And though she doubts her host’s moralities

She decides that she is more at ease
In the Land Of Doing What You Please than outside in the cold.
相較於外頭的寒冷，她決定要活在「隨心所欲的世界」過著舒適的生活
There's thrills and chills and girls galore, sing-songs and surprises

I’ve been stuck inside an echo chamber listening to the sound of my own voice
我ㄧ直不斷在社群媒體上放話，聽著相同的言論。
Bobbing up and down, flailing around in a sea of irrelevant noise

We’ll never get along – left or right, right or wrong
我們總是處不來，不論是傾左或右，對或是錯。
The more you learn the less you know, it’s a Punch and Judy Show.
就像是「潘趣木偶劇」越看越搞不清
We are living in privileged times and you are a privileged girl.
我們活在一個享有特權的時代，而妳也是享有特權的女孩。
Mildly
oppressed, completely obsessed with fixing the whole damn world.
只受到輕微的壓迫，就痴狂的想要解決這整個糟透了的世界。
You should come with a trigger warning written all over your face
妳應該在妳的臉上寫滿警告標誌
You’re playing the victim, pointing the finger, at anybody in this place.
妳正在扮演受害者，將過錯推給其他人
When you’re fixing the world you don’t have to fix yourself.
當你在整頓這個世界時，就可以將自己的問題拋到腦後。
