Dong Zhou - Looking for the Magic (short ver.) Lyrics

I'm looking for the magic
I'm still looking for the magic
In the village, you can buy house, but cannot buy books You can play cards, but cannot visit the city
You cannot socialize, cannot get too much attention Cannot be too good, cannot be too bad
There are many conventions
If you want to break them
You feel hopeless and isolated
You feel thousands of eyes focusing on you Before anyone stops you
You stop yourself
My body is following these conventions But my heart not
I don't accept it
I'd rather be painful than dumb
I don't want to be satisfied and know nothing
My outfit speaks for me I let it express my idea
I want a colorful life
So my outfit is colorful
My village is flat My life is too flat

I want to change
I want to go out
I'm looking for the exit I'm looking for the magic
Is there a magic
To turn the card over
Is there a magic
To change the game
Is there a magic
To break the house
Is there a magic
To teach me the language from outside
I'm looking for the magic
In tree holes, in wells, in cracks on the wall In books, in radio programs, on TV
I'm trapped in a wrong place
My soul is trapped in a wrong body
Making bed
Doing grocery
Choosing the material for my sofa cover Having sandwich together with my kids Sleeping with my husband
Everything is programmed very well
I'm functioning perfectly for my obligations
But is that all life about
What if I do things wrong
Just little things which don't hurt anyone I cannot escape from my responsibilities But what if this is a game
And I can trigger a bug
In another world
It might be dangerous and stressful I might be fired
But I'd rather go there
In the village you never get fired
No one fires you in being a mother, cooking, or farming Only the life dismisses itself without a declaration
Like you washed a shirt again, and again and again Until it became pale and wrinkled
I'd rather take the risk
I need the magic
I'm looking for it
I'm looking for the magic
