Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

拼搏再苦幹

Keep fighting even when it’s tough

太過壓抑了

Feeling overwhelmed and suffocated

我便沉默

I fall silent

未及抽離回望

Before I could step back and look again

強者怎可以說不安

How can a strong person say they’re uneasy

勉強帶過一切狀況

Forcing myself to move past all the situations

數百個心結

Hundreds of unresolved feelings

繼續搖盪

Keep on swaying

日夜交纏探看

Day and night intertwined, I search and wonder

我不懂講出口

I don’t know how to speak it out

卻早察覺答案

But I’ve already sensed the answer

其實我認我怕

Actually, I realize I’m afraid

怕説了變得更差

Afraid that saying it will make things worse

無論愛或抱歉

No matter love or apologies

怕你總覺得太虛假

Fearing you’ll always think it’s too fake

決意面對了

I’ve decided to face it

至發覺言詞成為破冰的密碼

Until I realize words become the key to break the ice

由衷的擁抱過

I sincerely embrace

情緒分解 你我都

Unraveling emotions, both you and I

進化

Transforming and evolving

記掛我兩三歲

Thinking back to when I was two or three

愛與痛說出口

Loving and feeling pain, I speak it out

這樣無懼

With this, I feel fearless

自在坦然應對

Facing everything calmly and freely

孩童望痛苦很瑣碎

To a child, pain seems so small

流走都不過眼水

It just flows away as mere tears

其實我認我怕

Actually, I realize I’m afraid

怕説了變得更差

Afraid that speaking out will make it worse

無論愛或抱歉

Whether it’s love or apologies

怕你總覺得太虛假

Fear that you’ll always see it as too fake

決意面對了

I’ve made up my mind to face it

至發覺言詞成為破冰的密碼

Until words become the secret to breaking the ice

由衷的擁抱過

Genuinely embraced

情緒分解 你我都

Unraveling feelings, both you and I

進化

Evolving together

唯獨這麼

Only this much

三個字

Three words

撈起我

Lift me up

原諒我當初

Forgive me for back then

竟這麼怯懦

For being so cowardly

用心的傾吐

Honestly pouring out my heart

是這樣柔和

It’s so gentle this way

傾出我

Revealing myself

曾是我被嚇怕

Once, I was frightened

怕痛處永不結疤

Afraid that pain will never heal

還是怕被看透

Or still afraid of being seen through

看透心裏一切偏差

Seeing through all my inner flaws

到隔膜碎了

Until the barrier shatters

卻發覺人原來能連繫及昇華

But then I realize we can connect and elevate

由衷的擁抱過

Genuine embrace

情緒分解 你我都

Unraveling feelings, both you and I

進化

Evolving together
