ごちゃごちゃのtableと空っぽの心

Messy table, empty heart

今日は自分を褒めるために何しよう

Today, what should I do to praise myself?

みんな悪いところばっかfocusでもしょうがない

Focusing only on my faults isn’t gonna help

I just wanna brush it off

聞きたくなくて耳を塞いだ

singing lalala 霧が少し晴れた

Singing lalala, the fog’s clearing a little

家帰る道が泣いてる空

The road home, the crying sky

さくら色のティント、あなた色に染まる

Cherry-colored tint, dyed in your color

何回失敗してもいてほしいそば

No matter how many times I fail, I want you there

始発まで2時間、よく行ってたね磯丸

Two hours till the first train, I used to go to iso-maru often

楽しい今より、考えちゃう不安なこと

Worries that plague me more than happy times

地元まるで優しい肌触りのコットン

Like gentle cotton touching my hometown

スクラッチチャンスで2等でたら半分こ

If I get second place in a scratch chance, let’s share it

知らない連絡先でも来年ここでまた会おう

Even if it’s an unknown contact, let’s meet again next year here

幕張メッセ引いてる地雷ライン

Landmine line pulling at幕張 Messe

上手く貼りついたつけま、帰ったらうがい

My false lashes stuck well, rinse when I get home

ねぇまだ間に合うわ終電の5分前

Hey, there’s still time, five minutes before the last train

願った生活一個ずつ叶うんだね

All the life I wish for is coming true one by one

気にしてないよ今誰の声も

I’m not worried about anyone’s voice right now

不安やネガもいらないよanymore

Key Grammar Structures

• 髪変じゃない？

  ➔ じゃない (janai) - Negative Question Tag

  ➔ This uses "じゃない" as a tag question, implying a softening of the question. It literally translates to 'Isn't it weird?', but in context, it asks for reassurance about the hair.

• 気にしてないよ今誰の声も

  ➔ ～も (mo) - Emphatic Particle indicating 'also' or 'even'. Combining with negative form.

  ➔ Here, "も" is used with the negative form "ない" to emphasize that the speaker doesn't care about *any* voices.

• 自分は自分ってわかってるけれど

  ➔ って (tte) - Informal Quotation/Topic Marker

  ➔ "って" here acts as a topic marker, emphasizing the phrase before it: "自分は自分", meaning "I am who I am". It highlights the concept before proceeding to contrast it with the "けれど" (but).

• またもがいて

  ➔ また (mata) - Again, once more.

  ➔ "また" signifies the repetition of an action or state, meaning 'again'. In this context, it indicates that the struggling is happening repeatedly.

• 嫌気がさすんだ自分の汚さや脆さも、もう

  ➔ 嫌気がさす (iyakigasasu) - To be fed up with, to be sick of something. んだ (nda) - Explanatory/Emphasis.

  ➔ "嫌気がさす" means "to be fed up with", and "んだ" adds emphasis and explanation to the speaker's feeling. The "も" emphasizes that she's fed up with both her dirtiness and fragility.

• 始発まで2時間、よく行ってたね磯丸

  ➔ よく (yoku) - Often, frequently. ～ね (ne) - Sentence-ending particle seeking agreement or conveying emotion.

  ➔ "よく行ってた" means "used to go often", and the "ね" adds a sense of nostalgia or confirmation, as if remembering a shared experience with someone.

• 上手く貼りついたつけま、帰ったらうがい

  ➔ ～たら (tara) - Conditional form indicating 'if' or 'when'

  ➔ The "たら" form indicates a conditional action. Here, "帰ったらうがい" means "When I get home, I'll gargle". It expresses what the speaker will do *after* arriving home.
