このまま死んだふりしていようか？

Should I keep pretending to be dead like this?

1mm(イチミリ)も動かないで

Don’t move even by a millimeter

一人で死んだふりするしかない

I have no choice but to pretend to die alone

もう呼吸なんかしない

I won’t breathe anymore

あれ　これか　いや　そっち　どれも

Is that... this... no, that way... all of them

いつも指示されてるばかり

Always just following orders

僕の意思そのものは

Where has my own will gone?

どこへ行ってしまったんだ？

I can’t speak, can’t resist

何も語れず　反抗できず

Just weakly obeying

従うだけの弱い自分

Made to act like I’m dead by someone

誰かに死んだふりさせられて

Why am I even alive?

何のために生きているのか？

I’ve been pretending to be dead for who knows how long

いつからか死んだふりしていたのは

Because I didn’t want to be noticed

気づかれたくないから

Even when pushed, I keep pretending to be dead

突(つつ)かれても死んだふりし続けてる

Like a worn-out rag

ボロ雑巾みたいなもの

Persistently pretending to be dead

頑なに死んだふり貫くのは

It’s just a defense instinct

防御本能さ

No! Impossible! Refuse! I hate it! Sorry!

No!　無理だ！　拒否！　嫌！　ごめん！

I can’t compromise at all

何も妥協できやしない

To anyone

そう誰に対しても

I build an invisible barrier

見えないバリアを張ってしまう

I was in despair until just now

絶望してた　たった今まで

This world is only darkness

この世界は暗闇だけ

Alive again, once more, myself

もう一度　生き返れ　僕自身

I was just hiding my passion

情熱は隠してただけ

Come on, wake up, come back to life

今すぐに　生き返れ　瞼(まぶた)開(あ)けて

Open your eyes

さあ魂の再生

Rebirth of the soul

何でもいい　生き返れ　蘇(よみがえ)ろう

Anything is fine, come back to life, revive

やり残した夢があるよ

There’s a dream I haven’t finished

何度でも　生き返れ　それが人生

Live again, as many times as needed, that’s life

永遠に続く

It continues forever

信念こそ

Conviction itself

命を燃やすエネルギー

Is the energy to burn with life

誰かに死んだふりさせられて

Made to act like I’m dead by someone

何のために生きているのか？

Why am I even alive?

いつからか死んだふりしていたのは

I’ve been pretending to be dead for who knows how long

気づかれたくないから

Because I didn’t want to be noticed

突(つつ)かれても死んだふりし続けてる

Even when pushed, I keep pretending to be dead

ボロ雑巾みたいなもの

Like a worn-out rag

頑なに死んだふり貫くのは

Persistently pretending to be dead

防御本能さ

It’s just a defense instinct

• 1mm(イチミリ)も動かないで

  ➔ も + Negation (mo + Negation)

  ➔ The particle 「"も"」 used with a negative verb 「"動かないで"」 emphasizes 'not even' or 'not at all'. Here, 「"動かないで"」 is a negative imperative, meaning 'don't move'.

• 一人で死んだふりするしかない

  ➔ Have no choice but to (~shika nai)

  ➔ The structure 「"〜しかない"」 literally means 'there is nothing but ~' and expresses that there is no other choice or option than the preceding action or thing. It implies 'have no choice but to do ~' or 'can only do ~'.

• もう呼吸なんかしない

  ➔ Such a thing as... (expressing disdain) (~nanka)

  ➔ The particle 「"なんか"」 is used after a noun or verb to express disdain, contempt, or a belittling attitude towards something. It can also mean 'something like' or 'such a thing as', often with a negative nuance.

• どこへ行ってしまったんだ？

  ➔ Completion/Regret (~te shimau)

  ➔ The structure 「"〜てしまった"」 indicates that an action has been completed, often with a nuance of regret, an undesirable outcome, or a state that has unfortunately ended. The ending 「"んだ"」 is the explanatory form (の+だ) often used in questions to seek explanation or provide emphasis.

• 何も語れず　反抗できず
