[English]

Scattered moonlight

Pierces through the clouds

Avoiding the crowd

Forms the scales of the sea

Waves soak your white dress

Trying to push you back

Waves wash away the bloodstains

Hoping to warm you

Listen deep into the sea

Whose wail is guiding the way

Souls sink into silence

No one wakes you up

You love the salty breath of the sea breeze

Stepping on the wet gravel

You said people’s ashes should be scattered into the sea

You asked me where I’ll go after death

Will anyone love me

Can the world stop

Always forcing a smile for cold-hearted people

Shore people’s faces show indifference

No attachment to the human world

Everything scatters like smoke

Scattered moonlight

Pierces through the clouds

Avoiding the crowd

Slipping into the sea

Waves wash away the bloodstains

Hoping to warm you

Souls sink into silence

No one wakes you up

You love the salty breath of the sea breeze

Stepping on the wet gravel

You said people’s ashes should be scattered into the sea

You asked me where I’ll go after death

Will anyone love me

The world has already abandoned you

Always forcing a smile for cold-hearted people

Shore people’s faces show indifference

No attachment to the human world

Everything scatters like smoke

Too late, too late

You once cried with a smile

Too late, too late

Your trembling arms

Too late, too late

No one pulls you out

Too late, too late

You clearly hate suffocating

[Chinese]

散落的月光

穿過了雲

躲著人群

鋪成大海的鱗

海浪打濕白裙

試圖推你回去

海浪清洗了血跡

妄想溫暖你

往海的深處聽

誰的哀鳴在指引

靈魂沒入寂靜

無人將你吵醒

你喜歡海風鹹鹹的氣息

踩著濕濕的沙礫

你說人們的骨灰應該撒進海裡

你問我死後會去哪裡

有沒有人愛你

世界能否不再

總愛對涼薄的人扯著笑臉

岸上人們臉上都掛著無關

人間毫無留戀

一切散為煙

散落的月光

穿過了雲

躲著人群

溜進海裡

海浪清洗了血跡

妄想溫暖你

靈魂沒入寂靜

無人將你吵醒

你喜歡海風鹹鹹的氣息

踩著濕濕的沙礫

你說人們的骨灰應該撒進海裡

你問我死後會去哪裡

有沒有人愛你

世界已然將你拋棄

總愛對涼薄的人扯著笑臉

岸上人們臉上都掛著無關

人間毫無留戀

一切散為煙

來不及來不及

你曾笑著哭泣

來不及來不及

你顫抖的手臂

來不及來不及

無人將你打撈起

來不及來不及

你明明討厭窒息
