[English]

For every one thing I gain, I let go of two

Such is the repetition of daily life.

I just don't care anymore.

I might as well lose everything.

The cat is sleeping.

I've been afraid for so long.

That if I keep going like this, I'll turn everything upside down.

Even perfect days for a walk are meaningless,

Kicking away Debussy, carried on the breeze.

I want to go to Heaven, if I just destroy everything.

An undisturbed heaven, don't ever wake me from this.

No more pain, humor doesn't even get through.

It's the end, He is no more, right here by my side.

Praying for one thing, swallowing two.

Such is the repetition of self-harm.

I'll become your absolute everything.

Because this is my mission!

The cat is crying.

I was scared for such a long, long time.

The sky I looked up at in Tokyo, a street vision screen.

It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts.

Kicking away the moonlight.

I want to go to Heaven, if I just destroy everything.

So I won't be fooled, I'm smiling again today.

I want to go to Heaven, if I just destroy everything.

I'll be able to meet you, I won't let you go anymore.

No more pain, unmoved by resentment or distortion.

You, and more, because you're not alone.

I want to go to Heaven, if I just destroy everything.

An undisturbed heaven, I'm not scared anymore.

You, and more, because you're not alone.

[Japanese]

ひとつ手にしてふたつ手放す

そんな日常の繰り返し

もうどうでもよくなっちゃったなぁ

いっそ全部失くしちゃいたいの

猫が眠っている

ずっと前から怖かった

このまま進んで逆さまになること

お散歩日和も意味のない

そよ風に流れた ドビュッシー 蹴飛ばす

I want to Heaven 全部 壊しちゃえば

邪魔されない天国 このまま醒めないで

No more painユーモアも通じない

もう終わり He is no more すぐそば

ひとつ祈ってふたつ飲み込む

そんな自傷の繰り返し

あなたの絶対になってあげるね

これがぼくの使命だからっ！

猫が鳴いている

ずっとずっと怖かった

東京で見上げた空 街頭ビジョン

痛い痛い痛い痛い痛い痛い痛い

月の光 蹴飛ばす

I want to Heaven全部 壊しちゃえば

騙されないように 今日も笑ってるの

I want to Heaven全部 壊しちゃえば

貴方に会える もう離さないわ

No more pain 恨み歪み動じない

You anyomore ひとりじゃないから

I want to Heaven 全部　壊しちゃえば

邪魔されない天国　もう怖くないわ

You anyomore ひとりじゃないから

Key Grammar Structures

• もうどうでもよくなっちゃったなぁ

  ➔ Contraction of ~てしまう (~ちゃった) and particle ~なぁ

  ➔ The phrase "よくなっちゃった" is a casual contraction of "よくなってしまった", indicating a completed change, often with a nuance of regret or something happening naturally. The particle "なぁ" expresses reflection, a sigh, or a strong feeling.

• いっそ全部失くしちゃいたいの

  ➔ Contraction of ~てしまう (~ちゃいたい) + ~たい and nominalizer ~の

  ➔ "失くしちゃいたい" is a casual contraction of "失くしてしまいたい", expressing a strong desire to do something completely or decisively, often with a sense of getting it over with. The final "の" functions as an informal nominalizer, adding emphasis or explaining a situation.

• このまま進んで逆さまになること

  ➔ Phrase このまま (kono mama) and nominalization with こと (~koto ni naru)

  ➔ "このまま" means 'as it is' or 'in this state'. "〜ことになる" indicates that something will or has come to pass, or expresses a natural consequence. Here, "なること" nominalizes the verb phrase, making it the object of fear.

• I want to Heaven 全部 壊しちゃえば

  ➔ Contraction of ~てしまえば (~chaeba)

  ➔ "壊しちゃえば" is a casual contraction of "壊してしまえば", combining the nuance of completion or decisiveness with a conditional meaning ('if I/you/we do it completely/decisively').

• 邪魔されない天国

  ➔ Passive Voice (Ukemi-kei) in negative form

  ➔ "邪魔されない" is the negative passive form of the verb "邪魔する" (to disturb/bother), meaning 'not to be disturbed' or 'not to be bothered'. This modifies "天国" (heaven).

• あなたの絶対になってあげるね

  ➔ Verb + てあげる (~te ageru) and particle ~ね

  ➔ "なってあげる" uses "〜てあげる", which indicates that the speaker performs an action for the benefit of someone else, implying a favor or an act of giving. The particle "ね" softens the statement and seeks agreement or confirmation.

• 騙されないように 今日も笑ってるの

  ➔ Purpose 'in order not to' (~nai you ni), casual progressive/state (~teru), and nominalizer (~no)

  ➔ "騙されないように" means 'in order not to be deceived' or 'so that I won't be deceived'. "笑ってる" is a casual form of "笑っている", indicating an ongoing action or state. The final "の" provides an explanation or adds emphasis.

• 貴方に会える もう離さないわ

  ➔ Potential Form (~eru) and feminine/emphatic particle ~わ (~wa)

  ➔ "会える" is the potential form of "会う" (to meet), meaning 'can meet'. "離さないわ" uses the particle "わ" with a negative verb, adding a strong, often feminine, declaration or resolve.

• You anyomore ひとりじゃないから

  ➔ Noun + じゃないから (ja nai kara)

  ➔ "じゃないから" is a common informal structure meaning 'because it is not ~' or 'since it is not ~'. It states a reason for a negative situation or statement.
