生存以上 生活以下 More than Surviving, Less than Living

| Even brushing my teeth
follows a rhythm, flushing the toilet, washing the exhausted bubbles
off my face No dreams, last night I didn’t dream, the stranger in the mirror doesn’t dream anymore The bell beginning class turns into a time clock, this one-way life slips away while caught in traffic The standard rhythm of a march, living the way a slogan complies with the rules of rhyme Lunch can be anything, really it’s all good or I’ll just have what you’re having Strange, long ago I used to have my own definite opinions, a stubborn heart When I’m hurt I no longer go out for air; these days I’m afraid of catching cold, delaying others and their requests, day by day Watching the sun rise and the sun set, watching the moon wax and wane, passing year after year, seeing everyone who has made me into who I am now Afraid of the rising and falling tide, afraid of gains and losses, the pain of the same mistakes over and over, until my life is just about surviving Living a life of just breathing, eating, drinking When I was young, I only wanted to look at the sky, pillowy clouds, thinking the world is complete Then I grew up and had so much more, so why do I feel more and more like it’s not enough, like it’s deficient Back then just chasing freedom, now just chasing increasingly expensive petrol Can it be that the earth’s crust is shaking again, do I have to be shaken from my home before I regret this kind of life Is dying the opposite of living, or is it just surviving, nothing impulsive Closing my eyes I can feel my life every minute, every second, flying farther from me Unequal to an insect that has at least broken through its cocoon, stretched its wings to fly, snatching that bit of sky, day by day Watching the sun rise and the sun set, watching the moon wax and wane, passing year after year, seeing everyone who has made me into who I am now Afraid of the rising and falling tide, afraid of gains and losses, the pain of the same mistakes over and over, until my life is just about surviving Living a life of just breathing, eating, drinking A year has 365 days, more than 525,000 minutes A lifetime has 3,456,789,000 heartbeats After we’re born to love, how should our lives be spent, all the way until we turn to smoke, day by day Watching the sun rise and the sun set, watching the moon wax and wane, passing year after year, seeing everyone who has made me into who I am now Afraid of the rising and falling tide, afraid of gains and losses, the pain of the same mistakes over and over, until my life is just about surviving Living a life of just breathing, eating, drinking, day by day Watching the sun rise and the sun set, watching the moon wax and wane, passing year after year, seeing everyone who has made me into who I am now Afraid of the rising and falling tide, afraid of gains and losses, the pain of the same mistakes over and over, until my life is just about surviving Even brushing my teeth follows a rhythm, then I set the alarm for 6:30 am tomorrow |
連刷牙 也照著節奏 沖了馬桶 洗了臉上的疲憊泡沫 沒有夢 昨夜沒有夢 鏡子裡的 陌生人已經不再做夢 上課鐘 變成打卡鐘 單行道般 的人生流失在車陣中 進行曲 規律的平庸 活的像是 一句標語壓韻而服從 午餐是 隨便還是 都好還是 跟你一樣 的任何一種 奇怪呢 很久以前 我是很有 想法主見 心跳很執著 傷心再也不吹風 現在只害怕傷風 耽誤了誰和誰的要求 一天一天 看日昇日落 看月圓月缺 年復一年的經過 看誰把我變成現在的我 怕潮起潮落 怕患得患失 錯了又錯的疼痛 終於我的生命只剩生存 活著只會呼吸吃飯喝水的生活 小時候 只要看天空 枕著白雲 就覺得全世界都擁有 長大了 擁有的更多 為何感覺 到越來越匱乏越貧窮 那一年 只追逐自由 現在只能 追逐著漲不停的石油 是不是 地殼又震動 要從家裡 震落才悔恨這樣生 生活的 反面會是 死去還是 這般生存 不再有衝動 閉上眼 就能感覺 生命正在 一分一秒 飛奔遠離我 還不如一隻昆蟲 至少能破繭展翅 飛像那被奪走的天空 一天一天 看日昇日落 看月圓月缺 年復一年的經過 看誰把我變成現在的我 怕潮起潮落 怕患得患失 錯了又錯的疼痛 終於我的生命只剩生存 活著只會呼吸吃飯喝水的生活 一年有 三百六十 五個日子 五十二萬 五千多分鐘 一生有 三十四億 五千六百 七十八萬 九千下脈搏 為愛而生之後 生命要怎麼揮霍 直到我化成煙的時候 一天一天 看日昇日落 看月圓月缺 年復一年的經過 看誰把我變成現在的我 怕潮起潮落 怕患得患失 錯了又錯的疼痛 終於我的生命只剩生存 活著只會呼吸吃飯喝水的生活 一天一天 看日昇日落 看月圓月缺 年復一年的經過 曾經我也那麼獨一無二 怕潮起潮落 怕患得患失 錯了又錯的疼痛 終於我的生命只剩生存 活著只會呼吸吃飯喝水的生活 連刷牙 也照著節奏 然後設定了明天 六點半的鬧鐘 |

Notes: Born to Love is, of course, the name of Mayday's sixth album, the one before this one. Unusually for math-challenged Ashin, he got the number of minutes in the year right (it should be 525,600, but that's "more than 525,000); I have no clue how he figured the number of heartbeats. It sounds good, though. This is only the second melody that Masa has written for Mayday, the first being "The Most Important Trivial Concern."
