CACTUS
Lücy • From “LÜCY”
CACTUS Lyrics Translation (from “LÜCY”)
The songwriter describes herself as a cactus, wanting to stay perfectly still on the road. She uses the oasis as a metaphor for a person who provides comfort and a safe place to breathe again.
Xiang shui le ni wangle qingxingYou’ve fallen asleep, forgetting to wake up.
Xiang shui le de ni zai mengli zaoqiThe sleeping you wakes up early in your dreams.
Xiang shui le ni wangle zijiYou’ve fallen asleep, forgetting who you are.
Xiang shui le de ni ba zuotian diuqiThe sleeping you throws away yesterday.
Chasing after a dreamChasing after a dream.
Ba mingtian diuqiThrowing away tomorrow.
Chasing after a dreamChasing after a dream.
Xiang shui le ni wangle qingxingYou’ve fallen asleep, forgetting to wake up.
Xiang shui le de ni zai mengli zaoqiThe sleeping you wakes up early in your dreams.
Xiang shui le ni wangle zijiYou’ve fallen asleep, forgetting who you are.
Xiang shui le de ni ba zuotian diuqiThe sleeping you throws away yesterday.
Chasing after a dreamChasing after a dream.
Ba mingtian diuqiThrowing away tomorrow.
Chasing after a dreamChasing after a dream.
Dang yike xianrenzhang xiangyao jingzhi zai malushangI am like a cactus wanting to stay perfectly still on the road.
Dang yike xianrenzhang manman xiguan shenshang de shangI am like a cactus slowly getting used to the scars on my body.
Xiang shui le ni haipa qingxingYou’ve fallen asleep, afraid of waking up.
Xiang shui le de ni bu xihuan zaoqiThe sleeping you doesn’t like waking up early.
Xiang shui le ni wangle zijiYou’ve fallen asleep, forgetting who you are.
Xiang shui le de ni ba mingtian diuqiThe sleeping you throws away tomorrow.
Chasing after a dreamChasing after a dream.
Ba zuotian diuqiThrowing away yesterday.
