[日本語]

[English]

毎日起きてコーヒーして

Every day I wake up and have my coffee

涙溢れないようなスマイルで

With a smile that won't let the tears overflow

マニュアル通りの生活で

Living life by the manual

死にそうなんだ i just wanna escape

I feel like I'm dying, I just wanna escape

wanna go, wanna go, wanna go

Wanna go, wanna go, wanna go

太陽が眩しすぎて

The sun is too dazzling

wanna go, wanna go, wanna go

Wanna go, wanna go, wanna go

プレッシャーに負けそうで (x2)

I feel like I'm about to crack under pressure (x2)

今から行こうよ underground, underground

Let's go now, underground, underground

ここから逃げよう underground, ground

Let's escape from here, underground, ground

なりたい自分にやっとなれる場所

A place where I can finally become who I want to be

皆で行こうよ underground, ground

Let's all go, underground, ground

チカチカ地下地下チッカ地下 (はい!)

Flashing underground, underground (yes!)

カチカチな世界から地下へ (hey!)

From this rigid world to the underground (hey!)

ピカピカピカピカ チッカ地下 (はい!)

Shiny, shiny, shiny, underground (yes!)

ピカピカおニューなワタシへ (hey!)

To my brand new self (hey!)

毎日倒れるように帰宅

Every day I come home as if I'm about to collapse

涙 我慢してすぐ眠る

Holding back tears, I fall asleep right away

自由になれる夢また見る

I dream again of being free

そして気付いたら朝が来る

And then I realize morning has come

wanna go, wanna go, wanna go

Wanna go, wanna go, wanna go

太陽が眩しすぎて

The sun is too dazzling

wanna go, wanna go, wanna go

Wanna go, wanna go, wanna go

プレッシャーに負けそうで (x2)

I feel like I'm about to crack under pressure (x2)

今から行こうよ underground, underground

Let's go now, underground, underground

ここから逃げよう underground, ground

Let's escape from here, underground, ground

なりたい自分にやっとなれる場所

A place where I can finally become who I want to be

皆で行こうよ underground, ground

Let's all go, underground, ground

チカチカ地下地下チッカ地下 (はい!)

Flashing underground, underground (yes!)

カチカチな世界から地下へ (hey!)
