Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

你可以看穿誰 泛黃的舊照片

Who can you see through, the yellowed old photos?

怎麼仔細看也看不出

No matter how closely you look, you can't tell

他當時候腦袋裡想的 是誰

Who he was thinking about back then

你想要看穿誰 誠懇卻又挑著眉

Who do you want to see through, sincere yet raising an eyebrow

說了三言兩語一字一句

Said a few words, each and every one

到頭來還是分不出 白或是黑

In the end, still can't distinguish between white or black

偏偏 人總是偏偏 用說謊做為最前線

Yet, people always tend to use lies as the front line

天天 像無止境的 發瘋似的假冒為仙

Every day, like an endless, mad imitation of a fairy

每個人 都會很習慣 碰見了人 先做表面

Everyone gets used to meeting people, putting on a facade first

每個人 都會不習慣 看見了人 真誠為先

Everyone is unaccustomed to seeing people, sincerity comes first

每個人 都會很習慣 面對了人 先做表面

Everyone gets used to facing people, putting on a facade first

每個人 都會不習慣 看見了人 真誠為先

Everyone is unaccustomed to seeing people, sincerity comes first

...

...

又想要看穿誰 有什麼新發現

Who else do you want to see through, any new discoveries?

就算你有多少百般論點

No matter how many arguments you have

卻也無法看穿是誰戴 假面

You still can't see who is wearing a false mask

低著頭看著鞋 乾乾淨淨沒殘缺

Looking down at my shoes, clean and flawless

躺在街頭路上才會發現

Only lying on the street will you realize

跨過我的每雙鞋底 層層污點

Stepping over the soles of my shoes, layers of stains

偏偏 人總是偏偏 看那華麗的超越一切

Yet, people always tend to look at that splendid transcendence

天天 像無止境的 發瘋似的走最高點

Every day, like an endless, mad rush to the highest point

每個人 都會很習慣 碰見了人 先做表面

Everyone gets used to meeting people, putting on a facade first

每個人 都會不習慣 看見了人 真誠為先

Everyone is unaccustomed to seeing people, sincerity comes first

每個人 都會很習慣 面對了人 先做表面

Everyone gets used to facing people, putting on a facade first

每個人 都會不習慣 看見了人 真誠為先

Everyone is unaccustomed to seeing people, sincerity comes first

...

...

每個人 都會很喜歡 東說西說 自我表現

Everyone likes to talk about this and that, self-expression

每個人 都會不喜歡 到處奔波 賺點小錢

Everyone dislikes running around, earning a little money

每個人 都會很喜歡 插了隊就 一步登天

Everyone likes to cut in line and rise to the top in one step

每個人 都會不喜歡 照著規矩 按步向前

Everyone dislikes following the rules, moving forward step by step

...
