Growing Up

• By: TYSON YOSHI

Lyrics:

[中文]

[English]

陽光失蹤霧與水遮擋了視線

Sunshine disappears, fog and water block the view

狂風正悄悄靠近看著沒發現

The fierce wind silently approaches, unaware I do not notice

成長於温室的你

You, raised in a greenhouse

看不見聽不見

Cannot see or hear

童年被風吹散

Childhood blown away by the wind

現實來得太慢

Reality comes too slow

You can't see what you can't see

You can't see what you can't see

You can't be who you wanna be

You can't be who you wanna be

Reality Is Hella Deadly

Reality is hella deadly

No one's gonna set you free

No one's gonna set you free

墜落煉獄 白日做夢 漸漸的死去

Falling into hell, daydreaming, slowly dying

想法太多 束縛更多 汐潮般減退

Too many thoughts, more restrictions, ebbing like the tide

開始想念 童年的感覺 時光不會回流

Start missing the feeling of childhood, time won't turn back

Reality Is Hella Deadly

Reality is hella deadly

No one's gonna set you free

No one's gonna set you free

如一天開始感到習慣絕望

Feeling despair at the start of each day

I'd never live my life this way

I'd never live my life this way

If I knew this is what they call growing up

If I knew this is what they call growing up

I'd never live my life this way

I'd never live my life this way

霧與水散去但覺特別累

The fog and water clear, but I feel especially tired

晨光騷擾我思緒

Morning light disturbs my thoughts

吐出煙圈 動力早被粉碎

Exhaling smoke rings, my motivation crushed

Yeah

Yeah

人生苦短 我淚染兩行

Life is short, tears stain my cheeks

孤獨的堡壘 童年化做雨水

A lonely fortress, childhood turned to rain

You can't see what you can't see

You can't see what you can't see

You can't be who you wanna be

You can't be who you wanna be

Reality Is Hella Deadly

Reality is hella deadly

No one's gonna set you free

No one's gonna set you free

墜落煉獄 白日做夢 漸漸的死去

Falling into hell, daydreaming, slowly dying

想法太多 束縛更多 汐潮般減退

Too many thoughts, more restrictions, ebbing like the tide

開始想念 童年的感覺 時光不會回流

Start missing the feeling of childhood, time won't turn back

Reality Is Hella Deadly

Reality is hella deadly

No one's gonna set you free

No one's gonna set you free

墜落煉獄 白日做夢 漸漸的死去

Falling into hell, daydreaming, slowly dying

想法太多 束縛更多 汐潮般減退

Too many thoughts, more restrictions, ebbing like the tide

開始想念 童年的感覺 時光不會回流

Start missing the feeling of childhood, time won't turn back

Reality Is Hella Dealy

Reality is hella deadly

No one's gonna set you free

No one's gonna set you free

如一天開始感到習慣絕望

Feeling despair at the start of each day

I'd never live my life this way

I'd never live my life this way

If I knew this is what they call growing up

If I knew this is what they call growing up

I'd never live my life this way

I'd never live my life this way
