喝了太多刺激
Drinking too much excitement,
会变得麻痹 一时忘情
I become numb, forgetting love for a moment.
短暂地以为疗愈 却在腐蚀身心
Briefly thinking it's healing, yet it erodes body and mind.
后悔都是放纵的累积
Regrets are just the accumulation of indulgence.
贪了情不自禁
Being greedy for love, unable to hold back,
会留下沉重的记忆
Will leave a heavy memory behind.
人不能打算过瘾 却不打算失去
One can't plan for pleasure without planning for loss.
没有幸福 不夹带危机
Without happiness, there's no hidden crisis.
我渴望身体是乐土 自然地慢舞
I long for a body that's a paradise, dancing slow and free.
不想要长出痛苦 就别种下错误
If you don't want to grow pain, don't plant the wrong seeds.
被俘虏
Captured
我渴望心灵是净土 自由地慢舞
I long for my soul to be a pure land, dancing freely and slow
能过滤可能带来乐极生悲的毒
To filter out the poisons that bring joy so quick to sadness
简单朴素
Simple and plain
这世界太吵太激情 我需要安宁
This world is too loud, too passionate, I need some peace
这生命太短太飞行 我需要散个步
This life is too short, too fleeting, I need to take a stroll
好好去回忆
Take time to reminisce
我渴望身体是乐土 自然地慢舞
I yearn for my body to be a paradise, dancing naturally and slow
不想要长出痛苦 就别种下错误
If you don't want to grow pain, then don't plant the wrong seeds
被俘虏
Captured
我渴望心灵是净土 自由地慢舞
I yearn for a soul that's pure, dancing freely and slow
能过滤可能带来乐极生悲的毒
Able to filter the poisons that bring joy's bitter woe
简单朴素
Simple and unadorned
