Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

hey 我不想避忌

hey I don't want to hold back

當越執著 越乏味

the more you cling, the more it gets dull

ey 要躺於綠地

ey let's lie on the green grass

找個pose 彰顯不羈

strike a pose, show off the free spirit

菲林沖洗絢爛時代

film developing, a brilliant era

新漂亮世紀

a new beautiful century

do you remember it now?

do you remember it now?

光 閃爍千種出奇

light flickers in a thousand wonders

青春哪用畏高

what's there to fear in youth?

陽台上獨舞

dancing alone on the balcony

無懼身軀增添黑色素

unafraid of adding melanin to my skin

ey 來愛上每個朝早

ey come love every morning

headphone鎖住了耳朵

headphones locked onto my ears

y2k還襯我麼?

does Y2K still suit me?

do you know, who I am?

do you know, who I am?

nah nah nah nah

nah nah nah nah

反鎖規條在被窩

rules locked in the blankets

框框真的很折磨

the constraints are really tormenting

do you know, who I am?

do you know, who I am?

nah nah nah nah

nah nah nah nah

NAH!

NAH!

you can define me doesn’t matter

you can define me, it doesn't matter

I’ll be the one my own trend setter 

I’ll be the one, my own trendsetter

Oakley NewJeans on my mind

Oakley NewJeans on my mind

Britney do it one more time

Britney do it one more time

人怎麼要守一個溫度

how can one maintain a certain temperature?

不必理早晚或遲早

no need to care about early or late

塗紅色 綠色 沒有譜

painted red, green, no score

想 想我怎麼打造

thinking, thinking about how to create

假使你亦畏高

if you also fear heights

懸崖上獨舞

dancing alone on the cliff

無謂追趕標榜的指數

no point in chasing after the trending index

ey 來印證你似瑰寶

ey come prove that you are like a treasure

headphone鎖住了耳朵

headphones locked onto my ears

y2k還襯我麼?

does Y2K still suit me?

Do you know, who I am?

do you know, who I am?

nah nah nah nah

nah nah nah nah

反鎖規條在被窩

rules locked in the blankets

框框真的很折磨

the constraints are really tormenting

do you know, who I am?

do you know, who I am?

nah nah nah nah

nah nah nah nah

NAH!

NAH!

唇膏 髮色 要悉心打理

lipstick, hair color, need to be well managed

light pink or ash grey?

light pink or ash grey?

難得這一個偏執古怪審美

rarely this one peculiar and quirky aesthetic

我仲有仲有無限出奇

I still have, still have infinite wonders

這套 襯了兩個星期

this outfit, has been matched for two weeks

這次 上鏡我懶去比

this time, I’m too lazy to compare for the camera

woo~~ so, what you gonna dress like?

woo~~ so, what you gonna dress like?

低腰今日著了麼

did you wear low-rise today?

街燈斑斕照我麼

do the streetlights colorfully shine on me?

do you know, who I am?

do you know, who I am?

nah nah nah nah

nah nah nah nah

相機解像有幾多

how much resolution does the camera have?

喜歡眼角很懶惰

like the lazy corners of my eyes

you don’t know, who I am?

you don’t know, who I am?

nah nah nah nah 

nah nah nah nah

NAH!

NAH!
