不想起床不想睡覺,不換內褲不想洗澡
I don’t want to get up, go to bed, change my underwear or take a shower.
自怨自哀自憐放棄治療,系統不正常雜訊幹擾
I loath myself, grieve for myself, pity myself, and give up therapy [give up on myself]. The system malfunctions. Noise jamming.
來福薩克死(Life Sucks),羅曼蒂克死,悲哀莫大于心死,全身只剩眼神死
Life sucks, romance dies, there is no grief greater than apathy, and the whole body is shut down except my glazed eyes.
愛情卡關孤單寂寞難熬,生活卡關爲五鬥米折腰
In the love department, I’m lonely and suffering; in the life department, I bow and scrape for five pecks of rice [make compromises to get by].
運氣不好總有瞎咖來鬧,需要時間消化這些黑色玩笑
When I’m not in luck, there are always idiots barging in to make a scene [when it rains, it pours], and I need time to digest these dark jokes.
說得好在哪裏跌倒在哪裏躺好,消極好消極一下好人生有高低潮
It’s well said that wherever you fall, you should just stay horizontal. Being negative is good. Negativity helps. Life has its ups and downs.
說得好流年不太好當作上大號,消極好跟消極握手再一筆勾消
It’s well said that when it’s not your year, you should just treat it as a time to take a dump [to flush your bad luck away]. Being negative is good. Shake hands with negativity, and then all the old scores can be written off.

It’s well said that wherever you fall, you should just stay horizontal. Being negative is good. Negativity helps. Life has its ups and downs.
說得好流年不太好當作上大號,消極好跟消極擁抱再分道揚镳
It’s well said that wherever you fall, you should just stay horizontal. Being negative is good. It’s good to embrace negativity and then part with it.
不想假笑陰森很好,想無理取鬧不裝客套
If you don’t want to fake a smile, it’s good to sulk. If you intend to make trouble, you don’t have to pretend to be polite.
難過到走心一了百了,賀爾蒙不正常理智線斷掉
When sorrow goes deep, it cuts your heart and ends all your woes; your hormones are out of whack, and your brain refuses to be rational.
來福薩克死,羅曼蒂克死,悲哀莫大于心死,全身只剩眼神死
Life sucks, romance dies, there is no grief greater than apathy, and the whole body is shut down except my glazed eyes.

In the love department, I’m lonely and suffering; in the life department, I bow and scrape for five pecks of rice [make compromises to get by]
運氣不好總有瞎咖來鬧,需要沈澱思考命運莫名其妙
When I’m not in luck, there are always idiots barging in to make a scene [when it rains, it pours]. You need to take a break and think. Fate is baffling.
說得好在哪裏跌倒在哪裏躺好,消極好消極一下好人生有高低潮

休息夠了重新上緊發條,頹廢夠了活動活動手腳
Once you are well-rested, you can resume winding the clock [gearing up]. Once you are done with feeling down in the dumps, you can try to limber up the joints [stretch].
消極夠了掰掰告別煩惱,活著就有希望一切都是治療
Once you are done with all this negativity, you can say goodbye to your worries. As long as you are alive, you are not running out of hope. Everything is a kind of therapy.
