Digging roots 刨根 from Cocoon 作茧 by Imagine Bunny 幻想邦尼

十九年换一口饭吃
Nineteen years exchanged for a mouthful of food
三代人换一个鸽笼
Three generations exchanged for a pigeon coop
层层背负背负又背负的
Layer upon layer of burdens carried and carried again
是还不完的亲恩
Is the unpayable debt of parental grace
学校像狮口
School is like a lion's mouth
医院如鲸吞
Hospital swallows like a whale
任何一点闪失都经受不起
Cannot afford even the slightest mishap
哪还有余力仰望星辰
Where is the spare energy to gaze at the stars?
牢牢焊死在这块土地上
Firmly welded dead onto this piece of land
任由主子蚕食
Allowing the master to nibble away (*like a silkworm*)
供养着它凶残的大嘴
Feeding its ferocious big mouth
虎咽狼吞
Gobbling down like tigers and wolves

父父子子
Fathers and sons, fathers and sons
君君臣臣
Rulers and subjects, rulers and subjects
纠缠到死
Entangled until death
树大根深
The tree is large, the roots are deep

纠缠到死
Entangled until death
树大根深
The tree is large, the roots are deep

牛马一样拖拽着
Dragged along like cattle and horses
巨大的绞肉机狂奔
The giant meat grinder runs wildly
你我互为食粮
You and I are food for each other
彼此盘剥欺诈瓜分
Mutually exploiting, defrauding, carving up
狼群一样争抢着
Fighting like a pack of wolves
主子剩下的残羹
Over the master's leftover scraps
一切的一切都是为了做人上人
Everything, everything is to become superior to others
哪还有闲心思考人生
Where is the leisure to contemplate life?
牢牢焊死在这块土地上
Firmly welded dead onto this piece of land
任由主子蚕食
Allowing the master to nibble away
被恐惧的皮鞭驱赶着
Driven by the whip of fear
一代代交出青春
Generation after generation surrenders their youth

纠缠到死
Entangled until death
