昙花忽然间枯萎
The night-blooming cereus suddenly withers away.
流星忽然间下墬来不及防备
A shooting star suddenly falls, too fast to prepare.
听过情歌的凄美
I've heard the sorrow in love songs.
看过玻璃的破碎划破了心扉
I've seen glass shatter, slicing through the heart's door.
闭上双眼呼吸熟悉气味
Close my eyes, breathe in that familiar scent.
想入非非
Lost in daydreams.
雨滴变成满天乱飞的眼泪
Raindrops turn into tears flying wildly through the sky.
如果还没到结尾
If it’s not yet the end,
怎么算半途而废不知者无罪
How can it be considered giving up halfway? The ignorant are not guilty.
时间的灰慢慢堆
Time's ashes slowly pile up.
堆成封闭的堡垒环绕我周围
Piled up, a closed fortress encircles me around.
而你眼睁睁的深邃瞳孔比夜更黑
And your wide, deep eyes are darker than the night.
而我闭上双眼就能够体会
And when I shut my eyes, I can truly feel.
时针慢慢倾斜
The hands of time slowly tilt.
我守在边界体会撕裂的感觉
I stand at the border, experiencing the sensation of tearing.
就算你是蝴蝶
Even if you're a butterfly,
也难飞越长夜用双翅与我吻别
It's still hard to fly beyond the long night and kiss me goodbye with your wings.
时光慢慢倾泻
Time slowly pours down.
也许终究会慢慢吞噬整个黑夜
Perhaps it will eventually swallow the entire night.
你还不了解永远不会了解
You still don’t understand, and never will.
我们用尽浑身解数也不能改变
We exhaust all our efforts yet can't change,
我们的差别
The differences between us.
如果还没到结尾
If the end hasn't come yet,
怎么算半途而废不知者无罪
How do we define giving up halfway, the ignorant is innocent?
时间的灰慢慢堆
The ashes of time slowly pile up,
堆成封闭的堡垒环绕我周围
Building a closed fortress surrounding me.
而你眼睁睁的深邃瞳孔比夜更黑
And your wide, deep pupils are darker than the night,
而我闭上双眼就能够体会
And when I close my eyes, I can truly feel,
时针慢慢倾斜
The hour hand tilts slowly,
我守在边界体会撕裂的感觉
I stand at the border, experiencing the feeling of being torn apart.
就算你是蝴蝶
Even if you are a butterfly
也难飞越长夜用双翅与我吻别
It's hard to fly through the long night and kiss me goodbye with your wings
时光慢慢倾泻
Time slowly spills away
也许终究会慢慢吞噬整个黑夜
Perhaps, in the end, it will gradually swallow the whole night
你还不了解永远不会了解
You still don't understand and will never understand
我们用尽浑身解数也不能改变
No matter how hard we try, we cannot change
我们的差别
Our differences
时针慢慢倾斜
The hands of the clock slowly tilt
我守在边界体会撕裂的感觉
I stand at the border, feeling the sensation of tearing
就算你是蝴蝶
Even if you are a butterfly
也难飞越长夜用双翅与我吻别
It's hard to soar through the long night, bidding farewell with your wings.
时光慢慢倾泻
Time slowly spills away.
也许终究会慢慢吞噬整个黑夜
Maybe in the end, it will gradually consume the whole of the night.
你还不了解永远不会了解
You still don't understand, never will you understand.
你的心留在白天我是黑夜
Your heart remains in the day, while I am the night.
你的心留在白天我是黑夜
Your heart remains in the day, while I am the night.
