[English]

Dust rises, a dream in my memory, the person in the photo, their pupils once held me

Closing the past, dreams become rivers, already nourishing the pulse of reality beside me

Life comes to the window, without a word, and takes us away

Who is trapped by love, who sacrifices for love, who is more profound than whom?

Back then, I reached out my hand without hesitation, mistaking a glimpse of a shape for the universe

Sweet habits become life, only then do I understand what

Now the story unfolds and makes me who I am, learning to live and enjoy loneliness

Violent words become gentle, and what do they bring?

If I hadn't walked this path, how would I understand?

...

Past events flutter by, sometimes searing my eyes, those hurtful lines now sound lighthearted

My mind has calmed, sometimes I just laugh it off, the way I am now, still the wind when I meet the wind

Life blows past me, without a word, etched into the lines of my palm

Squandering fate, seeing through the scenery, I understand deeply

Back then, I reached out my hand without hesitation, mistaking a glimpse of a shape for the universe

Sweet habits become life, only then do I understand what

Now the story unfolds and makes me who I am, learning to live and enjoy loneliness

Violent words become gentle, and what do they bring?

If I hadn't walked this path, how would I understand?

Back then, I reached out my hand without hesitation, mistaking a glimpse of a shape for the universe

Sweet habits become life, only then do I understand what

Now the story unfolds and makes me who I am, learning to live and enjoy loneliness

Violent words become gentle, and what do they bring?

If I hadn't walked this path, how would I understand?

[Chinese]

揚起了灰塵 回憶裡一場夢 那照片裡的人 瞳孔曾住著我

闔上了過往 夢境活成河流 已滋潤了身旁 真實中的脈搏

生命來到窗前 不吭一聲 拎走了我們

誰為情所困 誰為愛犧牲 誰比誰深刻

當時奮不顧身伸出我的手 看見了輪廓就當作宇宙

甜美的習慣變成生活 才了解了什麼

如今故事發展成就一個我 學會了生活能享受寂寞

劇烈的語言變成溫柔 又帶來了什麼

若是不曾走過 怎麼懂

翻飛了往事 有時灼傷眼眸 那傷人的台詞 現在聽來輕鬆

平息了心思 有時一笑而過 我此刻的樣子 見風仍然是風

生命吹過面前 不吭一聲 劃成了掌紋

揮霍了緣份 看透了景色 我懂得深刻

當時奮不顧身伸出我的手 看見了輪廓就當作宇宙

甜美的習慣變成生活 才了解了什麼

如今故事發展成就一個我 學會了生活能享受寂寞

劇烈的語言變成溫柔 又帶來了什麼

若是不曾走過 怎麼懂

當時奮不顧身伸出我的手 看見了輪廓就當作宇宙

甜美的習慣變成生活 才了解了什麼

如今故事發展成就一個我 學會了生活能享受寂寞

劇烈的語言變成溫柔 又帶來了什麼

若是不曾走過 怎麼懂
