れびてーしょん – Bilingual Lyrics Japanese/English

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Our vanished hangout, a lewd playground, an endless toy chest

A spotless infrastructure that's merely a copy of reality, and healthy people

We're held fast by our connections

The notifications never cease

I really wish I could float away from reality

Because everyone understands whenever I wound myself

I wanted to stay a naughty child here forever

I don't want to be lonely, yet tonight I wish to be alone

There's nowhere even an unreal escape to scream and go wild

The entire world berates me

I close my eyes, then open them again

Everyone has forgotten

We're fed up with advertisements

Without exception, we're tied to our devices

You never tell us what you truly want, do you?

Because everyone envies me whenever I fake myself

I thought I could stay cute forever

I don't want to be lonely, but tonight I want to be solitary

Even when I scratch my throat until it bleeds, someone still chastises me

Return it, please return it

You only liked us!

Thanks to the wings everyone mocked, we could stay airborne

Why, and since when have we been breathing reality?

Love has turned into a parody of itself

I guess it's time for me to say goodbye

I wanted to stay a naughty child here forever

[Japanese]

なくなっちゃった僕らの居場所、猥雑な遊び場、尽きないおもちゃ箱

ただ現実をコピーしただけの清潔なインフラ、健康な人々

僕らは連絡に掴まれている

永遠に通知は止まない

ほんとは現実から浮いていたいのにね

自分を傷つけるたびに、みんながわかってくれるから

ずっとここで悪い子でいたかったのに

独りになりたくないけど、一人にはなりたい夜

大声を出して暴れるための非現実すらどこにもない

世界全部が僕を罵る

目を閉じ、また開ける

みんな忘れている

僕らは広告につかれている

例外なく端末と共に

ほんとに欲しいものは教えないくせにね

自分を偽るたびに、みんな羨んでくれるから

ずっと可愛くいられたはずだったのに

独りになりたくないけど、一人にはなりたい夜

首掻きむしって血が出ることすらもう誰かが叱ってくれる

返して、返してよ

僕らしか好きじゃなかったろ！

みんな嗤っていた翼で、地に足をつけずにいられた

どうして、いつから現実で息してんだろ

愛はいまや愛のパロディ

僕もそろそろお別れを言わなきゃ

ずっとここで悪い子でいたかったのに

Key Grammar Structures

• なくなっちゃった僕らの居場所、猥雑な遊び場、尽きないおもちゃ箱

  ➔ Past tense + nominalization + listing

  ➔ The sentence uses the past tense 'なくなっちゃった' (disappeared) to describe lost places. The following phrases are nominalized (turned into nouns) and listed to create a melancholic image. The 'ちゃった' is a colloquial contraction of 'しまった', adding a sense of regret.

• 自分を傷つけるたびに、みんながわかってくれるから

  ➔ Conditional clause + reason

  ➔ This sentence uses 'たびに' (every time) to express a repeated action and its consequence. The 'から' (because) indicates the reason why the speaker continues to self-harm – they feel understood by others when they do.

• 独りになりたくないけど、一人にはなりたい夜

  ➔ Contradictory desires + 'には'

  ➔ This line expresses a paradox – the desire for solitude ('一人') but not loneliness ('独り'). The particle 'には' emphasizes the nuance of wanting to *become* alone, a state of being, rather than simply *being* alone.

• 世界全部が僕を罵る

  ➔ Subject + Verb + Object

  ➔ A straightforward sentence structure. '世界全部が' (the whole world) is the subject, '罵る' (to scold/curse) is the verb, and '僕を' (me) is the object. It conveys a feeling of complete alienation.
