神秘又有点时髦 网路上找了又找
像一张神奇车票 时空里任意跳跃
前世慢慢被揭晓 我彷佛真的看到
是否手背的痣是上辈子留下的记号
那个爱过的人能在今生把我找到
轮回太奇妙 有些故事不会老
欢迎光临我的独占神话
当时和爱的男人最后快乐吗
这是属于我的独占神话
何必在乎它的真或假
心里的时光机器请出发
让画面倒转吧
千年以前的烦脑 明明都已经忘了
我却拼命想知道 我每一次的纷扰
角色扮演般对照 没有期限的微兆
还有好多的问号 自已和自已聊聊
是否手背的痣是上辈子留下的记号
那个爱过的人能在今生把我找到
轮回太奇妙 有些故事不会老
欢迎光临我的独占神话
千年之前我是那个她
当时和爱的男人最后快乐吗
这是属于我的独占神话

The lyrics of 蔡依林's song "Du Zhan Shen Hua" (独占神话) explore the human fascination with the past, with the surreal and with the unknown. The singer yearns for something new and fresh to discover, but at the same time, is drawn to the allure of the ancient and mysterious. She turns to the internet to help her quench her thirst for knowledge, making her feel as though she is holding a magical ticket to travel through time and space.
Throughout the song, the singer poses several rhetorical questions about past loves and reincarnation. She wonders if the birthmark on her hand is a remnant of a past life and if she will ever be reunited with a past lover in this lifetime. As she delves deeper into these reveries, she realizes that some stories never age, and some mysteries are worth pursuing.
The song highlights humanity's never-ending quest for answers and the inquisitive nature of the human spirit. It explores the idea that the past, even if it is shrouded in myths and legends, holds valuable lessons that can inform one's present and future.

Nice song, but you've advertised your video incorrectly. You're using half pīnyīn, so it's very hard to make sense of.
