黑暗在 万家灯火之上
Darkness is right above our heads*
*万家灯火 = the lights of the ten thousand houses; hence I translated it as right above our heads
我们却只对着银河仰望
Yet we only look up at the stars
别紧闭 天生对峙暗的眼睛
Don’t close the eyes that were born to confront darkness
炙热的血才配得上光
Only hot blood is worthy of light
翻过墙逃亡
Whether it is climbing over the wall to escape
还是寻宝藏
Or searching for treasures
落地时的双脚伤都长得一样
After landing, the wounds on the legs look the same
垃圾旁盛放
Blooming next to trash
那花依然香
That flower is still fragrant
没有失望能压制破土的狂
No disappointment can suppress the arrogance that is breaking through the soil
只有幻想不用酝酿
Only imagination doesn’t need to gestate
梦想也脱成真相
Dreams also morph into truth
迷茫阻碍生长就游荡
If being lost stops growth, then just wander
大是大非逐帧丈量
Major issues are being measured inch by inch
会说不才是善良
Only knowing how to say ‘no’ is considered being kind
我的对没有谁可以抢
No one can snatch what’s right for me
黑暗在 万家灯火之上
Darkness is right above our heads
*万家灯火 = the lights of the ten thousand houses; hence I translated it as right above our heads
我们却只对着银河仰望
Yet we only look up at the stars
别紧闭 天生对峙暗的眼睛
Don’t close the eyes that were born to confront darkness
炙热的血才配得上光
Only hot blood is worthy of light
向我扑吧 不过遍体鳞伤
Come at me; it's just getting hurt
让我降 只会让我更疯狂
Asking me to surrender will just make me crazier
黑暗身后 正是我寻找的天窗
Behind the darkness is the skylight I’m searching for
闪开吧 别脏了我方向
Get lost, don’t dirty my direction
不染尘埃我不敢当
‘Not affected by mortal desires,’ I don’t dare to claim
也对镜子哭沧桑
I also cry in the mirror
地上的糖不妨碍我尝
That doesn’t stop me from tasting the sugar on the floor
大是大非逐帧丈量
Major issues are being measured inch by inch
会说不才是善良
Only knowing how to say ‘no’ is considered being kind
我的对没有谁可以抢
No one can snatch what’s right for me
黑暗在 万家灯火之上
Darkness is right above our heads*
我们却只对着银河仰望
Yet we only look up at the stars
别紧闭 天生对峙暗的眼睛
Don’t close the eyes that were born to confront darkness
炙热的血才配得上光
Only hot blood is worthy of light
向我扑吧 不过遍体鳞伤
Come at me; it's just getting hurt
让我降 只会让我更疯狂
Asking me to surrender will just make me crazier
黑暗身后 正是我寻找的天窗
Behind the darkness is the skylight I’m searching for
毁灭吧 别脏了我的光
Just perish, don't dirty my light
要走进剧情跌宕
To enter the ups and downs of the plot
就准备好疯狂和悲壮
One needs to be prepared for being crazy and tragic
(你够不够狂 就算结局悲壮)
(Are you crazy enough? Even if the ending is tragic?)
我的错我自己跪
I'll kneel for my own mistakes
无人能灭我的对
No one can destroy what’s right for me
Woo
Woo
别绝望 就算血泪成行
Don’t despair, even if blood and tears flow a river
黑暗一直在你来时路上
Darkness had always been on your journey
(你一直过关斩将)
(And you’ve passed every challenge)
别与它 交换你专属的翅膀
Don’t exchange your exclusive wings with it
别抛弃 你进化的坚强
Don’t give up the resilience you’ve evolved
(哪怕不想再飞翔)
(Even if you don’t want to fly anymore)
守住无妄 摊开手掌凝望
Defend the unexpected, open your palm, and stare
是空是伤 握紧仍是力量
No matter if it's empty or injured, clenched tight, it's still powerful
(掌心的线多漂亮)
(The lines on the palm are so pretty)
所有的光 也铺在来时的路上
All of the light is paved on the journey of the past
一直在 等我们的目光
It's always waiting for our gaze
怎样结尾 都不可能一身无伤
No matter the ending, it’s impossible to come out uninjured
我的对 是拯救我的光
What’s right for me is the light that saved me
