迷迷蒙蒙 你给的梦
In the hazy gloom, the dream you gave me
出现裂缝 隐隐作痛
Cracking appears, a faint pain inside
怎么沟通 你都没空
How to communicate? You never have time
说我不懂 说了没用
Saying I don't understand, words are in vain
他的笑容 有何不同
His smile, what's so different about it?
在你心中 我不再受宠
In your heart, I'm no longer adored
我的天空 是雨是风
Is my sky rain or wind?
还是彩虹 你在操纵
Or is it a rainbow that you're controlling?
恨自己真的没用 情绪激动
Hating myself proves truly useless, emotions in turmoil
一颗心到现在还在抽痛
A heart that still aches to this day
还为分手前那句抱歉 在感动
Still moved by that apology before we parted
穿梭时间的画面的钟
The clock of images weaving through time
从反方向 开始移动
Starting to move in the opposite direction
回到当初爱你的时空
Back to the moment when I loved you
停格内容 不忠
Frozen content, unfaithful
所有回忆对著我进攻
All memories attack me head-on
我的伤口 被你拆封
My wounds unsealed by you
誓言太沉重 泪被纵容
Promises too heavy, tears unleashed
脸上汹涌 失控
On my face, a surge, out of control
城市霓虹 不安跳动 染红夜空
City neon flickers, restless beats, dyeing the night sky red
过去种种 像一场梦 不敢去碰 一想就痛
Past events feel like a dream, too afraid to touch, it pains me to think.
心碎内容 每一秒钟 都有不同 你不懂
The heartbreak unfolds with every second, each one different, you wouldn't understand.
连一句珍重 也有苦衷 也不想送
Even a single word of care hides its own struggles, I don’t wish to send it.
寒风中 废墟烟囱 停止转动 一切落空
In the cold wind, the chimney of ruins stops spinning, everything falls into emptiness.
在人海中 盲目跟从 别人的梦 全面放纵
In the crowd, blindly following others' dreams, a complete indulgence.
恨没有用 疗伤止痛 不再感动 没有梦
Hate serves no purpose, healing the wounds and numbing the pain, no longer feeling, no dreams left.
痛不知轻重 泪水鲜红 全面放纵
Pain without measure, tears bright red, fully indulged.
恨自己真的没用 情绪激动
Hate for myself truly feels useless, emotions running high.
一颗心到现在还在抽痛
A heart that still aches until now,
还为分手前那句抱歉 在感动
Still moved by that apology before we parted ways.
穿梭时间的画面的钟
The clock that weaves through time's pages
从反方向 开始移动
Starts to move in reverse direction
回到当初爱你的时空
Returning to the time and space when I loved you
停格内容 不忠
Frozen moments, unfaithful
所有回忆对著我进攻
All the memories attack me head-on
我的伤口 被你拆封
My wounds have been unsealed by you
誓言太沉重 泪被纵容
Promises too heavy, tears allowed to flow
脸上汹涌 失控
A storm brews on my face, out of control
穿梭时间的画面的钟
The clock that weaves through time's pages
从反方向 开始移动
Starts to move in reverse direction
回到当初爱你的时空
Back to the time when I loved you
停格内容 不忠
Frozen in place, unfaithful
