[English]

Yeah

城市的雨在哽咽

霓红的光在明灭

街灯照耀着行者的背影

谜样般的羽毛凌空盘旋不去

像传说信者恒信 Hey

我发现不明飞行物休

许多人凝视天空

却又当作什么也没发生

Yeah yeah 有股焑硝的气息

为何我听见心跳读秒的声音

仿佛发射台已准备好

大地颤抖按下钮

风切在狅啸

Yeah 如果纪录上从未被记载

Don’t be sad with it

你的自由就无法犯规

像神秘的不存在的信号

在雷达上划过一道燃烧

Can I be honest I so hate to be controlled

oh no no

飞行守则唯一条款

就是忘记所有条款

要爬升或者旋转

只相信自由意志的罗盘

无翼而飞

I’m ready for take off take off

朝向天外之外 Take off

无翼而飞

I’m ready for take off take off

朝向天外之外 Take off

驰骋是你与生的野性

你有抗拒重力的野心

你是倒外般的存在

So baby

朝向天外之外 Take off yeah

Oh oh

谁能驯服我飞上云霄

Oh oh

无翼而飞 I’m ready for take off

Talkin’bout

物竞天择为何灵魂饥饿起来

DNA 決定适者生存输者成仁

也许我渴望的美丽

已在地表上消失无踪

我将晄眺望向天空之城

Yeah 用力跳跃聚焦双臂举高

挥舞再咆哮有了高度

Yeah 和世界

我理解我的不被理解

So 让他们猎奇有人无须羽翼

Rock your world

灿烂的天体 Can be me and you

无翼而飞

I’m ready for take off take off

朝向天外之外 Take off

倒数的节拍向平凡 Say goodbye

朝向深邃的未来我们飞走

无翼而飞

• 像传说信者恒信 Hey

  ➔ 者...恒... (Classical-style Proverbial Structure)

  ➔ "者" acts like "those who" or "one who", turning the preceding verb into a noun-like entity. "恒" means "always" or "constantly". This structure gives a proverb-like or classical tone, meaning "those who believe will always believe."

• 许多人凝视天空 却又当作什么也没发生

  ➔ 却又 (Contradictory Conjunction)

  ➔ "却又" connects two clauses, indicating a contradictory or unexpected turn of events, often with a nuance of "and yet also." Here, it highlights the paradox of people seeing something but acting as if they didn't.

• Yeah 如果纪录上从未被记载 Don’t be sad with it 你的自由就无法犯规

  ➔ 如果...就... (Conditional Sentence) and 被 + Verb (Passive Voice)

  ➔ "如果...就..." forms a conditional sentence, expressing a hypothetical situation and its consequence. "被" is used to form the passive voice, indicating that the subject is receiving the action ("被记载" means "to be recorded").

• 飞行守则唯一条款 就是忘记所有条款

  ➔ 唯一...就是... (Stating a Unique Characteristic/Principle)

  ➔ This structure is used to state a unique characteristic or a singular defining principle. It sets up a statement where the first part identifies something as "the only one," and the second part defines what that "only one" is or entails.

  ➔ 与生... (Innate, Inherited)

• 你是倒外般的存在

• 我理解我的不被理解

  ➔ 不被 + Verb (Nominalized Negative Passive Voice)

  ➔ "不被 + 动词" forms a negative passive construction ("not to be V-ed"). When followed by "的," it nominalizes the phrase, turning it into a noun referring to the state of "not being understood." This demonstrates how a verb phrase can become a complex noun.
