Lyric

I Am in a Period of Desperation

Hiperson

03 絶望期のわたし

部屋に黄昏が装着する

都市には行くあてのない蝿が装着する

わたしの心中を装うものは

いつ行方不明になったのだろう

絶望期に入ったわたし

自分を納得させられない

永久に変わらず 信じられるものは何かと

わたしはそれを探し出せない

以前、わたしが想像した一つの太陽

私は知っている 夜を追い払った太陽は 夜には現れない

私は知っている 夜を追い払った太陽は 夜には現れない

中にも外にもない

わたしは家が見つからない孤児みたいに

家を想像することもできない

中にも外にもない

わたしは生まれつきの盲人のように あなたが見えない

あなたの姿を想像できないの

中にも外にもない

いままで絶望的でなかった人間は詩を書ける

中にも外にもない

いままで絶望的でなかった人間は詩を書ける

わたしはあなたを汚してしまった

03 我进入了绝望的时期

房间里装着黄昏

城市里装着无头的苍蝇

我心里装的东西

不知道在什么时候不翼而飞

我进入了绝望的时期

我无法说服自己

什么东西可以恒久不变,值得信赖

我无法找到它:

以前我想象中一颗太阳

驱散夜晚的太阳在夜里不出现,我知道

驱散夜晚的太阳在夜里不出现,我知道

里面也没有,外面也没有

我像一个孤儿找不到家

找不到对家的想象

里面也没有,外面也没有

我像一个天生的盲人看不见你

说不出你可能的样貌

里面也没有,外面也没有

从来没有绝望的人会写诗

里面也没有,外面也没有

从来没有绝望的人会写诗:

我玷污了你

03 I Am in a Period of Desperation

The room contains the dusk

And the city contains aimless flies

What my heart contains

Went away I don’t know when

I have entered a period of desperation

I can’t convince myself

That there is something that is unchanging, reliable and lasts forever

I can’t find it

The sun that I used to imagine

The sun that drives out the night doesn’t appear at night, I know

The sun that drives out the night doesn’t appear at night, I know

It is neither inside nor outside

I’m like an orphan who cannot find home

Or imagine it

It is neither inside nor outside

I’m like someone born blind who cannot see you

Let alone describe what you look like

It is neither inside nor outside

No one writes poetry in desperation

It is neither inside nor outside

No one writes poetry in desperation:

I defiled you

    Hiperson

Hiperson is past its growing pains. The five-piece rock band has been through numerous cy-cles of growth over its 8 years of existence, expanding in sonic breadth and lyrical depth, re-fining its craft over two universally applauded studio albums, a 2019 EP for London imprint Damnably, and pulse-raising live performances across dozens of cities in China and Europe. As indie rock resurges as a mainstream cultural force in China, Hiperson refuses to cash in on the trend, refuses to veer from the difficult line they walk between the immediacy of gut-punch punk rock and the elastic, emotive sensibilities baked into their arrangements. As ever, the aphoristic wisdom of lyricist and singer Chen Sijiang leads the listener to the edge of danger, through landscapes of cold reality, oscillating between daily life and illusion.

Hiperson is set to release its third studio album, Bildungsroman, this summer. Recorded in the legendary Hansa Studios in Berlin, Bildungsroman sees Hiperson at their best and most pro-found, a band stretching into its skin, confidently raising its multitudinous and profound voice.
