[English]

Zero to zero, the midnight scene is empty.

The whole story ends in a silent film montage.

Heartbroken 3D glasses turn into black-and-white movies.

Black and white piano variations, the theme song.

Losing you, losing superpowers.

Losing you makes a sequel impossible.

Clone a hundred copies, a hundred stand-ins.

Can't clone even a single ounce of soul.

Good lover, sorry, good lover.

Speeding back through life, leaving me with a ticket stub.

Falling at the end into my own hands.

Compared to heartache, not having a heart hurts even more.

Good lover missed the perfect script.

Transforming into a stainless steel Iron Man, yet still can't turn things around.

Who’s stopping us from moving?

Who’s remote controlling me? Every fluttering heartbeat, every dream.

Throw the cape into the phone booth.

Leave the piano for myself.

Taking off the helmet and armor, like a cold joke.

We’re not as great as we imagine.

Good lover, sorry, good lover.

Speeding back through life, leaving me with a ticket stub.

Falling at the end into my own hands.

No temperature, no heartbeat—that’s what pain is.

Good lover missed the perfect script.

Transforming into a stainless steel Iron Man, yet can't turn the tide.

Who’s stopping us from moving at all?

Who’s digging a hole in my heart? An endless hole.

Good lover, missed the perfect script.

Transforming into a stainless steel Iron Man, yet can't turn the tide.

Who’s stopping us from even moving?

Who’s hollowed out my heart, digging a hole again.

...

[Chinese]

零比零 午夜場空景

全劇終 默劇蒙太奇

心碎的3D眼鏡 變黑白電影

黑白鋼琴變奏主題曲

失去你 失去超能力

失去你 不可能續集

複製一百個分身 一百個替身

複製不了一公克靈魂

好的情人 對不起好的情人

飛奔的倒帶人生 留給我一張票根

當自己最後栽在 自己手裡

比起心痛 沒有心還更痛

好的情人 錯過了好的劇本

變身不銹鋼鐵人 也不能反敗為勝

是誰讓我們 動也不能動

誰遙控我 每次怦然心動 每個夢

把披風 丟給電話亭

把鋼琴 留給我自己

卸下了鋼盔鐵甲 像個冷笑話

我們不如想像中偉大

好的情人 對不起好的情人

飛奔的倒帶人生 留給我一張票根

當自己最後栽在 自己手裡

沒有體溫 沒有心才叫作 痛

好的情人 錯過了好的劇本

變身不銹鋼鐵人 也不能反敗為勝

是誰讓我們 一動也不能動

誰把我 心臟挖一個洞 無底洞

好的情人 錯過了好的劇本

變身不銹鋼鐵人 也不能反敗為勝

是誰讓我們 一動也不能動

誰把我的 心挖一個洞 再掏空
