Lyrics & Translation

[Japanese]

[English]

いつからだろう

I wonder when it all started

刹那的な俗を飲み込んで

Swallowing the fleeting trivialities

ゾクゾクしてれば罪がないんで

As long as I shiver, I'm innocent

いつまでたっても見つからないね

I still can't find it no matter how long I look

傷つかぬよう

To avoid getting hurt

自分を守る言い訳などし

Making excuses to protect myself

死に至る頃にゃ守れやしない

By the time I die, I won’t be able to protect anything

言い聞かせること 生きてこそ

Telling myself it’s okay, that’s living

ダート

Dart

あなたは正しい

You’re right

嫌な事柄 しっしっし

Annoying stuff, shoo shoo

今の僕はアパシー

Right now, I feel apathy

しっしっし

Shoo shoo

今日まで一体どうやって生きてきたんだっけ

How did I manage to live until today?

無理したんだっけ

Did I force myself?

今から一体どうやって生きてきゃいいんだろうね

I wonder how I should live from here on?

その不安さえ

Even this worry

くたびれたと言えるのか

Can I really say it's worn out?

愛も無い もう憂いも 憂いも 憂いも

No love, no more worries, worries, worries

いつからだろう

I wonder when it all started

刹那的な俗を飲み込んで

Swallowing the fleeting trivialities

ゾクゾクしてれば罪がないんで

As long as I shiver, I'm innocent

いつまでたっても見つからないね

I still can't find it no matter how long I look

傷つかぬよう

To avoid getting hurt

自分を守る言い訳などし
