Paroles et traduction G.E.M. - 摩天動物園

摩天動物園

傳說在伊甸 原始的愛沒有欺騙
簡樸過每一天 人們彼此真心一片
心跟著獨特節奏跳
臉掛著橘色嘴巴笑
直到蛇在身邊繞 蘋果讓你咬
直到起重機拔掉 我們的獨角

可憐的亞當 從此掉進蜘蛛網
為麵包打仗 先要學會吃土壤
樸實的大象 進化變成四不像
舉頭望著八方 低頭忘了思故鄉
人人都各自 想登峰插上 自己的旗幟
純白的鴿子 為什麼牠像 變成了歷史
努力要騎到寶馬買到房子
不過是為了讓青蛙能變成王子
穿灰衣的姑娘得不到尊重
社會大眾不在乎微小昆蟲
於是一群羔羊 卑微的願望
是努力擠進荒涼 庸俗的天堂
那些被龜贏的兔他們眼睛深紅
只會每天妒忌著別人成功
於是學著蟑螂 到處爬著牆 不怕黑也不怕髒
大便也舔上 為了要前往 光鮮的監房

活在摩天動物園 文明和野獸周旋
我看著黑白的臉 一張張變色就在一念間
人的心太莫測幻變 糾纏在愛與恨之間
天使與魔鬼都在身邊 畫著沒終點的圓圈

活在摩天動物園 我只能祈求上天
賜我清澈一雙眼 一點點識破美麗的謊言
當你站在慾望邊緣 突然間善惡難分辨
天使與魔鬼都在身邊 這時候你跪在誰跟前

你和我⽣來都是曾經白的紙
只是同樣被寫上太多歪的字
長大最無奈的是 踏實怕是傻子
你若不想被掰著吃 必須磨利牙齒
別任人屠宰 必要關頭只能把人出賣
再無奈 也只是成功無法避開的附帶
當鼻子愛上了霧霾 一開始察覺不出來
這一種腐敗 它像骨牌 慢慢地覆蓋 把你毒害

單純的一群小白豬
被名和利薰陶擺佈
衣服都故意少塊布 淪為了潮牌奴
賣了靈魂撈財富
一個個紅得快速 卻餓得變了排骨
鏡子裡面的怪物 四處無人牠就敗露
當初都憧憬好萊塢
最後通通都跑來哭
穿灰衣的姑娘得不到尊重
社會大眾不在乎微小昆蟲
於是一群羔羊 卑微的願望
是努力擠進荒涼 庸俗的天堂
那些被龜贏的兔他們眼睛深紅
只會每天妒忌著別人成功
於是學著蟑螂 到處爬著牆 不怕黑也不怕髒
大便也舔上 為了要前往 光鮮的監房

活在摩天動物園 文明和野獸周旋
我看著黑白的臉 一張張變色就在一念間
人的心太莫測幻變 糾纏在愛與恨之間
天使與魔鬼都在身邊 畫著沒終點的圓圈

活在摩天動物園 我只能祈求上天
賜我清澈一雙眼 一點點識破美麗的謊言
當你站在慾望邊緣 突然間善惡難分辨
天使與魔鬼都在身邊 這時候你跪在誰跟前
誰迷失在 水泥的 森林裡面
誰一直踩 最低的 人性底線
誰一直還 隨意地 任憑病變
誰其實在 回憶著 認命以前
誰迷失在 水泥的 森林裡面
誰一直踩 最低的 人性底線
誰一直還 隨意地 任憑病變
誰其實在 回憶著 認命以前

Skyscraper Zoo

Legend has it in Eden, original love is without deception
Passing each simple day, people's hearts were true
Hearts would beat to unique rhythms
Faces wore orange mouths of smiles
Until the serpent coiled around your side, made you take the bite
Until cranes pulled away, our unicorns

Poor Adam, from then on falling into spiderwebs
To fight for bread, you must first learn to eat soil
Honest elephants, evolving into freaks
Eyes raised to the eight directions, heads down, forgetting the thought of home
Everyone individually, wants to climb and plant their own flag
Pure white doves, why is it that they seem to have become history?
Work hard to ride a BMW, buy a house
It’s only to make the frog a prince
Ashen-clothed maidens don't gain respect
Society at large doesn't care about tiny insects
Thus a group of lambs, with humble wishes
To squeeze into a desolate, vulgar paradise
Those rabbits defeated by tortoise their eyes bloodshot
Only knowing how to envy the success of others
Thus learning from cockroaches, crawling all over the wall, unafraid of darkness or dirt
Licking up feces, to reach that glamorous cage

Living in the skyscraper zoo, civilization and wild beasts struggle
I watch the black and white faces, each face changing color in an instant
Human hearts are too unpredictable and fickle, entangled between love and hate
Angels and demons are all around, drawing circles without end

Living in the skyscraper zoo, I can only pray to the heavens
To grant me clear eyes, a little bit of insight into beautiful lies
When you stand on the edge of desire, suddenly good and evil are hard to discern
Angels and demons are all around, at this time who do you kneel before?

You and I, we are both originally blank pieces of paper
Only to be written on with too many crooked characters
The helplessness of growing up is, being honest is taken for foolishness
If you don’t want to be eaten whole, you must sharpen your teeth
Don't let others slaughter you, at the critical moment you can only betray others
No matter how helpless, it’s just a necessary evil to success
When noses come to love smog, at first it’s unnoticed
This kind of corruption, it’s like dominoes, slowly smothering you, poisoning you

A group of simple-minded little pigs
Obsessed and manipulated by fame and fortune
Their clothes intentionally short on fabric, becoming slaves to fashion
Selling their souls to rake in wealth
One by one quickly gaining popularity, yet starving themselves to a skeleton
The monster in the mirror, it’s alone and exposed
At first they all yearned for Hollywood
In the end they all come running to cry
Ashen-clothed maidens don't gain respect
Society at large doesn't care about tiny insects
Thus a group of lambs, with humble wishes
To squeeze into a desolate, vulgar paradise
Those rabbits defeated by tortoise their eyes bloodshot
Only knowing how to envy the success of others
Thus learning from cockroaches, crawling all over the wall, unafraid of darkness or dirt
Licking up feces, to reach that glamorous cage

Living in the skyscraper zoo, civilization and wild beasts struggle
I watch the black and white faces, each face changing color in an instant
Human hearts are too unpredictable and fickle, entangled between love and hate
Angels and demons are all around, drawing circles without end

Living in the skyscraper zoo, I can only pray to the heavens
To grant me clear eyes, a little bit of insight into beautiful lies
When you stand on the edge of desire, suddenly good and evil are hard to discern
Angels and demons are all around, at this time who do you kneel before?
Who is lost in the cement forest?
Who keeps stepping on the lowest line of human nature?
Who keeps permitting changes at random, without care?
Who truly is recalling, before accepting fate?
Who is lost in the cement forest?
Who keeps stepping on the lowest line of human nature?
Who keeps permitting changes at random, without care?
Who truly is recalling, before accepting fate?
