Xiao Zhan – 我们 lyrics English translation

(Verse 1)
In a world without people,
Would flowers bloom more bright?
In a world without deception,
Would we sleep through the night?

Maybe we’ve grown too used to the way things are,
That no one even notices from afar.

(Verse 2)
A kind soul who fails the most
Turns back into a cave-dwelling ghost.
Perhaps this thing called civilization is cruel by design—
You must reveal your true self, just to cross the line,
To hurt more deeply, to feel the sting.
Trying not to argue feels like the sincerest thing.
After crossing endless, vast, and wild terrain,
Tell me—can you see us through the rain?

(Verse 3)
In a world without desire,
Would our hearts beat with a stronger fire?
In a world without the truth,
Would life feel more pure in our youth?

Maybe we’ve grown too used to the way things are,
That no one even notices from afar.

(Verse 4)
A kind soul who fails the most
Turns back into a cave-dwelling ghost.
Perhaps this thing called civilization is cruel by design—
You must reveal your true self, just to cross the line,
To hurt more deeply, to feel the sting.
Trying not to argue feels like the sincerest thing.
After crossing endless, vast, and wild terrain,
Tell me—can you see us through the rain?

(Outro)
Can you see us?
Can you see us now?
