Genius English Translations
Cö shu Nie - asphyxia (English Translation)
[Intro]
A child trapped in the night
Stopped breathing without expression
[Verse 1]
「There's nothing we can do about any of this
We're drowning in a world we can't change
Open your eyes, the shadows sink
But no matter how it seems right now, this is reality
[Chorus]
What is freedom? I selfishly hoped
That the pain you gave to me might be love
I have no need
For this Schadenfreude that keeps me down
I've grown tired of its heavy-handed drama
And discord aesthetic
[Bridge]
How long can you keep saying
That things are unfair or hopeless?
How much giving up until you're satisfied?
It's laughable
[Chorus]
Even broken, I live on
My ending credit roll betrays all expectation
With a heart that's been broken again and again
I keep on
Each time I breathe, my body continues to rust
I just need to accept the parts of me that fall away as I fight on」
[Outro]
Her face unresponsive to her elegy
She starts breathing in the dead of night
