孤獨患者 – Bilingual Lyrics Chinese/English

Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

歡笑聲 歡呼聲

Laughter and cheers

炒熱氣氛 心卻很冷

Heat up the mood, but I feel so cold

聚光燈 是種蒙恩

The spotlight feels like a blessing

我卻不能 喊等一等

Yet I can't call for a pause

我真佩服我 還能幽默

I'm truly amazed I can still be humorous

掉眼淚時 用笑掩過

When tears fall, I hide them with a smile

怕人看破 顧慮好多

Afraid others will see through, full of worries

不談寂寞 我們就都快活

No need to talk about loneliness, then we can all be happy

我不唱聲嘶力竭的情歌

I don’t sing heart-wrenching love songs

不表示沒有心碎的時刻

That doesn’t mean I haven't had broken moments

我不曾攤開傷口任宰割

I've never laid bare my wounds to be hurt

癒合 就無人曉得 我內心挫折

Healing, no one knows the frustrations inside

活像個孤獨患者 自我拉扯

Living like a lonely patient, pulling myself apart

外向的孤獨患者 有何不可

An outgoing lonely patient, what’s wrong with that?

...

...

笑越大聲 越是殘忍

The louder I laugh, the more cruel it feels

擠滿體溫 室溫更冷

Filled with warmth, yet the room is colder

萬一關燈 空虛擾人

If the lights go out, the emptiness haunts me

我卻不能 喊等一等

But I can't call for a pause

你說你愛我 卻一直說

You say you love me, but keep saying

說我不該 窩在角落

I shouldn't stay in the corner

策劃逃脫 這也有錯

Planning to escape—there’s nothing wrong with that

連我脆弱 的權利都掠奪

Even my fragile right to be vulnerable is robbed

我不唱聲嘶力竭的情歌

I don’t sing heart-wrenching love songs

不表示沒有心碎的時刻

That doesn’t mean I haven't had broken moments

我不曾攤開傷口任宰割

I’ve never laid bare my wounds to be hurt

癒合 就無人曉得 我內心挫折

Healing, no one knows the frustrations inside

活像個孤獨患者 自我拉扯

Living like a lonely patient, pulling myself apart

外向的孤獨患者 有何不可

An outgoing lonely patient, what’s wrong with that?

...

...

我不要聲嘶力竭的情歌

I don’t want love songs that scream and cry

來提示我需要你的時刻

To remind me when I need you

表面鎮定並不是保護色

Calm on the surface isn’t protection

反而 是要你懂得 我不知為何

Instead, it’s that you need to understand I don’t know why

活像個孤獨患者 自我拉扯

Living like a lonely patient, pulling myself apart

外向的孤獨患者 需要認可

An outgoing lonely patient, craving recognition

...

...
