Step Aside – Bilingual Lyrics Chinese/English

• By: VERA

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

The hour hand follows the second hand, round and round it goes

All flesh and blood are scraped away by maturity

The world is in my mind

I’m ready to hit it now

Gotta take it right, take it right

The marks hidden in my heart

Let the story go on now

Let everything go, let me show you clearly

Who stands at the very top

So

You think you’re the best

You think you’re the best

Step aside

You think you’re the best

You think you’re the best

Step aside

You think you’re the best

You think you’re the best

Step aside

Who is the king and who is the slave?

Step aside

Step aside

Every night, every dream

All of it will come true, don’t be so surprised

Step aside

If you can’t stand firm, don’t pretend to be

That self-proclaimed art

Don’t resist, don’t resist

The whole territory belongs to me

Baby, why come here to gain nothing?

Cross the mountains, a shot of slick, affected talk

Cross the mountains, a shot of slick, affected talk

Shut up with your fake sincerity

I’ve never cared about it

I’m too lazy to argue with you

Darling, think carefully about every step

The marks hidden in my heart

Let the story go on now

Take everything back, let me show you clearly who stands at the very top

So

You think you’re the best

You think you’re the best

Step aside

You think you’re the best

You think you’re the best

Step aside

You think you’re the best

You think you’re the best

Step aside

Who is the king and who is the slave?

Step aside

The unforgettable one, my true love

He’s still here

Beating endlessly until the end of the soul

Beating endlessly until the end of the soul

An unstoppable roar

Need a little antidote

Only one goal

On top of the world

You think you’re important

I don’t need any of it

We coming

[Chinese]

時針跟著秒針一圈又一圈的跑

血與肉全被成熟給刮掉

The world is in my mind

I’m ready to hit it now

Gotta take it right, take it right

隱藏在心中的印記

Let the story go on now

全部放開讓你看清

誰站在最高峰

So

You think you’re the best

You think you’re the best

Step aside

You think you’re the best

You think you’re the best

Step aside

You think you’re the best

You think you’re the best

Step aside

誰是國王誰是奴隸

Step aside

Step aside

每一個夜每一個夢

所有全實現你別太驚訝

Step aside

站不住就別端在那邊

自以為的藝術

別抵抗 別抵抗

領土全歸我

Baby 何必來這裡一無所獲

越過山給一槍油腔滑調 做作

越過山給一槍油腔滑調 做作

Shut up虛情假意

我全沒在意過

才懶得跟你在那邊爭鬥

親愛的請你想好每個步驟

隱藏在心中的印記

Let the story go on now

全部收回讓你看清 誰站在最高峰

So

You think you’re the best

You think you’re the best

Step aside

You think you’re the best

You think you’re the best

Step aside

You think you’re the best

You think you’re the best

Step aside

誰是國王誰是奴隸

Step aside

不可能遺忘的本命

他還在呢

不停跳動直到靈魂的盡頭

不停跳動直到靈魂的盡頭

止不住的咆哮

需要一點解藥

只有一個目標

On top of the world

你以為你重要

全部都不需要

We coming
