| Chinese Lyrics | English Translation |
|---|---|
| 转移 Zhuǎnyí | Transfer |
| 意识不过就是痕迹 Yìshí bùguò jiù shì hénjì | Consciousness is all just a trace |
| 孤立 Gūlì | Isolation |
| 情绪是种冗余清理 Qíngxù shì zhǒng rǒngyú qīnglǐ | Emburdened with emotions, clear them away |
| 没关系,没关系 Méiguānxi, méiguānxi | It's okay, it's okay |
| 只是一场游戏 Zhǐ shì yī cháng yóuxì | Just a game we play |
| 按下重启 Àn xià chóngqǐ | Hit "Reset" |
| 归为沉寂 Guī wéi chénjì | Back to lonely quiet |
| 命运无常束手难防 Mìngyùn wúcháng shùshǒu nán fáng | Capricious fate, there's no escape |
| 生旦净末丑喜怒哀乐愁 Shēng dàn jìng mò chǒu xǐ nù āilè chóu | All walks of life, joy, anger, grief, and strife |
| 冷若冰霜习以为常 Lěngruòbīngshuāng xíyǐwéicháng | As cold as the thaw, seen it all before |
| 世故圆滑虚伪 Shìgù yuánhuá xūwěi | Worldly, cultured, contrived |
| 何必去彷徨 Hébì qù fǎnghuáng | No need to hesitate |
| 随波逐流 水中浮萍 Suíbōzhúliú shuǐzhōng fúpíng | Go with the flow, drifting in the sea |
| 换回片刻安宁 Huàn huí piànkè ānníng | A fleeting glimpse of tranquility |
| 撕下伪装 叩问自己 Sī xià wěizhuāng kòuwèn zìjǐ | Take off the mask, self-scrutiny |
| 终是意难平 Zhōng shì yì nán píng | Hard not to feel uneasy |
| 世界待我狰狞 Shìjiè dài wǒ zhēngníng | This world knows only cruelty |
| 下一世寻找依凭 Xià yīshì xúnzhǎo yīpíng | In the next, I'll seek loyalty |
| 青青子衿 悠悠我心 Qīngqīng zi jīn yōuyōu wǒ xīn | Thinking of you, in your collar blue |
| 明月素琴待知音 Míngyuè sù qín dài zhīyīn | Countless moonlit nights, awaiting a friend so true |
| 零一零 零 零 一 Líng yī líng líng líng yī | Zero one zero, zero zero one |
| 暮鸟翩翩归晚林 Mù niǎo piānpiān guī wǎn lín | Back to the forest dusk birds flew |
| 零一零 零 零 一 Líng yī líng líng líng yī | Zero one zero, zero zero one |
| 天地逆旅何所依? Tiāndì nìlǚ hé suǒ yī? | Where in the world do I belong? |
