Lyrics & Translation
I'm always left out
I bit down with bloodshot eyes
Where are my allies?
Even today, we lick our wounds
Putting on a brave face
I'm protecting my place
I'm waiting for you
It can't be simply divided in black and white
People are always ambiguous creatures
What are we tightly holding onto?
There are no guardrails in life
If I lose my grip, I'll go off course
If I fall straight down
I'll be treated like a monster right away
Get out of the way, get out of the way
Is it justice or evil now?
It's not that simple
It's always time-limited
I'm always left out
I bit down with bloodshot eyes
Where are my allies?
Even today, we lick our wounds
Putting on a brave face
I'm protecting my place
I'm waiting for you
I feel like I'm being crushed in this messy room
People are always cowardly creatures
Closed windows make it hard to breathe
Is it weighing me down?
A trivial grand romance in the big city
If you want to fly high, you have to bend your knees
You can't jump without crouching
All alone, loneliness swirling
I have to escape from here
I want to like myself
Why not try believing in tomorrow?
No matter how many pretty words I line up
The society continues to turn mercilessly
Useless things get cut off
Here comes the justification
This is how absurdity prevails
Even if I'm buried without knowing
I can't back down
Watching the people flowing
In front of the station
In the big city, even trivial conversations
Are annoyingly bothersome
Where am I, who am I?
Shadows of memories full of patches
Unrelated to the sparkling feast
Sucked into the everyday, good night
It's always time-limited
I'm always left out
I bit down with bloodshot eyes
Where are my allies?
Even today, we lick our wounds
Putting on a brave face
I'm protecting my place
I'm waiting for you
Why not try believing in tomorrow?
No matter how many pretty words I line up
The society continues to turn mercilessly
Useless things get cut off
Here comes the justification
This is how absurdity prevails
Even if I'm buried without knowing
I can't back down
I won't, I won't, I won't...
