[English]

It seems my brain isn't functioning normally

It's getting really frustrating, isn't it?

"AHAHAHA!"

Stop trying to make me laugh; actually, that's kind of funny

Nice! That bit of consideration actually earns you high points

The winner can have as much of whatever they want

I just wanted to catch that girl's eye

I play the fool to impress her, then I feel embarrassed

A "cool idiot" is the way to go; you think so too, right?

Saying you have nothing you can't compromise on...

If that's true, have you completely lost it?!

I wonder what our younger selves

Would think if they saw us now

It's like I'm being haunted by the silence

It's getting really frustrating, isn't it?

"AHAHAHA!"

Try to make me laugh; I want to love everything

Nice! So that when the time comes to say goodbye

I can say "everything until now was happiness," let's love myself

I just wanted to catch that girl's eye

So I become "someone else" instead of myself

"So cool!" Shut up, you idiot

I wonder what "precious" really means

Saying you have nothing you can't compromise on...

If that's true, have you completely lost it?!

I wonder what our younger selves

Would think if they saw us now

I wanted to shine in my own way

But I ended up misunderstanding what "happy" means

I want someone who can embrace love

At least, that's how I feel

Saying you have no one dear to you...

If that's true, something is seriously wrong!!

Look around you, see?

Living in the moment, I wonder what we'll think

We've been "Japanese-brained" from the start

Leaving it to others, lacking confidence, lacking interest

Realize your ignorance quickly; a world

Where no enemies exist is being created right here

[Japanese]

正常な脳では無い様だ

嫌になっちゃうね

「AHAHAHA！」

笑わせないでよ 逆にオモシロイね

Nice！ 今の気配りは実は高得点でしたよ

優勝者には 好きなものを好きなだけどうぞ

あの子の目に留まりたくて

戯けて魅せては恥ずかしくなるよ

かっこいい馬鹿がいいな お前もそうだろう。

譲れないもの無いとか

本当なら どうかしちゃったの？！

あの頃の私達は

今をみて なにを思うだろうな

静寂に魘される様だ

嫌になっちゃうね

「AHAHAHA！」

笑わせてみてよ 全部愛したいね

Nice！ 今の今までの全て幸福でしたと

別れの際に言えるように 私を愛しましょう

あの子の目に留まりたくて

自分じゃない「別の人」になるの

「かっこいい～！」馬鹿が言うな

「大切」はなんだろう

譲れないもの無いとか

本当なら どうかしちゃったの？！

あの頃の私達は

今をみて なにを思うだろうな

私なりに輝りたくて

ハッピーを履き違えてしまうの

愛を抱ける人がいいな

自分は そう思う

愛おしい人が居ないとか

本当なら どうかしちゃったよ！！

周りを見渡して ほら

今を生きて なにを思うだろうな

私等は端から日本脳

任せ合い 自信がない 興味もない

早く無知に気付け 敵の居ない

世界がほら出来上がる
