Lyrics & Translation
Composer: tofubeats
Stop motion, my chest is in an uproar
I have to hide it until the strobe flashes
Stop motion, under your gaze
Just like this, tututu
It's nothing in particular
Even our awkward relationship
Even my face, just ignore it
Dance tonight, baby
You give me easy answers
Today's horoscope
The rumored MBTI types
I don't believe them
Stiff and boring things
No one understands
That's how it is, right?
Life, you know
Cloudy with occasional sunshine
Just keeps repeating
What I understand a little is
I'm connected with you
What's the truth, though?
(What?)
Well, it's nothing, really
(What the heck?)
Two busy people
With something like this
It can't be helped
Stars that connect the heavens become constellations
I want to touch you, my trembling, unstable feelings
I know you, but at this distance
I can't stay like this
Stop motion, my chest is in an uproar
I have to hide it until the strobe flashes
Stop motion, under your gaze
Just like this, tututu
It's nothing in particular
Stop motion, my chest is in an uproar
I have to hide it until the strobe flashes
Stop motion, under your gaze
Just like this, tututu
It's nothing in particular
Have a have a have a have a have a have a nice day
The ones who haven't had enough fun gather
In a jacket corsage
Put on a dress
This is the prom
Schubert gathers
Nobody invited anyone, how picky
It's all backpasses
Seriously, glirlish
I want to be in the spotlight with you
So gonna make a big dream, let's go
Stop motion, my chest is in an uproar
I have to hide it until the strobe flashes
Stop motion, under your gaze
Just like this, tututu
It's nothing in particular
