懦夫 lyrics with English translation

周围的人群堵住了我的出口

The crowd around me blocks my escape.

想爬起来我只能说真的好难

I want to rise, but I can only say it’s truly so hard.

防火巷传来的枪声把我从天堂叫醒

The gunfire from the fire lane wakes me from heaven.

一名白种人褐色头发在我面前倒下

A Caucasian with brown hair collapses before me.

从他的手里那半包看到不少我荒唐的影子

From his hand, that half pack reflects so many of my ridiculous shadows.

从他的眼球看到发抖的我 是那么的丑陋

From his eyes, I see my trembling self, it's so ugly.

于是捡起地上他那第二个钮扣

So I pick up his second button from the ground.

提醒自己该开始懂事 不被软性药物控制

Reminding myself to learn to be sensible, not controlled by soft drugs.

在我的眼里懂得拒绝才能存活下来

In my eyes, understanding rejection is the key to survive.

活著 不是用来演一出糜烂的黑色喜剧

Living isn’t meant to be a performance of a decadent black comedy.

说不 我很后悔当初没有这样的肯定

I can't say it, I truly regret not having that certainty back then.

说不 不代表懦夫

Saying no doesn't mean I'm a coward.

真不该 睁不开 别让我的地球变暗

I really shouldn't, can't open my eyes, don't let my world grow dim.

互相残杀的动物真美

The animals that slay each other are truly beautiful.

被期待 被覆盖 蜕变的公式我学不来

Being expected, being overshadowed, the formulas of transformation I can't learn.

我闻不到腐烂的香味

I can't smell the fragrance of decay.

说不 我很后悔当时没有这样的肯定

I can't say it, I truly regret not having that certainty back then.

说不 不代表懦夫 你应该很骄傲

Saying no doesn't mean I'm a coward, you should be proud.

我看不起人们无知的好奇作祟心态

I disdain the ignorant curiosity that plagues people.

去亲近死神 你了吗 很了吗

Have you gone to embrace death? Are you done yet?

肮脏的香味我吸了太多太多

I've inhaled too much of the dirty scent, oh, so much.

腐败的视野我看了太多太多

I've seen too much of the corrupt view, oh, so much.

瞳孔放大 不代表就能看得更多

Dilated pupils don’t mean I can see any more.

难怪大人们说我们永远都长不大

No wonder the grown-ups say we'll never grow up.

那一块在我梦里的干净天空

That piece of clean sky in my dreams, oh-oh.

那一块在我梦里的干净天空

That piece of clean sky in my dreams, oh-oh.

是否玩大风吹也许就能看到

Could playing the breeze game help me see it?

是否玩大风吹也许就能看到

Could playing the breeze game help me see it?

真不该 睁不开 别让我的地球变暗

I really shouldn't close my eyes, don’t let my world grow dark.

(街角的消防栓上的红色油漆 反射出儿时天真的嬉戏模样)

(The red paint on the fire hydrant at the corner reflects the innocent play of childhood.)

被期待 被覆盖 蜕变的公式我学不来

Anticipated and covered, the formula for transformation escapes me.

(难道这不是我要的天堂景象 沉沦假象 你只会感到更加沮丧)

(Isn't this the paradise I long for? A sinking illusion, you only feel more depressed.)

不该 睁不开 别让我的地球变暗

I really shouldn't, unable to open my eyes, don't let my world grow dark.

(街角的消防栓上的红色油漆 反射出儿时天真的嬉戏模样)

(The red paint on the fire hydrant at the corner reflects the playful innocence of my childhood.)

被期待 被覆盖 蜕变的公式我学不来

Anticipated and covered, the formula for transformation escapes me.

(难道这不是我要的天堂景象 沉沦假象 你只会感到更加沮丧)

(Isn't this the paradise I long for? A sinking illusion, you only feel more depressed.)

真不该 睁不开 别让我的地球变暗

I truly shouldn't, unable to open my eyes, don't let my world grow dark.

被期待 被覆盖 蜕变的公式我学不来

Anticipated and covered, the formula for transformation escapes me.

(难道这不是我要的天堂景象 沉沦假象 你只会感到更加沮丧)

Is this not the paradise I long for, a mere illusion, leaving you feeling more despondent?
