Lyrics & Translation

[English] Get Ready
We were supposed to be shoulder to shoulder, but somehow I've fallen behind
No more dark echoes of 'just the two of us.'
Whatever. I’ll live how I want!
Profit talks carried by the breeze, jealousy, tears of laughter, and a bit of a drinker
Let it be to fleeting encounters
Still resenting kindness, biting into prayers desperately
In my love that I can't bare myself
Are you aware of it?
If I put it into words, it might become real or drift away
Cunningly, shyly, I run away
Then I decide to think of it in my own way
I've just decided to keep thinking about it
Now loading...
Sharing an umbrella felt like forever
I slowly tried to get closer to your unfamiliar voice
If I put it into words, it might come true or go far away
Just falling as smoke
Then I decide to think of it in my own way
Just keep thinking about it
Now, holding you close, focusing on what's missing
Because I realize it's not an unbeatable love
So I decide to think of it in my own way
I've made up my mind to just keep thinking about it

Key Grammar Structures

  • ちょっと置き去りだ

    ➔ The casual form of the verb 'おき去る' (to leave behind) with 'ちょっと' indicating 'a little'.

    ➔ 'ちょっと' means 'a little' or 'slightly', and here it softens the statement about being left behind.

  • 構うか

    ➔ Casual expression using 'か' to express a rhetorical or dismissive question, meaning 'Whatever' or 'Who cares'.

    ➔ 'か' at the end of the sentence gives a questioning or dismissive tone, implying indifference.

  • 気付いていたりはしますか?

    ➔ Use of the volitional form 'いる' + 'とか' to indicate ongoing or potential awareness, with 'はしますか' as a polite question.

    ➔ The combination suggests ongoing awareness or realization, and 'はしますか' politely asks if someone has noticed.

  • 今抱きしめる

    ➔ Using the purpose or intention form '今' + '抱きしめる' (to hug), expressing the act of hugging in the present moment.

    ➔ '今' indicates the present moment, and combined with '抱きしめる', it emphasizes the act of hugging happening now.

  • 敵わない愛じゃないからと

    ➔ Negative form of '敵わない' (cannot compete or match), combined with '愛じゃない' (not love) and 'から' to indicate reason, meaning 'Because it's not an unbeatable love'.

    ➔ '敵わない' means 'cannot compare or compete with', and negating it clarifies that the love isn't unbeatable.
