Anaesthesia (track 1)

song: Zhou Feng Ling/lyrics: Lin Xi

Perfection, what perfection?
You don't dare pursue it, how can I pursue it?
I wish to do what I want
You don't oppose it, who dares oppose it?

It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter
Anaesthesize my conscious comprehension
It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter
Anaesthesize my every feeling

Even if happiness causes sadness
You wouldn't be ashamed
I wouldn't be regretful
If the raucous has been silenced
Let me sleep well
Sleep well
You and I
Will always reach the same outcome
If everything becomes insipid
I don't mind giving up halfway

Sadness, from whence came sadness?
I wouldn't, why would I?
Drunk, I want to get drunk
Even if it's a glass of water

You're Happy, so I'm Happy (track 2)

song: Zhang Ya Dong/lyrics: Lin Xi

Your eyebrows unknit, so I'm happy
Your eyes turn red, my sky turns grey

oh...Heaven knows
Since it's been said "You're happy, so I'm happy"
Roses have bloomed
What more do I want?

Supplicated without gain, without gain
Heaven-made hard to come by
Happiness and anger, despair and joy
Let me repeat your mistakes once again

Your hair is wet, and so I'm hot
You feel tired, so I go to sleep

oh...Heaven knows
I don't ask why
My heart's at peace

Bored (track 3)

song: Zhang Ya Dong/lyrics: Lin Xi

Who says loving one who doesn't come home will only result in an endless wait?
Is it that no matter who one loves, one must forever ask for security?
~oh-woh~ Is there really no other script?
No wonder people always speak of "forever"

Who says when loving a person one must love his soul?
Otherwise it would sound insincere
Is it that no matter who one loves, one must forever ask for security?
~oh-woh~ I really want to be that naive
Not possible; is there really no other possibility?
How can this be?

I don't want security; I don't want to make sacrifices
I don't want security; don't expect me to love until I'm covered with wounds
I'm not afraid to land myself in a predicament
Is it possible to leave everything to whim?

Amusement Park (track 4)

song: Cocteau Twins/lyrics: Lin Xi

The cigarette is no longer fragrant, how can it be smoked?
The lights are no longer bright, how can I see the photos?
That double bed cannot resolve too many desires

I might as well find a place where I want to go
There's no need to think about it, a happy place...amusement park

Walking about wide streets and narrow alleys, I can only hear shouting
I raise my head to look at the moon, couldn't find a skylight
Is there a place where I want to go?
There's no need to wander about aimlessly...a place of amusement

I might as well find a place where I want to go
There's no need to think about it, a happy place

Listen; an out-of-tune voice
Look; song and dance galore
Come; to heaven and take a look
Come; go crazy, go crazy

Mortal World (track 5)

song: Miyuki Nakajima/lyrics: Lin Xi

The sky may not be beautiful after wind and rain
A sunny sky doesn't necessarily have a rainbow
So your innocent look doesn't mean you're ignorant

Not all relationships have a beginning and an end
The brink of loneliness may not be filled with dread
But life can never avoid the first pain

Hope your eyes will only see smiles
Hope that every tear you shed will be moving
Hope that your dreams will not be unfulfilled

The mortal world, if it's worth praising
It's because your presence makes it lively
Sky and earth are vast
The world is more somnolent than you think
I don't want to deceive you any longer
Hope you will understand
Hope you will know when to go and when to follow

I Don't Want to be Like This Either (track 6)

song: Alex San/lyrics: Lin Xi

All of a sudden, without a reason; given more love, still not satisfied
Thinking of your eyes, thinking 'till I'm in a daze
Unconsciously I am poisoned
All of a sudden, I really need protection
If the world ends in a flash
If you pull out, I'm only saying "if"

It's not that I don't understand; I wanted to see too clearly
Instead, your face became more unclear
The more I care about a person, the more carefully I hold him
Instead, I can't even hold onto one kiss

I don't want to be like this either
To and fro
In any case, everyone will be lonely in the end
Your sweetness becomes my pain
Will leaving you help?

I don't want to be like this either
Up and down
In any case, all relationships are lonely
I watch love become a burden
Blame it all on my desire for your protection

Making A Fuss (track 7)

song: Clayton Cheung/lyrics: Lin Xi

I read this, read that, to see which story is the best
And I can sing this, sing that, and sing forever
And I can also flip around, to see which programme is most lively
If I still feel bored, I can take a nap

Looking at the sunrise and sunset is no big deal
Making mountains out of molehills during sad seasons I wouldn't do
It's not that I have no escape oh.....oh....

I look at this, look at that, to see which photo is the best
You and I clap around, clap 'till our faces grow old
If one doesn't look for trouble, there's nothing worth mourning
You and I love around, is it because we want to be part of the fun?

Looking at the sunrise and sunset is no big deal
Making mountains out of molehills during sad seasons I wouldn't do
At least we're not incurable, not incurable
Enjoying ourselves together, that's unbelievable
Where else can I find a lifelong companion like you?

Let us dance around, we should laugh a lot oh.....
Unbelievable, unbelievable

Reminiscence (track 8)

song: Cocteau Twins/lyrics: Wyman Wong

I close the room filled with insufficient oxygen
Light a cigarette and reminisce your breathing
Search my brain for unresolved disagreements
Rebuff your questions to the empty air
Putting off every time, a real reunion
I lock myself up, wishing for news of you
Self-contentedly
Rejected charm, doesn't leave a mark
I'm enjoying my distance from you

Perhaps I like to reminisce you
More than I like seeing you
Perhaps I like to imagine you
More than I like possessing you

I close the room filled with insufficient oxygen
Light a cigarette and reminisce your breathing
Scatter riddles occasionally about the floor
Rebuff your questions to the empty air
Putting off every time, a real reunion
I lock myself up, wishing for news of you
Going through time and again
Sweetly suspicious
Pretending to be mysterious
So as to prolong your curiosity

Perhaps I like to reminisce you
More than I like seeing you
Perhaps I like to imagine you
I don't need to hold you tight
Ah....

Perhaps I like to reminisce you
I've seen you many times
Perhaps I like to imagine you
I cannot bear [the prospect of] being with you for real

Into the Fire (track 9)

song: Chen Xiao Xia/lyrics: Yao Ruo Long

I don't care how many people await my embrace
I only urgently want your smile
Self-esteem flung to a corner
I take out all my virtues
You still won't look, you still don't have the desire

Every day, there's a dream dying in the heart
I scream loudly at myself
One who is too faithful to emotion will have trouble thinking clearly
I'm in so much pain I want to cry, yet I smile foolishly

To love like a moth lunges into fire is a kind of decadence
Who would want to treat torture as enjoyment every day?
Yet sacrificing for love
Makes me feel that I'm proud, I'm noble

To love like a moth lunges into fire is very painful
I only believe that people will always be moved
Why can't you love me
As deeply as I love you?
Why, why?

Cloud's Edge (track 10)

song: Li Zheng Fan/lyrics: Huang Gui Lan

Letting thoughts go free
Soaring boundlessly
Carrying my happy fantasies
Passing through mountains, brushing past oceans
My world has no boundaries

So much love
Follow a confused path
Looking on, my face fills with dread
True feelings sink in, mingling amongst the sea of people
The heart is weary, yet sorrow never ends

Who will stroll with me to the cloud's edge?
[Let us] settle down somewhere close to the sun
We could block our ears and not listen to the world's noisy goings-on
I want to be truly at ease

I'll willingly stroll with you to the cloud's edge
The beautiful firmament opens itself to us
Don't let your heart be defiled
I want a kind of unsullied love
