he weaves a magic story
of a perfect life and absolute glory
earning from others’ illusions
giving them fantastic visions
he promises them their desire
if they’d just believe his words
people are pawns to be used
besides, reality is plenty dire
what’s wrong with making a living
giving people something to believe in
there are worse things that could be
and his job is to […]

你把世界忘掉
逃避到你的幻想
你不要想太多
最好脱离这现实
你要达到你的梦想
不想被感情干扰到
却不了解
当你在逃避时
世界却没等着你
还一样的旋转
当你醒来时
你的梦还有意义吗?
请别在陶醉里
失去了自己

收音机的音乐
顺耳又动听
温柔的嗓音
唱出动人的故事
陶醉在歌里
我却又怀疑
虽他嗓子清
似乎缺了心
这首情歌是给谁
为何唱得那么冷？
这种无情的情歌
简直对爱讽

many seem to want to know
what their existence is for
going through their daily flow
finding out life’s many laws
sometimes they can’t work it out
and it can get quite sad
in the cases when it’s really bad
they sometimes end it all
but i wouldn’t quite recommend
something quite so dire
the truth, i would think, my friend
is to retain that desire
to […]

要在一夜改过
简直不可能
但却别忘记
不动却没静动静
想在这一辈子得意义
就要往前去
一步一步往前走
直往目标去

shining gently through the clouds
the sun bathes the world in light
uncorrupted by noises loud
the wind’s touch gentle and slight
in the park the solitary gent sits
taking in the words of his morning read
on the streets nary a car
many still lost in a dreamland far
the world has yet to awaken fully
and tranquility brings out its beauty
on these […]

the policeman takes aim
squeezing the trigger
aiming to kill not to maim
and down goes the criminal
he moves toward the body
calling for backup
within moments this story
ends as the crew cleans up
the streets have become a little safer
one more sinner punished
one less crook on the streets
one less person to cast terror
one less father to teach his children
one less […]

对你有好感
却不知怎么办
要更了解你
在心里却好乱
那天你却说
如果要改善
要更爱自己
那是我答案
为了能爱你
我要先学爱
自己

they come and they linger
in dreams and out of the blue
ecstasy, emotion, anger
feelings of joy and of rue
they touch your heart
bringing out tears
of happiness or of sorrow
sometimes it’s never clear
they promise you the world
and decry it’s hopelessness
they lift you out and let you walk
they bring you down into darkness
they make us human
each little emotion
they give […]

looking toward the light
holding down the fears
ignoring the fright
and never shedding a tear
this time in the shadows
has reached its end
it is time for me to glow
and all past misdeeds to mend
with each small step
against the limits i fight
until the day i bask
fully in the bright sunlight

i see hoodlums lingering on street corners
glass windows smashed
looked on by sad shop owners
as they slump with depressed shoulders
i feel a rain that doesn’t stop
roads filled with hostile cars
people gloomly pushing on
the sky bereft of the shining stars
i yearn for more time to reach my goal
but inexorably, unstoppably
i see time gush by in a torrent
an […]

那天认识你
似乎开了心
锁住的感情
溶化心里冰
没勇气追求你
便欺骗着自己
梦里却无法隐
对你的情谊
就从今天起
让我为你活
为能配上你
努力的改活

the reason why i rhyme
is because i daren’t tell the time
or the things i feel
somehow i think you knew
perhaps it’s just fun
to try to write in rhyme
and to be able to hide
instead of putting up a fight
if you take a closer look
you’d find
that to decipher my book
all you need is a key
one i’ve reserved for […]
