[English]

Like a phantom

They're crawling in my dreams

They don't phantom

Can you hear it?

Can you hear it?

在時間的交界

噩夢分割的畫面

操控誰的忐忑

顛倒世界規則

It just gets louder

Yeah, it just gets harder

我只想被偷走

在瞬間

虛幻輪廓的改變

我能看見

解開前夜深淵的

指引之

真相被透徹

4, 3, 2, 1, times

永長久的破擊

卻的住台

潛在恐懼的靈物

穿越森林的迷霧

Get me up and high

我只想被偷走

Way back to phantom

Way back to phantom

帶上面具看透

我只想

Stay alive

Phantom

You can see the truth

So baby

我只想

繼續都是

我只相信

Way back to phantom

Phantom

眼神的熾熱

真相被透徹

永遠成為世界的荒謬

聽不見就

去尋找新的出口

無止境的

靈魂都會被解放

Oh, by you

你給予我對錯的待

True phantom

Way back to phantom

Way back to phantom

帶上面具看透

我只想

Stay alive

Phantom

You can see the truth

So baby

我只想

繼續都是

我只相信

Way back to phantom

Phantom

Way back to phantom

Way back to phantom

Way back to phantom

Key Grammar Structures

• 在時間的交界

  ➔ '的' (de) particle for possession/attribution

  ➔ '的' (de) is used to indicate a possessive or attributive relationship, similar to "'s" or "of" in English. Here, it connects "時間" (time) with "交界" (boundary), meaning "boundary of time".

• 噩夢分割的畫面

  ➔ '的' (de) particle connecting a verb phrase to a noun

  ➔ '的' (de) is used to turn a verb phrase (like "噩夢分割" - nightmare divides) into an adjective modifying the following noun ("畫面" - scene), meaning "the scene divided by nightmares" or "nightmare-divided scene".

• 我只想被偷走

  ➔ '被' (bèi) passive voice

  ➔ '被' (bèi) is a common particle used to form the passive voice, indicating that the subject is the recipient of the action. "被偷走" means "to be stolen away".

• 帶上面具看透

  ➔ Resultative complement '透' (tòu)

  ➔ '透' (tòu) acts as a resultative complement, indicating that an action (看 - to see) is completed thoroughly or seen through, implying understanding or revealing the truth.

• 我能看見

  ➔ Modal verb '能' (néng)

  ➔ '能' (néng) is a modal verb used to express ability, possibility, or permission, similar to "can" or "be able to" in English. "看見" means "to see/perceive".

• 卻的住台

  ➔ Potential complement '得' (de)

  ➔ The particle '得' (de) (often written as '的' in lyrics for poetic reasons or typo) is used as a potential complement after a verb, indicating that an action is possible or achievable. "住" means to stay or withstand, so "住得" (or "住的" as written) means "can stay" or "able to withstand/hold."

• 聽不見就

  ➔ Negative resultative complement '不見' and conditional '就' (jiù)

  ➔ '不見' (bù jiàn) is a negative resultative complement indicating the inability to perceive something (here, to hear). '就' (jiù) introduces a consequence or conclusion based on the preceding condition ("if [one] cannot hear, then...").
