丑八怪

如果世界漆黑 其实我很美
在爱情里面进退 最多被消费
无关痛痒的是非
又怎么不对 无所谓

如果像你一样 总有人谄媚
围绕着我的卑微 也许能消退
其实我并不在意 有很多机会
像巨人一样的无畏
放纵我心里的鬼
可是我不配

丑八怪 能否别把灯打开
我要的爱 出没在漆黑一片的舞台
丑八怪 在这暧昧的时代
我的存在 像意外

有人用一滴泪 会红颜祸水
有人丢掉称谓 什么也不会
只要你足够虚伪 就不怕魔鬼 对不对
如果剧本写好 谁比谁高贵
我只能沉默以对 美丽本无罪
当欲望开始贪杯 有很多机会
像尘埃一样的无畏
化成灰 谁认得谁
管他配不配

丑八怪 能否别把灯打开
我要的爱 出没在漆黑一片的舞台
丑八怪 在这暧昧的时代
我的存在 不意外

丑八怪 其实见多就不怪
放肆去HIGH 用力踩
那不堪一击的洁白
丑八怪 这是我们的时代
我不存在 才意外

English #1 – Joker Xue → 丑八怪

In truth, I am very beautiful when the world is shrouded in darkness,
In love, all I ever get is being consumed,
But this hardship is harmless,
Because it doesn’t matter.

If only I could be flattered just like you,
Then perhaps this torment would disappear,
Actually, I’m don’t care about how many chances I get.
Like a fearless giant,
I indulge myself,
Even if I don’t deserve it.

Ugly, don’t turn the lights on.
My desired love comes and goes in the darkness of the stage,
Ugly, in this era of ambiguity,
My existence is like an accident.

Some people are beautiful after a single tear,
Some people simply lose their name,
As long as you are hypocritical, you won’t even fear the devil, right?
If the script is written well, who is more noble?
I can only be silent in this beautiful innocence,
Desire is often tempted to drown in alcohol.
Like the fearlessness of dust,
When turning to ash, who will remember whom?
Who cares if he was worthy?

Ugly, don’t turn the lights on.
My desired love comes and goes in the darkness of the stage,
Ugly, in this era of ambiguity,
My existence is like an accident.

Ugly, once you get used to it, you won’t blame them.
Grow tall and stomp on it,
That which is not worthy to be seen,
Ugly, this moment belongs to us,
It would be a shock if I didn’t exist.

English #2 – Joker Xue → 丑八怪

If the world is pitch black
如果世界漆黑
I’ll look lovely too.
其实我很美
Whenever my heart opens
在爱情里面进退
I brace for the bruise
最多被消费
Opinions become morals
无关痛痒的是非
Morals become rules
又怎么不对
Truth is cruel
无所谓

If I live like you do
如果像你一样
Showered with praise
总有人赞美
The shadows in my heart
围绕着我的卑微
May be erased
也许能消退
Honestly, I don’t mind it
其实我并不在意
I’m not ashamed
有很多机会
I will fearlessly lift my gaze
像巨人一样的无畏
But they say: “How dare you
放纵我心里的鬼
Come out during the day”
可是我不配
