逆行

• By: 謝霆鋒

Lyrics:

[中文]

[English]

如殘酷是旅程

If cruelty is part of the journey

只想釋放天性

I just want to let my nature free

不懂禮貌回應

Reply politely without understanding

如馴服是過程

If control is just a process

怎可刻意適應

How can I deliberately conform?

恕我不認命

Forgive me for not submitting

似蔓藤 懸崖生長

Like a vine growing on a cliff

能迎難再上 不稀罕普世 來鼓掌

Able to face difficulties again, not caring about the world—just applause

似石頭 沿途風霜

Like stone—weathered by storms along the way

仍頑強進化 不伸手討要 誰欣賞

Yet still evolving stubbornly, not asking for help—who appreciates?

為什麼 定義我

Why define me?

世界不應該只得一種結果

The world shouldn't have only one kind of outcome

用什麼 奈我何

What does it matter to me?

就算聽不到祝福我亦如我

Even if I don't receive blessings, I'm still me

雖千百萬人 一意逆行

No matter if thousands or millions go against the flow

只想保有 年少時一點天真

I only want to keep a bit of innocent youth

歲月在烙印 放任吧靈魂

Time leaves its mark—let the soul be free

似蔓藤 懸崖生長

Like a vine growing on a cliff

能迎難再上 不稀罕普世 來鼓掌

Able to face difficulties again, not caring about the world—just applause

似石頭 沿途風霜

Like stone—weathered by storms along the way

仍頑強進化 不伸手討要 誰欣賞

Still stubbornly evolving, not asking for help—who appreciates?

為什麼 定義我

Why define me?

世界不應該只得一種結果

The world shouldn't have only one kind of outcome

用什麼 奈我何

What does it matter to me?

就算聽不到祝福我亦如我

Even if I don't receive blessings, I'm still me

雖千百萬人 一意逆行

No matter if thousands or millions go against the flow

只想保有 年少時一點天真

I only want to keep a bit of innocent youth

不屑合群 一放絕塵

Despising conformity, I soar beyond the dust

今天軀殼 仍寄存當初基因

Today, my shell still contains my original genes

歲月在烙印 放任吧靈魂

Time leaves its mark—let the soul be free
