願暴露就暴露嗎

Would I expose myself if I want to expose?

貪不貪幾多的誘惑

Desiring, or just craving for temptation?

是欲望就欲望嗎

Is it just desire, or more than that?

他她牠它 該不該吻下

Him, her, it, should I kiss it all?

入洞穴入夜入世間

Entering caves, night, the worldly scene.

若命運就命運嗎

Is it fate, or just destined?

統統於光陰之間

All within the flow of time.

偷偷於身心之彎

Secretly in the bend of body and mind.

九層 靈魂逐層被試探

Nine layers, the soul tested step by step.

九樣 深呼吸的方法

Nine ways to breathe deeply.

九條 未來逐條在變卦 wow

Nine lines, the future changing one after another, wow.

What should I do?

What should I do?

一百年撩動我 三世石衝擊你

A hundred years stirring me, three lives impacting you.

What would you do?

What would you do?

九尾孤還在掙扎

The lonely nine-tail still struggling.

路直路斜 天天掙扎

Straight or crooked path, struggling every day.

天天當天一黑變作尾巴

Every day, turn darkness into a tail.

勾起尾巴 勾到什麼需要拋下

Lifting the tail, what must be abandoned?

勾起尾巴 勾到什麼吞了它

Lifting the tail, what to swallow?

摸摸尾巴 摸到自己一切複雜

Touching the tail, all my complexities revealed.

勾一切選擇

Lifting every choice.

是造物或是造化

於歡呼哭泣中誕下

Born amidst cheers and tears.

是獵食或是獵殺

Is it hunting or being hunted?

七色袈裟 於青丘脱下

Removing the seven-colored cloak in Qingqiu.

做壞事做夢做過嗎

Have you ever sinned or dreamed?

在活著就是代價

Living itself is the price.

即將於不測之間

On the verge of the unforeseen.

即將於不歸之彎

At the bend of no return.
