[Verse 1]

Gods, oh gods open your mouths

That I may know who I am

It pushes me toward the sky

Skips the dust and ash

Can't never rest, never rest

The nigh sky flies on my back

Come bacchanal, bacchanal,

Never to fall down

[Verse 2]

Sun, oh sun, would you let me know

Why is it, why is it

That regrets overflow

Night sky, night sky, please tell me

What should I do, should I do

So that my soul won't break

[Chorus 1a]

Thunk! and it falls down

Fruit goes Thunk! and it falls down

At my feet the flowers bloom

Su su, su su su su su

(rustling noises)

Thunk! and it falls down

Bone goes Thunk! and it falls down

Now I can, now I can

Become a child again

[Verse 1] [Verse 2]

[Chorus 1b]

Thunk! and it falls down (Hearts tremble in their shells)

Thunk! and flowers bloom (Lift my head to see skylight)

Thunk! and it falls down (Life floats empty, empty)

(from Zhuangzi: Ingrained Ideas: "His life seems to float along; his death seems to be a resting.")

Become a child again (The wind takes me wandering)

[Verse 1] x2

[Verse 1a]

Gods, oh gods open your mouths

That I may know who I am

It pushes me toward the sky

Away from dirt and dust

Can't never rest, never rest

The nigh sky flies on my back

Come rest your heart, rest your heart,

Never to fall down

[Verse 1]

[Outro]

Fly over crops

Fly over neon lights

Fly over gravestones

Fly over rubble piles

Fly over crops

Fly over neon lights

Fly over gravestones

超度我 - Set Me Free

来不及

There's no time left

最后一句想你来不及让你知道

No time left to tell you one last 'I miss you'

再也回不去

We can't ever return

那个有彩虹出现的下午

To that afternoon when the rainbow appeared

再也感受不到你温度

I won't ever feel your warmth again

如果你留我在梦里

If you could leave me in my dreams

我会放弃呼吸

I will give up my breath

请 超度我

Please, set me free

若以色见我以音声求我

If one sees me in form, if one seeks me in sound

是人行邪道 不 不能见如来

He practices a deviant way and cannot, cannot see the Tathāgata

一切有为法 如梦幻泡影

All conditioned phenomena are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, shadows

如露亦如电 应作如是观

Like dew drops and lightning flashes, contemplate them thus

非空非有 亦空亦有

Present yet absent, existent yet non-existent

不生法相 无所住

Do not conceive of Dharmas, have a mind of no abode

非空非有 亦空亦有

Present yet absent, existent yet non-existent

不生法相 无所住

Do not conceive of Dharmas, have a mind of no abode

对不起

I'm sorry

不经意就在你的影子里活下去

It's so easy to live on in your shadow

我不在意

But I don't mind

不过是白日梦里一瞬息

It's just a moment in a daydream

为何还起念动心

Why does my heart still stir?

怪你名字太熟悉

It's all because your name is so familiar

当我是一花一叶一春木

If I could be a flower, a leaf, a spring sapling

可否回到世界之初

Could we return to the beginning of it all?

请 超度我

Please, set me free

若以色见我以音声求我

If one sees me in form, if one seeks me in sound

是人行邪道 不 不能见如来

He practices a deviant way and cannot, cannot see the Tathāgata

一切有为法 如梦幻泡影

All conditioned phenomena are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, shadows

如露亦如电 应作如是观

Like dew drops and lightning flashes, contemplate them thus

非空非有 亦空亦有

Present yet absent, existent yet non-existent

不生法相 无所住

Do not conceive of Dharmas, have a mind of no abode

非空非有 亦空亦有

Present yet absent, existent yet non-existent

不生法相 无所住

Do not conceive of Dharmas, have a mind of no abode

我的执念 万千千千

My obsessions, hundreds of thousands

放不下地 放不下天

I can't let go of the earth, I can't let go of the sky

我把红线折折剪剪

I cut and fold at the red string

落入凡间镜重圆

[Verse 1]

You say this view is like a painting

I'd say your thoughts have run away

So don't keep listening to me

Why don't you take off your disguise

[Verse 2]

Do you hear me crying?

You probably can't hear anyway

You're like a white horse

Why don't you leisurely run away

[Chorus 1a]

Let me look carefully at your face

Counting down these last curtain call moments

Forgive me for going silent too early

Does your elegant self know, I'm full of sores

[Verse 2]

[Chorus 1b]

Let me look carefully at your face

Counting down these last curtain call moments

Oh, my white horse, run a little slower

This time I'm not there to take you home

Oh spring, oh warm sun, come sooner

Guard his path so there's no wind or wave

Oh, my white horse, run a little slower

This time I'm not there to take you

[Intro]

I didn't intend to be a hero

Yet was forced to take my knife, roll my sleeves, and go up Mount Liang

(reference to Water Margin, a classic novel about the 108 outlaw heroes of Mount Liang)

See how I dare speak, dare act, don't dare take responsibility

(play on 敢做敢当: to dare act and dare take responsibility, i.e. to be honest and straightforward in one's actions)

So I ruin people, ruin hearts, ruin time

[Verse 1]

I am inexperienced

Clumsy and anxious

I'll drink first not out of respect

(先干为敬: to drink the entirety of one's cup to show respect to the other party)

Meet onstage but not act, is that alright?

(逢场作戏: meet onstage and act the part, i.e. to save face or pretend at a good relationship)

A smile to erase grudges, that's all pretend

(一笑泯恩仇: a smile erases all grudges, i.e. "water under the bridge")

I wildly dream, wildly think, wildly boast arrogance

[Pre-Chorus]

Hey lo, hey lo hey lo hey lo hey

Hey lo hey lo hey

Hey lo hey lo hey lo hey

Hey lo hey lo hey

Hey lo hey lo hey lo hey

Hey lo hey lo hey

Hey lo hey lo hey lo hey

Hey lo hey lo hey

[Chorus]

I am shallow and perfunctory

Don't make much noise

I tore off my gentleness

Threw it on the ground

I was a sun-chasing youth who took responsibility

Remembered what this world is meant to look like

I am this muddled world's evil creature, living honestly

Get out of my way, don't block my light

[Verse 2]

You climb skies and enter earth, I laugh my ass off

(上天入地: climb skies, enter earth; to be very capable)

You grant magnanimous grace, I'm so cold I shake

See how you dress so smart but forget to cover your shame

(遮羞: cover shame, usually refers to underwear)

On a dark and windy night don't turn around, I pity you

Walk with confident swagger yet stumbling every step

You say I'm still young, would you mind looking in the mirror?

I have poise as I wait for no more than a slap on my face

So I harm people, harm myself, harm normalcy

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

[Bridge]

I remember

There's sun and moon hanging day and night

There's ghost and god holding life and death

There's clear and dirty which people can distinguish

How did it give rise to confusion and tears?

There's sun and moon hanging day and night

There's ghost and god holding life and death

There's clear and dirty which people can distinguish

How did it give rise to confusion and tears?

There's sun and moon hanging day and night

There's ghost and god holding life and death

There's clear and dirty which people can distinguish

How did it give rise to confusion and tears?

Come, I go to Senluo Court

(alternative name for Diyu, Chinese mythological hell, loosely based on Buddhist Naraka)

Come, witness this hurricane madness

Come, laugh at this mighty sky

I take big and swift strides forward

[Pre-Chorus]

[Outro]

My fury burns for 800 measures

(800丈: 1丈 = 10 feet)

If you give me a candy

All Gone

All gone, oh it's all gone

In terror I know it all

This confused and busy life of mine

Ultimately must be walked alone

It's come, oh it's all come

Unending, unstopping fists

This fragile and lowly body of mine

Rises up to welcome the truth

My deluded attempt to gaze upon it, beg it

Look at me, oh look at me

But it skips over time, skips over goodbyes to tell me

Save it, oh fend for yourself

The sun will rise

Shed a tear

Oh, shed a single tear

Until it shines me bright through

Densely scattered are black stars

I'm gone, oh all gone

In terror I know it all

This confused and busy life of mine

Ultimately must be walked alone

I only want a pair of tearful eyes

To see clearly the sins on my path

I want a sound of long lament

To commemorate the injustice I bore

I want a pair of hands waiting at the end

To block my final sliver of weakness

Because the advancing and crumbling dry bones

In this moment resurrects in the light

I know there was never somewhere to return

I can only walk like this, oh walk, oh walk

Just follow it

Float, oh float
