Lyrics in Pinyin/Mandarin/English of “Freedom”
Měi gè rén dōu quē fá shén me
每个人都缺乏什么
Everyone is lacking something
Wǒ men cái huì shùn jiān jiù bù kuài lè
我们才会瞬间就不快乐
That’s why we become unhappy in an instant
Dān chún hěn nán bāo fú hěn duō
单纯很难 包袱很多
Innocence is hard, burdens are many
Yǐ jīng hěn yǒng gǎn hái shì nán guò
已经很勇敢 还是难过
Already so brave, yet still sad
Xǔ duō shì qíng dōu yǒu xuǎn zé
许多事情都有选择
Many things have alternatives
Zhǐ shì wǎng wǎng shì hòu wǒ cái dǒng dé
只是往往事后我才懂得
But I often only understand afterwards
Qíng xù hěn fán shuō huà hěn chōng
情绪很烦 说话很冲
Emotions are messy, words come out harsh
Rén hé rén de gōu tōng yǒu shí hou méi yǒu yòng
人和人的沟通 有时候没有用
Sometimes communication between people is useless
Huò xǔ zhǐ yǒu nǐ dǒng dé wǒ
或许只有你 懂得我
Perhaps only you understand me
Suǒ yǐ nǐ méi táo tuō
所以你没逃脱
That’s why you didn’t escape
Yī biān zài lèi liú yī biān jǐn bào wǒ
一边在泪流 一边紧抱我
Holding me tight while shedding tears
Xiǎo shēng de shuō duō me ài wǒ
小声地说 多么爱我
Whispering how much you love me
Zhǐ yǒu nǐ dǒng dé wǒ
只有你 懂得我
Only you understand me
Jiù xiàng bèi kùn zhù de yě shòu

Like a trapped wild beast
Zài mó tiān dà lóu kě qiú zì yóu
在摩天大楼 渴求 自由
Yearning for freedom in skyscrapers
Yī lù xiù zhe zhuī zhe měi mèng
一路嗅着追着美梦
Chasing dreams all the way
Pá shàng wū dǐng yì wài diē dé hǎo zhòng
爬上屋顶意外跌得好重
Climbing rooftops only to fall hard
Bù jué dé tòng shì jué dé kōng
不觉得痛 是觉得空
Not feeling pain, just emptiness
Chéng shì de huàn yǐng yǒu qiān bǎi zhǒng
城市的幻影 有千百种
The city’s illusions come in countless forms
Jiù suàn ài yě huì biàn lěng de
就算爱也会变冷的
Even love can grow cold
Kě shì xiàn zài bào de nǐ shì nuǎn de
可是现在抱的你是暖的
But the you I’m holding now is warm
Wǒ bù xiǎo dé wǒ bù shě dé
我不晓得 我不舍得
I don’t know, I can’t bear

To give up this moment for future uncertainties
