As per usual, a big shoutout goes to Hua Chenyu English Subs. They provide great subtitles for these Hua Chenyu performances, which in turn allows me to analyze the lyrics and get a better understanding of the songs.

They were also kind enough to provide Chinese subtitles for this video, which you can access through the 'Settings' button.

Here is their English translation for this song:
If only the world could be muted
Don't wake me up from my dream
If only the music could be paused
Hear me out

If only we could go back to that moment
And sing once more
My favorite song If only that passion could last
Just let me persist till the end

Surround me with cheers for one more second
Let me lose myself in this moment
Remind me with one more scream that the name people love is mine

If that limelight follows after me
Could I ask it to truly illuminate me?
If that firework falls after exploding
Don't burn me when it scatters

If I am the only one left on stage
Singing my lungs out to an audience of empty seats
If it is too desolate after the crowd disperses
Would you hand me a mirror as a company?

All happiness deserts me after embracing me
Telling me to forget the dazzling parts
As I futilely looked back in hopes of finding the clue to happiness
That ray of light stretched my shadow and escaped from me

All the bygones abandoned me after they saw through me
Leaving behind a song that scolds me Let the world forget that I once existed
Please don't try to redeem me once more If only the world could be muted
Don't wake me up from this dream If this show will also drop its curtain
After it ends
I too will forget
myself
