∮5 碎片 Shards/Shattered Pieces - 梁心頤 Lara

碎片 Shards by 梁心頤 Lara



Original Chinese lyrics and my English translation/interpretation of the lyrics:


碎片 - 梁心
Lyrics/作詞:梁心頤
Composer/作曲:張傑

感情像房子 用故事建立

Relationships are like houses, built from stories
隨著細節而印上了含義
Finding meaning through the little things
一層一層剝開我的心 地基就是你
Peeling the layers of my heart, the core is you 
每個角落都有愛住過的痕跡
In every nook and cranny you can find traces of love's lingering presence

我們像太靠桌邊的玻璃瓶
We are like glass bottles too close to the table ledge
輕輕一碰就失去平衡著地
A little bump will cause it to lose balance and fall
再堅固的形狀一瞬間成為了曾經
Even the strongest shape will instantly become the past
原來分手比想像中還更容易
Breaking up is easier than expected

回憶是數不清的隱形碎片

Memories are countless invisible shards
割進身體最脆弱那個房間
Cutting into the body's most fragile room
就連自己都沒察覺
Don't even detect it yourself
為何不經意在失血
Losing blood without realising
癒合只是表面
Only the surface healed


一隻黑襪子 一張無殼CD
A single black sock, a single caseless CD
都是你離開了的反覆提醒
Are constant reminders of your absence
什麼時候才能夠呼吸 沒你的空氣
When can I start breathing air without you 
什麼時候才能有自由的平靜
When can I enjoy the freedom of serenity 

回憶是數不清的隱形碎片
Memories are countless invisible shards

割進身體最脆弱那個房間
Cutting into the body's most fragile room
就連自己都沒察覺
Don't even detect it yourself
為何不經意在失血
Losing blood without realising
癒合只是表面
Only the surface healed

回憶是數不清的隱形碎片

Memories are countless invisible shards
割進身體最脆弱那個房間
Cutting into the body's most fragile room
以為自己早已復原
Thought I had recovered
為何不時還會滲血
Why does blood still sometimes seep through
癒合只是表面
Only the surface healed 

回憶是數不清的隱形碎片
Memories are countless invisible shards
割進身體最脆弱那個房間
Cutting into the body's most fragile room
數不清的隱形碎片
Countless invisible shards

Slowly, I am removing the broken shards and piecing it together to form a jar called the past.
Like a shattered glass you will never be able to piece it together perfectly like how it was before.
The bigger and protruding pieces have been removed, what remains is the little shards.
Specific little movement triggers the small shards to cause pain that thankfully is less than what their larger counterparts caused...

Like scabs that form on wounds, the heart will build a thick wall to protect itself from allowing the remaining shards to cause further damage.

This new heart somehow manages to have blood pumping through it again, there is hope... 
But its hard to trust... to place your heart inside another jar and expose it to the possibility of being dropped and shattered again...

What to do?...
