lyrics

I don't want fame, only kisses From my favourite pen And I draw tears on my men It's okay to cry now and again So I sit on my bed Use art as emotional confidante Paper makes me who I am Inside, now and again When I make it feels like ‘ooh’ (In Taiwanese Hokkien) 唔為著啥 我只想要走我的路，用我的腳步 我想要畫圖，用山上的土，永遠～ 母湯放忘記那裡有，細漢時～快樂回憶 乾淨誒空氣～打赤腳在跳水 唔為著啥 我只想要走我的路，用我的腳步 I don't want fame, just want to make stuff I like At my own pace Floating on bike, pocket recorder, to make Some sounds that don't mean anything I don't make art, I don't make products I don't make anything or do I make everything There is no race, just want to make stuff I like For the sake of making it When I make it feels like ‘ooh’
