歌词与翻译

[中文]

唯有失去时方知珍贵

挣扎求生仍需付出代价

亲爱的 它悄然从指缝间流走

如细沙般从你指间滑落

我仅存的温暖

曾紧紧攥在掌心

只为等待某天

某个与你眼眸相似的人

如水般将我温柔环抱

或如利刃将我刺穿

我们诞生于黑夜

生命中的大多时刻

不过是在黑暗中凿光前行

跋涉至此

最艰难的命题

恰是我们自身

这就是我们的模样

你我耗尽所有气力

追逐他人编织的幻梦

为何虚幻之物沉重如斯

却又轻若浮云？

亲爱的 我们献祭时光

将年华交付虚无承诺

这虚妄人生渐次清晰

却如刀锋愈磨愈利

我们诞生于黑夜

生命中的大多时刻

不过是在黑暗中凿光前行

跋涉至此

最艰难的命题

恰是我们自身

这就是我们的模样

...

唯有失去时方知珍贵

挣扎求生仍需付出代价

亲爱的 它悄然从指缝间流走

如细沙般从你指间滑落

...

[英语]

You only feel it when it's lost

Gettin' through still has a cost

Quietly, it slips through your fingers, love

Falling from you, drop by drop

What I had left here

I just held it tight

So someone with your eyes

Might come in time

To hold me like water

Or Christ, hold me like a knife

We're born at night

So much of our life

Is just carvin' through the dark

To get so far

And the hardest part

Is who we are

It's who we are

You and I burned out our steam

Chasing someone else's dream

How can somethin' be so much heavier

But so much less than what it seems?

Darling, we sacrificed

We gave our time to somethin' undefined

This phantom life sharpens like an image

But it sharpens like a knife

We're born at night

So much of our life

Is just carvin' through the dark

To get so far

And the hardest part

Is who we are

It's who we are

You only feel it when it's lost

Gettin' through still has its cost

Quietly, it slips through your fingers, love

Fallin' from you, drop by drop
