Lyrics and translation 沈以诚 - 独居男子

独居男子

起床后睡眼惺忪像漫画中那张呆板的脸
领带要整齐毕竟公司回家地铁还要换线
有些热闹想看却又表现得视而不见
到了晚上一个人想起那些深深浅浅
那些喜欢不起来的是非论对错的幻觉
绵延不绝
坐在角落耗时间低头发现自己很早就
不抽烟
仔细生活每天紧张地呼吸着每个气味
不算完美
刻意遗忘生病遗忘那些过去清醒度日
如流年
才不看你的照片
你最好离我远点
早餐是牛奶油条苹果再加个鸡蛋要两面煎
午餐吃汉堡可乐明天体脂会不会高一些
晚餐回家楼下面馆咽两口对付一点
夜宵炸鸡想点一份算了吧别破戒
藏身公寓里面总比在城市疯狂地冒险
来的安全
尽情放纵一夜较之躺在房间床上睡眠
更肤浅
仔细生活每天紧张地呼吸着每个气味
不算完美
刻意遗忘生病遗忘那些过去清醒度日
如流年
才不看你的照片
你最好离我远点
才不看你的照片
你最好离我远点
早看透你的小观点对着我的大观念全部
都是表演
倒不如早些成全你大摇大摆的在酒馆里
吞云吐烟
仔细生活每天紧张地呼吸着每个气味
不算完美
刻意遗忘生病遗忘那些过去清醒度日
如流年
才不要和你见面
宁愿一辈子失眠
不要和你见面
宁愿一辈子失眠

Single Man

Wake up to a drowsy face just like a comic book, dull and plain
A neat tie is what I need, after all, I take the metro to work, transferring lines
There are some exciting things to see but I act as if I can't see them
At night, all alone, I think of those shallow and deep things
Things that are unlovable yet we argue over right and wrong, it's just an illusion
It's endless
Sitting in the corner, killing time, I lower my head and realize I've been
A non-smoker
Living meticulously, feeling anxious every day, inhaling every scent
Not so perfect
I deliberately forget about being ill, I forget about those past days, staying awake
Just like the passing years
I won't look at your photos
You'd better stay far away from me
For breakfast, I have milk, fried dough sticks, an apple, and two fried eggs
For lunch, I eat burgers and coke. I wonder if my body fat will go up tomorrow
For dinner, I make do with a few mouthfuls from the noodle shop downstairs
For supper, I think about ordering fried chicken, but then I decide against it, I don't want to break my diet
I'd rather hide in my apartment than take crazy adventures in the city
It feels safer
To indulge in a night of pleasure is
More superficial than lying in bed in my room and sleeping
Living meticulously, feeling anxious every day, inhaling every scent
Not so perfect
I deliberately forget about being ill, I forget about those past days, staying awake
Just like the passing years
I won't look at your photos
You'd better stay far away from me
I won't look at your photos
You'd better stay far away from me
I saw through your petty views a long time ago. When you confronted my great ideas, you
Were just putting on an act
I might as well let you go sooner, so you can swagger around in a bar
Smoking and drinking
Living meticulously, feeling anxious every day, inhaling every scent
Not so perfect
I deliberately forget about being ill, I forget about those past days, staying awake
Just like the passing years
I don't want to see you
I'd rather be an insomniac for life
I don't want to see you
I'd rather be an insomniac for life
