Pool 03:06
預備 各就各位 一二三 跳 跳進染缸 看誰先 游向慾望 膨脹 膨脹 再膨脹 就像那數字一樣 誰沒有信仰 誰沒有思想 誰沒有最便宜的酒來陪葬 一二三跳 跳進染缸 看誰先 游向慾望 遺忘 遺忘 再遺忘 就像我們記得的那樣 缸裡有夢想 缸底有爛帳 誰賠了信仰 誰對自己撒謊 誰喝著最便宜的酒去陪葬 一二三跳 跳進染缸 看誰先 游向慾望 可就連食色性也終將 游向死亡 游向死亡 於是砸了染缸 砸了染缸 才看見大海茫茫 而你我仍不知身在何方 Ready, on your mark: one, two, three, dive, into the pool Let’s see who swims first into desire swirls Swell, swelled and swollen Just like all those numbers stolen Nobody has no faith or mind of their own All with the cheapest wine at their tombstone One, two, three, dive, into the pool Let’s see who swims first into desire swirls Forget, forgot and forgotten Just like how we remembered Dream in the pool, scream from the bottom Who lost their faith, cheated themselves Shared the cheapest wine as they went to hell One, two, three, dive, into the pool Let’s see who swims first into desire swirls When all is said and done Swim, swim till there were none Then we smash the pool, smash the pool And see the wide sea as small fish without any school

Space 02:57
空間是一格半 誰也出不去(幾寸也不滿意) 思想是循環 溫飽思淫慾 真理就是沒真理 在成人之前 真想先成為自己 在世界毀滅之前 真想先毀滅自己 我向我看齊 於是一直往下去(沒人在看你) 萬物皆有靈 只是我太空虛 在成人之前 真想先成為自己 在世界毀滅之前 真想先毀滅自己 真理就是沒真理 那誰想聽 那誰想聽 A square and a half is not enough to squeeze out (no matter what width) Looping from lust to living safe and sound The truth is it doesn’t exist Wanna grow into myself before growing mellow Wanna let myself go before the world gets swallowed I walk on my own road, following my shadow (no eyes on you) All things have souls, but mine may be hollow Wanna grow into myself before growing mellow Wanna let myself go before the world gets swallowed If the truth doesn’t exist, who’d listen? Who’d want to know?

山裡面生了塊疤 疤裡面住了個人 人裡面破了個洞 洞裡是滿滿的 希望爛泥能開花 希望枯萎後長大 希望說謊也算話 希望有天能嚐 人與山隔了個洞 洞裡是滿滿的 滿滿的心願 滿滿的淚 滿滿的依戀 滿滿的錯覺 There was a scar in the mountain A scar that lived a human There was a hole in the human A hole that was wholly laden Hope the wimpish blooms And the withered blossoms Hope lies also count as a word And could be tasted later A hole parted the human and the mountain A hole that was wholly laden A hope full of beats An eye full of tears A love full of ties A pipe full of dreams

Interlude 00:55
6.
Daydream 03:44
我們把自由都交給彼此牽制著 誰也沒想過糟蹋它 我們把白日夢給連成一線吞著它 誰想過路那麼長 就讓我們嘲笑著悲傷再為彼此編一個夢 好讓回家的路更短 Our freedom is tangled together Neither’s thought to win it over We eat up the daydreams sewn into a string Who’s thought the road was so long Let’s mock sorrow, before weaving another dream So the road home would be shorter, for you and me
7.
Lie 03:52
看著窗外的光 分不清是路燈還是太陽 仔細搜索著自己的身體試著找出一道合理的傷 卻還是得說謊 築起了對快樂的心防 說什麼也放不下 從何時開始對悲劇的嚮往 填滿了整顆心臟 築起了對快樂的心防 說什麼也放不下 從何時開始對悲劇的嚮往 填滿了整顆心臟 看著窗外的光 分不清是路燈還是太陽 仔細搜索著自己的身體試著找出一道合理的傷 卻還是得說謊 Gazing at the light out the windows Is it the sunshine or lamppost Painstakingly searching my body for a wound that makes sense Yet found no real defense Built a wall to keep joy out No note changes the hook’s sound Since when did the longing to break apart Load up the whole heart

B 03:46
喝得再醉 太陽還是出來了 學姐她最後還是嫁了個王八 欸 交個朋友吧 欸 交個朋友吧 欸 交個朋友好嗎 能不能也分我點說剩的話 可惜啊 我不是你想找的那個藝術家 從來沒瀟灑 可恨啊 怎麼連菸跟酒都幫他 那到底是誰說的話 賺錢來花 吃屎來拉 把夢都留在昨天倒的那家網咖 欸 交個朋友吧 欸 交個朋友吧 欸 交個朋友好嗎 能不能也分我點說剩的話 欸 交個朋友吧 欸 交個朋友吧 欸 交個朋友好嗎 拜託你啦 就讓我哭給你們笑吧 哭給你們笑吧 哭給你們笑 Wasn’t drunk enough to stop the sun from rising That girl next door still married an S.O.B. Hey, let’s be friends Hey, let’s be friends Hey, let’s be friends, can we Could you share some leftover words with me Such a shame I’m not the artist you’re looking for, never had that swag Such a dread Smokes and booze only make him cool, who the heck said all that Cash earned spent, crap taken dumped Leave dreams in the closed Internet café’s stump Hey, let’s be friends Hey, let’s be friends Hey, let’s be friends, can we Could you share some leftover words with me Hey, let’s be friends Hey, let’s be friends Hey, let’s be friends, can we Come on, just let me cry for you to laugh Cry for you to laugh For you to laugh

Chang 03:39
抹上了一身的泥巴 以為能消失在山上 卻像個智障一樣 醉倒在柏油路上 還差一點 還差一點就把它抹上 還差一點 還差一點就不致於絕望 還差一點 就能跟他們都站在一起 還差一點 就能跟他們一起取笑我自己 Smeared mud all over to disappear into the hilly backdrop Yet like a fool, fell drunk on the asphalt Just a bit, a bit more to get it smeared Just a bit, a bit more to not despair Just a bit more, then I'd be standing with them Just a bit more, then I'd laugh at myself with them
10.
Shoot 03:12
生活空空盪盪 卻還是想著遺憾 緊擁著蹉跎 搖啊搖搖晃晃 只剩下祢還守著 戰死的每個浪漫 都拯救 你的從容 不斷放過自己 是為了誰 親手埋葬 一刻一顆 開呀開呀滿山惆悵 你不過是看透你沒有的瘋狂 寧願放過自己 是為了誰 親手埋葬 一刻一顆 生活空空盪盪 卻還是想著遺憾 緊擁著蹉跎 搖啊搖搖晃晃 只剩下祢還守著 請別留下我 也留下祢 親手埋葬 一刻一顆 A life that holds nothing Still holds regret Holds tightly what’s wasted Swing-oh-swing, sway ‘n’ sway Only You're left to defend Every whim that died in war Saves that peace of mind of yours For whom do you let yourself off constantly Bare hands burying each beat, each seed Shoot ‘n’ shoot, blow the hills into gloom You merely see through that madness you’re missing Who made you let yourself off constantly Bare hands burying each beat, each seed A life that holds nothing Still holds regret Holds tightly what’s wasted Swing-oh-swing, sway ‘n’ sway Only You're left to defend Please don't save me and save You Bare hands burying each beat, each seed

Damn 02:22
你說你不想在這裡 我也不想在這裡 但天黑得太快想走早就來不及 喔 我愛你 可惜關係變成沒關係 問題是沒問題 於是我們繼續 拿著筆想寫點東西 以為是武器能伸張正義 沒人理也沒關係 至少我還有你 至少我還有 你說你不想在這裡 我也不想在這裡 但天黑得太快想走早就來不及 喔我愛你 可惜關係變成沒關係 問題是沒問題 於是我們繼續 喔 我愛你 那些問題我都沒關係 但你離開了這裡 於是我們不再年輕 You said you don’t want to be here, me neither But dusk came too early, it’s too late to leave Oh, I love you, but relationship sailed into a sunken ship Not facing the problems in our grip We go on with the trip Want to pen down something Feel it’s mightier than a sword swinging Getting ignored is nothing At least I still have our thing At least I still have You said you don’t want to be here, me neither But dusk came too early, it’s too late to leave Oh, I love you, but relationship sailed into a sunken ship Not facing the problems in our grip We go on with the trip Oh, I love you, so I’m not tied up by those matters But you left here And our youth disappeared
