[English]

Talking about life’s hardships—life and death, good and evil, love and hate

During these seven days off, I won’t talk about the cause or the reason

Draped in a scarf, just me and myself getting close

The closed-off, gloomy atmosphere somehow brings a strange joy—it's like rebirth

Life has hundreds of loved ones, but who’s the closest one?

Recognize each other, then hold ourselves tight—our true selves, Woo!

Abundant, this solo act demands full commitment—laugh truly, cry genuinely, find your own excitement

Be still, relax, and heal yourself

Wearing a face full of dust, I reach out and wipe it away—then ask

How can the mundane world break my spirit? Asking the mirror—oh Lord

Life has hundreds of loved ones, but who’s truly the closest?

Recognize ourselves again, then love and hold tight—our true selves, Woo!

Full of richness, this solo performance requires total dedication—laugh genuinely, cry sincerely, find your own thrill

Quietly, relax and breathe—at room temperature

(Only hearing one breath out, one breath in)

(Just me breathing in and out)

Seven days in a row—a quick gift to myself

In the soul, I create tomorrow

Life hidden in my palm—when I open it, the world of light and shadow unfolds

There will still be wars and earthquakes, I believe

Riches—go out and relax, date again, marry again, share the love

Stability, that MM7 style

Life

[Chinese]

艱苦說人生 生死 正邪 愛恨

在這七天的假期 不說果 不說因

披一塊圍巾 只得我和我 親近

自閉氣氛多陰森 叫一種高興 在誕生

生命 有數百個至親 但最親 是哪一個人

相認 再自愛抱緊 真身 Woo

豐盛 獨腳戲要瞓身 笑得真 喊得真 自己找興奮

安靜 放輕鬆修好 自身

披一臉塵埃 伸手掃掉再 質問

俗世怎麼傷透神 問問鏡中 某君

生命 有數百個至親 但最親 是哪一個人

相認 再自愛抱緊 真身 Woo

豐盛 獨腳戲要瞓身 笑得真 喊得真 自己找興奮

安靜 放輕鬆呼吸 常溫

(只聽到一呼 一吸)

(只得我一呼 一吸)

一連七日 速成禮物

心靈中 開創明日

生命 埋藏在我手心 再打開 世間光與陰

肯定 繼續有戰爭 與地震

豐盛 獨個去散散心 再拍拖 再結婚 將愛分

安定 那MM7式

人生
