Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

鑿破你的心搞不開心眼 但我信仰率先給壓爛

I try to break into your heart but can't make you happy, but my belief is crushed first

我的心也堅持撞向這一堆炭

My heart insists on crashing into this pile of coal

為見你一刻焦急一千晚 為你讚美十倍地悉心裝扮

Anxious for the moment I see you, a thousand nights, I groom myself tenfold to be praised by you

懷抱裡然而心仍是冷

In your embrace, my heart is still cold

表面強如鋼的雞蛋 底蘊一早破碎我都心淡

The egg's surface is as strong as steel, the foundation has long been broken, I'm already disheartened

無奈你下意識從來未移動似座泰山

Helplessly, your subconscious never moves, like Mount Tai

拖拖拉拉原來漸已經燒光我耐性

Dragging on and on, my patience is gradually burning out

掏盡了我個性 對你太過尊敬

I've exhausted my personality, respecting you too much

令到關係結冰 問我怎樣破冰

Causing the relationship to freeze, asking me how to break the ice

花光青春仍然未種出一棵萬年青

Spending my youth still hasn't grown an evergreen

畢竟我岩石裡尋覓到半點愛雞蛋縱然撞破也盡興

After all, I find a little love in the rock, even if the egg breaks, I'm having fun

自信似堆沙一一的沖散 內裡理智分不出快慢

Confidence seems like a pile of sand washed away, inside, reason can't distinguish fast from slow

挖空一切尊嚴願你會貪一眼

Hollowing out all dignity, hoping you'll glance at me

逐塊去搬開搬不開嗟嘆 用上吊臂但鐵石多麼堅硬

Moving the rocks piece by piece, unable to move, sighing, using a crane but the stone is so hard

溶化你成為多年習慣

Melting you is a habit of many years

感動和頑固的中間 蛋殼多鞏固難免拉鋸爛

In the middle of being touched and stubborn, the eggshell is too strong, it's inevitable to pull apart and break

無奈你被劈開靈魂內存在這大雪山

Helplessly, you are cleaved open, a snowy mountain exists within your soul

拖拖拉拉原來漸已經燒光我耐性

Dragging on and on, my patience is gradually burning out

掏盡了我個性 對你太過尊敬

I've exhausted my personality, respecting you too much

令到關係結冰 問我怎樣破冰

Causing the relationship to freeze, asking me how to break the ice

花光青春仍然未種出一棵萬年青

Spending my youth still hasn't grown an evergreen

畢竟我岩石裡尋覓到半點愛雞蛋縱然撞破也盡興

After all, I find a little love in the rock, even if the egg breaks, I'm having fun

能了結嗎？(命運亦漸漸硬化 雖知徒勞難放下)

Can it end? (Fate is gradually hardening, knowing it's futile, hard to let go)

你能軟化嗎？(寂寞特別地可怕)

Can you soften? (Loneliness is especially scary)

放得開嗎？(沙丘那會種出花)

Can you let go? (Sand dunes won't grow flowers)

拖拖拉拉原來漸已經燒光我耐性

Dragging on and on, my patience is gradually burning out

難道我太好勝 叫你加倍任性

Could it be I'm too competitive, making you even more capricious

奉上生命結晶 但你一一看輕

Offering the crystallization of life, but you look down on it all

花光青春仍然未種出一棵萬年青

Spending my youth still hasn't grown an evergreen

畢竟我岩石裡尋覓到半點愛雞蛋縱然撞破也盡興

After all, I find a little love in the rock, even if the egg breaks, I'm having fun

撞向你的心身心都枯竭 讓我永遠共殞石灰飛煙滅

Crashing into your heart, body and mind are exhausted, let me be forever reduced to ashes with the meteorite

迷上你如同一場浩劫

Infatuated with you is like a catastrophe
