Seven 阿七 (Eng/Chi Lyrics)｜Scissor Seven (刺客伍六七) OST

Scissor Seven Season 3 Original Soundtrack (S3E9)

My second go at writing translyrics (translation lyrics)!

This song was slightly harder to transcribe English lyrics for because of the way sentences are structured in Chinese :P Some parts aren’t direct translations at all due to awkward phrasing/rhyming, so I worked around this by rearranging things that didn’t fit in other sections of the song.

You may notice that although the verse and chorus of the original song are the same each time, the translyrics have slightly different versions for each part. I wanted to show Seven’s progression throughout the show where he starts discovering more about his past which causes his goals to change.

Translyrics:

[VERSE 1]
Here again
It's a strange new world
Tossing in bed
Searching for who I was before
Before, I fell in love with a girl before
Realise, there's no truth to compromise
Tryin' my best to live this life
Standing alone
They won't take this away, my home

[PRE-CHORUS]
Thunders roar as I crack a grin, it falls through right after
In the puddle, eyes glistening, can't find an answer

[CHORUS 1]
As I stand on the edge of destruction
My own dagger's the only obstruction
Before my time ends
I'll give my all to defend
Terrified of those fragmented memories
Terrified summer days are behind me
But a world where you're here
That's the one I want to keep, to keep

[VERSE 2]
I'm here again
Back in my same new world
Tossing again
Searching for who I was before
Before, I fell in love with a girl once more
Realise, there's no way I can compromise
Tryin' my best to save this life
So I stand alone
I won't let them destroy my home

[CHORUS 2]
Standing right on the edge of destruction
My own dagger's the only obstruction
Until my time ends
I'll give my all to defend
Terrified of those fragmented memories
Terrified summer days are behind me
But a world where you're here
That's the one I want to keep, to keep

[BRIDGE]
Escape, my predestined fate
Escape, from the truth I hate
Homebound, but there's no road to be found

[CHORUS 3]
Terrified of those memories, they're haunting
Terrified that those days, long behind me
But a world where you're here
That's the one I want to keep, to keep, to keep
