又在纠结了 该不该说呢
昨夜今夜明夜 夜夜辗转反侧
直到听见闹钟声

It’s another mess again – should I say something?
Last night, tonight, tomorrow night – tossing and turning through each night and the next
Before finally being awoken by the alarm

又在犹豫了 该听谁的呢
他说她说它说 说说又能如何
反正全都是假设

It’s another dilemma again – who should I listen to?
So he says, so she says, so it says – but even saying such, what can I do?
Ah well, it’s nothing but what-if’s anyway

最近我常常幻想着有没有可能
某一天 人生也可以 随时读取和保存

Lately I’ve been fantasizing the possibility
That one day, we’ll also be able to read and write our lives from a save file!

反复猜测 揣测 才发现没有对策
每次都患失患得
不停选择 抉择 然后深深自责
真心换假意值不值得
反复猜测 揣测 却又要重蹈覆辙
那真是可喜可贺
不停选择 抉择 就算陷入水深火热
也不必忐忑

Over and over, we’ve been taking guesses and feeling our way in the dark – but there was never a way about it
We’ll always be worrying about what we’ve won and lost
Never once stopping, we’ve made choices one after another, and blaming ourselves for it
Would it be more worth it to drop my sincerity and take up a mask of pretense?
Over and over, we’ve been taking guesses and feeling our way in the dark – but it’s the same old road to ruin
So really, congratulations!
Never once stopping, we’ve made choices one after another, come hell or high water
So there’s no need to let your nerves get to you

又在烦恼了 该怎样快乐
难事傻事屁事 事事难以预测
未免也太过曲折

It’s another night of worrying again – what do I need to do, to feel happy?
It’s not so easy, it’s all so stupid, it’s all just bull – no matter what I do, there’s just no seeing the future
Again, it’s fallen back to being a knot of complications

总在担心预料之外的情况发生
为什么 不试着放下早被翻烂的剧本

Nothing but worrying about unplanned circumstances
Well, maybe I should just drop this long busted script to begin with!

反复猜测 揣测 才发现没有对策
每次都患失患得
不停选择 抉择 然后深深自责
真心换假意值不值得
反复猜测 揣测 却又要重蹈覆辙
那真是可喜可贺
不停选择 抉择 就算陷入水深火热
也不必忐忑

Over and over, we’ve been taking guesses and feeling our way in the dark – but there was never a way about it
We’ll always be worrying about what we’ve won and lost
Never once stopping, we’ve made choices one after another, and blaming ourselves for it

该怎么选择 他们才会满意呢
该怎么选择 所有感官已经麻木了
该怎么选择 才称得上所谓的完美平衡
我得到了什么 而代价又是什么

What should I choose? So they’ll all be satisfied?
What should I choose? All my senses have long been numbed
What should I choose? So I can achieve that so-called perfect equilibrium
What have I obtained? What have I lost for it?

「你会说我不可理喻,但我的确把观众的反馈当饭吃」
「我是作品的一部分,还是作品是我的一部分」
「还不想变冷,还不想停止」
「能否把我作为活生生的人,作为我来喜欢」
「别走,好吗?」
「好啊,全都离开我吧」

You might think I’m being unreasonable, but I’ve always taken on you guys’ feedback
Am I a part of my work, or is my work a part of me?
I don’t want to lose my passion yet, I don’t want to stop creating just yet
Can you treat me like someone alive, treat me in a way that I’d like?
Don’t go, please?
Ah well, I guess they’ve all left.


反复猜测 揣测 才发现全是胡扯
总有人多嘴多舌
不停选择 抉择 凡事没有定则
根本没必要疑鬼疑神
反复猜测 揣测 就任他重蹈覆辙
直到我大悟大彻
不停选择 抉择 就算陷入水深火热
也足够独特

Over and over, we’ve been taking guesses and feeling our way in the dark – only to find it’s all bullshit anyway
There’s always someone who’ll have too much to say
Never once stopping, we’ve made choices one after another, but there’s no rules to things in nature
So there’s no need to always be looking over your shoulder
Over and over, we’ve been taking guesses and feeling our way in the dark – so let me fall into the same old mistakes
‘Till I’ve gone and truly learnt
Never once stopping, we’ve made choices one after another, come hell or high water
So I think it’s enough, just being me
