[English]

You hear the alarm clock ringing, and you push away the pillow

You wake up in an endless exhausted life

Heroes don’t appear, miracles don’t happen

All you have is bitter instant coffee powder

You watch the news every day, waiting for something to happen

Giving life a fresh start, a new rebirth

The Earth's core isn't boiling, meteors aren't falling in torrents

It's just you and days covered in dust

Hoping for an amazing journey, but you're still waiting

Waiting until youth is wasted, pouring out your warmth, then starting to regret

Longing for eternity, but afraid of scars, afraid of shattering into pieces

In the end, it's just me alone, no gods, living in solitude

You just left the door, and you start waiting again

Waiting to go home, back to your fortress

If destiny has a door, its name is the Heart's door

It's not about whether it's possible, but whether you're willing

Life isn't just a process; it's a beautiful journey

The scenery has light and dark, love and hate

The first stop is innocence, the second is youth

The next stop's name is waiting for you to discover

Hoping for an amazing journey, but you're still waiting

Waiting until youth is wasted, pouring out your warmth, then starting to regret

Longing for eternity, even with scars, and daring everything

Maybe someone will accompany you as you embark on a new life

Every soul, everyone survives after a disaster

Every heartbeat, every tear, is waiting for a chance to be reborn

If fate has destined your birth, and the end of the world never happens

Don't wait for the next life, make this moment meaningful

Hoping for an incredible journey, you shouldn't wait any longer

Don't waste youth pouring out your warmth, only to regret later

Longing for eternity, even with scars, daring everything

Life isn't fading yet, next stop is your second life

Your second life

[Chinese]

你聽到鬧鐘聲 你推開了抱枕

你醒在無盡的 疲倦的人生

英雄没有出現 奇跡沒有發生

你只有苦澀的 即溶咖啡粉

你天天看新聞 在等什麼發生

讓人生再重頭 再起死回生

地心没有沸騰 隕石没有傾盆

只有你 和日子 長滿了灰塵

期待一趟旅程 精彩萬分 你卻還再等

等到荒廢青春 用盡體溫 才開始悔恨

期待一種永恆 卻怕傷痕 怕碎骨粉身

最後還是我一個人 沒有神 你孤獨的生存

你才剛出了門 你就開始在等

你等著 快回家 回你的圍城

命運如果有門 名字就叫心門

並不是 能不能 而是肯不肯

生命不是過程 而是美麗旅程

風景有亮和暗 也有愛和恨

第一站叫天真 第二站叫青春

下一站的名字 等你去確認

期待一趟旅程 精彩萬分 你卻還再等

等到荒廢青春 用盡體溫 才開始悔恨

期待一種永恆 即使傷痕 也奮不顧身

也許會有一個人 陪著你 向新人生啟程

每個靈魂每個人 每次劫後餘生

每個心跳每滴淚 在等絕處逢生

如果命運注定你的誕生 如果末日始終沒有發生

不要等到來生 讓此時此刻能不虛此生

期待一趟旅程 精彩萬分 你不該再等

別到荒廢青春用盡體溫 才開始悔恨

期待一種永恆即使傷痕 也奮不顧身

生命還沒有黃昏 下一站 你的第二人生

你的第二人生

La la la la la la la la
