Back to It

By Mu Yi

When tide rising, you should choose to turn
Your back to it, to the tidal bore with your lifetime
Back to the raised muzzle
Back to the camera lens
Back to your lover's sight
But the most important thing--
To have your back towards the truth

English tr. by Chen Zihong

背对

木易

涨潮时，请选择背对
用你此生去背对潮水
背对枪口
背对镜头
背对爱人的目光
最重要的是
背对真相
