Emperor's New Clothes
皇帝的新衣 (Original Mandarin)
VERSE 1
走在欢呼雀跃人群的中间
Your majesty 一丝不挂的身体
隐形的新衣 据说很美丽
有些人甚至淌下感动的泪滴
Everybody's gonna see what they wanna see
因为内心无名的恐惧
胡言乱语 诚挚地自欺
因为谎言比真相更美丽
PRE-CHORUS
uh uh 比真相更美丽
uh uh 比真相更美丽
CHORUS
这个世界没有秘密
只有皇帝的新衣
这个世界没有秘密
只有皇帝的新衣
VERSE 2
如果你说出眼中的事实
他们会勃然大怒群起而攻之
你的诚实 会变成无知
你的话会成为恶意的标识
没有人想成为历史的伟人
含混事实 不是因为蠢笨
蝼蚁且贪生 不得不承认
大多人不愿面对血腥的蛮横
CHORUS
BRIDGE
That's right
We're all living our own lies
VERSE 3
闭上眼就能活下去
逐渐学会跟着别人花言巧语
搞不好世上真有隐形的新衣
怀疑自己看得不够仔细
每天孜孜不倦 练习欺骗自己
越来越迷惑 快要神智不清
唯一的动力 去攻击异己
他们的坠落是你正义的证据
Everybody's gonna see what they wanna see
因为害怕失去光鲜的名誉
整个集体的选择性失忆
因为谎言比真相更美丽
PRE-CHORUS
CHORUS

The Emperor's New Clothes (English Translation)
VERSE 1
Walking proudly amongst the cheering crowd
Your majesty, with his naked body
The invisible new clothes is said to be beautiful
Some people were even moved to tears
Everybody's gonna see what they wanna see
As a result of some nameless fear
Rambling on the sincere self-deceiving words
Because the lies are far prettier than the truth
PRE-CHORUS
Uh Uh prettier than the truth
Uh Uh prettier than the truth
CHORUS
There's no secret in this world
It's only the Emperor's new clothes
There's no secret in this world
It's only the Emperor's new clothes
VERSE 2
If you speak true of what you see
They get immediately triggered and start to attack
Your honesty will be labeled ignorance
Your words become evidence of malice
Ain't nobody want to become the hero in the history
Mixing up facts is never because of stupidity
Even ants desire to live, we have to face it,
that most people aren't equipped to fight the true violence
CHORUS
BRIDGE
That's right
We're all living our own lies
VERSE 3
Close your eyes and you can survive
Gradually you'll learn to speak like others
Perhaps the invisible new clothes is real after all
You'd start to wonder if you didn't look close enough
Everyday you work hard lying to yourself
Getting more and more confused, about to lose your mind
The only motivation left is to attack the outsiders
Their fall becomes great proof that your cause is just
Everybody's gonna see what they wanna see
Because no one want to lose their false dignity
The collective selective memory loss
is because the lies are far prettier than the truth
