Madhouse

《Madhouse》 疯人院 Composer: Hua Chenyu Lyricist: Lyu Yiqiu Arranger: Bernard Zheng/Hua Chenyu Program: Bernard Zheng After I am utterly destroyed once more All becomes purer That shattered feeling I know After I escape once more Escape the prison of the soul That feeling of breaking free I know Quietly savoring, although there is only A fleeting moment of freedom In the confining room. It's 2:30 am I muster up courage like Don Quixote and declare war loudly to the air in front of me When suppression is revealed Welcome to the wild celebrations Madness needs no compliments Leave all hypocrisy till Judgement Day Like the most Baroque rhythm amongst obstinate arts I wanna know, woh I wanna know, woh How could my extremity be saved after being infected by passion? I wanna know, woh I wanna know, woh On the lunch plate, two flies are well dressed With their very raucous voices, they debate their proof of existence A backdrop of white time-space, the same repetitive arguments This fleeting scene is so familiar Maybe everything before the eyes is just an illusion Amid chaotic thoughts, the most irrational of them all I wanna know, woh I wanna know, woh How to mingle with the mainstream in a mad world? I wanna know, woh I wanna know, woh oh After I am utterly destroyed once more All becomes purer Those shattered feelings I know, woo, oh, oh After I escape again Escape the prison of the soul The feeling of breaking free I know I will try Calmly drowning In the gentleness of darkness Very meticulously playing the melancholic clown Standing in a corner Enjoying a fleeting moment of freedom MAMA When clamor turns into a mime, the scene becomes a bit strange Like the dangerous silence in the jungle Uncovering anxious bodies I follow the trajectory of time trying to solve the puzzles myself Those ignored and missed evidences All point to the ignorant trap of words How vicious are the beasts in a subjective world? I wanna know, woh I wanna know, woh How could I escape after being hunted? I wanna know, woh I wanna know, woh If a dosage could be taken to extend the madness I could ignore all shunnings and accusations Just indulge in completely insane words and phrases This problem of relativity would follow the logic of Einstein The conflict is almost suffocating during half-asleep, half-awake nights All future unknowns will continue to make me conscious of this feeling I don't want to know I don't want to know I don't want to know After I am utterly destroyed once more All becomes purer Those shattered feelings I know, woo ho ho After I escape again Escape the prison of the soul That feeling of breaking free I know I will try Calmly drowning In the gentleness of darkness Very meticulously playing the melancholic clown Standing in the corner Enjoying a fleeting moment of freedom To me It is so strange There are too many restraints and possibilities Let me endure the process of breaking down Let me be reborn After I am utterly destroyed again Everything becomes purer This feeling of wild passions I understand it just now After I escape again (That moment) is just ushered in The freedom I am yearning for After escaping the madness Ohh, from the beginning Till eternity Translated by Hua Chenyu English Subs
