[Intro]
十八年華 已是 半生 繁夢
淨下清歡 送去 一世 秋風
溯迴初見 歲月 悠長 珍重
掠過餘生 瞬息 煙雨 匆匆

[Verse 1]
稚齒時光 借取 幾分 濃重
初識春花 惹來 萬點 驚鴻
一筆之深 銘刻 硯中 殘墨
一語之纖 繚繞 案前 晚鐘

那時 蟬鳴 尚可 困住 仲夏
那時 飛花 亦能 綴滿 驚訝
萬物 起始 總如 巨浪 拍打
深埋 底蘊 築起 萬頃 堤沙

[Hook]
十八年華 已是 半生 繁夢
淨下清歡 送去 一世 秋風

[Verse 2]
步履遲遲 慣看 舊時 巷弄
殘影消磨 褪去 往日 朦朧
若然 相似 難逃 歲月 篩動
刪去 冗餘 剩低 枯燥 相同

昨夜 孤燈 猶如 隔世 倒影
今朝 歸途 淪為 盲目 路程
省卻 繁文 只留 枯索 姓名
感知 卻在 減損 默示 宿命

[Chorus]
十八年華 已是 半生 繁夢
淨下清歡 送去 一世 秋風
溯迴初見 歲月 悠長 珍重
掠過餘生 瞬息 煙靄 匆匆

[Bridge]
萬匯 之初 始終 佔據 重位
越過 巔峰 終歸 寂寂 無為
世界 偏愛 起首 那份 昂貴
往後 追逐 只是 疊影 隱退

[Hook]
十八年華 已是 半生 繁夢
淨下清歡 送去 一世 秋風

[Verse 3]
三七歲月 恰似 斷橋 飛雪
一半平生 早已 寫入 殘月
青春 孤勇 曾經 烈火 熾熱
餘下 光陰 漸漸 歸於 簡潔

莫嘆 韶華 偏心 於那 初始
莫怪 蒼天 剪裁 往後 章詞
若果 驚喜 終須 化作 尋常
且將 餘溫 收藏 靜候 晨光

[Final Chorus]
十八年華 已是 半生 繁夢
淨下清歡 送去 一世 秋風
溯迴初見 歲月 悠長 珍重
掠過餘生 瞬息 煙靄 匆匆

[Outro]
上九 之巔 俯瞰 眾生 跌宕
歸一 之處 才是 萬法 馨香
感知 雖短 念頭 卻可 寬廣
半生 已過 餘味 依然 悠 揚

[Intro]
Eighteen years, half a life in vivid dreams
Simple joys remain, as the autumn wind screams
Tracing back to the start, years were long and dear
The rest flies by, a fleeting mist, disappearing here

[Verse 1]
Childhood days, borrowing weight so profound
First spring blooms, wonder in every sound
One deep stroke, etched in the inkstone’s stain
One soft word, lingers like a bell in the rain

Back then, cicada songs could trap the summer heat
Back then, drifting petals made the surprise complete
Every beginning crashes like a tidal wave
Buried deep, building banks that the waters crave

[Hook]
Eighteen years, half a life in vivid dreams
Simple joys remain, as the autumn wind screams

[Verse 2]
Steps grow slow, walking alleys old and grey
Shadows wear thin, the mist has faded away
If days look the same, time’s sieve filters through
Cutting the excess, leaving just the dull and true

Last night’s lamp, a reflection from a life before
Morning’s path, a blind march and nothing more
Details lost, just a withered name to sign
Senses fade, a silent fate begins to define

[Chorus]
Eighteen years, half a life in vivid dreams
Simple joys remain, as the autumn wind screams
Tracing back to the start, years were long and dear
The rest flies by, a fleeting mist, disappearing here

[Bridge]
The start of all things holds the weight of the crown
Past the peak, silence and stillness settle down
The world loves the cost of the very first view
Chasing on, just fading shadows, nothing new

[Hook]
Eighteen years, half a life in vivid dreams
Simple joys remain, as the autumn wind screams

[Verse 3]
Years flow by, like snow on a broken bridge so cold
Half a life written on the waning moon, I'm told
Youthful grit, once a fire burning bright and hot
Time that remains, returns to a simpler plot

Don't sigh that time favors the start of the play
Don't blame the heavens for cutting the chapters away
If surprise must turn to the common and plain
Keep the warmth, wait for sunlight to rise again

[Final Chorus]
Eighteen years, half a life in vivid dreams
Simple joys remain, as the autumn wind screams
Tracing back to the start, years were long and dear
The rest flies by, a fleeting mist, disappearing here

[Outro]
From the Ninth Peak, watching the rise and the fall
Returning to One, the sweetest truth of them all
Senses are short, but the mind can travel wide
Half life gone... yet the melody... stays by my side
