撞進白晝 Lyrics

05 Crashing into Daylight

Crashing into daylight is harder than slipping into the night

the light tingles your sullen head

On this day you refuse to be cruel

while people in the streets maintain their ancient excitement

Being in daylight means handing yourself over to the light

and the light might bring you into the worlds of others

These won’t necessarily be their inner worlds

but does it matter?

This is after all a shared world of cement and cicada buzz.

¬––– what kind of a shared world is this?

People in the streets maintain their ancient predicament

your delicate heartbeats are also from a long, long time ago

‘At least do not be cruel’, you warn

‘your freedoms can be counted on the fingers of one hand!’

Among the willows, beside the lotus pond, beneath the thunderbolts, oh heavens!

Despise their pride, and be despised
