I was sucked into your blackhole
I cannot find my way to go
The kindest people are stupid animals
I find myself in the relegation zone

You have been my goddess god
And you have given lights of love
The hopeless times have yet to come
But I find myself in the relegation zone

I wanna return to little baby Slowly slowly
I sold my love to misery Truly truly
Yesterday was sweet and i know it
Nothing can compare with you and me

I tried not to be the first to run
Am I one of those you don't ever want
Remember how we turned into one
But I lost myself

Surrender is not the only way
For every cost I tried to pay
My aching head says time has faded
But I lost myself

I wanna return to little baby Slowly slowly
I sold my love to misery Truly truly
Yesterday was sweet and i know it
Nothing can compare with you and me

I wanna return to little baby Slowly slowly
I sold my love to misery Truly truly
Yesterday was sweet and i know it
Nothing can compare with you and me

verse
過去兩日 變化太大
歷史衝擊脈搏
怨氣過大 你我照捱
尋找新的自覺
該觸碰 該不怕 心驚膽顫
青春不怪哪個脫穎 找新的路向

pre-chorus
無人償還 個個變態厚黑
世界再亂 戰鬥𥚃會掌握
過去或是現在

chorus
荒誕裏 幾多位 擺姿態
穿煲呔 諸多廢話 點解
撒賴 呢鋪點算
邊一位會一反常態
細路 有兩度
談話時有氣度 有個腦
慘情 生不逢時
生於現代 不需後代
有路 還是冇路 位位相陪
喂 一命一路於是無路

verse 2
哪個償還 借了再算
光陰怎難過
哪個無名 照騙世界
鍵盤中找自我

pre-chorus 2
人人愛上鼓勵
無人懺悔更改

chorus 2
攀上 世界道路
未來靠細路 怒 建設大道
雖然 生不逢時
末日下你我照做
分裂在內內外外
多栽培慢慢實實在在
當人 生活無奈
想起當初的爛漫世代

bridge
安心嗎一起慌張
輕鬆嗎一起哀傷
當兇手站着笑着
竟辯論在道德的份上
一代 傷一代
裝扮 出於禍害
只想活着做人類後代
當年 今日 重複虛幻現象

嗚~ 計算過後有幾多個
出真心有幾多個
裝作 不顧 捨棄經過
都市浩劫不變又有幾個
你我尚存 繼續無奈

Won’t you stay with me

Running into the blue
Keep me cold keep me close to you
I'm floating with all the rules
Try so hard to see through

Forget about the gravity
When the world is driving us crazy
Forget about how we used to be
Won't you stay with me

Everytime I think of your everything just like dream come true, nothing to lose
When the world makes me a fool never mind I got you
I just wanna fall into I just wanna stay in you
Everytime I think of your everything just like dream come true, nothing to lose
I just wanna fall into I just wanna stay in you

verse
9點鐘的過客 遊蕩四處鬧市之間
I don’t know what to do but似是要吃晚飯
轉身眼光擦過 營業24便利店燈火
啤酒配餅乾 陪我看汽車經過

pre-chorus 1
迷迷惑惑 在混沌世間
紛紛擾擾 卿卿我我
指指點點 卻不太清楚

chorus 1
Can’t say I understand you baby
But I just cannot leave
相愛大概是一念狂熱
何以你相處 只靠文字

verse 2
無需要扮平穩
故意語調正常
無需要去吝嗇
即管去歡暢
Because my fucking ego is bigger than usual

情緒發洩過了就好
如我與你也沒擔保
逃去要趁早
沒法去彌補
Cos’ karma is a bitch & i’m that bitch

pre-chorus 2
唯唯諾諾 願為愛化簡
遮遮掩掩 怎可忘我
轟轟烈烈 有甚麼不可

chorus 2
Can’t say I understand you baby
But I just cannot leave
相愛大概是一念狂熱
何以你相處 只靠文字

bridge
人本需要平行
萬物相剋也相生
誰開始主次之分?
明明地位是對等
我也怕你負荷太多
但實實在在我亦沒辦法躲
你並沒做錯
沒計算結果
善念沒有對跟錯

last chorus
Can’t say I understand you baby
But I just cannot leave
相愛大概是⼀念狂熱
何以我依戀 冰冷文字

Walk along the street again
The place we said goodbye
a cold rain night

Flashing back the lovely time
The second hand unwinds
I Feel it twice

All the days have gone by
Almost left behind
The Secret’s deep down inside
Spinning on my mind

Breeze from the seaside
The sand gets in my eyes
Bittersweet you leave me
The flawless face I miss

Walk into the local bar
Play your favourite song
The same old vibe

The show has ended and people leave
whiskey’s gone dry
It’s to time to go (Let it go~)

All the days have gone by
Almost left behind
The Secret ‘s deep down inside
Spinning on my mind

Breeze from the seaside
The sand gets in my eyes
Bittersweet you leave me
The flawless face I miss

我與你同呼吸
我聽着你心底
再一次 再一次 我無能為力
你終究與自己漂浮在海裏

他在抽着煙回憶
吐着氣還在海裏
早就忘記 早就遣棄
沒有意義

他說着我沒關係
我說着我沒丟棄
可在我的心底裏
我沒有勇氣

盼着 給一切 這一切
哭着 我沒有這本領
笑着 我一樣也給不起
算了 我無能為力

你說 你說 我不必來
你說 你說 我給不起
你說 你說 我不在意
別忘記我自己

在那 在那 在那夜裏
我看 我看 看着自己
卻發現我 在另一片海裏

盼着 給一切 這一切
哭着 我沒有這本領
笑着 我一樣也給不起
算了 這一切你終究忘記

這一切你終究忘記

Empty room
Lonely chair
Silence and the gloom

Like the shoes
Without you
What else can it choose
You are not here anymore

You were kind
you were mine
and you said goodbye

I'm not mad
I'm not sad
But I can’t forget
You are not here anymore

Empty room
Lonely chair
They are waiting you
You are not here anymore

Nobody’s Watching | Elly C

Arrangement: Teddy Fan
Producer: Elly C & Teddy Fan
Mixing: Matthew Sim
© ℗ 2020 Elly C

Trying so hard to feel anything at all
Watching you burn while you're watching me fall
I think that I have lost my mind
I can’t sleep at night
Nobody wins this is a tie, alright

Laying on your bed watching at your ceiling fall
Turning and turning, I know I want more
I think that I have lost my mind
I wanna hold you tight
You’re gonna be my ride or die, tonight

Kiss me like nobody’s watching
It ain’t right but we’re the only one here
Nobody’s watching
Nobody’s telling us what we should be doing
We’re gonna get faded
We're gonna be who we wanna be

Caught you listening to my favourite song
Saw you smiling doing things you said were wrong
I think that I have lost my mind
I wanna hold you tight
You’re gonna be my ride or die, tonight

Kiss me like nobody’s watching
It ain’t right but we’re the only one here
Nobody’s watching
Nobody’s telling us what we should be doing
We’re gonna get faded
We're gonna be who we wanna be

Cuz nobody's watching
Nobody's judging
It's just you and me
You can go ahead and touch me baby
Cuz nobody's watching
Nobody's looking
It's just you and me
You can go ahead and put your lips on me

Kiss me like nobody’s watching
It ain’t right but we’re the only one here
Nobody’s watching
Nobody’s telling us what we should be doing
We’re gonna get faded
We're gonna be who we wanna be

Kiss me like nobody’s watching
It ain’t right but we’re the only one here
Nobody’s watching
Nobody’s telling us what we should be doing
We’re gonna get faded
We're gonna be

生者如盜 (Falling mix) | 張蔓姿

Lyrics: 林雪平
Arrangement: hirsk

© ℗ 2021 張蔓姿

存在那刻我與你已犯錯
沉沒世間就像失速般隕落
誰在我的兩腳綑線自縛
拖我 拖我 跌墮

流落那刻我背上責任因果
如負債般就像煙灰般跌落
回望每刻我背上債務當初
虧欠生存 太多

出生便恐懼 呼吸便焦慮

你的死亡是 我的死窮路
偷者偷到煎熬
我的生存是 你的新墳墓
生者如盜

還掉那些要過借過盗過
如像那刻尚未花開不散落
還掉那些看過聽過活過
不愛 不怨 不再 不過

When the sun is coming down
I got something feeling in heart
My heart
When the road is going dark
Take my heart and see how what you got
What you got

Please make the things come easy
Please try to kill me softly

I’ll take it back
There’s nothing left
Something whisper drilling my head
I’ll take it back
There’s nothing left
Faceless enemy will come again

You are on a train
You are in a trance state
Glancing at the outer world
And it’s moving so fast
Drops in decay

All the proud could feel the pain
Drag me down
This train is dragging me down
Into mediocrity
Into mediocrity
Into mediocrity
