我現在正在教室角落
Right now, I’m in a corner of the classroom.
總而言之正在死亡
In short, I’m currently dying.
我的眼睛正在被替換成山茶花
My eyes are changing into camellias,
腦袋上插滿牡丹
and peonies are sticking out of my brain.

走進教室
I walk into the classroom.
cingkuangcing
走進列車
I walk onto the train.
cingkuangcing
走上社會
I step into society.
cingkuangcing
那還不如去死
Why don’t I just drop dead.
我現在正在八月角落
Right now, I’m in a corner of August.
只是一味的漸漸鏽爛
I’m just invariably rotting away, little by little.
不知什麼時候就連高溫都習慣了
I don’t know when it was that I even got used to the high temperatures,
就這樣又剩下了一筆水電費
and just like this, I also managed to save on the electric bill.
cingkuangcing
走上履帶
I step onto the conveyor belt.
曾經的蠟筆丟掉
I’ve already thrown away my old crayons
鋼琴吉他全丟掉
as well as my piano and guitar.
不需要
They aren’t needed.
我也只是
I’m also simply
cingkuangcing
走進人群
walking into the crowd.
變成了隨便換的零件
I’ve turned into an easily replaceable part.
我也只是
I’m also simply
cingkuangcing
走上社會
stepping into society.
好想全部破壞掉
I really want to destroy everything,
全部撕碎破壞掉
to break everything to pieces.
做不到
I can’t do it.
我也只是
I’m also simply—
cingkuangcing cingkuangcingkuang
cingkuangcing
那還不快去死
Why don’t I just quickly drop dead.
做不到~
I can’t do it~
對著身體
To my body,
說對不起
I say, “I’m sorry.”
今天的我
Today’s me has
又食言了
once again broken my promises.
病懨懨的我啊
Ah, the sickly me can only
只會一個人空想
think empty thoughts by myself.
糟糕的身體狀態
My body is in such a terrible state
自顧自的在崩壞
that it’s collapsing all on its own,
又在腦海爭論個沒完
and my mind is full of endless protests.
今天快點結束吧
Today should hurry up and end.
乾脆連明天也別來
In fact, let’s just not have tomorrow come as well.
就讓我做個笨蛋
Just let me be an idiot.
今天也渾噩睡去
Today, I once again fall asleep in a muddle.
對著身體
To my body,
說對不起
I say, “I’m sorry.”
今天的我
Today’s me has
又食言了
once again broken my promises.

Producer’s Comment:
Have you ever heard of meat zongzi that’s able to predict the future?
加班的今天 加班的明天
Overtime today, overtime tomorrow.
下班想去公館吃拉麵
After work, I want to go eat ramen at Gongguan[1].
社畜很窮 窮得只剩下錢錢
A corporate drone is very poor, so poor that the only thing I have left is money[2].
繳完了帳單 我撤回前言
After paying all my bills, I retract that last statement.
但是樂觀一點想一想
But if I look at this a bit more positively,
好歹我這個月總共還休三天
at least I have a total of three rest days this month.
在麵店大排長龍的節骨眼
Right as I’m near the end of the long line at the noodle shop,
家鄉味台南肉粽出現在對街
Tainan meat zongzi, a taste from my hometown, appears across the street.
北部粽又硬又只會死鹹
The zongzi in the north[3] is not only hard but also salty as heck.
你正是我在找的店
You are exactly the store I’m looking for.
吃下一口 哎喲喂我的天
I take one bite, and oh no, ah, oh my god.
不會鹹不會甜有點像便便
It isn’t salty, it isn’t sweet, it tastes a bit like poop.
這個招牌根本就是詐騙
The store advertising is a complete and utter fraud.
沒去過別假裝懂府城的味覺
If you’ve never been there, don’t pretend you know the taste of Tainan.
想哭的不是月休三天
I want to cry not because I only have three days of rest in a month
而是眼前還剩下整顆的便便
but because an entire wad of poop still remains right before my eyes.
下一口 一切都不會改變
With the next bite, I feel as if nothing will ever change.
預知未來也不過就是這種感覺
So even my anticipation for the future has turned into just this kind of feeling.
加班的今天 加班的明天
Overtime today, overtime tomorrow.

照張相 上臉書貼一貼
I take a picture to post on Facebook.
不能只有我吃到這麼難吃的店
It can’t just be me who eats from such a disgusting shop.
修個圖 再寫上幾句推薦：
After I fix up the photo, I write a few words of recommendation:
今天是。
Today is
鄉愁文青的。
a nostalgic time for the refined youth,
肉粽之夜。
a night of the meat zongzi.

[3] For those who don’t know Chinese, the major cities in Taiwan are named based on their relative location. Tainan is literally “South Taiwan”, while Taipei is “North Taiwan”. (↳ return)
