We became the parade on the streets that we once cleaned
我們在曾經打掃過的街道上行軍
Expendable soldiers smiling at anything
微笑著被戰爭消耗殆盡
Raised on a feeling our lives would have meaning eventually
死得其所的歸屬感心中慢慢升起
We were once the answer and then you discover
我們曾經苦苦追尋答案
You're actually just one thing after another
直到你發現自己只是茫茫人海中的一粟
And what was the question and why was the lesson so deafening?
當初追尋的究竟是什麼，為何此刻的教訓如此殘酷？
This is all that matters now
答案昭然若揭
And that was all that happened anyhow
我們只是無法逃脫命運的捉弄
You can look back but don't stare
回顧往事但別淪陷其中
Maybe I can love you out of there
也許我會愛上你遠去的背影
And when I went away what I forgot to say
當我漸行漸遠卻始終未曾記起要說
Was all I had to say:
那八字箴言
Eight letters, three words, one meaning
八字，三詞，一意的箴言
And outside forces didn't make it easy
抵不過外界重重施壓
So I thought I'd go before you leave me
在你轉身前我便選擇了暗自離開
Self -preservation was no explanation for anything
自我保護並不是什麼好的藉口
But the truth is more than we'll ever comprehend
真相也遠沒有想像中簡單
I'm just starting to understand, my friend
時過境遷我開始明白，我的朋友
All of that distance, cause I fell in love with the enemy
所有的隔閡，只因我與敵人墜入愛河
This is all that matters now
答案昭然若揭
And that was all that happened anyhow
我們只是無法逃脫命運的捉弄
You can look back but don't stare
回顧往事但別淪陷其中
Maybe I can love you out of there
也許我會愛上你模糊的樣子

當我漸行漸遠卻始終未曾記起要說

最終我們在重逢在無人之地
Just footprints in the sand

We meet on no man's land, at last
編織曾經的夢，在這無人之地
