摩登時代 [Modern Times] - Joey Yung 容祖兒 {Cantonese 06}

​The singer likens the current state of her relationship to a mime performance, while she and her partner goes through a freeze-out, not speaking to each other.

​She was upholding the freeze-out with more determination than her partner (Charlie) was, to the point they stopped seeing each other entirely, going through their own separate lives.
​The singer regrets her persistence in the freeze-out, upon meeting up with Charlie, their exchanges were cold, and actions subsequently performed without thinking of the consequence on the relationship.

​Rather than speaking, the singer is making small, petty actions to communicate to Charlie (extending the mime analogy), to the point the singer is mentally taxing herself, and forgets the reason she is freezing out the relationship in the first place.
The freeze-out on the relationship has taken such a toll that there is no more spark between the two, and the only spark that occurs is when the two mutually agree to split up.

Who could say, how many in the audience are lucky to be watching?
​This spontaneous, confrontational, silent/miming scene, who has seen it?
​At every phase, repressing, enduring, hating each other.
Bored already, stop dragging on

​Don't need to say it, I'd judge my performance to be a lot quieter than Charlie's.
Vanished, happily living our own separate lives in the city.
Should have already finished, but the theatre curtains haven't closed.

​Angry for being too persistent, endured everything that could be endurable,
​however, arriving at the meeting point, not a word of complaint,
​So cold the events were acted on imprudently

​Too many actions, my brain is hurting,
​pretend I am not as forgetful/forgiving as you,
Fictitiously forcing myself through, for what?
Not saying anything would lead to more actions
Already said too much while departing, emotions emptied out since the start,
​This mime performance is finishing, not asking you to confess,
"Lets break up", that line
the synergy was unnaturally exceptional.

Since evening, started with a cold-shoulder, no conversation, enduring till sunrise,
Luckily a classic mime performance suddenly started playing
Coldly staring at the screen, as if listening to a court hearing.

Too many actions, my brain is hurting,
​pretend I am not as forgetful/forgiving as you,
Fictitiously forcing myself through, for what?
Not saying anything would lead to more actions
Already said too much while departing, emotions emptied out since the start,
​This mime performance is finishing, not asking you to confess,
Lets hastily break up, it can be done
The silence representing the conclusion, not too bad

Too many actions, my brain is hurting,
​pretend I am not as forgetful/forgiving as you,
Fictitiously forcing myself through, for what?
Not saying anything would lead to more actions
Already said too much while departing, emotions emptied out since the start,
​This mime performance is finishing, not asking you to confess,
Lets hastily break up, it can be done
The silence representing the conclusion, not too bad

Since evening, started with a cold-shoulder, no conversation, enduring till sunrise.
Suddenly two mime performances simultaneously broadcast,
​It happens the performance was extremely horrible to watch.
