人类啊 还好吗 愤怒似密云
jan4 leoi6 aa1 waan4 hou2 maa1 fan5 nou6 ci5 mat6 wan4
Humanity, are you alright? Anger like dense clouds
仇恨已充斥 最喜爱看不堪
sau4 han6 ji5 cung1 cik1 zeoi3 hei2 ngoi3 hon3 bat1 ham1
Hatred is filling up; relishing to witness the unbearable
不听话只好封印 不说话也是罪人
bat1 ting3 waa6 zi2 hou2 fung1 jan3 bat1 syut3 waa6 jaa5 si6 zeoi6 jan4
If disobedient, you must be sealed away; even silence makes you a sinner
无办法 只想 看到周遭不幸
mou4 baan6 faat3 zi2 soeng2 hon3 dou3 zau1 zou1 bat1 hang6
No way out; just want to see misfortunes around
谁都不可侥幸
seoi4 dou1 bat1 ho2 hiu1 hang6
No one can be lucky
谁做戏 谁该死 惯未审先判
seoi4 zou6 hei3 seoi4 goi1 sei2 gwaan3 mei6 sam2 sin1 pun3
Who is acting? Who deserves to die? Used to judging without trial
凭直觉猜测 免真相太一般
pang4 zik6 gok3 caai1 caak1 min5 zan1 soeng1 taai3 jat1 bun1
Guess based on intuition, avoiding the too-ordinary truth
怎么分手都要管 已推说太多版本
zam2 mo1 fan1 sau2 dou1 jiu3 gun2 ji5 teoi1 syut3 taai3 do1 baan2 bun2
Even breakups must be managed, too many versions spun
谁又说得过判官
seoi4 jau6 syut3 dak1 gwo3 pun3 gun1
Who can argue with the judge?
现实 得不到宣泄 创作替身
jin6 sat6 dak1 bat1 dou3 syun1 sit3 cong3 zok3 tai3 san1
Reality, unable to vent, creates a substitute
急需于虚构里 寻求同温
gap1 seoi1 jyu1 heoi1 kau3 leoi5 cam4 kau4 tung4 wan1
Urgently seeking warmth in fiction
(Not gonna say farewell, If I'm goin’ thru hell)
(Not gonna say farewell, If I'm goin’ thru hell)
(Not gonna say farewell, If I'm goin’ thru hell)
(Not gonna say farewell, If I'm goin’ thru hell)
(Not gonna say farewell, If I'm goin’ thru hell)
(Not gonna say farewell, If I'm goin’ thru hell)
未够修行到天堂瞓
mei6 gau3 sau1 hang4 dou3 tin1 tong4 fan3
Not enough cultivation to rest in paradise
誓要一同地府囚禁
sai6 jiu3 jat1 tung4 dei6 fu2 cau4 gam3
Sworn to be imprisoned together in the underworld
谁在生
seoi4 zoi6 saang1
Who’s alive
高空里找是谁犯错
gou1 hung1 leoi5 zaau2 si6 seoi4 faan6 co3
Seeking in the heights who has erred
不懂也开始错摸
bat1 dung2 jaa5 hoi1 ci2 co3 mo2
Without understanding, mistakes begin
躲不过 躲不过
do2 bat1 gwo3 do2 bat1 gwo3
Can't evade, can't evade
吃腐肉的鹰一早喊肚饿
hek3 fu6 juk6 dik1 jing1 jat1 zou2 haam3 tou5 ngo6
The eagle eating rotten flesh cries out early from hunger
几千只秃鹰来验货
gei2 cin1 zek3 tuk1 jing1 loi4 jim6 fo3
Thousands of vultures come to inspect the goods
乌鸦也开始教唆
wu1 aa1 jaa5 hoi1 ci2 gaau3 so1
Crows also begin to incite
撑不过 撑不过
caang1 bat1 gwo3 caang1 bat1 gwo3
Cannot hold on, cannot hold on
吃腐肉的鹰 不煞科
hek3 fu6 juk6 dik1 jing1 bat1 saat3 fo1
The eagle eating spoiled meat doesn't stop
烽烟好戏上演 仍最叫座
fung1 jin1 hou2 hei3 soeng5 jin2 jing4 zeoi3 giu3 zo6
The smoke of war is a good show, still the most popular
谁造势 来摧毁 最大化问题
seoi4 zou6 si3 loi4 ceoi1 wui2 zeoi3 daai6 fa3 man6 tai4
Who creates the momentum to destroy, maximising the problem
仇恨有载体 终于有所发挥
sau4 han6 jau5 zoi6 tai2 zung1 jyu5 jau5 so2 faat3 fai1
Hatred has a carrier, finally having some outlet
冲锋鹰开始脱轨 要搜刮无关范围
cung1 fung1 jing1 hoi1 ci2 tyut3 gwai2 jiu3 sau2 gwaat3 mou4 gwaan1 faan6 wai4
The charging eagle begins to derail, wanting to plunder unrelated areas
谁步近都要血洗
seoi4 bou6 gan6 dou1 jiu3 hyut3 sai2
Anyone who approaches must be bloodied
现实 多么的枯燥 哪里有花
jin6 sat6 do1 mo1 dik1 fu1 zou2 naa5 lei5 jau5 faa1
Reality is so dry, where are the flowers?
只想于虚构里 到处涂鸦
zi2 soeng2 jyu1 heoi1 gau3 leoi5 dou3 cyu3 tou4 aa1
Just want to doodle everywhere in fiction
(Not gonna say farewell, If I'm goin’ thru hell)
(Not gonna say farewell, If I'm goin’ thru hell)
(Not gonna say farewell, If I'm goin’ thru hell)
(Not gonna say farewell, If I'm goin’ thru hell)
(Not gonna say farewell, If I'm goin’ thru hell)
(Not gonna say farewell, If I'm goin’ thru hell)
没意识被恶魔凌驾
mut6 ji3 sik1 bei6 ngok3 mo1 ling4 gaa3
Unconsciously dominated by demons
若满足流量的密码

Is it lucky?
高空里找是谁犯错
gou1 hung1 leoi5 zaau2 si6 seoi4 faan6 co3
Looking high in the sky to find who made the mistake
不懂也开始错摸

Song Interpretation
Short Summary
The song "Mirror - 吃腐肉的鹰" (Culture Vulture) by Mirror explores themes of societal decay, anger, and self-destruction. It reflects on the consequences of hate, manipulation, and the lack of escape from a world that thrives on conflict and negativity.
Detailed Insights
The lyrics of this song paint a grim picture of human nature, with references to anger and hatred that dominate the world. The image of vultures and crows evokes the idea of opportunism and destruction, while the lyrics suggest a society that is trapped in cycles of conflict and self-destruction.
There is a recurring theme of seeking escape through fiction, as the protagonist longs for warmth and refuge from a harsh reality. Yet, the song also expresses a sense of inevitability and helplessness, where no one can avoid the inevitable consequences of their actions. The line about becoming a demon unintentionally highlights the internal struggle and the difficulty of finding salvation or redemption in a world consumed by negativity.
