Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

受萬年淨化 來一次犧牲

Purified for ten thousand years, one sacrifice

割去晦暗的一半 才是我

Cutting away half of the darkness, that is who I am

到正常世界半出半入

Half in, half out, in the normal world

用萬年直覺 尋一次濕吻

Using eternal intuition, seeking a wet kiss

再見我的一半 才是我

Saying goodbye to my half, that is who I am

得到一個一個需要也需要

Gaining one after another, what I need and what I want

恰似一半天使一半是撒旦

Just like half angel, half Satan

不必 欺騙 必須 真實

No need to deceive, must be honest

幾多 親愛 很多 是癮

How many loves, many are addictive

馴服我 或是 炫耀我 Hoo

Taming me, or showing off me, Hoo

是半動物 只相信天生

Half animal, only believing in instinct

半植物 盡辦法滋生

Half plant, trying to grow

我活下來是人是蛇是藤是根

Whether I live as human, snake, vine, or root

污糟的半身釋放高貴的半身

Dirty half of me releases the noble half

愛或恨 總糾結於心

Love or hate, always tangled in the heart

遠或近 永遠要近

Far or near, always stay close

信慾望 得慾望

Believe in desire, crave desire

但幾多身 幾多心

How many bodies, how many hearts

幾多生 尚未呼吸

How many lives, still unbreath-based

...

...

喜歡 一切 喜歡 之物

Love everything I like, everything I enjoy

妖魔 鬼怪 天昏 地暗

Monsters, ghosts, chaos and darkness

誰是我 羨慕 誰是我

Who am I, who do I envy, who am I

是半動物 只相信天生

Half animal, only believing in instinct

半植物 盡辦法滋生

Half plant, trying to grow

我活下來是人是神是零是一

Living as human, god, zero, or one

溫暖的半身釋放冰凍的半身

Warm half releases the frozen half

愛或恨 總糾結於心

Love or hate, always tangled in the heart

遠或近 永遠要近

Far or near, always stay close

信慾望 得慾望

Believe in craving, pursue desire

涅槃下渡眾生 可鬆開抑壓的眾生

Under Nirvana, guiding all beings, releasing the oppressed

(半動物) 觸覺一切的轉身

(Half animal) All senses turn around

(半植物) 伸向一切森林

(Half plant) Reaching into every forest

哀痛一切的殺生 Woohoo

Mourning all killing, Woohoo

愛或恨 總糾結於心

Love or hate, always tangled in the heart

遠或近 永遠要近

Far or near, always stay close

信慾望

Believe in desire

誰伴誰偷偷的於一室 偷偷的在接吻

Who secretly stays with whom in a room, secretly kissing

Woo, and I can't breathe

Woo, and I can't breathe

And I won't breathe

And I won't breathe

I only breathe for you

I only breathe for you

I only breathe for you

I only breathe for you

...
