Grisly Me 01:57
我試過握著她的手 卻還是一樣寂寞 從沒想過 原來自己那麼醜陋 原來自己那麼醜陋 我說得像切身之痛 卻一直在退縮 從沒想過 原來自己那麼醜陋 原來自己那麼醜陋 I held her hands in mine, but still I felt lonely. Never thought that I could be so grisly. I finally realized I am indeed grisly. I grumbled about my sorrow, but did nothing actively. Never occurred to me that I could be so grisly. I finally realized I am indeed grisly.

Wimpish 02:29
噢多麼美麗的一顆心 怎麼會 怎麼會 就變成了一灘爛泥 噢多麼單純的一首詩 怎麼會 怎麼會 都變成了諷刺 我想要說的 前人們都說過了 我想要做的 有錢人都做過了 我想要的公平都是不公們虛構的 噢多麼乾淨的一幅畫 怎麼會 怎麼會 充滿了悲傷 噢多麼天真的一句話 怎麼會 怎麼會 像噩夢一樣 Oh, what a beautiful mind! But how did it turn into a pile of mud? Oh, what a simple melody! But how did it turn into a parody? What I want to say has been said by the old and wise, What I want to do has been done by the rich and famous, The justice I seek is a myth conjured up by the injustice. What an elegant painting! But why is it full of pain? What an innocent phrase! But why is it like a curse?

又忍著失望的不解的痛恨的 又只用空瓶把今天砸碎 然後又哭著對離開了自己的影子道歉 別氣了沒有誰在跟你作對 別哭了沒有誰會心碎 沒有勇敢的人 勇敢的人 賣光了一切 你的肝和你的肺 他們扔了你的世界 去成為更好的人類 那廉價的眼淚就別掛在嘴邊 什麼也沒改變 什麼也不改變 請別舉起手槍 這裡沒有反抗的人 不用再圍牆 這裡沒有反抗的人 反抗的人 所謂的過生活 一輩子他都在躲 一直在躲一直在躲 沒有出口沒有出口 Once again, I swallowed my disappointment, distrust and disgust, And smashed the day with empty bottles. Once again, I wept and apologized to my shadow, Who left me due to my lack of zest. Stop your anger, there’s no one to rage against. Cease your tears, there’s no one to share your unrest. We are the reluctant. We never knew how to protest. We’ve sold everything we have, even lungs and livers. But they left our world to pursue something better. Wipe away those tears you’ve been moaning about forever. Because nothing changes when you don’t even lift a finger. Please don’t raise your weapon. There is no protestor. Stop building walls. There is no protestor. There is no protestor. We’ve sold everything we have, even lungs and livers. (That’s what we call life.) But they left our world to pursue something better. (We keep evading the problems.) Wipe away those tears you’ve been moaning about forever. (We keep hiding from the realities.) Because nothing changes when you don’t even lift a finger. (Every exit leads to a dead end.)

Simon Says 03:56
大風吹著誰 誰就倒楣 每個人都想當鬼 都一樣的下賤 哭啊 喊啊(哭鬧讓媽媽帶你去買) 叫你媽媽帶你去買玩具啊 快 快拿到學校炫耀吧 孩子 交點朋友吧 哎呀呀 你看你手上拿的是什麼啊 那東西我們早就不屑啦 哈哈哈 哈 一樣又醉了 一樣又掉眼淚 一樣的屈辱 一樣的感覺 怪罪給時間 它給了起點 怪罪給時間 它給了終點 Do what Simon says, or you’ll lose the game. Everyone wants to give orders and enjoy the cheap fame. Cry and shout so Mom will take you to buy a toy. Go, run to school and make some friends, my boy. Look at that thing in your hand! Don’t you know it’s already outdated? Same old booze again, same old tears, Same old shame again, same old pain. Blame it on time; it started everything. Blame it on time; it ended everything.

Emma 03:21
歌唱著一種沒有深度的語言 試著跟著這些虛偽一起改變 改變 妳笑著說我所擁有的一切 也都是虛偽 妳笑著說我所有的謊言 活不過明天 交換著一種不負責任的畫面 試著跟著這些標籤一起改變 改變 I sing with shallow verses. I change with all the hypocrisy. Hypocrisy… You laugh at me, saying all I have is a deceitful display. You laugh at me, saying all my lies won’t live through today. We exchange careless fables. We change with all the labels. Labels…

Await 02:35
我在等的那部車呢 它會不會又拋錨了 我在等的那個人呢 祂會不會又不來了 I’ll wait, I’ll wait, I’ll keep on waiting. I’ll wait, I’ll wait, I’ll wait for nothing. 你在等的那部車呢 它會不會也拋錨了 你在等的那個人呢 祂會不會也不來了 You’ll wait, you’ll wait, you’ll keep on waiting. You’ll wait, you’ll wait, you’ll wait for nothing. Where’s the bus I’m waiting for? Will it break down again? Where’s the person I’m waiting for? Will He stand me up again? I’ll wait, I’ll wait, I’ll keep on waiting. I’ll wait, I’ll wait, I’ll wait for nothing. Where’s the bus you’re waiting for? Will it break down, too? Where’s the person you’re waiting for? Will He stand you up, too? You’ll wait, you’ll wait, you’ll keep on waiting. You’ll wait, you’ll wait, you’ll wait for nothing.

The Specter 02:40
從沒想過要傷害誰 對一切也都感到抱歉 可是我的自卑勝過了一切愛我的 於是我把愛人們都殺死了 可是你的傷悲勝過了一切愛你的 於是你把我給殺死了 為了什麼而流著血 是為了誰而流眼淚 我躲在夜裡取笑著黑 因為沒有人能殺死鬼 是為了什麼而流著血 是為了誰而流眼淚 我躲在夜裡取笑著黑 因為沒有人能殺死鬼 I never wanted to hurt anybody. And I’m sorry for everything I did. But those who love me can’t cure my insecurity. So I killed them all. But those who love you can’t fix your melancholy. So you killed me. What do I bleed for? Whom do I cry for? I hide in the night and laugh at the dark. Because no one can kill a specter. What do I bleed for? Whom do I cry for? I hide in the night and laugh at the dark. Because no one can kill a specter.

Am For You 04:40
一樣的天空 卻還是只有錯過 一樣的歌 還是唱著他多愛她 一樣快死心 一樣爛的劇情 卻還是期待著 她嘴裡那句我愛你 她說 去你媽的花海 我說 妳這麼說好帥 她說 要把它們都打敗 我說 我會一直都在 我會一直都 在路燈下 遇見了很像妳的她 我沒有說話 就算說了也是謊 沒差 我想都一樣吧 至少 她嘴裡那句我愛你 她說 去你媽的花海 我說 妳這麼說好帥 她說 要把它們都打敗 我說 我會一直都在 我會一直都 We walk under the same sky but keep on missing each other. We sing the same songs, about one’s passion for his lover. We give up easily and suffer from the tedious fever. Still I want to hear her say “I love you” more than ever. She said, fuck the ocean of flowers. I said, you’re so badass when you say that. She said, we’ll defeat them all for sure. I said, I’ll always be here for you. I’ll always be here for you. Under the streetlight, I met a girl much like you. I didn’t say anything. Whatever I did say wouldn’t be true. Well, I guess it’s all the same to me and you. Anyways, she’s the one who said I love you. She said, fuck the ocean of flowers. I said, you’re so badass when you say that. She said, we’ll defeat them all for sure. I said, I’ll always be here for you. I’ll always be here for you.

Wayfarer 04:11
我看著 天真的我自己 出現在 沒有我的故事裡 等待著 我的回應 一個為何至此 的原因 他明白 他明白 我給不起 於是轉身向山裡走去 他明白 他明白 我給不起 於是轉身向大海走去 我聽見那少年的聲音 在還有未來的過去 渴望著 美好結局 卻沒能成為自己 他明白 他明白 我給不起 於是轉身向山裡走去 他明白 他明白 我給不起 於是轉身向大海走去 I look at myself, at the young and innocent face. He belongs to my past, from which I’ve vanished without a trace. He waits for me, for my answer, A reason why I am now here. He knows, he knows, I have no answer. So he turns and walks towards the mountains. He knows, he knows, I have no answer. So he turns and walks towards the oceans. I hear his voice from the past, when there was still a future. He longs for something better. But what he sees is not himself in the mirror. He knows, he knows, I have no answer. So he turns and walks towards the mountains. He knows, he knows, I have no answer. So he turns and walks towards the oceans.

Us 03:38
我們在原野上找一面牆 我們在標籤裡找方向 我們在廢墟般的垃圾裡找一塊紅磚 我們在工整的巷子裡找家 找家 找 我們義無反顧的試著後悔 我們聲嘶力竭的假裝吶喊 我們萬分惋惜的浪費著 用盡一切換來的紙張 用盡一切換來的紙張 用盡一切 We look for a wall in the wilderness. We look for a direction in nothingness. We look for a red brick in garbage and ruins. We look for a home in tidy lanes. We want a home, so we keep looking. We try to regret with nothing left to lose. We pretend to shout with cracking voices. We continue to waste with much remorse, All the paper we give up everything for. All the paper we give up everything for, Everything.

別再說讓它去吧 別再說讓它去吧 別再說讓它去吧 別再說讓它去吧 殺了它 順便殺了我 拜託你了 殺了它 順便殺了我 拜託你了 你說是夢所以才痛 睡醒了再說 但那挫折和恐懼依舊 但那挫折和恐懼依舊 我把故鄉給賣了 愛人給騙了 但那挫折和恐懼依舊 但那挫折和恐懼依舊 殺了它 順便殺了我 拜託你了 殺了它 順便殺了我 拜託你了 Stop saying: let bygones be bygones. Stop saying: let bygones be bygones. Kill the nightmares, and kill me, too. I beg you to. Kill the nightmares, and kill me, too. I beg you to. You said pains are dreams so I’ll wake up feeling better. But my frustration and fear persist. They persist… I betrayed my hometown and deceived my lover. But my frustration and fear persist. They persist… Kill the nightmares, and kill me, too. I beg you to. Kill the nightmares, and kill me, too. I beg you to.
