Go!♭

I’m Dr. Pretender, here to bomb you with love.
If it’s something that simple, it’s been concealed, your con-cern, concern.
I’m Dr. Pretender, I’m maybe friendly.
My hazy auto-mode, too, has inhumed the meta, meta.

When you were sleeping because there’s nowhere for you to go,
I’ve examined your broken down, crying dreams.
Next appointment,
it’ll all start to seem like lies.

Your FACE→is gonna turn into a blunt weapoN!
This fake→has earned his1 qualifications!
Your mental affliction for wanting me to disappear,
has SOMEHOW lived on and long!
It’s lived on and long!!

Your foot→is gonna become a toe biteR!
These lies→have become my motivation!
That instinct I’ve got, wanting you to doubt me,
I SOMEHOW thought they were my true feelings!
I thought they were my true feelings!!
Amiright?

I want everyone to tell me their weak points.
Thanks.

I’m Dr. Pretender. End it all, already.
This attitude reaches deep,
a deadly poison to those strong emotions.
The “win” in the win/loss,
was the only part that spun and split off, split off.

Your FACE→is gonna turn into a blunt weapoN!
This fake→has earned his qualifications!
Your mental affliction for wanting me to disappear,
has SOMEHOW lived on and long!
It’s lived on and long!!

That sound→is going to turn into a feature!
People→gather under false pretences! Close up those ears!
SOMEHOW, it looks like it’s not gonna reach ‘em!
Looks like it’s not gonna reach ‘em, HUH!!
Amiright?

Translation notes

1 No gendered pronouns in Japanese - I’ve assumed masculine pronouns here for readability but who knows, maybe our charlatanic protagonist’s a she.

Though I love you so much, though I love you so much, one day I got lost in the darkness and froze up.
Though I love you so much, though I love you so much, the overwhelming sorrow pierces my heart.
Though I love you so much.

My quarters1 are a mess. I’m sewing, sewing. In the unlucky LAGOON, corpses pile up.
Euthanasia reviews say the “pain pain went away.” Degraded, degraded, degraded degradation.
There’s no tutorial for this, this road is brutal. Antagonising others with my suffering, huge nails stick out.2
My willpower’s being half-destroyed, how miserable. I envy your smooth sailing.3

Why, why is it so painful? Why, why is it inflamed bright red?
I’m not satisfied, huh? Why does it hurt so much? All I’ll do is lie on the floor like this for my whole life.
Shall I give you medicine too?

Though I love you so much, though I love you so much, it’s almost like you’re a stranger. I feel like a DUMMY DUMMY.
I’m sick, sick with solitude. We fall4 without understanding each other at all.
Why, why, why am I crying? See!

Ah, ah, ah, ah. Shupi-paripa, pipipi.
Shupi-pani, pipipi, shupi-paripa. Huh?
No, no! Ahh, ahh, shupi-paripa, pipipi.
Shupi-pani, shupi-pa, shupi-pari-sick of this…

Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Why, why is it so painful? Why, why is it inflamed bright red?
I won’t get better. The gauze, the gauze is so uncomfortable. My whole life is no more than a miserable story running amok with chaos.
Shall I give you medicine too?
Drool dripping, shall we up your dosage?

Though I love you so much, though I love you so much, as it is, you’re a stranger. Backchanneling like a DUMMY DUMMY.
I’m sick, sick with solitude. I’m totally engrossed in my TLs.
Why, why, why am I crying? See?!

Ah, ah, ah, ah. Shupi-paripa, pipipi.
Shupi-pani, pipipi, shupi-paripa. Huh?
No, no! Ahh, ahh, shupi-paripa, pipipi.
Shupi-pani, shupi-pa, shupi-pari, pipipipi.
Shupi-pani, shupi-pa, shupi-pari-so damn annoying…

Though I love you so much, though I love you so much, in order to hammer down these nails, you leave a stamp on my sorrow.5
Though I love you so much, though I love you so much, I’ll put down roots behind closed doors, as if discarding my husk.
Even though I had loved you so much…

Translation notes

1 I’m assuming “自陣” here means personal space. I tried to think of a more apt way to convey that and settled with “my quarters” as in an allocated space, but given the menhera hikkineet sort of vibe I’m getting from this, “my room” could work as an alternative.
2 Likely referencing the idiom “出る杭は打たれる”/“the nail that sticks out gets hammered down.”
3 (Ⅳ 　 Ⅴ 　 Ⅲm 　 Ⅵm) references the Royal road progression.
4 There’s a double meaning here - “falling down” but also “falling in love”.
5 Could possibly be a metaphor for leaving likes on vent tweets.

Honey of Disaster - Nashimoto Ui ft. Hatsune Miku (Sanji no Honey / 惨事のハニー)

いっそのことなら夢のまんまでよかった
覚めない現実ほど悲しいものはない
どんなに好きになったって
失恋さえもできやしない
何てさみしい片想いなのでしょう

そっちの世界はなんだか楽しそーだね
何でだろ やたら輝いて見えるよ
君がそばにいてくれるなら
色あせ始めた毎日も
輝きだしたりすんじゃないかって
そんな希望もゆるされないの？

ハニー 君が好きだよ 口にしても届かない
こんな近くにいるはずなのに あぁ
ハニー 君の世界へつれてっておくれ
いつまでもかなわない 夢だと知っても願うよ

どーせこんなのは全部まやかしなんでしょ？
わかってる けれどわかりたくないのよ
もしも生まれかわれるなら
今すぐ君のそばにいきたい
誰かこんな臆病な僕に
空をはばたく勇気をちょーだい

ハニー 君が好きだよ 口にしても届かない
こんな近くにいるはずなのに あぁ
ハニー 君も僕を好きだっと言って
嘘でもいい　信じるの　いつかは醒める夢だもの

愛の意味は知らないけれど
確かに君を愛してるの
もしもそれが愛じゃなくても
それにかわる言葉を贈ろ

だからどーか私の声を聞いて
もっと近くで声を聞いて
この想い君に届いたらいいな

あぁ

ハニー 君が好きだよ 口にしても届かない
こんな近くにいるはずなのに あぁ
ハニー 君の世界へつれてっておくれ
いつまでもかなわない 夢だと知っても願うよ

ハニー 君が好きだよ 声を大にして言おう
どーか想いが届きますよーに あぁ
ハニー いつかそっちへつれてっておくれ
いつまでも 待ってるよ どーかそれまで醒めないで

ハニー

It would have been better if it were a dream.
There’s nothing sadder than a reality you can’t wake from.
No matter how much I love you,
I can’t even have my heart broken by you.
What a lonely unrequited love this is.

Somehow, your world seems so fun.
Why, I wonder? It looks so radiant.
If you were by my side,
even my colourless everyday life
would start to glimmer, wouldn’t it?
Is even that wish unforgivable?

Honey, I love you, but my words won’t reach you.
Even though I’m this close to you, ah…
Honey, whisk me off to your world.
But that’ll forever be impossible. I know that it’s a dream, but I’ll keep wishing…

After all, this is all just make-believe, isn’t it?
I know that, but I wish I didn’t.
If only I could be reborn,
I’d go to your side straight away.
Someone, please give my cowardly self
the courage to spread my wings in the sky.

Honey, I love you, but my words won’t reach you.
Even though I’m this close to you, ah…
Honey, tell me you love me too.
It’s okay if it’s a lie. I’ll believe you anyway. One day, I’ll wake up from this dream.

I don’t understand what love is,
but surely, I love you.
And if this isn’t love,
I’ll give you some words in its place.

So please, hear my voice.
Come closer and hear me.
Wouldn’t it be lovely if I could deliver these feelings to you?

Ah…

Honey, I love you, but my words won’t reach you.
Even though I’m this close to you, aah…
Honey, whisk me off to your world.
But that’ll forever be impossible. I know that it’s a dream, but I’ll keep wishing…

Honey, I love you. I say it aloud,
In the hopes that somehow, these feelings will be conveyed, aah…
Honey, whisk me off to your world someday.
I’ll forever be waiting for you. I beg of you, don’t wake up until then…

Honey.

Ghosts of Summer - Nashimoto Ui ft. Koharu Rikka (Natsu no Obake / 夏のお化け)

号砲　始まりの合図　蝉の声に掻き消され
熱に撫でられ壊れた　睡蓮少女
陽炎に揺れた夏草　踏切越しの彼女は
長い髪をかき上げて　微笑みました

微笑みました
夏のお化けに　今年も祟られ
心の隙間に入り込まれました
流した涙が乾いた頃には
今より上手に笑えていますか

予報外れの夕立　錆びた自転車軋ませ
雨に打たれて転んだ　青春ごっこ
泥にまみれた身体は　鉄の匂いにやられて
ゆるい風に吹かれたら　泣けてきました

泣けてきました
夏のお化けに　今年も化かされ
心の隙間に何を埋めようか
流した涙が乾いた頃には
今より器用に笑えていました

化かされました
夏のお化けに　今年も祟られ
心の隙間に入り込まれました
流した涙が乾いた頃には
今より上手に笑えていますか
笑えていました

The starting gun’s signal is drowned out by the cicada’s singing.
The water lily girl is caressed and broken down by the heat.
The summer grass sways in the heat haze, and the girl beyond the railroad crossing
combed her long hair back and smiled.

She smiled.
I’m haunted by ghosts of summer this year, too.
They slipped into the crevices of my heart.
By the time my shed tears dry up,
Will I be laughing even brighter than now?

The forecast missed the evening showers, and my rusty bicycle creaked.
Hit by the rain, I fell over, pretending to be young.
Smeared in mud, the smell of iron hit me.
And when the gentle wind blew, I began to weep.

I began to weep.
I’m enchanted by ghosts of summer this year, too.
What shall I seal the cracks in my heart with?
By the time my shed tears dry up,
I was smiling more skillfully than I do now.

I was enchanted.
I’m haunted by ghosts of summer this year too.
They slipped into the crevices of my heart.
By the time my shed tears dry up,
Will I be laughing even brighter than now?
I was laughing.

Raise the Velvet - Mayoi Ayase

Proofing: Kirin

ベルベットで隔たれた場所で 遠くに見た煌めくソワレ
生まれては消える星々の集い 招かれるはずもない舞台
それは過ぎた願いと納めて 孤独こそが最適解と
それでも罪なアンビバレンスが 境界へと誘う

静まる闇に高鳴る鼓動 ここが世界の中心だと
肌を刺す熱のうねりに身を捧げて

Raising the Velvet! 待ちわびた瞬間の
歓喜にさらされ 光へ踏み出そう
Velvet! 私の幕が上がる
どうかこの舞台で 今宵輝けますよう…

その視線に手を引かれながら まさか愛は鉛を溶かす
臆病が嵌めた重い足枷が 軽やかな羽で飾られて
眩し過ぎた夢の後先は 既に遠く知り得なくても
目の前にあるリアルな眼差しに 応えられるのなら

刹那を揺らす期待の吐息 これは全ての始まりだと
残酷な囁きに唆されてみたい

Gazing at My stage! 解き放つ自意識が
歓声に赦され 光へ踏み出す
My stage! 私の物語は
けれど歪なまま 今宵動き出した

喝采が一斉に支配する空間
愛で限界も超えていける
どうかその眼差しで支え続けて

Raising the Velvet! 待ちわびた瞬間の
歓喜にさらされ 光へ踏み出す
Velvet! 私の幕が上がり
今宵この舞台で…

Gazing at My stage! 解き放つ自意識が
歓声に赦され 光に重なる
My stage! 私の物語は
酷く歪なまま けれど怯みはしない

My stage…

My stage…
Raising the Velvet!

I distantly gazed upon the gleaming soiree at a place isolated by velvet.
Born and vanishing stars gather around a stage that I could never be invited to.
I suppress it alongside my long gone wishes — thinking solitude is the best solution.
Nevertheless, my sinful ambivalence tempts me towards that boundary line.

In the quietening down darkness, my heart starts to race, thinking that this is the center of the world.
I dedicate my body to the surges of heat prickling at my skin.

Raising the Velvet! Exposed by the delight of
this moment I’ve gotten tired of waiting for, let’s step forth into the light.
Velvet! My curtains rise.
Please, may I shine on the stage this evening…

As that gaze pulled me by the hand, I thought love could even melt lead.
These heavy shackles of cowardice are adorned with light feathers.
Even if I can’t know the consequences of those blindingly dazzling, already too far away dreams,
If I’m answered with such an earnest gaze before my very eyes…

A sigh of hope that shakes this moment to its core. This is the beginning of it all.
As if I was enticed by that cruel whisper.

Gazing at My stage! My released inhibitions are
forgiven by the cheers, and I step forth into the light.
My stage! As distorted as it may be,
this evening, my story came to life.

All at once, the applause dominates the room.
Love transcends all boundaries.
Please, continue supporting me with that gaze.

Raising the Velvet! Exposed by the delight of
this moment I’ve gotten tired of waiting for, I step forth into the light.
Velvet! My curtains rise,
and tonight, on this stage…

Gazing at My stage! My released inhibitions are forgiven
by the cheers, and overlaps with the lights.
My stage! And whilst my story is terribly distorted,
I will not falter!

My stage…
Raising the Velvet!

Delusion Grotesque Nonsense - Kairiki Bear ft. Kagamine Rin (Meimou Guro Nonsense / 迷妄グロナンセイス)

Content Warnings: Violence, abuse, suicide, self-deprecation
Note: With the exception of a few adjustments by myself, this song was transcribed by ear by Chiebukuro user 1151312478, since this song does not have its lyrics officially written down anywhere.

足りない 満たない もの足りない
汚い いけない 薄汚い
転がる暴論 非常識
虫食って 入り混じって 理性切って

何にももう無い 僕にはもう無い
痛いの飛んでけ 暗いの飛んでけ
こんがらがった想い 結ばれた想い
痛いの飛んでけ 暗いの飛んでけ

物憂いのマスクも 上手に切り取って
塞いだココロを 真っ赤に欺いて

狂った愛を 捧げて頂戴
狂って 待って 汚して頂戴
変わって 待って ズキズキ鳴き出して
ああああああ
濁った愛で 宥めて頂戴
曇って 滅入って 沈めて頂戴
植わって 待って 腕の傷抉って
みたりして…

知りたい 知らない 知りたくない
消えたい 消したい 消えたくない
群がる風評 非道徳
犯され 入り混じって感情切って

夢はもう無い 僕にはもう無い
痛いの蔓延る 暗いの蔓延る
忘れ去った想い 歪みきった想い
痛いの蔓延る 暗いの蔓延る

狂った愛を 奥まで頂戴
狂って 待って 怪我して頂戴
慌て 待って ズキズキ泣きついて
ああああああ
たぎった愛で 虐めて頂戴
滅入ってみて 救って頂戴
植わって 待って 感傷に浸って
笑ってみたりして…

狂った愛を 私に頂戴
狂った愛で 殺して頂戴
狂った愛に 今も縋りついて
苦しくて

痛いよ もう許して頂戴
痛いよ ねぇ助けて頂戴
痛いよ ほらズキズキ泣き叫んで
ああああああ
痛いよ もう死なせて頂戴
痛いよ ねぇ救って頂戴
痛いよ ほら胸の傷抉って

It’s not enough. I’m inferior. It’s not enough.
I’m dirty. I’m beyond help. I’m filthy.
These whirling fallacies completely lack rationality.
They eat away at my heart, mix together, and cut me off from my common sense.

There’s nothing anymore. I have nothing left anymore.
(Pain, pain, go away. Doom, gloom, go away.)
My entangled emotions, my bound emotions.
(Pain, pain, go away. Doom, gloom, go away.)

Skillfully tear away my mask of melancholy, too.
Utterly deceive my closed-off heart!

Please, give me your maddened love!
Please, go mad, wait for me, defile me!
Transform, wait for me, it wails with throbbing pain.
Ah, ah, ah-ah-ah-ah!
Please, cure me with your corrupted love!
Please, be disappointed, be depressed, and sink me under!
Put down roots, wait for me, gouge cuts into my arm!
Just maybe, you could try to do it…

I want to die. I don’t know. I don’t want to know.
I want to disappear. I want to erase it all. I don’t want to disappear.
Those swarming rumours, utterly immoral,
violate me, mix together, and cut me off from my emotions.

I have no dreams anymore. I have nothing left anymore.
(The pain is taking over. The darkness is taking over.)
The emotions I’ve completely forsaken. The emotions distorted beyond recognition.
(The pain is taking over. The darkness is taking over.)

Please, give me the maddened love hidden in the deepest recesses of your heart!
Please, go mad, wait for me, hurt me!
Be disoriented, wait for me, I beg of you, as I cling to you in throbbing pain.
Ah, ah, ah-ah-ah-ah!
Please, torment me with your overflowing love!
Please, try to be upset, then save me!
Put down roots, wait for me, bask in my sentimentality!
And maybe, I can try to smile…

Please, give me your maddened love.
Please, destroy me with your maddened love.
Even now, I cling to your maddened love,
and it’s killing me.

It hurts. Please, forgive me already.
It hurts. Hey, please, help me.
It hurts. See, I scream in my throbbing pain—
Ah, ah, ah-ah-ah-ah!
It hurts. Please, let me die already.
It hurts. Hey, please, save me.
It hurts. C’mon, gouge cuts into my heart.

I wish I didn’t exist…

Flautist Hana-chan - Shinsei Kamattechan (Fuefuki Hana-chan / 笛吹き花ちゃん)

Content Warnings: Death, bullying
Notes: Connected to Is Hana-chan a Squirrel?!

誰もいない教室じゃみんなは死んだと勝手に決めつけて
肌身離さず持ち続けているリコーダーを取りだす
吹けないくせにね
「笛吹きだよ。」と言う

そりゃもう
365 日イタイ子でね
へたくそでね やけくそでね
365 日笛を吹けば
ここにもいつか花が舞う
誰かが私を見ていると
キョロキョロしている不協和音
ふらふら舞う

うっせーバースト！

誰もいない教室でようやくみんなにお花を供えたのに
死ぬ価値すらない自分が取り残されただけだと言う
ひたすら泣くのさ
花粉症音楽

そりゃもう
365 日イタイ子でね
三つ編みまで意味アリでね
365 日笛を吹けば
ここにもいつか花が舞う
鼻水流れるルルが聞く
春の風に乗る不協和音
ふらふら舞う

うっせーバースト！

ひらりひらり風に舞うよ
イカレ散った花吹雪
窓の外へ お空めがけ
悪酔いしながら飛んでいくよ
春夏秋冬 週 4 バイト
高く高く飛んでゆけ
吹いた息は続く続く
幼い風を運ぶ

吹いた息は続く続く
空を走る花吹雪
孤独すぎて死んじゃいそうな
メロディ携えてどこまでも
春夏秋冬 週 4 バイト
高く高く飛んでゆけ
君の風邪は幼い風は証だから

吹き続けてね花ちゃん
その鼻垂れたメロディが
例え教室のやつらなんかに
馬鹿にされてしまおうが
吹き続けてやれ花ちゃん
きっと君だからまた泣いてしまう事も多分あるかもしれんが
笛吹きの名に恥じぬように

365 日アイタイタイタイナキミヨ

In an empty classroom, everyone decided to pass away at their own whim.
You pull out the recorder you always keep on you.
Despite the fact that you can’t play it,
“I’m a flautist,” you say.

That’s right,
All 365 days, you’re a suffering girl, aren’t you?
Unskilled, you are! Desperate, you are!
If you play your flute for all 365 days,
someday, here too, flowers will dance in the wind.
Whenever someone looks my way,
the dissonance grows, and I look around restlessly.
Unsteadily, you dance.

So annoying, bastò!1

In an empty classroom, even though you’ve only just now offered your flowers to everyone,2
You say that you, whose death even has no worth, were left behind.
Your heartfelt weeping,
is a song of pollinosis.

That’s right,
All 365 days, you’re a suffering girl, aren’t you?
Placing meaning in even your braids.
If you play your flute for all 365 days,
someday, here too, flowers will dance in the wind.
Your medicine for your runny nose is effective.3
The dissonance rides the spring breeze.
Unsteadily, you dance.

So annoying, bastò!

Fallen cherry blossoms, torn and scattered,
nimbly flutter in the wind.
Out the window, aiming for the sky,
whilst in a drunken frenzy, you take the leap.
The four seasons, your four day a week part time job.
Higher and higher, you soar.
Your breaths as you play the flute continue, continue,
and carry the fledgling wind.

Your breaths as you play the flute continue, continue,
and the fallen cherry blossoms flit through the sky.
Take it to the ends of the earth,
this melody so lonely that one could die.
The four seasons, your four day a week part time job.
Higher and higher, you soar.
Your cold, the fledgling wind, are proof, so please,

Keep playing the flute, Hana-chan!4
Even if those guys in class
make fun of you
for your runny-nosed melody,
Keep playing the flute, Hana-chan!
Surely, since it’s you, there will probably still be reason to cry, but…
Live up to the name of a flautist!

All 365 days, you’re s-s-s-suffering.

Translation notes

1 This lyric has never officially been written down, and it’s been something that has eluded me for long time, so I did a bit of digging to figure out what it meant. I took a look at the JP SSKC fandom and found that it’s pretty much unanimously agreed that Noko calls out (at least, something that sounds a lot like) “うっせーバースト！”. The meaning was unclear to me, but I found this tweet alleging that Noko said it was an Italian or French word that they had forgotten the meaning of. I looked into Italian words that sounded similar, and came across “bastò”, meaning “annoying weight, daily and annoying task: carrying the baby, taking on the most boring and heaviest tasks”. This makes the most sense considering the “うっせー” that precedes it. I’ve solved my 3 year mystery!
2 I originally thought this referred to the practice of offering flowers to a deity, but Violet pointed out that it’s most likely referring to leaving a vase of flowers on the desk of a deceased classmate, which makes sense given the first line of the song.
3 “ルル” here is likely referring to ルルアタック, a type of antihistamine in Japan. In the Miku version, “聞く” (to listen/to hear/to ask) was changed to “効く” (to work/be effective). Given the context of the sentence, I opted to translate this line as how it’s written in the Miku version, even though “聞く” is what’s used in the demo/Tsumanne. “Your medicine is working” makes a lot more sense than “your medicine is listening”.
4 “花” (flower, Hana’s name) and “鼻” (nose) are homophones in Japanese. Violet pointed out that if you consider only the pronunciation here, this could alternatively be considered as “Keep on blowing, Nose-chan!”. Fits well with the themes of hayfever and running noses in the song!

Enticed by Escapism - Nashimoto Ui ft. Hatsune Miku (Genjitsu Touhi ni Sasowarete / 現実逃避に誘われて)

Content Warnings: Depression

甘い匂いに誘われて　飛び込んだ先が花畑
あなたはいったい誰ですか　私の名前は現実逃避

実際問題僕たちは　幸せなんかにゃなれません
目の当たりになどできぬから　今宵も布団にもぐります
都合の良すぎる妄想を　繰り返して今何年目
それでも何とか生き延びりゃ　誰にも否定はできません

いくよ現実逃避　酸いも甘いも僕次第
いくよ現実逃避　いけるとこまで現実逃避

ふと気がつけば僕達は　なんとなくダメになりました
遠すぎる過去に夢見てた　未来はいったい何処ですか
誰のせいでもないくせに　誰かのせいにしたいんだ
そしたらあなたがやってきて　僕の罪を許してくれた

いくよ現実逃避　神も仏も構わずに
いくよ現実逃避　さぁ逃げるんだ現実逃避

甘い匂いに誘われて　飛び込んだ先が花畑
私はいったい誰ですか　あなたの名前は知りません

いくよ現実逃避　酸いも甘いもキミシダイ

いくよ現実逃避　何が何でも現実逃避

Tempted by a sweet scent, you leapt into a flowerbed.
Who on earth are you? My name is escapism.

Here’s a practical problem: People like us can never experience happiness.
Since I’ll never see it with my own two eyes, I crawl into my bed tonight, too.
It’s just too convenient. For how many years have the delusions been replaying in my head now?
But still, as long as you survive somehow, no one can deny.

Let’s go, escape from reality. Whether it’s bitter or sweet is up to me.
Let’s go, escape from reality. Let’s go as far as we can, with our escape from reality.

After a sudden realization, we somehow became worthless.
Where on earth is the future that I dreamed of in my far too distant bygone days?
Despite the fact that there’s no one to blame, I want to blame someone.
But then, you showed up and absolved me of my sins.

Let’s go, escape from reality. I don’t care whether you’re God or Buddha.
Let’s go, escape from reality. Come, let’s run away and escape from reality.

Tempted by a sweet scent, I leapt into a flowerbed.
Who on earth am I? I don’t know your name.

Let’s go, escape from reality. Whether it’s bitter or sweet is up to you.
Let’s go, escape from reality. Just put the future aside.
Let’s go, escape from reality. To a world where hopes and dreams exist.
Let’s go, escape from reality. At all costs, escape from reality.

Escape from reality.

Hey Buddy, check it out! Come this way where the clapping resounds,
Do an ollie over the “STOP” sign in the asphalt.
As you jumped over and hopped on, to the beat of one-two-three,
You were like a plane taking off.

The game players’ timing
is just like something from a movie scene.
The soft light from the centre of the sun somehow
looks like it’s on its way to wonderland with the clouds.

A…B… I tediously tap at the QTE, why?
Worrying day-by-day that someone would start
straining their ears to listen to me, I’d rather Kick it

It’s the heat’s fault that
I can’t wait ‘till my next Pay day, YA.
Playing through the blazingly shining sky,
that shrill rock music’s pretty good, hey?

I’ll only do the things I want.
That kinda day would be good, huh?

Leave that seriousness behind for a little,
And if you put your pen away, oh yeah.
The makeup exam comes after the suntan!

This sunshine beats down on the best day ever!
Just for now, wave bye-bye to your common sense!
Whether you’ve got energy or not, say cheers!
Making sure our good time’s not found out, the password is YY.

Let’s strive for diligence in this One Life.
Eh? Oh, right… I have no idea what you’re on about.
It’s lit, just now isn’t enough.
A summer’s story,
we’ll catch the wave and dance again.

Right now, everyone’s forgetting
what the right choices are and who’s important.
This time feels so good,
we’ll swim ‘till we’re orange.

Skin burnt raw and hand-combed back hair that won’t come loose,
under the hot shower.
The gentle breeze, and sunflowers
sent swaying.

Dive deep,
get Low and dance and swim on this afternoon.
“Right, I’m off now…”, buzz off with that!
Nah, it’s not that big of a deal.

Huh? Oh, well, I guess it’s fine.
CITTA, let’s sit down over there.
Let’s nap a little, that’s fine too, yeah?
The voices blend together.

Not yet — this September’s
still bursting with heat.
Not yet, this heat means
Summer hasn’t ended yet!

Leave that seriousness behind for a little,
And if you put your pen away, oh yeah.

This sunshine beats down on the best day ever!
Just for now, wave bye-bye to your common sense!
Whether you’ve got energy or not, say cheers!
Making sure our good time’s not found out, the password is YY.

Let’s strive for diligence in this One Life.
