[English]

Dawn comes, I lack the strength to shed tears

Unease follows the city's noise, destroying some lovers

Like happiness, hard to chase

Night falls, I go to sleep heavily

Scenery, times, or buildings, crushed by time in an instant

Unable to resist decay

Let go, turn around, humans find the boundless light of the universe

No longer expect anything at this moment

Only want to let go after exhausting myself

Only want to hide after facing it

I really want to live again

We can escape, find new aspirations

Then leave the past behind, silently allow all memories to fade

We can ascend into the sky, regardless of the ugliness of the world

Few blessings in the city, board the cabin to search

...

Let go, turn around, humans find the boundless light of the universe

After losing weight, I will drift out of this whirlpool

Time passes, people disperse

Who fears? Who finds the light?

I really want to live again

We can escape, find new aspirations

Then leave the past behind, silently allow all memories to fade

We can ascend into the sky, regardless of the ugliness of the world

Few blessings in the city, board the cabin to search

Want to give up everything cherished

Want to turn away from all the joys and sorrows of parting and gathering

Who is chasing in fate?

Who is not afraid in the apocalypse?

...

We can escape, but we are very frustrated

Looking back at the sky exploding, it is actually too fragile to counterattack

We can ascend into the sky, but we realize it is wrong

Few blessings in the city, regret not returning to search

...

Escape, expecting to be tired later

Finally, achieving a feat

But I really want to retreat

Even if shattered

...

[Chinese]

天光 無力掉眼淚

不安 隨著鬧市聲 摧毀一些愛侶

像快樂難追

天黑 沉重地進睡

風景 時代或建築 瞬間給光陰壓碎

無法不衰

放手 轉身 人類 找到 宇宙 無垠 的光

不再望這一刻有甚麼

曾力竭 才想放

曾面對 才想去躲

好想我 能重頭活過

我們能出走 找新的嚮往

然後拋低過去 來默許所有記憶變薄

我們能升空 不管世界醜惡

城內祝福無多 坐上機艙去搜索

放手 轉身 人類 找到 宇宙 無垠 的光

失重後會漂出這漩渦

時日過 人失散

誰懼怕 誰找到光

好想我 能重頭活過

我們能出走 找新的嚮往

然後拋低過去 來默許所有記憶變薄

我們能升空 不管世界醜惡

城內祝福無多 坐上機艙去搜索

要放棄一切珍惜過的

要背向一切悲喜散聚

誰在命運裡追

誰在末日未畏懼

我們能出走 偏偏很沮喪

回望天空爆破 其實太脆弱不懂反撲

我們能升空 偏偏發覺很錯

城內祝福無多 後悔不歸去搜索

出走 期待後會累

終於 成就著壯舉

偏偏好想撤退

就算粉碎
