香烟点过 我又拼命再燃点
With the cigarette lit, I try to ignite once more,
手机响到 断电也没有发现
My phone rings, but even in power failure, I'm unaware;
风褛穿了 五日我亦继续穿
Wearing this windbreaker for five days straight, I'm still clad,
灯泡烧了 却自觉共你在相见
The light bulb's burnt out, yet I feel you here, as if we meet;
爱到这里 至发现真相
At love's end, I finally see the truth unfold.
寻乐时 一不忍手 快感过量
In the search for joy, unable to hold back, pleasure overwhelms,
连后遗都百倍来奉上
Even the aftermath, I offer up a hundredfold.
呆滞到
Stunned to the point,
凝视也没焦点
Staring blankly, with no focus in sight,
呆滞到像不知好戏已是做完
Dazed to the point of not knowing the grand show has come to an end.
死守空置戏院
Clinging to an empty theater,
呆滞到
Stuck in a daze,
存活也像敷衍
Surviving feels like apathy,
呆滞到像七天七晚也没睡眠
Stuck in a daze, like seven days and nights without sleep,
一首歌听了近600遍
A song played nearly 600 times,
开水干了 那煤气炉继续烧
The water boiled dry, yet the gas stove keeps burning,
金鱼死了 我亦快没有养料
The goldfish is dead, and I'm running low on sustenance,
单位空了 却被那幻觉围剿
The unit is empty, yet I'm besieged by illusions,
崩溃的我 脸上似在笑但非笑
The me that's crumbling wears a smile that isn't a smile,
爱到这里 至发现真相
Love has reached this point, revealing the truth.
寻乐时 一不忍手 快感过量
While seeking joy, I can't help but indulge, pleasure overwhelms me.
连后遗都百倍来奉上
Even the aftereffects come back a hundredfold.
呆滞到
Stunned to the point
凝视也没焦点
Where staring has lost its focus.
呆滞到像不知好戏已是做完
Stunned like I've no idea the best show has already ended.
死守空置戏院
Holding on to an empty theater.
呆滞到
Stunned to the point
存活也像敷衍
Survival feels like just going through the motions.
呆滞到像七天七晚也没睡眠
Stunned like I've been awake for seven days and nights without sleep.
终生黑了眼圈
For a lifetime, I've worn dark circles under my eyes.
怀念你
Missing you
呆滞当做消遣
Stagnate as a pastime
呆滞到像不知好戏已是做完
Stagnate as if the good show had already ended
死守空置戏院
Clinging to an empty theater
忘掉你 离别已十七天
Forgetting you, it's been seventeen days since goodbye
呆滞到像一生一世也没睡眠
Stagnate as if a lifetime has passed without rest
偏偏天国却谢绝接见
Yet heaven refuses to grant an audience
