Lyrics &Music by Dong Yin
词曲:东音
I was a stone
我是一块石头
Wind of emotions cracked my surface
情绪的风吹裂了我的表面
Rain of thoughts drilled holes inside me
念头的雨在体内凿出孔洞
Greed was moss crawling up my side
贪念是青苔爬满我的侧面
Resentment was ivy cutting into my lines
怨念是藤蔓勒进我的纹理
I thought that was who I am
我以为那就是我
Shaped by weather shaped by rain
被风雨塑造被雨水打磨
Someone else's chisel on my skin
别人的凿子刻在我的皮肤上
Carving names I didn't claim
刻着我不曾认领的名字
Then I picked up the broken pieces on the ground
然后我捡起地上散落的碎石
Saw a light inside the stone deep down
看见石头深处有光透出
I was never the carved
我从来不是被雕刻的那一个
I was holding the blade all along
原来刻刀一直在我手中
I'm gonna sculpt myself again
我要重新雕刻自己
Chip away everything that I am not
凿掉所有不是我的部分
Five elements five knives in my hand
五大元素五把刻刀在手
Every cut lets the light out
每一刀都让光透出来
Even the dust falling down is gold
连落下的碎屑都是金色
From a stone to a sculpture
从顽石到雕塑
Not more beautiful just more true
不是更美而是更真
Michelangelo said he just removed what wasn't there
米开朗基罗说他只是去掉多余的部分
I'm just removing everything that isn't me
我也只是去掉一切不是我的
They used to polish me for smoothness
他们曾将我打磨光滑
I bent for every hand that touched
我迎合每一只抚摸的手
They used to break me left me jagged
他们也曾砸碎我留下锋利的缺口
I cut them back I cut myself
我刺伤别人也刺伤自己
Now I hold the blade steady
如今我稳稳握住刻刀
No more pleasing no more war
不再讨好不再对抗
Greed is the extra curve I shave it off
贪念是多余的弧度我削平它
Resentment is the deepest cut I fill it up
怨念是最深的刻痕我填平它
Stroke by stroke back to my original form
一刀一刀回到最初的轮廓
I carve away the pleasing carve away the pain
我刻掉讨好刻掉痛苦
Carve away everything that made me a slave
刻掉所有让我沦为奴隶的东西
The dust falls like yesterday's snow
碎屑落下像昨日的雪
And underneath it's jade
而下面是玉
I'm gonna sculpt myself again
我要重新雕刻自己
Chip away everything that I am not
凿掉所有不是我的部分
Five elements five knives in my hand
五大元素五把刻刀在手
Every cut lets the light out
每一刀都让光透出来
Even the dust falling down is gold
连落下的碎屑都是金色
From a stone to a sculpture
从顽石到雕塑
Not more beautiful just more true
不是更美而是更真
Michelangelo said he just removed what wasn't there
米开朗基罗说他只是去掉多余的部分
I'm just removing everything that isn't me
我也只是去掉一切不是我的
Awareness is the blade awakening is the light
觉知是刻刀觉醒是光
Discipline's the hand and wisdom is the eye
自律是手智慧是眼
I sculpt myself and see myself
我雕刻自己也看见自己
Every cut goes just deep enough
每一刀都深浅刚好
Success is dust failure is dust
成功是尘失败是尘
Sweep it clean leave nothing behind
扫干净不留痕迹
Freedom isn't turning back to senseless stone
自由不是变回无感的石头
It's every cut I choose it I mean it
而是每一刀我选择我心甘情愿
I finally reached the deepest part of me
我终于刻到最深的那个自己
No blade marks no shine no glory
没有刀痕没有光泽没有荣耀
Just untouched stone the original
只是一块未经雕琢的原石
With ancient starlight sealed inside
里面封着远古的星光
I am the blade I am the stone
我是刻刀也是石头
I am the dust I am the sculpture
我是碎屑也是雕塑
Nothing changed except the weight
什么都没变除了重量
Turns out heavy and light
原来轻与重
Is just one cut away
只差一刀
The moment I let go
在我放手的那一刻
