倒刺 – Bilingual Lyrics Chinese/English

• By: 薛凱琪, Fiona Sit

Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

如畫如詩 醉生無知

Like a painting, like poetry, drunkenly living unaware

落線潑墨 任性飛濺

Splatting ink on the paper, reckless and splashing around

如花如煙 半生誰知

Like flowers, like smoke, who knew half a lifetime

尚有缺憾 夢死過後聽見

There are still regrets, hearing after dreams die

原諒了你 總可惜聲線

Forgiving you, but the voice remains a pity

埋藏憾事 如伏線

Hidden regrets like a foreshadowing line

如日記裡的一根倒刺

Like a thorn in a diary

無從自拔 何自騙

Can't escape, why lie to myself

原諒了你

Forgiving you

誰在最尾

Who is at the end

還是怪你

Still blaming you

如假如真 語出無心

If it's fake, if it's real, words spoken unwittingly

夢裡責罰 沒法安枕

Punished in dreams, can't rest easy

拔起連根 痛不欲生

Pulled out by the root, feeling pain beyond words

但卻慶幸 換了美麗教訓

But grateful for the harsh lesson that changed me

誰亦有過 解不到的結

Everyone has a knot they can't untie

密佈懸疑 如亂線

Full of mysteries, like tangled threads

誰亦有過 勾心的倒刺

Everyone has a sneaky thorn

無從自拔和自騙

Unable to escape or deceive myself

誰亦跌過

Everyone has fallen

誰亦痛過

Everyone has hurt

誰沒試過

Everyone has tried

經過 做過 犯錯 醒覺

Gone through, done wrong, awakened

自我 道破 罪過 補過

Self-revealed guilt, made amends

讓我

Let me

原諒了你 總可惜聲線

Forgive you, but the voice remains a pity

埋藏憾事 如伏線

Hidden regrets like a foreshadowing line

如日記裡的一根倒刺

Like a thorn in a diary

無從自拔 何自騙

Can't escape, why lie to myself

經過 做過 犯錯 醒覺 (誰亦有過 解不到的結 密佈懸疑 如亂線)

Gone through, done wrong, awakened (everyone has a knot they can't untie, full of mysteries, like tangled threads)

給我 道破 罪過 讓我 (誰亦有過 勾心的倒刺 無從自拔和自騙)

Tell me, reveal the guilt, let me (everyone has sneaky thorns, unable to escape or deceive myself)

讓我

Let me
