[English]

Why so serious? No worries

We're already on fire

Even if we burn out, they can't break us

Because we're diamonds

Once we start, we can't stop

At this rate, there's no control

Anxiety seems to outweigh hope

And I'm okay being vulnerable

It doesn't mean that I'm weak

But I have a fierce mystique

Wishes, fantasies, and hopes

A mix of conflicts and confusion

I don't care what they say

Holding strength even in vulnerability

Our connected days become melodies, lasting forever

Oh...

Why so serious? No worries

We're already on fire

Even if we burn out, they can't break us

Because we're

Unbreakable Diamonds

Won't be crushed, don't mess with me

Untouchable Diamonds

Beyond generations

I see new horizons

Shining gems, they're shining on me

Hear me out, I am the siren;

"No pressure, no diamonds"

Why so serious? No worries

We're already on fire

Even if we burn out, they can't break us

Because we're diamonds

The endless fight can't be stopped, it's okay to end it

The worldly tricks that want us to act the fool

Ignore them and go your way

Open your eyes, pour your dreams

A proof of life and destiny

Rewriting non-fiction

I don't care at all what they say

Showing weakness as pride

Shining so brightly, forever radiant

Oh...

Why so serious? No worries

We're already on fire

Even if we burn out, they can't break us

Because we're

Unbreakable Diamonds

Won't be crushed, don't mess with me

Untouchable Diamonds

Beyond generations

I see new horizons

Shining gems, they're shining on me

Hear me out, I am the siren;

"No pressure, no diamonds"

Why so serious? No worries

We're already on fire

They can't break us

We're diamonds

They can't break us

We're diamonds

They can't break us

We're diamonds

They can't break us

Because we're diamonds

Unbreakable diamonds

Won't be crushed, don't mess with me

Untouchable diamonds

Beyond generations

I see new horizons

Shining gems, they're shining on me

Hear me out, I am the siren;

"No pressure, no diamonds"

Why so serious? No worries

We're already on fire

Even if we burn out, they can't break us

Because we're diamonds

[Japanese]

Why so serious? 心配ない

We already on fire

燃え尽きても they can't break us

Cause we're diamonds

始めると止まれなそう

このままコントロール不能

不安が期待を上回りそう

And I'm okay being vulnerable

Doesn't mean that I'm weak

But a savage mystique

願い、妄想、そして希望

綯い交ぜのコンフリクション

I don't care 大体 what they say

弱さ見せる強さも 胸に抱いて

繋ぐ日々が旋律になって 永遠となる

Oh...

Why so serious? 心配ない

We already on fire

燃え尽きても they can't break us

Cause we're

砕けやしない Diamonds

潰されない Don't mess with me

傷つかない Diamonds

Beyond the generations

I see my new horizons

輝くgems, it's shining on me

Hear me out, I'm the siren;

"No pressure, no diamonds"

Why so serious? 心配ない

We already on fire

燃え尽きても they can't break us

Cause we're diamonds

止められない消耗戦 終わらせてOK

道化演じさせたがる俗世

知らんぷりで Go your way

目を開いて 夢注いで

生命の証明そして運命

覆してくノンフィクション

I don't care 全然 what they say

弱さ見せる強さが 誇りとなって

あきれるほどに輝いて 永久に光る

Oh...

Why so serious? 心配ない

We already on fire

燃え尽きても they can't break us

Cause we're
