Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

寝溜めしたって 意味ないの知ってる

I know it's pointless, even if I sleep in

ぼーっと他人のダンス スクロール人生

I'm scrolling through life, watching others dance

機嫌取って礼典 変わり映えない失点

I'm trying to put on a good face, but it's just a facade

怠惰くるまって 論理集中プレイゲーム

I'm stuck in a lazy cycle, playing a game of logic

Shiney likea gingerエール込みで 酩酊

Shining like a ginger ale, I'm drunk and dizzy

踊(ダンス)っちまう絶頂 返事 オン ザ ホリック

I'm dancing to the top, but it's just a hollow response

街灯の明かり 照らして my pain

The streetlights shine down on me, illuminating my pain

誰かのハッピー 祝ってる 僻んで

I'm celebrating someone else's happiness, but I'm on the outside

焦りが はみ出した

My anxiety is spilling out

かと言って 日差しが眩しいほど

But even so, the sunlight is blindingly bright

体は だる重じゃん

My body feels heavy and dull

ありがちな 感情モドキを

I'm just going through the motions of emotions

踊ったとて 何者でもない

Even if I dance, I'm still nobody

でも今更 引き下がれない

But it's too late to back down now

“皆が寝静まれば 僕の出番来る”

"When everyone else is asleep, it's my turn"

冴えないリズムで 踊り明かすからね

I'll dance through the night with a dull rhythm

海馬まで 灰だらけ

Even my hippocampus is covered in ash

誰が僕を わかった気になれんのかね

Who can really understand me?

夜は情け 肺が鳴け 廃

The night is cruel, my lungs are screaming, I'm exhausted

ネット上で息してる 結んで開いて

I'm just existing online, opening and closing

顔も見えないやつの 助言なんて0点

The advice of faceless people is worthless

一過性のエンカウント 通じ合えない礼儀

A fleeting encounter, a meaningless courtesy

命令通りじゃ 傷んでくし いずれ腐ってく

Following orders just hurts me, and I'll eventually rot

はぁーーーー 綺羅キラ星だ

Ah, it's all just a meaningless, sparkling star

吸って吐いて 貸し借りしよ？

Should I just breathe in and out, and borrow and lend?

踊ったとて 何者でもない

Even if I dance, I'm still nobody

でも今更 引き下がれない

But it's too late to back down now

“皆が寝静まれば 僕の出番来る”

"When everyone else is asleep, it's my turn"

冴えないリズムで 踊り明かすからね

I'll dance through the night with a dull rhythm

海馬まで 灰だらけ

Even my hippocampus is covered in ash

誰が僕を わかった気になれんのかね

Who can really understand me?

夜は情け 肺が鳴け 拝

The night is cruel, my lungs are screaming, I'm exhausted

段々スタンスが雑

My stance is getting more and more sloppy

ダンスダンス ステップ複雑

Dance, dance, the steps are complicated

乱雑に 刻み込まれてしまった

I'm being carved up by the chaos

段々スタンスが雑

My stance is getting more and more sloppy

ダンスダンス ステップ複雑

Dance, dance, the steps are complicated

ただ惨めだけが 夜を庇った

Only my misery is protecting the night

皆が寝静まれば 僕の出番来る...

"When everyone else is asleep, it's my turn..."

“葬 皆が寝静まれば 僕の出番来る”

"Bury me, when everyone else is asleep, it's my turn"

冴えないリズムで 踊り明かすからね

I'll dance through the night with a dull rhythm

海馬まで 灰だらけ

Even my hippocampus is covered in ash

誰が僕を わかった気になれんのかね

Who can really understand me?

夜は情け 肺が鳴け

The night is cruel, my lungs are screaming

冴えないイズムで 踊り負かすからね

I'll dance to defeat the night with a dull ideology

海馬まで 嗅いだだけ

Even my hippocampus is just a faint scent

過去問解いて わかった気になれんのかね

Can I understand the past, and feel like I've understood?

夜明けのbrain ガイアだけhigh

My brain is high on the dawn, only Gaia is high
