Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

怕跌碰怕痛楚

Afraid of falling and hurting myself

更怕 有哪個 會中傷我

More afraid of someone hurting me

怕説錯半句厭棄我麼

Afraid of saying the wrong thing and getting rejected

倒帶一看 只覺得很傻

Rewind and look back, I just feel so silly

輕一點 鬆一點 easy easy

Take it easy, loosen up, easy, easy

精一點 準一點 easy easy

Be precise, be accurate, easy, easy

Hey baby

Hey baby

Get ready

Get ready

Come and listen to my reflection

Come and listen to my reflection

瘡疤揭露

Scars revealed

子彈上好

Bullet prepared

可以的 拋棄一切裝飾

It’s okay to abandon all decorations

不再演老派角色 不 不要幫我分析

No longer playing old-school roles, no, don’t analyze me

顛覆角度

Flip the perspective

哪懼無路

No fear of dead ends

Keep going

Keep going

I'ma keep going

I'ma keep going

This is my reflection

This is my reflection

我撐撐撐過了漆黑

I’ve endured through the darkness

(Bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye)

(Bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye)

我跳跳跳過了抑鬱

I’ve jumped over depression

(Bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye)

(Bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye)

我放放放棄了不忿

I’ve let go of resentment

(Bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye)

(Bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye)

過去了就無謂被軟禁

Once gone, there's no point in being confined

一秒轉身

Turn around instantly

Reflection

Reflection

(Turn around, get on track Just follow how I feel)

(Turn around, get on track, just follow how I feel)

Reflection

Reflection

(Turn around, don't look back cuz it ain't a big deal)

(Turn around, don’t look back cause it ain’t a big deal)

Reflection

Reflection

(Turn around get on track Just follow how I feel girl)

(Turn around, get on track, just follow how I feel girl)

Reflection

Reflection

會錯過會退開

I might miss out or step back

更會 妥協了説句很愛

Even more, I might compromise and say I love you

會處處答允處處變改

I agree to everything and keep changing

彷彿聽教 先叫作天才

It’s like hearing advice, being called a genius first

方一點 尖一點 easy easy

Be sharper, more pointed, easy, easy

高一點 出一點 easy easy

Stand taller, step out more, easy, easy

Hey baby

Hey baby

Get ready

Get ready

Come and listen to my reflection

Come and listen to my reflection

瘡疤揭露

Scars revealed

子彈上好

Bullet prepared

重新地展出自己

Re-show myself

無須被畫框框起

No need to be framed

就這樣展出自己

Just show yourself like this

顛覆角度

Flip the perspective

哪懼無路

No fear of dead ends

It's my show

It’s my show

I decide how it goes

I decide how it goes

This is my reflection

This is my reflection

我撐撐撐過了漆黑

I’ve endured through the darkness

(Bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye)

(Bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye)

我跳跳跳過了抑鬱

I’ve jumped over depression

(Bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye)

(Bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye)

我放放放棄了不忿

I’ve let go of resentment

(Bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye)

(Bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye)

過去了就無謂被軟禁

Once gone, there's no point in being confined

一秒轉身

Turn around instantly

望鏡中

Look into the mirror

這位他

There he is

五官始終都似我

His features always look like mine

挫折中行過

Walking through setbacks

尚有點忘我

Still a bit lost in myself

It's still me but not me

It’s still me but not really me

Evolved from reflection

Evolved from reflection

Take my hand

Take my hand

Come with me

Come with me

Fly away, away from the bad old days

Fly away, away from the old dark days

...

...

我探探探過了天荒

I’ve explored through the vast sky

(Bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye)

(Bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye)

我殺殺殺破了不安

I’ve killed and broken through my fears

(Bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye)

(Bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye)

我變變變到更堅壯

I’ve changed to become stronger

(Bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye)

(Bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye)

過去了就無謂又探看

Gone, no more looking back

跟我遠闖

Let’s go far away

我撐撐撐過了漆黑

I’ve endured through the darkness

(Bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye)

(Bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye)

(I'm gonna Let it go)

(I’m gonna let it go)

我跳跳跳過了抑鬱

I’ve jumped over depression

(Bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye)

(Bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye)

(I'm gonna Let it go)

(I’m gonna let it go)

我放放放棄了不忿

I’ve released my grudges

(Bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye)

(Bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye)

(I'm gonna Let it go)

(I’m gonna let it go)

過去了就無謂被軟禁

Once it’s gone, there’s no point in being confined

一秒轉身

Turn around instantly

我鏡裡看見了新生

I see renewal in the mirror
