lyrics

机台的鸣叫也打着瞌睡
密封的车间贮藏疾病的铁
薪资隐藏在窗帘后面
仿似年轻打工者深埋于心底的爱情
没有时间开口，情感徒留灰尘
他们有着铁打的胃
盛满浓稠的硫酸，硝酸
工业向他们收缴来不及流出的泪
时辰走过，他们清醒全无
产量压低了年龄，疼痛在日夜加班
还未老去的头晕潜伏生命
皮肤被治具强迫褪去
顺手镀上一层铝合金
有人还在坚持着，有人含病离去
我在他们中间打盹，留守青春的
最后一块墓地



Even the machine is nodding off
Sealed workshops store diseased iron
Wages concealed behind curtains
Like the love that young workers bury at the bottom of their hearts
With no time for expression, emotion crumbles into dust
They have stomachs forged of iron
Full of thick acid, sulfuric and nitric
Industry captures their tears before they have the chance to fall
Time flows by, their heads lost in fog
Output weighs down their age, pain works overtime day and night
In their lives, dizziness before their time is latent
The jig forces the skin to peel
And while it's at it, plates on a layer of aluminum alloy
Some still endure, while others are taken by illness
I am dozing between them, guarding
The last graveyard of our youth.
