英语歌词：
I hear this old story before
我也听过这老故事
If people keep appealing for the metaphors
要是人们一直被暗喻吸引
Don't leave much up to the imagination '
那也别留下过多空想
So I ' wanna give this imagery back
我也来用点修辞，比喻比喻
No it just ain't so easy like that
不，没那么简单
So ' I turn the page and read the story again
我又翻过页，重温这故事
And again and again
一遍又一遍
It just seems the same ' with a diff. name
内容都差不多，换换标题罢了
We're breaking and rebuilding

The moments just combusting
这几瞬，不过是无谓地燃烧
Feel certain but we'll never never know
