靜止-杨乃文 Still-Yang Naiwen / Faith Yang

Wowkie Zhang and Faith Yang sure know how to describe depression, decadence and loneliness.

Living in the shadow of COVID-19, don’t we all feel that life stopped at some point?

寂寞圍繞著電視 垂死堅持 在兩點半消失
Loneliness surrounded the TV, dying yet persisting, [until it] disappeared at 2:30 am
多希望有人來陪我 度過末日
How I wish to have someone keep me company, to survive doomsday
空虛敲打著意志 彷彿這時間已靜止
Emptiness kept striking the willpower, as if time was still
我懷疑人們的生活 有所掩飾
I suspected that people were hiding something about their life
啊 啊 啊 垂死堅持
Ah ah ah, dying yet persisting
啊 啊 啊 已靜止
Ah ah ah, it stopped already
衝動在瞬間消失 夢被稀釋 不停轉動著手指
The impulse disappeared in a split second. Dreams were diluted. I kept twirling my fingers
我幻想美麗的生活 何時開始
I imagined when a beautiful life would start
時光不經意流逝 像顆在耗費的電池
Time elapsed when I wasn’t paying attention. It’s like a battery in use
我感到有點失落 無法抑制
I felt a little at loss. I couldn’t suppressed that feeling
啊 啊 啊 垂死堅持
Ah ah ah, dying yet persisting
啊 啊 啊 已靜止
Ah ah ah, it stopped already
啊 啊 啊 垂死堅持
Ah ah ah, dying yet persisting
啊 啊 啊 全部消失
Ah ah ah it’s all gone
啊 啊 啊 垂死堅持
Ah ah ah, dying yet persisting
啊 啊 啊 全部消失
Ah ah ah it’s all gone
啊 啊 啊 垂死堅持
Ah ah ah, dying yet persisting
啊 啊 啊 已靜止
Ah ah ah, it stopped already
寂寞圍繞著電視 垂死堅持 在兩點半消失
Loneliness surrounded the TV, dying yet persisting, [until it] disappeared at 2:30 am

How I wish to have someone keep me company, to survive doomsday
空虛敲打著意志 彷彿這時間已靜止
Emptiness kept striking the willpower, as if time was still
空虛敲打著意志 彷彿這時間已靜止
Emptiness kept striking the willpower, as if time was still
