朝死暮生 (Zhāo Sǐ Mù Shēng)

==Lyrics==
Chinese 	Pinyin 	English
真与假 对与错 	zhēn yǔ jiǎ​ duì yǔ cuò 	True and false, right and wrong,
一切都黯然失色 	yīqiè dōu ànrán shīsè 	Have all found themselves paled into insignificance
漆黑与浑浊中 	qīhēi yǔ húnzhuó zhōng 	Here, in the dark and muddled,
能否打捞清澈 	néng fǒu dǎlāo qīngchè 	Can I regain even a tiny moment of calm and lucidity?
 	 	
沉睡的被称作 	chénshuì de bèi chēng zuò 	Deep in sleep, they've instead been referred to as
光的追随者 	guāng de zhuīsuízhě 	Those who seek in pursuit of light and glory
在苏醒的下一个 	zài sūxǐng de xià yī gè 	Once they've woken up, I wonder,
故事里起承转合 	gùshì lǐ qǐchéngzhuǎnhé 	How will the next story go?
 	 	
规整的 散乱的 	guīzhěng de​ sàn luàn de 	Whether put well in order or in a proper mess,
时间被沙漏折射 	shíjiān bèi shālòu zhéshè 	All the same, time is being refracted by the falling sand (of the hourglass)
哭泣的城市 	kūqì de chéngshì 	The city, sobbing with tears,
倒映破碎的漩涡 	dàoyìng pòsuì de xuánwō 	Is reflected onto the broken maelstrom
 	 	
借零点一刻 	jiè líng diǎn yī kè 	Under a short moment at midnight,
指针车辙碾过 	zhǐzhēn chēzhé niǎnguò 	The hand of the clock wounds over its well-trodden tracks
怀着哀悼叹息 	huáizhe āidào tànxí 	With grief and regret, I sigh
黎明到来 无法选择 	límíng dàolái​ wúfǎ xuǎnzé 	The dawn has come, without my choice in the matter
 	 	
吞咽歌声 留下喑哑 	tūnyàn gēshēng​ liú xià yīnyǎ 	Swallowing my proud voice, I leave myself mute and silent
枯萎的想法 	kūwěi de xiǎngfǎ 	Withered thoughts and ideas
提线木偶不知害怕 	tí xiàn mù'ǒu bùzhī hàipà 	What would a puppet on strings know about fear?
天亮后停止发芽 	tiānliàng hòu tíngzhǐ fāyá 	As the sun rises, the bud stops growing
 	 	
你是否会融化于无尽盛夏 	nǐ shìfǒu huì rónghuà yú wújìn shèngxià 	Would you someday disappear in the endless midsummer?
孤傲和孤独从来无人应答 	gū'ào hé gūdú cónglái wúrén yìngdá 	Putting on a brave front, in loneliness, there was never someone who answered
寄生在 凋谢在 暮色的 无名花 	jìshēng zài​ diāoxiè zài​ mùsè de​ wúmíng huā	A parasitic living thing, the unknown flower that wilts when dusk comes
苦与甜渗入白昼变得复杂 	kǔ yǔ tián shènrù báizhòu biàn dé fùzá 	Both bitter and sweet things have set into the midday, as they stir mixed feelings in me
 	 	
明与暗 相交错 	míng yǔ àn​ xiàng jiāocuò 	Light and dark intertwine
夜幕被流星划破 	yèmù bèi liúxīng huà pò 	Shooting stars streak across the night skies
翻涌的冷漠中 	fānyǒng de lěngmò zhōng 	While putting on a cold front, with aggravated emotions stirring within,
窥见一隙炽热 	kuījiàn yī xì chìrè 	I catch a glimpse of passion slipping through
 	 	
蛰伏着躲藏于 	zhéfúzhe duǒcáng yú 	Hibernating, I hide myself in
陌生的沼泽 	mòshēng de zhǎozé 	The swamp that is as far from home to me
在佩戴假面以前 	zài pèidài jiǎ miàn yǐqián 	Before I take up this mask,
构思好如何言说 	gòusī hǎo rúhé yánshuō 	I'd like to think long and hard how to say these words
 	 	
无数个你 	wúshù gè nǐ 	Countless 'you's
丢失了无数个我 	diū shī le wúshù gè wǒ 	Have cast countless 'me's aside
可是无数天空 	kěshì wúshù tiānkōng 	On the other hand, you'll also find
游荡着那些你我 	yóudàngzhe nàxiē nǐwǒ 	That there are a few 'you and me's lingering over countless skies
 	 	
写一支凄凉的歌 	xiě yī zhī qīliáng de gē 	I'll write a dreary piece, a sad song
破晓以前将迷茫烧灼 	pòxiǎo yǐqián jiāng mímáng shāozhuó 	Before the dawn comes, it shall burn through my confusion and doubts
黎明到来 无法选择 	límíng dàolái​ wúfǎ xuǎnzé 	But the dawn has come, without my choice in the matter
 	 	
你是否会融化于无尽盛夏 	nǐ shìfǒu huì rónghuà yú wújìn shèngxià 	Would you someday disappear in the endless midsummer?
孤傲和孤独从来无人应答 	gū'ào hé gūdú cónglái wúrén yìngdá 	Putting on a brave front, in loneliness, there was never someone who answered
寄生在 凋谢在 暮色的 无名花 	jìshēng zài​ diāoxiè zài​ mùsè de​ wúmíng huā	A parasitic living thing, the unknown flower that wilts when dusk comes
苦与甜渗入白昼变得复杂 	kǔ yǔ tián shènrù báizhòu biàn dé fùzá 	Both bitter and sweet things have set into the midday, as they stir mixed feelings in me
 	 	
你是否会驻足于无尽盛夏 	nǐ shìfǒu huì zhùzú yú wújìn shèngxià 	Will you someday settle down in the endless midsummer?
渴望拥抱亲吻和抚摸头发 	kěwàng yǒngbào qīnwěn hé fǔmō tóufà 	Oh, how I long for someone to hold me tight, kiss me, and stroke my hair
爱与恨 悲与喜 淹没的 无名花 	ài yǔ hèn​ bēi yǔ xǐ​ yānmò de​ wúmíng huā	Love and hate, sorrow and joy, the unknown flower that drowns to oblivion
或许只是一阵凝固的喧哗 	huòxǔ zhǐshì yīzhèn nínggù de xuānhuá 	Perhaps, I'm doing nothing more than trying to freeze the city noise and hubbub for a short moment
