************《不死的灵魂》背景故事*************

我不是快乐城堡里的王子。
我没有耀眼的起点，
也没有被世界特别偏爱。
我拥有的，
是一双曾哭过很多次的眼睛，
一段布满伤痕的人生，
以及许多个独自熬过的黑夜。

从小开始，
总有人比我更快被看见，
也总有人更早被肯定。
而我，常常被误解，
被贴上不属于我的标签。
有人说我不够好，
有人说我不会成功，
有人说我以后不会有什么成就。

可他们不知道，
有些人表面沉默，
心里却藏着别人看不见的天赋。
我也许不擅长解释自己，
却总能在某些时刻，
听见别人听不见的声音，
感觉到别人感觉不到的节奏。
有些能力，不一定立刻被认可。
有些光，也不会一开始就发亮。

后来，我很早就走进现实。
见过冷暖，
吃过苦头，
受过委屈，
也曾在深夜怀疑过自己。
有时明明已经很努力，
却还是输给条件。
有时真心待人，
却换来失望。
有时咬牙撑着，
却没人知道我有多累。

但我渐渐明白，
人生有些路，本来就没有捷径。
有些成长，
只能靠跌倒学会。
有些坚强，
只能在无人依靠时长出来。
于是我开始不再问：
“为什么是我？”

而是开始告诉自己：
“既然是我，那我就走过去。”
别人看到我的伤痕，
我看到的是证明。
别人看到我的失败，
我看到的是经验。
别人看到我的沉默，
我知道那是在积蓄力量。
后来我终于懂了：

你可以夺走我的钱财，
却夺不走我的本事。
你可以撕碎我的外表，
却撕不碎我的意志。
你可以伤害我的身体，
却伤不了真正清醒的灵魂。
过去那些好的、不好的，
顺利的、狼狈的，
被赞美的、被看轻的，
都没有白费。
它们一起塑造了今天的我。

也许我仍不完美，
也许我还在努力，
也许我仍在人生路上奔跑。
但现在的我，已经不会轻易倒下。
因为我知道，
真正强大的人，
不是从没受伤的人。
而是受过伤之后，
依然选择继续发光的人。

*********The Story Behind "Undying Soul"*********

I was never the prince of some happy castle.
I didn’t start life with shining advantages,
and I was never especially favoured by the world.
What I did have
were eyes that had cried more times than anyone knew,
a life marked by scars,
and countless nights I had to survive on my own.

From the beginning,
there were always people noticed before me,
and others praised long before I ever was.
As for me,
I was often misunderstood,
branded with labels that were never mine to carry.
Some said I wasn’t good enough.
Some said I would never succeed.
Some said I would never amount to anything.
But what they never understood was this:
some people look quiet on the outside,
while carrying gifts the world cannot see.

I may never have been good at explaining myself,
yet there were moments
when I could hear what others could not hear,
and feel rhythms others could not feel.
Some gifts are not recognised right away.
Some lights were never meant to shine at the start.

Later, I entered the real world far too early.
I learned what warmth looked like,
and what coldness felt like.
I tasted hardship.
I swallowed humiliation.
And there were nights when I quietly doubted myself.
Sometimes I gave everything I had,
and still lost to circumstances.
Sometimes I offered sincerity,
and got disappointment in return.
Sometimes I gritted my teeth and kept moving,
while no one knew how exhausted I really was.

But slowly, I came to understand:
Some roads in life were never meant to be easy.
Some growth
can only come through falling.
Some strength
is born only when there is no one left to lean on.
So I stopped asking:
“Why me?”

And started telling myself:
“If it’s me, then I’ll be the one to walk through it.”
Others saw my scars.
I saw proof that I survived.
Others saw my failures.
I saw lessons.
Others saw my silence.
I knew it was strength gathering within me.

Then one day, I truly understood:
You can take my money,
but you cannot take my ability.
You can tear apart my appearance,
but you cannot tear apart my will.
You can wound my body,
but you cannot break a soul that has awakened.

Everything in the past
the good and the bad,
the victories and the humiliations,
the praise and the disrespect
none of it was wasted.
All of it shaped the person I am today.

Maybe I’m still imperfect.
Maybe I’m still growing.
Maybe I’m still running my race.
But now, I don’t fall so easily anymore.
Because I know this:
True strength does not belong
to those who were never hurt.
It belongs to those
who were hurt,
and still chose to shine.

************中文歌词*************

不是快乐城堡里的王子
我出生在风雨里
眼里有雾气
手里没糖衣
只有命运递来的泥

校长说我不是好孩子
名字被贴在墙上示意
老师摇头 同学嬉戏
像全世界先学会嫌弃
可他们不知道我耳里的秘密
风吹铁门都有旋律
别人听见只是杂音而已
我听见万物正在苏醒
一首歌只要落进空气
我就能摸到它的心意

年纪轻轻走进社会
口袋空空 学费是眼泪
哭过 苦过 跪过 狼狈
我把每次崩溃炼成铠甲无畏

你可以夺走我的钱财
我还有破旧的外衣
你可以撕碎我的外衣
我还有粗糙的皮肤
你可以剥开我的皮肤
我还有滚烫的血肉
你可以打碎我的骨头
可你永远碰不到
我不死的灵魂

深夜的街像冷色海洋
香烟替黑夜点一点光
我不是堕落 我是在取暖
把沉默吐成白雾飘荡
做过杂工 扛过重量
被人使唤也学会体谅
人情冷暖像旧工厂
机器很吵 心要更响
所有低头不是投降
只是让我学会怎样发光

好的坏的 苦的甜的
都在体内炼成火了
那些看不起我的脸色
如今只是背景过客

你可以夺走我的钱财
我还有破旧的外衣
你可以撕碎我的外衣
我还有粗糙的皮肤
你可以剥开我的皮肤
我还有滚烫的血肉
你可以打碎我的骨头
可你永远碰不到
我不死的灵魂

我不是王子
没有皇冠替我挡雨
我不是天选之子
只是没死在谷底
每一道疤
都是活下来的证据
每一次输
都在帮我赢回自己
I live by honor
till the day I die

你可以烧毁我的过去
我还有未来没开启
你可以践踏我的名字
我还有山河会回应
你可以否定我的价值
我还有热血未冷尽
你可以让世界背对我
但你拦不住
这不死的灵魂

从前那些伤与荣耀
都不是惩罚
而是锻造
I live by honor
till the day I die

************English Lyrics*************

I was never a prince in a castle of gold
I was born where the wind and rain blow cold
Mist in my eyes
No sugar disguise
Only mud that fate threw into my life

The principal said I was not a good child
My name on the wall like I stood there on trial
Teachers shook their heads, classmates all smiled
Like the whole world had learned hate for a while
But they never knew the secret in my ears
Even iron gates sang music clear
They heard only noise, nothing sincere
I heard all the world waking near
Any song that falls into the air
I can feel its beating heart in there

Young and thrown into the world too fast
Empty pockets, tears were the tuition I paid at last
I cried before, hurt before, knelt in shame
Every breakdown forged me into flame

You can take away all that I own
I still wear these rags I have known
You can tear away all that I wear
I still have this skin laid bare
You can break through flesh and blood inside
You can crush every bone with pride
But you will never ever touch
My undying soul

Midnight streets like an ocean of blue
Cigarettes gave the darkness a little light to view
I am not falling, I am just staying warm
Breathing silence into ghostlike storms
Worked as a laborer, carried heavy loads
Took commands and learned mercy on roads
Human hearts like factories grown old
Loud machines, so my heart beat bold
Every time I bowed was not defeat
I was learning how to shine through heat

Good and bad and bitter sweet
Turned to fire beneath my feet
All the faces looking down on me
Now are shadows in the scenery

You can take away all that I own
I still wear these rags I have known
You can tear away all that I wear
I still have this skin laid bare
You can break through flesh and blood inside
You can crush every bone with pride
But you will never ever touch
My undying soul

I was never a prince
No crown to keep me dry in rain
I was never the chosen one
I just survived the deepest pain
Every scar I bear
Is proof that I remained
Every loss I faced
Helped me win myself again
I live by honor
Till the day I die

You can burn away my yesterdays
I still have tomorrow’s blaze
You can trample on my name with lies
The mountains still will answer the skies
You can say I hold no worth within
My hot blood still has not grown thin
You can turn the whole world against me
But you cannot stop
This undying soul

All the wounds and all the glory
Were never punishment to me
They were forging me
I live by honor
Till the day I die
