多希望一夜长大
不用躲开妈妈晚回家
多羡慕同学身边
总有英俊有钱的好爸爸
All the time
怎么日子从不变化
男孩总爱变卦耶耶
好想睁开眼就发现

我成人礼的庆典在明天
大人们的世界潘多拉的梦幻星空喔喔
虽然看不懂却还是期待身在其中喔喔
在真爱来临以前女孩们会冒险找经验喔喔
把眼睛里的腼腆都隐藏在好奇心后面
Please no more
如果王子们能看见
这里有个女孩在许愿
好想睁开眼就发现
我成人礼的庆典在明天
大人们的世界潘多拉的梦幻星空喔喔
虽然看不懂却还是期待身在其中喔喔
喔喔 Oh no 喔喔 no no
喔喔我还不懂
我知道谁都不想受伤害可谁能永远当小孩
说我长大了才会明白这不就是大人的悲哀
大人们的世界潘多拉的梦幻星空喔喔
虽然看不懂却还是期待身在其中喔喔

喔喔 Oh no 喔喔 no no
喔喔大人们的世界喔喔

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song “Dan Ren De Shi Jie” by By2, express the desire of youngsters to grow up quickly and become adults, as they are tired of constantly having to hide from their mothers and come back home late at night. They envy their classmates who have handsome and wealthy fathers, making the world of adults seems more glamorous to them than their childhood. The song then takes a turn as it acknowledges the confusion that comes with growing up, with the world of adults being described as the “Pandora's fantasy starry sky”, something that is hard to understand, yet the youngsters are still eager to experience it. It is also mentioned that before true love arrives, girls tend to take risks and hide their shyness behind their curiosity in searching for experiences. The song ends on a melancholic note as the artists realize that all adults carry the sadness of growing up and the loss of childhood innocence.
