常常想～忙碌的生活
Often I think of this busy life~
有多少感觉值得形容
How many feelings are worthy of description
重复的节奏不停的走
The repeating rhythm keeps on moving
没有人能回头
No one can turn back.
奔波为了什么
What is all this hustle for?
谁告诉我
Who told me
就这么 来来去去停停走走
Just like this, coming and going, stopping and moving on
什么都别想太多
Don't overthink anything.
生命的尊严只是随便说说
The dignity of life is just something we talk about casually.
就这么 纷纷扰扰汲汲追求
And so, we chase after all these troubles, caught up in the rush.
岁月就匆匆流过
Time just flows by in a hurry.
生命的尽头
At the end of life,
终究（还是）要（就）这么走过（就这么走过）
We ultimately have to pass through it like this (we pass through it like this).
总是为～现实的生活
Always for the reality of living,
必须要牺牲一点点自我
We must sacrifice a little bit of ourselves.
于是当午夜醒来
So when I wake up at midnight,
面对自己泪不停流
Facing myself, tears keep flowing.
生存为了什么 谁告诉我
For what do we survive? Who can tell me?
就这么 来来去去停停走走
Just like this, coming and going, halting and moving on
什么都别想太多
Don't think too much about anything
生命的尊严只是随便说说
The dignity of life is just a casual remark
就这么 纷纷扰扰汲汲追求
Just like this, amidst the chaos, we chase after dreams
岁月就匆匆流过
Time just rushes by
生命的尽头
At the end of life
终究（还是）要（就）这么走过（就这么走过）
Ultimately, we still have to walk through (just walk through)
别想的太多 别问的太多
Don't think too much, don't ask too much
最好让自己习惯沉默 要随波逐流
It's best to let yourself get used to silence, go with the flow
要随缘的过 这些请牢记心头
Live in accordance with fate, these are things to keep in mind
就这么 来来去去停停走走
Just like this, coming and going, stopping and walking,
什么都别想太多
Don't overthink anything at all,
生命的尊严只是随便说说
The dignity of life is just thrown around in words,
就这么 纷纷扰扰汲汲追求
Just like this, amidst the chaos, we chase and pursue,
岁月就匆匆流过
Time just rushes by,
生命的尽头
The end of life,
终究（还是）要（就）这么走过（就这么走过）
In the end, we all must walk through this (just walk through this),
就这么 来来去去停停走走
Just like this, coming and going, stopping and walking,
什么都别想太多
Don't overthink anything at all,
生命的尊严只是随便说说
The dignity of life is just thrown around in words
就这么 纷纷扰扰汲汲追求
Chasing after all this turmoil and strife,
岁月就匆匆流过
Time just rushes on by,
生命的尽头
At the end of life,
终究（还是）要（就）这么走过（就这么走过）
In the end, we must walk this path (we must walk this path),
就这么走过
We just keep walking on,
就这么走过
We just keep walking on,
就这么走过
We just keep walking on,
就这么走过
We just keep walking on.
