[English]

Flesh撞向Love, shedding a shell of tears, can't earn an identity

Humans without Love, seem to be lower, mocked as bachelors

Echoes, only waiting again and again, I’m lucky

Tomorrow’s chance will arrive, miracles can always wait

God made me, should have made another, to care for me

God made me, this ornament, always attracted by someone

Searching for a sacred girl, that kiss

Fate never reveals itself, only becomes braver

Must accept that if it doesn’t come to me, it’s not meant to be, the jackpot’s still waiting to open

Love others desperately, only to be pushed away, but still worth the try

Born with flaws, pouring effort into nurturing, at least I entered the competition

No right to be loved by others, but I protect what I love

...

Latecomers are the younger generation, first to reach the shore, as if I’m just waiting alone

Others break me down, everyone judging, but everyone has someone to match

Sincerity wins, but it’s a deep wound, deep frustration

Even if I’m too dumb, I trust blindly, regardless of the setbacks

Must accept that if it doesn’t come to me, it’s not meant to be, the jackpot’s still waiting to open

Love others desperately, only to be pushed away, but still worth the try

Born with flaws, pouring effort into nurturing, at least I entered the competition

No right to be loved by others, but I protect what I love

...

Waiting for small happiness takes patience, I’m willing to smile and look forward to it

What’s coming is coming, even Heaven likes freaks

Born insufficient, if mocked, I won’t care

I trust that my future, when it comes, will be colorful, full of hope and blessings

Good intentions are often rejected, yet I believe in love, even in a losing game

God has no mercy, so people should love more

...

[Chinese]

凡人撞向愛 得一殼眼淚 得不到一個身份

凡人沒有愛 看似低一等 給恥笑叫做光棍

回音 唯有一等再等 我慶幸

明日機會蒞臨 神蹟總可以等

神明做了我 應該也製造 多一位給我關心

神明做了我 這個裝飾品 都總有個被吸引

尋找 神聖的小女生 那一吻

緣份總沒下文 唯有多點勇敢

始終必需接受未到我便未到我 信彩蛋最尾開

再拼命愛別人到別人也推開 試過還是精彩

先天不足努力地灌溉落力灌溉 至少參加比賽

無權利要別人愛 能維護我的所愛

遲來是晚輩 率先上了岸 仿佛只得我空等

旁人壞過我 個個都公審 都總有對象相襯

誠懇 贏回是重傷深深不忿

即使太笨 即管信任 不管滿佈挫折感

始終必需接受未到我便未到我 信彩蛋最尾開

再拼命愛別人到別人也推開 試過還是精彩

先天不足努力地灌溉落力灌溉 至少參加比賽

無權利要別人愛 能維護我的所愛

小幸福等得再耐 很願意笑著期待

來的自來 神都喜歡怪胎

天生不足要是被諷刺便被諷刺 我都不會理睬

我信任我未來到未來會開彩 載滿期望福袋

好心都給拒絕沒有愛亦奉信愛 縱必輸的比賽

神明未抱著憐愛 人們便更應該愛
