T/N: The title, 空壳, literally means "empty shell." Zhou Shen once mentioned in an interview that he sees himself as an empty shell that everyone filled up by leaving comments, sharing their day, happiness, sadness, and so on. Hence, the title, Shen.
他们都说我只是个空壳
tāmen dōu shuō wǒ zhǐshì gè kōngké
They all say I’m just an empty shell
不懂残酷或温柔的面孔
bùdǒng cánkù huò wēnróu de miànkǒng
(That I'm) A face that knows neither cruelty nor gentleness
而你却从远方走来 带着信物
ěr nǐ què cóng yuǎnfāng zǒulái, dàizhe xìnwù
Yet you came from afar bearing tokens that
一点点把我 填满了
yīdiǎndiǎn bǎ wǒ tiánmǎn le
Filled me slowly, piece by piece
有你爱的存钱筒
yǒu nǐ ài de cúnqiántǒng
The piggy bank you loved
有你赢的小弹球
yǒu nǐ yíng de xiǎodànqiú
The little marble you won
有你收的第一束花
yǒu nǐ shōu de dì yī shù huā
The first bouquet you received
有你等好久好久把第一双鞋拥有
yǒu nǐ děng hǎojiǔ hǎojiǔ bǎ dì yī shuāng xié yōngyǒu
The shoes you waited so long for
有你看了又看终于带离橱窗的裙
yǒu nǐ kàn le yòu kàn zhōngyú dàilí chúchuāng de qún
The dress you gazed at again and again, and finally brought home
你说这都叫做甜的
nǐ shuō zhè dōu jiào zuò tián de
You called all these things sweet
还有不愿放的手
háiyǒu bùyuàn fàng de shǒu
Then there are the hands you refused to let go,
被生活压低的头
bèi shēnghuó yādī de tóu
The head bowed low under life’s weight,
有你总一个人在漆黑隧道里走
yǒu nǐ zǒng yī gè rén zài qīhēi suìdào lǐ zǒu
The times you walked alone through dark tunnels all on your own,
有送不到的问候
yǒu sòngbùdào de wènhòu
The greetings that never reached,
有无人听懂的痛
yǒu wúrén tīngdǒng de tòng
The pain no one understood,
都一一交付于我
dōu yī yī jiāofù yú wǒ
You entrusted them all to me
原来这叫苦的
yuánlái zhè jiào kǔ de
So this is what bitterness is
我带着它们走
wǒ dàizhe tāmen zǒu
I carry them with me
全都视为珍重
quán dōu shìwéi zhēnzhòng
Cherishing them all
在与你告别后
zài yǔ nǐ gàobié hòu
Only after bidding you farewell
才明白这叫做拥有
cǎi mǐngbǎi zhè jiàozuò yōngyǒu
Did I understand what it means to possess
懂得了滋味的空壳
dǒng de le zīwèi de kōngké
An empty shell that learned to taste
不懂为何信任那么多 却给了我
bùdǒng wèihé xìnrèn nàme duō què gěi le wǒ
I don't understand why you placed so much trust in me
长出了血肉的空壳
zhǎngchù le xuěròu de kōngké
An empty shell that has grown flesh and blood
开始感觉比从前更空
kǎishǐ gǎnjué bǐ cóngqián gèng kōng,
Now feels emptier than before
是你给的
shì nǐ gěi de
(It's because of) the things you gave
没装满的存钱筒
měizhuāngmǎn de cúnqiántǒng
The piggy bank is still not full
落满灰尘的弹球
luòmǎn huīchén de dànqiú
The little marble is gathering dust
第一束花也已凋落
dì yī shù huā yě yǐ diāoluò
The first bouquet is now withered
那终将放开的手
nà zhōngjiāng fàngkāi de shǒu
The hands that will eventually let go
那无力抬起的头
nà wúlì táiqǐ de tóu
The head that is too weak to be lifted
你全给我毫无保留
nǐ quán gěi wǒ háo-wú-bǎo-liú
You gave them all to me without reserve
我欣然都接受
wǒ xīnrán dōu jiēshòu
And I gladly accepted
空和满在此刻换手
kōng hé mǎn zài cǐkè huànshǒu
In this moment, emptiness and fullness change hands
而你却还在问我
ér nǐ què háizài wèn wǒ
Yet you still ask me
填满空壳的意义
tiánmǎn kōngké de yìyì
What is the meaning of filling an empty shell
可我只是害怕你
kě wǒ zhǐshì hàipà nǐ
But all I fear is that you
弄丢了你自己
nòngdiū le nǐ zìjǐ
Lose yourself along the way
你说旧的你已经
nǐ shuō jiù de nǐ yǐjīng
You say the old you
就快要分崩离析
jiù kuàiyào fēn-bēng-lí-xī
Is on the verge of breaking apart
还不知道新的你
hái bùzhīdào xīn de nǐ
And you don’t know yet where the new you
该在哪里找寻
gāi zài nálǐ zhǎoxún
Should be found
我带着它们去
wǒ dàizhe tāmen qù
I carry these things with me
也许再次相遇
yěxǔ zàicì xiāngyù
Maybe when we meet again
再轻轻拥抱你
zài qīngqīng yōngbào nǐ
I’ll embrace you gently
这空壳是我 也是你
zhè kōngké shì wǒ yě shì nǐ
This empty shell is me, and it is also you
也是你
yě shì nǐ
It's also you
