Lyrics & Translation
I'm scrolling through life, watching others dance
I'm trying to put on a good face, but it's just a facade
I'm stuck in a lazy cycle, playing a game of logic
Shining like a ginger ale, I'm drunk and dizzy
I'm dancing to the top, but it's just a hollow response
The streetlights shine down on me, illuminating my pain
I'm celebrating someone else's happiness, but I'm on the outside
My anxiety is spilling out
But even so, the sunlight is blindingly bright
My body feels heavy and dull
I'm just going through the motions of emotions
Even if I dance, I'm still nobody
But it's too late to back down now
"When everyone else is asleep, it's my turn"
I'll dance through the night with a dull rhythm
Even my hippocampus is covered in ash
Who can really understand me?
The night is cruel, my lungs are screaming, I'm exhausted
I'm just existing online, opening and closing
The advice of faceless people is worthless
A fleeting encounter, a meaningless courtesy
Following orders just hurts me, and I'll eventually rot
Ah, it's all just a meaningless, sparkling star
Should I just breathe in and out, and borrow and lend?
Even if I dance, I'm still nobody
But it's too late to back down now
"When everyone else is asleep, it's my turn"
I'll dance through the night with a dull rhythm
Even my hippocampus is covered in ash
Who can really understand me?
The night is cruel, my lungs are screaming, I'm exhausted
My stance is getting more and more sloppy
Dance, dance, the steps are complicated
I'm being carved up by the chaos
My stance is getting more and more sloppy
Dance, dance, the steps are complicated
Only my misery is protecting the night
"When everyone else is asleep, it's my turn..."
"Bury me, when everyone else is asleep, it's my turn"
I'll dance through the night with a dull rhythm
Even my hippocampus is covered in ash
Who can really understand me?
The night is cruel, my lungs are screaming
I'll dance to defeat the night with a dull ideology
Even my hippocampus is just a faint scent
Can I understand the past, and feel like I've understood?
My brain is high on the dawn, only Gaia is high
