Lyrics and translation 田馥甄 - 矛盾

矛盾

希望被疼惜 又不屑被放口袋裡
願意去相信 又將真心關得好緊
想改造自己想粉碎孤寂
卻搞亂自己卻打破愛情
太多的反省 壓力像鬼如影隨形
最初的幸運 最終會不會是囚禁
想膜拜心靈想特立獨行
卻服從規矩卻沉沒人群
多矛盾
同樣一個懷抱水火都沸騰
快樂凝望不快樂 妥協共生
同樣一個腦袋對立的靈魂
勇敢挑釁不勇敢 激烈辯論
但願夠默契 就能抵擋耳語來襲
但是再親密 人隔著心就有距離
想兩全其美就不得安寧
習慣不強求又挑戰宿命
多矛盾
同樣一個懷抱水火都沸騰
快樂凝望不快樂 妥協共生
同樣一個腦袋對立的靈魂
勇敢挑釁不勇敢 激烈辯論
同樣一個懷抱水火都沸騰
快樂凝望不快樂 妥協共生
同樣一個腦袋對立的靈魂
勇敢挑釁不勇敢 激烈辯論
反抗矛盾 反而矛盾

Paradox

I long to be cherished, yet I disdain being pocketed.
I want to believe, but I guard my heart closely.
I want to change, to break free from loneliness,
But I end up sabotaging myself, destroying my love.
Too much introspection, pressure like a specter, haunting me.
Will my initial good fortune become my ultimate prison?
I want to worship the spirit, to be unique,
But I submit to the rules, and sink into the crowd.
Oh, the paradox,
In the same embrace, both fire and water seethe,
Happiness gazing upon unhappiness, compromise coexisting.
In the same mind, opposing souls,
Bravely defiant, yet timid, engaged in fierce debate.
I hope we're intimate enough to withstand the whispers.
Yet no matter how close, people's hearts create distance.
To seek perfection is to invite restlessness.
I'm accustomed to not asking for much, yet I challenge fate.
Oh, the paradox,
In the same embrace, both fire and water seethe,
Happiness gazing upon unhappiness, compromise coexisting.
In the same mind, opposing souls,
Bravely defiant, yet timid, engaged in fierce debate.
In the same embrace, both fire and water seethe,
Happiness gazing upon unhappiness, compromise coexisting.
In the same mind, opposing souls,
Bravely defiant, yet timid, engaged in fierce debate.
Resisting the paradox only makes it worse.
