新历旧历到底几岁
我可以饮水可以买醉 两沟有趣
黎一个饭局
去庆一庆祝
我未许愿先吹蜡烛
甜品做前菜 梳乎厘重有排未焗得热
麦记当雅谷 唔该啊叔叔
五成熟 半生熟
咬落要有血有肉
他熟得快 烂得快
太快有结果了吧
他种瓜所以便有瓜
我却想开花
只担心青春未够花
得一半熟吗
仍然有一半未曾定形吧
仍留下许多可塑造性吗
不管长几高 有种激素
仍然在拒绝进化
越大越夸 成年永不会是成熟期吧
难得在这关卡对牛弹结他
未获得掌声怎可以回家
浪漫在我未看化
有时细 有时大
我就有慢有快
到夜晚曳曳 然后日头就去扮
乖乖 先交得差
今日食肉 听日食斋
咁样先系最高境界
我既世界
仲有大把货买
有得o徙时仲唔去o徒
著西装 配一条领呔
衬一对白波鞋
行街左摇右摆
他 又高贵
又优雅 却欠缺了风格吧
统一标准要似他
我有反对吧
煎双蛋必须熟透吗
不可半熟吗
得一半熟吗
仍然有一半未曾定形吧
仍留下许多可塑造性吗
不管长几高 有种激素
仍然在拒绝进化
越大越夸 成年永不会是成熟期吧
难得在这关卡对牛弹结他
未获得掌声怎可以回家
浪漫在我未看化
误撞误打
成年了恐怕并无特权吧
年轻没规矩都会爱护有加
这身份有得拖吗
成人就收足大细路半价
误撞误打
顽皮也不过十年廿年吧
宁愿像被扣分 身分证继续查
而无需假装正常人家
未任性过就老化
The song "Ban Cheng Nian" by Shine is a reflective piece about aging and maturity. The lyrics explore the idea that although we may age physically, we may not necessarily mature emotionally or mentally. The song is introspective and encourages us to question what it means to truly be mature.
The lyrics use food and drink as a metaphor for life. The singer discusses eating a half-cooked steak and wonders if life is the same. Is there a balance between being unformed and fully matured? The singer worries that they have not yet fully blossomed and that time is slipping away. They also acknowledge that being an adult does not mean they have all the answers, and they still have a lot of growing to do.
The song also touches on the importance of individuality and not conforming to societal expectations. The singer refuses to follow a standardized set of rules and prefers to carve their own path. They recognize that growing up means taking on responsibilities, but they are determined not to lose their youthfulness.
Overall, "Ban Cheng Nian" is a poignant and thought-provoking song that reminds us to value our own unique journeys and to embrace our inner child.

Let's gather for a meal and celebrate

I'll blow out the candles before making a wish

The dessert is being served as an appetizer, it may be lukewarm

Medium-rare or rare?
咬落要有血有肉
It should be juicy and tender

I worry that I haven't made the most of my youth
得一半熟吗 仍然有一半未曾定形吧 仍留下许多可塑造性吗
Half-baked? There's still room for growth and change
不管长几高 有种激素 仍然在拒绝进化
No matter how tall I grow, there's a hormone that resists growth

This is the epitome of life; there's still so much to buy and explore; when I have the chance, I'll dress up and strut my stuff in the streets
他 又高贵 又优雅 却欠缺了风格吧 统一标准要似他 我有反对吧
He's classy and elegant but lacks character; I don't want to conform to his standards
煎双蛋必须熟透吗 不可半熟吗
Do I have to cook my eggs thoroughly? Can't they be runny?
误撞误打 成年了恐怕并无特权吧 年轻没规矩都会爱护有加 这身份有得拖吗
Mistakes are made, even as an adult, I won't be treated differently; I cherish youth's carefree attitude, let's hope this identity sticks around
成人就收足大细路半价 误撞误打 顽皮也不过十年廿年吧 宁愿像被扣分 身分证继续查 而无需假装正常人家
Adults get a discount for children's activities; mistakes are made and playfulness fades with time; I'd rather be myself and face the consequences than pretend to be someone else
未任性过就老化
If you don't act wild while you're young, you'll age before your time
