Today, hen teacher will teach everyone how to fly
Look at how I’m doing it, this way you can dodge the eagle’s attack

Little chicks go zhazhajiji (sound of chirping), discussing at length; Teacher, may we ask, what’s an eagle?
Dummy, it’s basically a very big, very violent chicken. Is it more violent than me? Look at my punch!

Hen teacher realizes that shaving their feathers is popular among the chicks
They shave both sides; hen angrily says:
If there’s danger, how will you fly, how will you escape? Chicks impatiently say:

Why is what you say correct, do you have any evidence to back up what you say?
Why is what you do correct, could it be that you’ve eaten more rice than me?

Hen felt disheartened, so she resolved to change herself
Studiously build up her self confidence, become a star, put out a CD

Oh crap, the eagle figured out when school lets out, with a screech it dived out of the sky
But the chicks had already shaved both sides, no one had feathers, no one could escape

Receive a ransom phone call, without money the hostages will be killed
Hen teacher decides to rescue the chicks on her own
Brought weapons and all the feed, no fear of the danger

Sneakily crawl up to the eagle’s nest, head towards the sound of chicks sobbing
Oh no, the eagle caught her dead to rights, it stared with its big eyes and yelled:

I’m your fan, I have your CD
I’ve been to all your shows, please give me an autograph
Thus the eagle left completely satisfied, the chicks reverently said:

Incredibly, everything you said was correct; I’m sorry; please forgive and accept my past
Incredibly, everything you did was right, did not discern that your every action had a motivation

Faraway stars fall, ding dong
Toward the wild plains of another place
Open eyes, capture a flash of light

In dreams, construct a hundred labyrinths
The season walks forward, weaving me
Sealing me within a soft white cell

Want to break free, because I was hesitant before
Hasten the birth of a new me

A strand, a millimeter, a centimeter forward
Surreal world just like a forest
Unable to pass through the mountain peak’s rain

Wind comes, wind goes, wind is chanting
Time brings great changes, but no longer than a lifespan
Cannot recite time’s poetic verse

The last time, one more time
Go listen
Fly over here, bury it in
Metamorphose

Eternity
Extinguished
The butterfly

Without sight
Look back
Without words

Hallucination
Annihilation
The butterfly
At the end
Fly away
Fly far

Camellia flower’s thick leaves embrace her, keeping her warm
Camellia flower rolled inside the bud, hiding her bashful face
Gentle wind caressing her
Gaze at morning mist, smile upon sunset clouds
These mountains and rivers culminate in her stamen, slowly alchemize

By mountain streams, grow up bathing in sunlight
She’s swaying and dancing in the wind
Blooming into white blossoms by the cliff
She’s stirring up the fragrant soil

After the rain, talk to rainbows
Wind blows dry the dewdrops on her cheeks
Unfolding the painting of autumn
Even if the season is changing, why worry?

Camellia flower dreams of a pair of wings, let’s take flight tonight
As the first snow drifts down, camellia flower’s petals fly away on the wind

The wind blows her hair into disarray
It also pulls her shadow apart
Really wish it would take me along too
I don’t care if it’s only to idle time away
She says there’s a treasure in my heart
No matter what, don’t let it be destroyed
Since I fly with the wind
I don’t need to let my feet touch the ground

The wind blows
Time go back
Look, look
All the things from the past are here
The big world, does it dazzle the eyes?
It’s just, it’s just that I
Can’t ever find you again

The wind blows wrinkles into her hand
Still wish she would hold my hand for a slow walk
Walk into warm, golden-hued old days
Back then I feared neither heaven nor earth

The wind blows
Time go back
Look, look
All the things from the past are here
The big world, I’ll go there too
Wait, wait
After I’ve walked this path I’ll come

I’m still drinking her jasmine tea
I’m still singing the songs she listened to
Until her inexplicable worries become mine
Her kindness also becomes mine

The wind blows
The wind blows
Would you travel day and night
Brave the wind and waves to come into my dreams?

The wind blows my hair into disarray
I know you’re here
The next time I see you in the spring light
Please don’t leave me behind again

Would you travel day and night
Brave the wind and waves to come into my dreams?

It’s 3 in the afternoon
I’m lying in an unfamiliar room
My journey on this planet is about to end
The doctor says maybe next season

This letter contains many characters
Right now you might not know all of them
Once you reach fourth grade, you can probably understand it
Even if you can’t understand it, you can’t ask your mom
Because what’s below is a conversation between 2 men

Grades don’t need to be too good, but you have to stick with drawing
If you really like music, then you should give it a shot
Don’t listen to those old fogeys, don’t become a boring person
You like to eat and that’s great, but don’t get too fat

You can call me Jake, Jake
You can also call me Peter, Peter
We don’t ever need to stick to those formalities
After all, we’re friends

You should be optimistic, interesting, kind
You should learn how to cook your own meals
You should quickly grow up to be a real man
At the same time don’t forget to take care of your skin

You ought to have inherited my baldness
But fortunately your dad is extremely hairy
Hope you aren’t like my son
Turned into a shuttlecock at 20
Everybody on the street could recognize him

You can start dating a little early, I think 17 is perfect
When you get in and out of cars, you should open doors; on rainy days bring a big umbrella
In your spare time, prepare some jokes; as much as possible, treat people out to eat
This is some of my experience, hope it can be of some help to you

You can call me Jake, Jake
You can also call me Peter, Peter
You can use any of the names in this world to address me
Just don’t call me waigong

You should be optimistic, interesting, kind
You should learn how to cook your own meals
You should quickly grow up to be a real man
At the same time don’t forget to take care of your skin

There’s one more thing I must ask of you
You have to promise me
You must take care of her
My daughter
My most beloved, precious little daughter
Got it?

What should you call me? Jake!
What can you call me? Peter!
We don’t ever need to stick to those formalities
After all, we’re friends
You should call me Jake, Jake!
You should call me Peter, Peter!
You can use any of the names in this world to address me
Just don’t call me waigong

You should be optimistic, interesting, kind
You should learn how to cook your own meals
You should quickly grow up to be a real man
At the same time don’t forget to take care of your skin

You can use any of the names in this world to address me
Just don’t call me waigong again

In my distant memory, there was a long-forgotten poem, it went like this
Courtyard abrim with flowers and trees, on the outside a small, fragrant path
Side by side for four seasons, cut paper together on sunny days

When I was very very little, there was once a siheyuan (enclosed courtyard compound)
There lived myself and Nainai, along with a colorful cat
Back then, the small courtyard was full of flowers, underneath the stairs was green grass
My tiny hands held a book of 300 Tang and Song Dynasty poems

Nainai would teach me how to recite them, "white goose cranes its neck toward heaven and sings"
Once the sun was bright, she’d also teach me paper cutting
That’s the most unforgettable part of my past, it often appears in my dreams
So afterwards when I learned how to write, I wrote this poem

Courtyard abrim with flowers and trees, on the outside a small, fragrant path
Side by side for four seasons, cut paper together on sunny days

I’ve never understood your sense of humor
So I stay silent, don’t speak much, rarely open my mouth, awkwardly smile
I’ve never understood your sense of humor
So I act aloof, it’s not like I haven’t said it before, you just can’t seem to understand

I’ve never appreciated your sense of humor, not even once
You desperately try to amuse me, act like a clown
Stop trying to amuse me, don’t think about changing me, while I still treat you as a friend
I’ve never appreciated your sense of humor, now and forever
Your remarks go too far, make jokes turn into nightmares
Stop following me, don’t think about persuading me, makes it difficult for both of us

I’ve never understood your sense of humor
So I dodge, keep a poker face, lower my head, don’t make eye contact
I’ve never understood your sense of humor
I just don’t get it, we’re clearly the same sign, why is there such a difference?

I’ve never understood your sense of humor

We aren’t named Xiaojuan
Pseudonym is our last line of defense
News about society, sensationalized headlines
Photos with both eyes pixelated

Nightingale becomes mute, you all put in a lot of effort
Those who dare to disobey, they're always being punished
By fist, by gasoline, by sulfuric acid
By head-shaving, by glares, by keyboards

At the end, how will we be recorded by you?
Quarrel, traitor, demon, whore, frequent prostitutes, commit adultery, prostitute, prostitute, slave
Deceive, greedy, sycophantic, absurd, play, resent, hinder, jealousy, envy
Contempt on display, embed into skulls

Hide my name, forget my name
The same tragedy keeps getting acted out
Imprison my body, sever my tongue
Silently embroider my tears into silks and satins

Oh~~~
Flush into the sewer, from the bridal chamber sink into the riverbed
Stuff full the suitcase, store in the balcony freezer
In the school, in the factory, by the side of the road
The “good place” chosen by the one who shares your bed

At the end, how will you subdue us?
Quarrel, traitor, demon, whore, frequent prostitutes, commit adultery, prostitute, prostitute, slave
Deceive, greedy, sycophantic, absurd, play, resent, hinder, jealousy, envy
Spirit circumcised, merge into blood and bone

Hide my name, forget my name
The same tragedy keeps getting acted out
Imprison my body, sever my tongue
Silently embroider my tears into silks and satins

Oh~~~
We aren’t named Xiaojuan
Pseudonym is the last dignity we get
Over tea and meals, topics to idly chat about
Quickly toss them to the side

Know my name, remember my name
The same tragedy, when will it finally stop?
Lay my body to rest, smoothen my brow
Silently use tears to wipe clean my gravestone

Know my name, remember my name
The same tragedy, why does it continue?
Bury my beautiful dream, sew up my spirit
Silently use tears to inscribe my gravestone
Oh~~~

It’s time to attend the masquerade ball
Use a mask to cover your face
Look upon the center of the dance floor
Release your inner fantasy

It’s time to attend the masquerade ball
Dress hems rise up in the midst of desire
She's the star of tonight
Until she completely exhausts her strength

It’s time to attend the masquerade ball
Just spin in solitude like this
Burn up all my frenzy
Lose sight of the way to happiness

It’s time to leave the masquerade ball
Strangers start to get weary
You try to change your steps
But there are no more familiar dances

It’s time to leave the masquerade ball
There’s a person in the corner sobbing
She doesn’t have pretty dance shoes
And no way to close her eyes

It’s time to leave the masquerade ball
Go search for the vast lake
Over there is the tranquil lake surface
Can see myself in the reflection
Where’s the tranquil lake surface
Where I can see myself in reflection?

We're all infected by the virus
No one needs a face mask anymore
In February of early spring, on the grass
We hold a farewell gathering

Fine wine and delicacies have already been prepared
And we can't do without music
From the accordion's keys flow
An elegant viral waltz

We smile and look at each other
We hold each other and delicately start the dance
Go towards the front (there's really no front)
Glide into effortless, graceful dance steps

In my heart, spring's flowers bloom
I wait for my sparrow to slowly come home
Frog by the river, it goes gugua gugua
Look beneath the grass and lotus leaves

Clouds on the horizon keep growing and growing
Just like cotton candy, I want to eat them up
Hibernating people once again start to go jiji and zhazha
You see, spring is back, how did it come back?

Clouds on the horizon keep growing and growing
Just like cotton candy, I want to eat them up
Hibernating people one again start to go jiji and zhazha
You see, spring is back, how did it come back?

Check out spring's hundred flower fragrances (lang li ge lang li ge lang li ge lang)
Check out spring's hundred flower fragrances (lang li ge lang li ge lang li ge lang)
Check out spring's hundred flower fragrances (get spruced up and go find some girls)
That's beng beng guang guang dang dang bang bang guang guang (sound of cooking with wok)

Spring returns, little sparrows fly back from the south
Spring returns, peach blossoms, apricot blossoms, pear blossoms all bloom; little bees also come out to collect nectar
Spring has returned, the spring wind blows (it goes huhu), the spring rain falls (it goes shasha)
Little grasses become green, willow tree grows soft sprouts, willow tree grows soft sprouts

What is this song called? It's called Spring Returns!
What is this song called? It's called Spring Returns!

I like the sun of a mild winter
I like the first grass of spring
I like the courtyard in the afternoon and the idle swings to the side
I like midsummer's slushies
I like a clear autumn night’s bright moon
A pleasant evening sky, full of stars

I like the frogs that appear after the rain
I like the apricot flowers in front of the mountain
I like dusk on Wednesday, the twilight-kissed aquarium
I like the flocks of wild ducks
I like disorderly bookshelves
Cool breeze on the balcony, sea of lights in the distance

I like walking on Highway 96 when there are no people around
I like Takuya Kimura's long locks
I like the deer sprinting on boundless fields
I like the banyan tree in front of Grandma's house

I like Mom's lunch box
I like Dad's stubble
I like the amusement park that's still open in the August evening
I like the bell that signals the end of school
I like when the power goes out a night
Light a pair of candles in the quiet vestibule

I like the distant green hills seen from the edge of town
I like the hot air balloons flying in the western sky
I like the cobblestone road in the early morning
Steam-emitting breakfast diners, Ah Gong's osmanthus cake
I like every evening cloud, every green tree

I like you
You ought to know already
I like you
You ought to know already

The world is so big, why did we meet? Could it be we’re siblings? Could it be we’re related?

Today is February 14th, the legendary Valentine’s Day
All the couples on the street will celebrate the holiday today
Usually roses sell for 2 bucks each
Tonight it’s 10 times that, girls will still grin from ear to ear

Today is February 14th, the legendary Valentine’s Day
I'm going to go home and be alone, nothing better to do than read a book and eat instant noodles
But some numbskull on QQ asks me, why am I still alone
I couldn’t help but shout back this cordial response

I wish that all the lovers in the world are siblings that have been separated for many years
I wish that all the movie theaters and restaurants have no seats
I wish that all the lovers in the world are siblings that have been separated for many years
No matter if it’s Motel 168, Home Inn, 7 Days Inn, or Hanting, it’s impossible to reserve a bed

Go and celebrate your Valentine’s Day, apricot flowers extend over the wall (metaphor for affair)
Go and celebrate your Valentine’s Day, what to do about accidental pregnancy?
Go and celebrate your Valentine’s Day, apricot flowers extend over the wall (metaphor for affair)
Go and celebrate your Valentine’s Day, what to do about accidental pregnancy?

It’s not that I’m careless, it’s just that true love is hard to resist
It’s not that I harbored intentions, it’s just that I couldn’t guard myself

I wish that all the lovers in the world are siblings that have been separated for many years
I wish that all the movie theaters and restaurants have no seats
I wish that all the lovers in the world are siblings that have been separated for many years
No matter if it’s Motel 168, Home Inn, 7 Days Inn, Hanting, Super 8, Holiday Inn, WeHotel, Greentree, or Crystal Orange, it’s impossible to reserve a bed

Go and celebrate your Valentine’s Day, apricot flowers extend over the wall (metaphor for affair)
Go and celebrate your Valentine’s Day, what to do about accidental pregnancy?

If I knew I’d be staying at home so long
I wouldn’t just buy two packs of Red Lanzhou
If I knew the village roads would be blocked
I should’ve spent more time with the honeys

If I knew I’d be staying at home so long
I wouldn’t have bought a new outfit during spring festival
If I knew the village roads would be blocked
I shouldn’t have rented a car to go home and pretend to be rich

If I knew I’d be staying at home so long
I shouldn’t have given my mahjong set to a friend
If I knew the village roads would be blocked
I would fill a barrel full of liquor

If I knew I’d be staying at home so long
I wouldn’t have spent 500 on a perm
If I knew the village roads would be blocked
I should’ve taken a girl out to party hard

Ever since the day I started forming memories
I’ve lived like a damn good-for-nothing
Suck at studying, can’t win at fighting
Tell me what I’m supposed to do
I go home, old man tells me
You gotta study hard, be an upright person
If you’ve got nothing better to do, watch the news, pay attention to national issues
When you graduate, take the civil service exam
After returning to my room, I thought it over
Can’t help but feel that this isn’t appropriate
I’m an artsy dude, why become a civil servant?
I’ve got a dream I want to achieve
Fast forward 20-some years, graduated from college
Then I found out the ground is covered with artsy dudes
I can only take up my guitar, bravely face life
In my heart, quietly say to myself

My youth is gone, it took away my childhood
Think back to my early days, we caught long-horned beetles in willow trees and fought
My youth is gone, it can’t take away my memories
Look, under the sun, by the pond, the buck naked one is me

People don’t dare believe how fast time goes by
They say that the end of the world is near
I still want to marry a girl, give myself to the revolution
Tell me is this possible?
Look at the post-80s generation, the so-called miserable youths
Working their asses off for houses and cars
Salaries aren’t increasing, cost of living goes up faster than Liu Xiang
Who decided that my dad isn’t Li Gang?

My youth is gone, it took away my childhood
Think back to my early days, we caught long-horned beetles in willow trees and fought
My youth is gone, it can’t take away my memories
Look, under the sun, by the pond, the buck naked one is me
My youth is gone, it took away my dreams
I wish that when I raise my head, what I see is the chalk thrown at me by the teacher
My youth is gone, it can’t take away my faith
Another 30 years and we’ve all got white hairs
Let’s continue screaming rock ‘n’ roll

We live on a hillside of the steppe
Beautiful skies, a fine life
One day, a big wild wolf appeared
Its wounds were terribly severe

You say, let’s heal him
I know you would think this way
Of course, anyway we don’t have any friends
Therefore the wolf became our friend

One day, I was eaten by the wolf
On the steppe where we often played
He said I was an extremely delicious meal
I said, you’re welcome

No problem, no problem, you can eat it for my sake
But take care not to eat too much
Thank you for taking this sweet revenge for me
Then can I humbly request that you
Devour his body and spirit
Let me become you

Chinese lyrics

我们住在草原的山坡上
天空美丽，生活美好
有一天来了一只大野狼
它受了很重很重的伤

你说我们来医治它吧
我也知道你会那么地想
当然好阿，反正我们也没有朋友
于是狼成为了我们的朋友

有一天我被狼吃掉了
在我们常玩耍的草原
它说我是非常美味的一餐
我说别客气

可以可以的，你可以为我吃掉它
但小心别吃太饱了喔
谢谢你为我完成这甜蜜复仇
那就再麻烦你
吃掉它的身体和灵魂
让我成为你

There’s a polar bear
Sitting on the sofa in our house
Drinking cola through a straw
Says the North Pole is too hot now

He asks me, can we turn the air conditioning on?
I say "no nuclear power", gotta be environmentally conscious
He silently looks at my refrigerator
I say don’t even think about it, no way in hell you’ll fit

Woo, why are you looking at me like that?
It’s not like I’m a hunter
Woo, why are you looking at me like that?
You say I’m not drooling, it’s tears

Crawl into bed without even bathing
Snatched away my cotton quilt, but doesn’t use it
Sleeping on my body, makes me hot as hell
He says you finally understand my pain, huh?

Pointing at the iceberg in the TV news
Says his home doesn’t look like that now
Crying, says the fish have all been eaten by humans
And he says he’d like to eat all the humans

Woo, why are you looking at me like that?
Ten of me wouldn’t be enough to fill the gaps in your teeth
Woo, why are you asking if I live by myself?
What do want to do, what do you want to do?

Wawuwawuwa, he swallowed one of my hands
Smoking my cigarettes, but doesn’t carelessly discard the butts
Wawuwawuwa, he swallowed one of my legs
Take my credit card to go shopping online
Wawuwawuwa, he swallows my body
Wear my clothes and start to go to work
Wawuwawuwa, don’t hang my head on the wall

Wawuwawuwa, living happy days
Wawuwawuwa, are these happy days?

Like a top, every day spinning non-stop
Why the heck are you so crazy busy?
Like a powerful eagle flying up into the blue sky
That’s how it understands the white cloud’s loneliness
The lonely wind blows away the sky-filling snow
Wants to invite it to dance and flutter

Want to wish you a happy new year, happy new year
A happy smile makes you more beautiful
Want to wish you a happy new year, happy every day
Worries and vexations, cast them all aside
Wulalalalala ye ye
Wulalalalala oh ye ye
Gotta be happy on new year's, remember it

Like a satellite, or orbiting other people
Spinning to and fro, can it receive praise?
Like a peacock, looking bright and fresh
How many years did it wait until it could spread its tail?
A tiny heart hides a lot of dreams
The more setbacks, the more bravery is needed

Want to wish you a happy new year, happy new year
A happy smile makes you more beautiful
Want to wish you a happy new year, happy every day
Worries and vexations, cast them all aside
Wulalalalala ye ye
Wulalalalala oh ye ye
Gotta be happy on new year's, remember it

Every person in this world, what are they crazily chasing after?
Does living just make you more tired and more perplexed?
The moment the new year arrives, return to childhood
Once again search for that innocent happiness

Want to wish you a happy new year, happy new year
A happy smile makes this world beautiful
Want to wish you a happy new year, happy every day
A good mood leads to humming a song
Wulalalalala ye ye
Wulalalalala oh ye ye
Gotta be happy on new year's, remember it
Happy new year, happy happy!

Kei mo la jin na jiu kei mo la jin na jiu

This world is too crowded
I have a small vegetable plot
This place is far from the 107
No smog or car fumes

My home isn’t in the big city
No need to smile at everyone you meet
No need to strive for money and power
I just need to make sure my tomatoes are clean

You take a Bombardier to go up in the air
My tomatoes are clean
When you land you drive a Ferrari
My tomatoes are clean

You wear a Rolex on your wrist
My tomatoes are clean
You wear Hermès around your waist
My tomatoes are clean

This world is too crowded
I have a small vegetable plot
This place is far from the 107
No smog or car fumes

My home isn’t in the big city
No need to smile at everyone you meet
No need to strive for money and power
I just need to make sure my tomatoes are clean

Your body is covered in Boucheron
My tomatoes are clean
You’ve sprayed Chanel from top to bottom
My tomatoes are clean

Tonight you’re lodging in the Burj Al Arab
My tomatoes are clean
You serve Martell at a fancy party
My tomatoes are clean

My tomatoes are clean
My tomatoes are clean
My tomatoes are clean
My tomatoes are clean

Since a potato’s composition
Is mostly a bunch of starch
You shouldn’t try to
Compare it with spinach in terms of vitamin A

You can use it with hot peppers to stir fry
A plate of vinegary julienned potato
So umami, spicy, fresh, crispy
You can totally treat it as a staple food

It also contains vitamin A
Has more thiamine than spinach
Stores a long time without spoiling

Since summer is a
Hot and suffocating season
You shouldn’t try to
Compare it with winter in terms of coolness

During the hottest time at noon, you can go out for a walk
Get some sun, sweat, detoxify, enliven blood circulation
Don’t ever need to spend money steaming in the sauna

Got some exercise, distracted oneself a bit
Also became familiar with the surrounding area
Got some exercise, distracted oneself a bit
Also became familiar with the surrounding area

Since the kid will grow up
You can’t stop it no matter what you do
Then you shouldn’t treat him
Like you would treat a Pekinese dog

Let him mistakenly believe this world
Is both refreshingly cool and warm
Basically it’s as if you took a frog
And put it into a pot filled with cold water that you slowly heat up

Flame burns ever more brightly, water gets ever hotter
Until he slowly loses perception

Since I told you that I love you
And you still don’t love me
Then why not just stay silent
And board a random train

Who cares if it’s headed towards a city
Or a small village
Anyway that place will always have
An unremarkable girl just like me

I’m waiting, I’m waiting
Her worries are waiting for me
I’m waiting, I’m waiting
Her worries are waiting for me

Today is another time to drink and sing
A lot of friends are meeting for the first time
Even though you’ve just gotten to know each other, you’ll be saying goodbye again very soon
I hope it isn’t for forever
Even though Bitter Ghost can only offer the gift of a little music
We hope you can hear our warm regards

Time passes day by day
We still haven’t found ourselves
Together with music and beer
There’s us, and sometimes there’s you

Sometimes happy, sometimes sad
Sometimes feel that life isn’t fair enough
Music, beer, and you all
That’s the point of our existence in this moment

Tonight we’re gonna relax
Go to the underground pub, entire body is carefree
Men and women drinking, dancing, singing
There’s black, white, yellow, and green, like a United Nations

Rock ‘n’ roll, one song after another
Rocking to the point where no one knows what day it is
Smoke wafts everywhere, nonstop joyous laughter
Can hear Chinese, English, French, German, as well as Spanish

The TVs on the walls are all showing MTV
Sometimes the DJ will play some cool songs
Because music is a wondrous kind of thing
It’ll make you cry, laugh, dance, scream til you’re old

The bigger and packed the crowd is, the more exciting
Scan front and back, left and right, up and down, it’s a happy scene
All night slowly indulging to your heart’s content
Who cares if you’re sitting, standing, leaning, lying down, or floating

This world is so wonderful
Life is good, so many sensations
This world is so wonderful
Having money is good, don’t lack for anything

Tonight we’re gonna relax
Go to the underground pub, entire body is carefree
Men and women drinking, dancing, singing
There’s black, white, yellow, and green, like a United Nations

This world is so wonderful
Life is good, so many sensations
This world is so wonderful
Having money is good, don’t lack for anything

Sun hasn’t risen yet, I open my eyes
Good morning, it’s now 6 AM
Change clothes, brush teeth, wash face, put on eyeliner
But forgot to eat breakfast

With great effort
Caught this subway train
After getting off the train
Realize that I’ve almost been squished into meat stuffing
Look down and check my wristwatch
I won’t be late
But must still add a little speed
Jog for a little while
Get through today, there’s no difference from yesterday

I would like to
Get home a bit earlier
To be not too tired
Stroke my guitar strings for a bit
Who could guess
After eating dinner it’s already 9
I want to jog 2 laps
To destroy my love handles

They say
You’d best do this and that
It should be like this and that
Go with the flow all the way to the end
But I don’t want to be facing life and saying sorry
Dadadida dadada
Saying sorry, didada dididi
Saying sorry

Dark clouds piled high in the sky
Groups of people walking blindly
Cling to momentary bursts of joy
Fill the void inside the heart
Use an invisible web
To link the world
Be consoled, be addicted

Flattering and fawning words
They always like to vie for social dominance
An environment where morals decline by the day
Corroding young souls

Sensationalist news
Blind adoration
False and exaggerated data
To manufacture topics
Manufacture topics

I’ve become a bird in a cage
Shed all the pride I once had
Saying things I don’t believe
Spare no effort to win their favor

Without realizing it I’ve become lonely and forlorn
Lonely and forlorn
But I’m powerless, hard to struggle free
This cage with an iron lock, an endless black hole

Please release me
Please discard me
Please kill me, dear master
Grant me my freedom
Please let me escape
Break free from this cage
Escape from this black hole

Please release me
Please discard me
Please kill me
Dear master

Please forgive me
Please guide me
Please help me attain my goal
Most beloved intimate

Smile
Kill me
Devour me

Dark clouds piled high in the sky
Groups of people walking blindly
Cling to momentary bursts of joy
Fill the void inside the heart
