不知道該從哪裡說起，什麼時候做的決定
I
don't
know
where
to
start,
when
I
made
the
decision,
我，一個從小沒有唱歌習慣的人竟想當歌手
I,
someone
who
has
never
sung,
decided
to
be
a
singer.
這一個決定差點鬧起家庭革命但好險沒有
This
decision
almost
caused
a
family
revolution,
but幸好沒有.
爸爸媽媽姐姐現在都全心全力為我加油
但
My
parents
and
sister
are
now
fully
supporting
me,
but…
從一個大學生變無業遊民目前沒有工作
From
a
university
student
to
an
unemployed
vagrant,
I
currently
have
no
job,
所以我花家裡的錢花得是越來越來的內疚
So
I
feel
increasingly
guilty
spending
my
family's
money.
本來以為從LA飛到台北唱片公司搶簽走
I
thought
I
would
be抢走by
a
record
company
after
flying
from
LA
to
Taipei,
搞了半天連半個合約都辦不成半個下落
But
I
ended
up
not
even
getting
a
half
contract
or
a
follow-up.
錯～
(我懷疑自己)
是不是做錯？不不不不...
Wrong
- (I
doubt
myself)
Did
I
make
a
mistake?
No
no
no
no...
每個人的人生，都有一段片刻在等，那叫做過渡期
In
everyone's
life,
there
is
a
moment
of
waiting,
called
a
transition
period.
我安慰自己
I
comfort
myself.
每個人的人生，都有一段考驗在等，那叫做別放棄
In
everyone's
life,
there
is
a
test
waiting,
called
don't
give
up.
我激勵自己
I
encourage
myself.
這一首歌是前所未有在台北寫的第一首
(第一首)
This
song
is
the
first
song
I
wrote
in
Taipei.
(First
song)
開始計時今天到出專輯的那天還要多久
I
started
counting
down
the
days
until
my
album
was
released.
吃幾碗的泡麵？幾晚的寂寞？幾番的放棄念頭？
How
many
bowls
of
instant
noodles
will
I
eat?
How
many
lonely
nights?
How
many
times
will
I
give
up?
期盼貴人發掘我，發覺我也只能向上天拜求
I
look
forward
to
a
benefactor
finding
me,
but
I
can
only
pray
to
heaven.

雖然
Although
這樣子自我催眠有點效用但是明天醒來還是覺得我終究一事無成
Such
self-hypnosis
works
a
little,
but
when
I
wake
up
tomorrow,
I
still
feel
like
I'm
a
failure.
那麼的多的人對我是充滿期待而我沒辦法交代感到一絲無奈
So
many
people
have
high
expectations
of
me,
and
I
feel
helpless
that
I
can't
deliver.
所有的親戚和家人在高雄，交往多年的好朋友在美國
All
my
relatives
and
family
are
in
Kaohsiung,
and
my
close
friends
for
many
years
are
in
the
United
States,
而我...
而我困在台北...
And
I...
And
I'm
stranded
in
Taipei...
