Song: 六月飛霜 (Luk yut fei seung)


六月飞霜

当 未惯静默静得听到心跳竟加倍紧张
未信自在在于天生天养 难以弱胜强 杀入战场

最终 习惯为着猎取一身盔甲竟不怕损伤
为了梦幻日子得到保障 用恶梦结账
乌托邦 贩卖血汗变栋梁 [谁被谁越抬越上]
乌托邦 那猎物也是猎人 踏破了树林
浮在半空寄生货柜箱

谁明白这异象
六月飞霜 个个笑得哀伤
谁又会鉴定谁正常 不知替哪个着想
欲求未满 剩下砒霜 当菜汁分享
犹如吞仙丹上月亮 谁有胆设想这世间下场

当 习惯附和大家讲的真理都得到奖赏
未惯十字路口挑选方向 离队要胆量 拒绝跳墙
一辈子 血汗注入拍卖场 [谁被谁越抬越上]
一辈子 价值像泡沫上扬 誓与天较量
埋下理想栽种幻想

谁明白这异象
六月飞霜 个个笑得哀伤
谁又会鉴定谁正常 不知替哪个着想
欲求未满 剩下砒霜 当菜汁分享
犹如吞仙丹上月亮 谁有胆设想这世间下场

即使你跟我比斗已极平常
嚣张得敢与天格斗 才是榜样
开天辟地之歌 轰轰烈烈 大合唱
如何凭人力捆绑一刹夕阳
如何凭财力去扭转天亮 请拍掌

习惯了这异象 谁又在叫嚷
六月飞霜 世界怪得夸张
谁又去决定谁正常 不知哪个有异想
未曾尽兴 剩下砒霜 当配方分享
谁来斗胆讲仙丹会断肠 谁有胆去相信过激立场
人人一把口一百种真相 谁说得漂亮

最可笑的 喊亦正常
最悲壮的 笑亦正常
哪一个可 发育正常


Snowstorm in June

When not used to silence, upon hearing heartbeat the angst multiplies
Does not believe that freedom comes from growing naturally; hard to beat the strong with the weak; rush into the battlefield

At last, for hunting for a suit of armour one gets used to injury
For the assurance of the fantasies of a better life, the bill is payed with nightmares
Utopia; sell blood and sweat and become pillars [Who is being raised higher and higher?]
Utopia; the prey is the predator; steps wear out the forest
Floating aloft, inhabiting containers

Who would understand this anomaly?
Snowstorm in June*; everyone laughs sadly
Who would judge who’s normal? Whom should be thought for?
Desires not satisfied; leftover arsenic shared like food
Like swallowing the elixir and flying to the moon; who dares think of how this society results?

When used to being awarded for concurring on the “truth” everyone says
And not used to choosing directions on a crossroads, it takes guts to leave the pack and refuse to jump off the wall
For a whole life, blood and sweat is auctioned [Who is being raised higher and higher?]
For a whole life, values appreciate like a bubble; vow to wage war on the heavens
Bury aspirations and plant fantasies

Who would understand this anomaly?
Snowstorm in June; everyone laughs sadly
Who would judge who’s normal? Whom should be thought for?
Desires not satisfied; leftover arsenic shared like food
Like swallowing the elixir and flying to the moon; who dares think of how this society results?

Although it’s extremely common for you and I to battle
To be so arrogant to fight the heavens, now that’s a good model
The song of Genesis is sung in unison with splendor
How to bind the setting sun with manpower?
How to switch day and night with capital?
Please, applaud!

Used to this anomaly, who would be screaming?
Snowstorm in June; the world is ridiculously strange
Who would decide who’s normal? Who would think differently?
Insufficient ecstasy; leftover arsenic shared like a recipe
Who dares say that the elixir kills? Who dares believe in radical viewpoints?
Everyone has a mouth, and there are hundreds of versions of truth; who presents it beautifully?

At the most amusing, it’s normal to cry
At the most solemn, it’s normal to laugh
Who can develop normally?

*Snowstorm in June (六月飛霜) is a Chinese saying signifying widespread unjust in a society. In Chinese fables, snow will fall in the middle of summer when there is much social injustice.


Frost in June (liu yue fei shuan)

When not used to silence, hearing heart beat doubles up tension
Never believed growing up naturally can bring freedom
Hard to defeat the strong by the weak
Going to the battle field

Ultimately used to the hunting for armors, to one’s surprise was not afraid to be injured
Paying bills by nightmares in order to get insurance covered on dreams of good days
Utopia
Selling sweat and blood to become the foundation
[Who is helping who to gain power?]
Utopia
That prey is also a hunter, wearing out the woods
Floating in the mid-air, parasitizing the containers

Who understood the heteromorphism
Frost in June
All of them smile sadly
Who would identify who is normal
Do not know whom we should thought for
Desires not fulfilled, sharing Arsenic as if juice
Envisaged as swallow the elixir of life, going to the Moon {*1}
Who have had the guts to think of such an end for the world

When used to getting awards when going along with the “truth” that everybody is saying;
Not used to choosing a direction at crossroads,
(Guts is needed to leave the team)
Refuse to jump off the wall
Lifetime
An auction of blood and sweat
[Who is helping who to gain power?]
Lifetime
Values rise up like bubbles, made an oath to compare with god
Burying aspirations, planting fantasies

Who understood the heteromorphism
Frost in June
All of them smile sadly
Who would identify who is normal
Do not know whom we should thought for
Desires not fulfilled, sharing Arsenic as if juice
Envisaged as swallow the elixir of life, going to the Moon
Who have had the guts to think of such an end for the world

Even if you compete with me as always, dare to fight god arrogantly is the leader
Sing the song of Genesis dynamically in chorus {*2}
How to bind the sunset with man power
How to switch daylight by economic statics
Please applaud

Used to the heteromorphism
Who is once again groaning? {*3}
Frost in June
The world is just ridiculous
Who would identify who is normal
Doesn’t know who has a second thought
Not having enough fun, sharing Arsenic as if a recipe
Who dare to say that the elixir of life can kill?
Who have the guts to believe in extreme positions?
Everybody has got only one mouth but there’s 100 truths said
It is just the matter of who is able to put it in a nice way

The most absurd thing is that, it is normal to cry
The most solemn and stirring thing is that, it is normal to laugh
Who can then develop normally?

Author’s comments:
{1} reference to Legend of Chang-Er, the Moon Goddess

{2} 開天闢地 literally means opening of heaven, splitting of earth, symbolize the creation of world, opening up opportunities, with the ref. to the Legend of Pan Ku

{3} 叫嚷 literally means howl, shout. I guess in such a context, groan/ moan would be better since there’s such a depression within the lyrics.
