Dear Humans 03:56
放棄了的 進化了的 你是不是仍然相信著當時的選擇 後來的 大象早就 學會遺忘 流浪的 北極熊也 在天上飛翔 突然 一艘船 從天而降 狼狽的 沈重步伐 你是否 就是早已離開的人啊 宇宙中 完美的家 你說那是無聊的謊 眼前的 這片海洋 卻恢復原來的模樣 為什麼 人類 渴望遠方 卻 無法守護 腳下土壤 你問我 該怎麼做 才能被原諒 曾相信的 曾心愛的 現在的我仍然相信著當時的選擇 我從來 沒有離開也不想要遺忘 一輩子 都在這裡等待 著你回來 好想 告訴你 不用害怕 放下所有的 後悔悲傷 只要你 願意擁抱我們曾受過的傷 偶然的 巧合 已開始流轉 那 隨機的 安排也不斷在變換 淘汰的 願望 又回來了嗎 曾 緊緊擁抱的 和深深愛過的 未來的 還在 遙遠的未來 而 過去的已經消失在過去了 translated lyrics: The abandoned, the evolved Do you still believe in the choice you made? Before long elephants learned to forget Nomadic polar bears now soar in the sky A vessel dropped from the clouds all at once Plodding, trudging Are you the one who’s already left? “The ideal home in the universe” You call this a tedious lie The ocean before our eyes Has renewed, revived Why do humans thirst for the distance But fail to protect the soil under their stride? You asked me what to do To receive forgiveness Once believed, once beloved I still believe in the choice I made I never left, I don’t forget Waiting for your return with all my life To tell you that don’t be afraid Lay down all the regrets and sorrow As long as you embrace our woes Circumstantial, Coincidental, Circulation Random orders, tireless changes Is the eliminated hope rekindled? Once caressed, once cherished The future is still in the far-fetched future Yet the past has vanished in the past

about

In a time like 2020, this is the song we wrote —— “Dear Humans”.

To all the living humans who expect or are afraid of the coming of apocalypse: People made big mistakes. People regretted making them. People admitted the wrongs. Now, people are begging to be forgiven by the world. But why not start making amends right away? Love those who deserve to be loved. Cherish every form of life and every inch of land.

This letter is written to the humans who left the Earth when the apocalypse came. We are the pets that accompanied you in the past, but then you left us here alone. We are dogs, cats, turtles and potted plants.

And now, please listen to what we have to say.

這樣的2020年,我們寫了一首這樣的歌——〈敬啟者 Dear Humans〉。

給所有活著、並期待或害怕末日來臨的人們。人們鑄下大錯、人們後悔、人們領悟、人們乞求著被世界原諒。但何不從現在開始?好好愛著那些該愛的,好好珍惜地球上的每一個生命、每一方土地。

這封信,給末日來臨時逃離地球的人類們。我們是當初曾與你們相伴,卻被獨自留下的寵物,是狗、是貓、是烏龜、是一株盆栽。

這次,請換你們聽聽我們說。
