換個殼吧

我又換了工牌

wǒ yòu huàn le gōng pái

I changed my work badge again

把名字壓低一點

bǎ míng zì yā dī yì diǎn

And made my name a little smaller

學會點頭說好

xué huì diǎn tóu shuō hǎo

I learned to nod and say yes

把火氣嚥下去先

bǎ huǒ qì yàn xià qù xiān

And swallow my anger first

我把口音收好

wǒ bǎ kǒu yīn shōu hǎo

I tucked my accent away

把眼神也收好

bǎ yǎn shén yě shōu hǎo

And hid my gaze as well

像把一隻舊殼

xiàng bǎ yī zhī jiù ké

Like taking an old shell

擦得像新的一樣

cā de xiàng xīn de yī yàng

And polishing it until it looks new

以為門一關

yǐ wéi mén yī guān

I thought once the door closed

就能把風關在外面

jiù néng bǎ fēng guān zài wài miàn

It could keep the wind outside

以為換張臉

yǐ wéi huàn zhāng liǎn

I thought wearing another face

就能輕一點

jiù néng qīng yì diǎn

Would make me feel a little lighter

可鞋底的灰

kě xié dǐ de huī

But the dust beneath my shoes

還是同一條街

hái shì tóng yī tiáo jiē

Still comes from the same street

我跑了很遠

wǒ pǎo le hěn yuǎn

I ran a very long way

還是累

hái shì lèi

And I am still tired

換個殼吧，換個殼吧

huàn gè ké ba， huàn gè ké ba

Change the shell, change the shell

換到誰都認不出我

huàn dào shuí dōu rèn bù chū wǒ

Change until no one can recognize me

換個殼吧，換個殼吧

huàn gè ké ba， huàn gè ké ba

Change the shell, change the shell

可疲憊還跟著我

kě pí bèi hái gēn zhe wǒ

But the exhaustion still follows me

換個殼吧，換個殼吧

huàn gè ké ba， huàn gè ké ba

Change the shell, change the shell

把疼痛藏進笑的角落

bǎ téng tòng cáng jìn xiào de jiǎo luò

Hide the pain in the corners of a smile

換個殼吧，換個殼吧

huàn gè ké ba， huàn gè ké ba

Change the shell, change the shell

牢籠只是換了鎖

láo lóng zhǐ shì huàn le suǒ

The cage has only changed its lock

我搬到另一座城

wǒ bān dào lìng yī zuò chéng

I moved to another city

把地圖撕成兩半

bǎ dì tú sī chéng liǎng bàn

And tore the map in half

新樓很高

xīn lóu hěn gāo

The new towers are tall

風也很冷，照樣晚

fēng yě hěn lěng， zhào yàng wǎn

The wind is cold, and night still comes

我換了朋友圈

wǒ huàn le péng yǒu quān

I changed my circle of friends

換了愛說的話

huàn le ài shuō de huà

And changed the things I like to say

連喜歡都學著

lián xǐ huān dōu xué zhe

I even learned to make what I love

說得更像別人啊

shuō de gèng xiàng bié rén a

Sound more like everyone else

我穿過新的門

wǒ chuān guò xīn de mén

I walked through a new door

卻看見舊的自己

què kàn jiàn jiù de zì jǐ

But saw my old self

站在玻璃裡

zhàn zài bō lí lǐ

Standing inside the glass

還是那副表情

hái shì nà fù biǎo qíng

Still wearing the same expression

以為換張床

yǐ wéi huàn zhāng chuáng

I thought a different bed

夢就會軟一點

mèng jiù huì ruǎn yì diǎn

Would make my dreams a little gentler

以為走得遠

yǐ wéi zǒu de yuǎn

I thought walking far enough

心就會慢一點

xīn jiù huì màn yì diǎn

Would make my heart slow down a little

可凌晨那陣空

kě líng chén nà zhèn kōng

But that emptiness before dawn

還是準時來

hái shì zhǔn shí lái

Still arrives right on time

我躲到哪兒

wǒ duǒ dào nǎ ér

Wherever I hide

它都在

tā dōu zài

It is always there

換個殼吧，換個殼吧

huàn gè ké ba， huàn gè ké ba

Change the shell, change the shell

換到誰都認不出我

huàn dào shuí dōu rèn bù chū wǒ

Change until no one can recognize me

換個殼吧，換個殼吧

huàn gè ké ba， huàn gè ké ba

Change the shell, change the shell

可疲憊還跟著我

kě pí bèi hái gēn zhe wǒ

But the exhaustion still follows me

換個殼吧，換個殼吧

huàn gè ké ba， huàn gè ké ba

Change the shell, change the shell

把疼痛藏進笑的角落

bǎ téng tòng cáng jìn xiào de jiǎo luò

Hide the pain in the corners of a smile

換個殼吧，換個殼吧

huàn gè ké ba， huàn gè ké ba

Change the shell, change the shell

牢籠只是換了鎖

láo lóng zhǐ shì huàn le suǒ

The cage has only changed its lock

後來我才懂

hòu lái wǒ cái dǒng

Only later did I understand

不是每扇門都通向外面

bú shì měi shàn mén dōu tōng xiàng wài miàn

Not every door leads outside

不是每次逃

bú shì měi cì táo

Not every escape

都算贏一遍

dōu suàn yíng yī biàn

Counts as another victory

也許要先學會

yě xǔ yào xiān xué huì

Maybe I first have to learn

不把自己賣給明天

bù bǎ zì jǐ mài gěi míng tiān

Not to sell myself to tomorrow

不再把沉默

bù zài bǎ chén mò

And no longer treat silence

當成體面

dàng chéng tǐ miàn

As a form of dignity

換個殼吧，換個殼吧

huàn gè ké ba， huàn gè ké ba

Change the shell, change the shell

換到誰都認不出我

huàn dào shuí dōu rèn bù chū wǒ

Change until no one can recognize me

換個殼吧，換個殼吧

huàn gè ké ba， huàn gè ké ba

Change the shell, change the shell

可疲憊還跟著我

kě pí bèi hái gēn zhe wǒ

But the exhaustion still follows me

換個殼吧，換個殼吧

huàn gè ké ba， huàn gè ké ba

Change the shell, change the shell

把疼痛藏進笑的角落

bǎ téng tòng cáng jìn xiào de jiǎo luò

Hide the pain in the corners of a smile

換個殼吧，換個殼吧

huàn gè ké ba， huàn gè ké ba

Change the shell, change the shell

先換我看世界的眼

xiān huàn wǒ kàn shì jiè de yǎn

First change the eyes through which I see the world

換個殼吧，換個殼吧

huàn gè ké ba， huàn gè ké ba

Change the shell, change the shell

我還會疼，但我不躲

wǒ hái huì téng， dàn wǒ bù duǒ

I will still hurt, but I will not hide

換個殼吧，換個殼吧

huàn gè ké ba， huàn gè ké ba

Change the shell, change the shell

這次不再把自己丟了

zhè cì bù zài bǎ zì jǐ diū le

This time I will not lose myself again
