这世代
这世代
一向习惯 
逃避看似有理的荒谬
一再习惯 
承受每晚季节的苦闷
无论分分钟钟天气有改变 
我却好少理
无论东方西方主意有呼喊 
我当耳边风
一身风褛 一起飞车 占据我今晚
手中香烟 杯中生啤 难平人愤怒
这世代 
这世代 
需要习惯 
逃避发觉无理的荒谬
需要自醉 
承受这个季节的苦闷
无论分分钟钟天气有改变 
我却好少理
无论东方西方主意有呼喊 
我当耳边风
一身风褛 一起飞车 占据我今晚
手中香烟 杯中生啤 难平人愤怒
这世代
卡拉OK 歌声穿梭 似戴满欢笑
青春包装 灰色的心 人人如是
这世代
一声祝福 一班飞机 放弃这都市
出于当天 抛开当天 流亡何地
这世代
东西不分 不分西东 放弃我主见
生於今天 不知今天 人人如是

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Beyond's song "Mo Deng Shi Dai" (末邓时代) convey the sense of detachment and resignation of a generation to the moral and social decay of contemporary society. The singer observes how people have become accustomed to avoiding the absurdity of reality and accepting the gloom of the changing seasons, without caring about the consequences of their actions or the calls of conscience. The generation in question is characterized by its cynicism, its lack of ideals, and its tendency to escape reality through drugs, alcohol, music, and karaoke.


For the singer, this generation embodies a sense of rebellion against authority, tradition, and morality, as well as a nostalgia for a simpler, more innocent time that no longer exists. He sees himself as part of this generation, with his torn clothes, his motorcycle, his cigarette, and his beer, but also as an outsider who refuses to conform to its values and expectations. The song ends with a wish of good luck to those who decide to leave the city and seek their fortune elsewhere, as an act of resistance against the conformism and apathy of their peers.
