Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

從頭溶掉我多災的信仰 鑄造更光更亮

Melt away my cursed faith from the beginning, forge a brighter, shinier steel

淋過冷水 也等得漫長

Have been brushed by cold water, waiting so long

隨着每個打擊 我會愈強

With every blow, I grow stronger

最難舌劍唇槍 怎樣武裝 和人言打仗

The toughest battles are with words and tongues, how to arm myself and fight others

其實這鋼盔 天天加厚 最後令我 站着亦牽強

Actually, this steel helmet gets thicker every day, but in the end, I stand there feeling strained

我縱是內傷 但強人 哪可休養

Even with internal wounds, how can a strong person ever rest and recover?

我變做了鋼鐵 但未完全勝利

I’ve become steel, but I haven’t completely won

無人晚上會記起

No one will remember me at night

我都想可以脆弱到 仿似瓷器

I also wish I could be as fragile as porcelain

極易碎那顆心 就如玻璃

That easily shattered heart, just like glass

我變做了鋼鐵 屹立茫茫戰地

I’ve become steel, standing firm on this vast battlefield

形成最礙眼對比

Creating the most glaring contrast

若我得到常人 戀愛運氣

If I could have ordinary luck in love

又哪用鐵金剛 一雙鐵臂

Then what do I need this ironclad, these iron arms for?

...

...

如可強硬到孤單都嚇退

If I could be so tough that even loneliness can scare me away

要滴過幾次淚 才夠建築 永生的身軀

Having shed tears enough times to build a body that lasts forever

然後我掃得低 一支軍隊

Then I look down on my army

先知過去如水 堅毅至此 原來回不去

Prophecies of the past like water, unwavering, but now I realize I can’t go back

無奈我有點 迫不得已 發育直到 墮地亦不碎

No matter how desperate I am, I develop until even falling into hell won’t shatter me

卻困着肉身 沒人來 也出不去 woo

But trapped in this flesh, no one comes, no way out—woe

我變做了鋼鐵 但未完全勝利

I’ve become steel, but I haven’t completely won

無人晚上會記起

No one will remember me at night

我都想可以脆弱到 仿似瓷器

I also wish I could be as fragile as porcelain

極易碎那顆心 就如玻璃

That easily shattered heart, just like glass

我變做了鋼鐵 屹立茫茫戰地

I’ve become steel, standing firm on this vast battlefield

形成最礙眼對比

Creating the most glaring contrast

若我分到常人 戀愛運氣

If I could have ordinary luck in love

又哪用我手中 這利器 woo

Then what’s the use of this weapon in my hand—woe

...

...

我變做了鋼鐵 但為誰人獻技

I’ve become steel, but for whom do I perform?

前無去路至記起

No way forward, only memories

我都想可以脆弱到 仿似瓷器

I also wish I could be as fragile as porcelain

亮白而無瑕 猶像花樽精美

Bright, flawless, like a delicate flower vase

我變做了鋼鐵 每日重臨戰地

I’ve become steel, returning to the battlefield each day

眉頭再沒樂與悲

Frowning without joy or sorrow

若我得到談情 慢條斯理

If I could take my time in love

讓我用我真身 愛你

Let me love you with my true self

...

...
