Song in Chinese about wandering around a neighborhood in Beijing: “I came to Chaoyang North Road in search of a real heartbeat, day and night go round and round endlessly.” Rock band & singer.歌词
A pounding heartbeat
The scent of rot
An empty corner
That fire keeps burning on
So many illusions, so many hopes
So many late-night drifters walk this road alone
Dim streetlights casting blurry doubts
Who confides in whom, and who’s telling lies?
Raise a glass, forget yesterday
Forget the promises we used to make
Endless streams, year after year
Chaoyang North Road marks time with memories
All we’ve been through—it’s not that bad
Don’t let life shrink like dust
All we’ve been through—it’s not that bad
We don’t need anyone to understand
A pounding heartbeat
The scent of rot
An empty corner
That fire keeps burning on
The tracks of desire
Waiting for the next second
Those who left, those we forgot
Have become my crutch
Two points make a line, grinding down my edges
No matter how late, I can’t sleep
Beer and freedom—what I hold dear
I came to Chaoyang North Road craving one true heartbeat
Day and night endlessly rotate
This is a game called survival
Schemes, desires, deceit—
Am I your brother or your weapon?
All we’ve been through—it’s not that bad
Don’t let life shrink like dust
All we’ve been through—it’s not that bad
We don’t need anyone to understand
A pounding heartbeat
The scent of rot
An empty corner
That fire keeps burning on
The tracks of desire
Waiting for the next second
Those who left, those we forgot
Have become my crutch
I know—
When someone comes, someone else leaves
I know—
Behind every smile, a silent helplessness
You look away on purpose
You look away on purpose
You look away on purpose
Just get the hell out of my world
A pounding heartbeat
The scent of rot
An empty corner
That fire keeps burning on
Français:
Un battement de cœur qui cogne
L’odeur de la pourriture
Un coin vide
Ce feu continue de brûler
Tant d’illusions, tant d’espoirs
Tant d’âmes errantes de nuit marchent seules sur cette route
Des réverbères ternes projettent des doutes flous
Qui se confie à qui, et qui ment ?
Levons notre verre, oublions hier
Oublions les promesses qu’on faisait autrefois
Des flux sans fin, année après année
Chaoyang North Road marque le temps avec des souvenirs
Tout ce qu’on a traversé — ce n’est pas si terrible
Ne laisse pas la vie se réduire en poussière
Tout ce qu’on a traversé — ce n’est pas si terrible
On n’a pas besoin que quelqu’un comprenne
Un battement de cœur qui cogne
L’odeur de la pourriture
Un coin vide
Ce feu continue de brûler
Les traces du désir
Attendant la seconde suivante
Ceux qui sont partis, ceux qu’on a oubliés
Sont devenus ma béquille
Deux points font une ligne, usant mes contours
Peu importe l’heure, je n’arrive pas à dormir
Bière et liberté — ce à quoi je tiens
Je suis venu sur Chaoyang North Road en quête d’un vrai battement de cœur
Le jour et la nuit tournent sans fin
C’est un jeu appelé survie
Magouilles, désirs, tromperies —
Suis-je ton frère ou ton arme ?
Tout ce qu’on a traversé — ce n’est pas si terrible
Ne laisse pas la vie se réduire en poussière
Tout ce qu’on a traversé — ce n’est pas si terrible
On n’a pas besoin que quelqu’un comprenne
Un battement de cœur qui cogne
L’odeur de la pourriture
Un coin vide
Ce feu continue de brûler
Les traces du désir
Attendant la seconde suivante
Ceux qui sont partis, ceux qu’on a oubliés
Sont devenus ma béquille
Je sais —
Quand quelqu’un arrive, quelqu’un d’autre s’en va
Je sais —
Derrière chaque sourire, il y a une impuissance silencieuse
Tu détournes le regard exprès
Tu détournes le regard exprès
Tu détournes le regard exprès
Fous le camp de mon monde
Un battement de cœur qui cogne
L’odeur de la pourriture
Un coin vide
Ce feu continue de brûler
Nu metal/alternative metal. Powerful & aggressive. Song in Chinese ...Nu metal/alternative metal. Powerful & aggressive. Song in Chinese about the tough life of a musician: “No pay for concerts, puppets at festivals, no matter what time we play, the audience doesn't care.” Rock band & singer. Break @ 2'04.歌词
Give me 20 more years — I’d still do this
Still underground, still broke as shit
Give me 20 more years — I’d still be here
Still pissed off — too much I can't stand
Formed this band back in ‘02
The brothers I jammed with — now pushing 40 too
So tired — is that wrong?
No connections, no big shots — just held on
Cried in the dark, acted like I’m fine
Played festivals like puppets — got no dime
They throw us in the back slot
Crowd don’t even care we exist or not
Some doubt me, some try to drown me
Some believe — they say fame don't define me
Fate's just a loop I can't read
Give me 20 years — I’d still bleed
Still in the basement
Still not rich
Still screaming truth
Still sounding like shit
Some came with money, tried to buy my silence
We even asked ourselves —
Will this end with nothing, just broken violence?
Friends left, said I never listened
Said I don’t care what they think — guess I didn’t
TV shows, rap charts, business trends
Can’t rely on none of them
We — we only trust ourselves
You're doing great now
But that means shit to me
Everything you own
Looks like garbage to me
Give me 20 more years — I’d still do this
Still underground, still broke as shit
Still angry, still calling out the lies
Still raw, still the same inside
I’ve chased fame
I’ve cursed this underground
I’ve given up
I’ve betrayed my higher ground
From bar to bar
From stage to stage
From ticket to drink
From real sound to fake rage
Heroes turned to clowns
Dreams drowned
Hope burned
Ashes now
Give me 20 more years
Give me a drink
And give me
a bullet

Donne-moi 20 ans, je continuerai à faire ça
Toujours dans l’underground, toujours sans gagner un sou
Donne-moi 20 ans, je continuerai à faire ça
Toujours en colère, il y a trop de choses que je ne supporte pas
En 2002, on a monté ce groupe
Les potes d’avant ont presque tous 40 ans maintenant
C’est dur — j’ai tort ? Pas de piston, pas d’opportunité
Même en pleurant, il faut faire semblant que tout va bien
Pas de cachet pour les concerts, marionnettes des festivals
Peu importe à quelle heure on joue, le public s’en fiche
Certains me critiquent, d’autres veulent me tirer vers le bas
Mais certains me soutiennent : "Qu’on explose ou non, on s’en fout"
Le destin, c’est une boucle que je comprendrai jamais
Donne-moi 20 ans, je continuerai à faire ça
Toujours dans l’underground, toujours sans gagner un sou
Donne-moi 20 ans, je continuerai à faire ça
Toujours en colère, il y a trop de choses que je ne supporte pas
Donne-moi 20 ans, je continuerai à faire ça
Toujours dans l’underground, toujours sans gagner un sou
Donne-moi 20 ans, je continuerai à faire ça
Toujours authentique, et toujours aussi pourri
Oui, on m’a déjà tendu de l’argent pour me faire trahir
Et nous aussi, on s’est déjà demandé si
Au bout du compte, il ne resterait rien du tout
Mes amis m’ont tous quitté un par un
Parce que je n’écoutais jamais ce qu’ils disaient
Rap et rock à la télé, en mode variété
Les lois du marché et du commerce
On ne peut compter que sur soi
On ne peut compter que sur soi
T’as une belle vie maintenant, mais ça ne me concerne pas
Tout ce que tu possèdes, pour moi, ça vaut que dalle
Donne-moi 20 ans, je continuerai à faire ça
Toujours dans l’underground, toujours sans gagner un sou
Donne-moi 20 ans, je continuerai à faire ça
Toujours en colère, il y a trop de choses que je ne supporte pas
Donne-moi 20 ans, je continuerai à faire ça
Toujours dans l’underground, toujours sans gagner un sou
Donne-moi 20 ans, je continuerai à faire ça
Toujours authentique, et toujours aussi pourri
Moi aussi, j’ai déjà voulu la gloire et l’argent
Moi aussi, j’ai déjà haï l’underground
Moi aussi, j’ai abandonné
Moi aussi, j’ai trahi mes idéaux
Des bars aux soirées
Des billets de concert aux lendemains bourrés
De la musique vraie à une décadence bidon
Tous les héros sont devenus des minables
Donne-moi 20 ans, je continuerai à faire ça
Toujours dans l’underground, toujours sans gagner un sou
Donne-moi 20 ans, je continuerai à faire ça
Sers-moi un verre
Et donne-moi une balle
