相反的我 The opposite side of me

I think this song really relates to me. Translation is done by yours truly.

我看着镜子后面皱著眉的我
i look into the mirror behind and saw the "frowning" me
很孤单她有话想说
very lonely it seems he wants to say something
像天空不会永远都是蓝色的
Like the sky will not forever be blue always
有阴天你才会抬头
On cloudy days you will look up
走穿多少的巷弄
Passing by so many villages
笑了哭了
Laughed and cried
有三四个人爱我
A few people loved me

Chorus:
我想要一个乱了数字的时钟
i want a clock with its numbers jumbled up
我想做一个完全相反的我
i want to be a person that is opposite of me
我在这个世界拼命些什么
i work so hard in this world for what
累死我
making myself so tired
我有双不听任何命令的耳朵
i have a pair of ears that don't listen to orders
去享受快乐加上自由的我
to enjoy the happiness and freedom in me
我要变成一颗透明的石头
i want to become a transparent rock
我不会动
i wont move
也不会痛
and wont feel any pain

像轮胎用了太久 没气了 所以
like a tyre used for so long until it has no more air left
原谅我 想消失几周
forgive me as i wanna disappear for weeks
每个人都在选好的轨道奔走
everybody is walking on their own good chosen path
讲真的我想要呼救
truthfully speaking i wanna call for help



The explanation:

I look into the mirror behind and saw the "frowning" me very lonely it seems he wants to say something..... (Actually i always pretend to be happy on the outside, yet the inside of me is just a sad and lonely person and i have lots to say but just can't and dunno who to find...)

Like the sky will not forever be blue always.. On cloudy days you will look up.. (Just like happiness will not last forever, there's also the unhappy times that i will have to go thru and face up to it)

Passing by so many villages.. Laughed and cried.. A few people loved me (After going through the many ups and downs in life, i realised only a few truly cared for me)

i want a clock with its numbers jumbled up.. i want to be a person that is opposite of me.. (How i wish time would just stop at that moment where im truly feeing happy and blessed.. where i can be totally carefree.. the opposite of me.. carefree side of me..)

i work so hard in this world for what.. making myself so tired (What am i working so hard for? Do i get any reward from this? No i dun.. i only make myself more and more tired..)

i have a pair of ears that don't listen to orders.. to enjoy the happiness and freedom in me.. (How i wish i dun have to listen to all those unhappy stuff that i dun wan to hear and think about those unhappy things in life.. just continue to enjoy the freedom and happiness that is in me)

i want to become a transparent rock.. i wont move and wont feel any pain (I just want to become "transparent" to the world, dun wish to care about anything so i wont get hurt)

like a tyre used for so long until it has no more air left.. forgive me as i wanna disappear for weeks (I dun think i have anymore "stamina" to go on already.. i just wish to take a break from all these "chaos")

everybody is walking on their own good chosen path.. truthfully speaking i wanna call for help.. (Seeing everyone is so successful in their lives, i can't help feeling envious about them.. and i wanna be like them too.. become successful... but just dunno who to turn to for help..)
