The Most Boring Afternoon on Earth - Lyricist: Alien Huang

No wind, no rain, no stubbornness left

No sweetness, no bitterness, and no loneliness

There’s no weight here, and no truth

Even the angels won’t dance

I want to take you for a walk in Shibuya

Traveling through light-years to explore my planet

But outside, there are too many passionate faces

Whose daily life is this after meals?

Although my wishes are a bit cliché

But your smile is just right

Thank you for your silent support for me

Turning hardships into happiness, little monster

(On this dangerous Earth)

Turning the impossible into possible

(So I never fall)

I just want to be with you again

To play big and cause a scene

Crazy crying and laughing

Then embrace tightly again

(Traveling through parallel time and space)

Staying in this moment

(Reminding me how to be happy)

Carving the shape of happiness

Being rich, this world can’t buy happiness

Being leisurely, in the friend circle, can’t find belonging (safe harbor)

The temperature of the entire universe, left with cold technology

Who is wrong, who is right, no one cares

Remember those pairs of burning gazes

Guarding me, the warm sun

Thank you for your silent support for me

Turning hardships into happiness, little monster

(On this dangerous Earth)

Turning the impossible into possible

(So I never fall)

I just want to be with you again

To play big and cause a scene

Crazy crying and laughing

Then embrace tightly again

(Traveling through parallel time and space)

Staying in this moment

(Reminding me how to be happy)

Feeling the weight of life

地球上最無聊的下午 作詞 Lyricist：黃鴻升 Alien Huang / 小怪獸

沒有風 沒有雨 沒有了頑固

沒有甜 沒有苦 也沒了孤獨

這裡沒有重量 也沒有真相

天使們也不會跳舞

想帶你去澀谷的街上走走

穿越幾萬光年逛逛我的星球

但是外頭 太多 太熱情的面容

日常是誰的茶餘飯後

雖然 我的願望有點老套

可是 有你的微笑就剛好

感謝你 對我 默默的 應援加油

讓辛苦變幸福的小怪獸

（在這危險地球）

把不可能變可能

（讓我不曾墜落）

只想再跟你一起

玩很大 再鬧一場

瘋狂的 哭和笑

然後再用力擁抱

（穿越平行時空）

停留在這一刻

（讓我想起怎麼快樂）

刻劃幸福的模樣

很有錢 這世界 買不到幸福

很悠閒 朋友圈 找不到歸屬（避風港）

全宇宙的溫度 剩下科技冷酷

誰錯誰對沒有誰在乎

記得 那一雙雙炙熱的眼光

守護著我 溫暖的太陽

感謝你 對我 默默的 應援加油

讓辛苦變幸福的小怪獸

（在這危險地球）

把不可能變可能

（讓我不曾墜落）

只想再跟你一起

玩很大 再鬧一場

瘋狂的 哭和笑

然後再用力擁抱

（穿越平行時空）

停留在這一刻

（讓我想起怎麼快樂）

感受生命的重量
