Scuffed Up Age

Romaji

Lost in thoughts of frosted frame of mind
Honest to god, it’s just not our time
Promises flawed by cosmic design
Kore kurai doutte kotonai
Demo namida no ato wa kesenai
Coming of age, the stage doesn’t light up
Just right away, they told us it might’ve
Yume wa mou akiramemasu
This cynical mind says “why’d you try?”
“Why not give up and play the bad guy?”
Wakatteru sa
Unmei ga nami tate nagara anata nomou to suru no nara
Kuzureochisou na karada dakishimeru kara
We choose to know
The struggles of this scuffed up age we’re living in
Kusatta kuzu no hibi dakedo
Kono yoake could seem a lot like “not your day”
Sore demo anata wo sutete shimawanaide
Can’t find a reason to stay
Some busted world led astray
Once trusted, left to decay
We choose to go on anyway.
Lost in thoughts of always changing pace
Allies and friends hiding more than one face
Not really surprising, why are you compromising?
The sun is rising A new horizon
With friendships lacking lies and
The knives in your back, so what are you prioritizing?
You aren’t sick of crying? See, I don’t buy it.
But here we are, hanging on, fighting strong despite it.
“hakanai” ja arawashi kirenai
Mou me wo tojite shimaitai kurai no sekai
This cynical mind says “why’d you try?”
“Why not give up and play the bad guy?”
Wakaranain da
Hokori mamire no machi de anata no tameiki no kage
Watashi no kasuka na hi de terashitai dake
We choose to know
The struggles of this scuffed up age we’re giving in
Dosha ni yogorete Be real, it hurts to grow
Believing in a world of hate is overrated
Maa, demo anata wa utsukushii no dakara
Must be something surreal
An endless dream we can’t heal
This rusted world wound up real
Still wanna love the way it feels.
Late nights, the city feels dead, sure, but like…
The lights and sights and sounds are treasures.
Konna sekai ni aragatte aruku chikara nante
Watashi ni wa nai kedo
Face up, this world can’t kill that inner spark
Why don’t we turn this scuffed up page we’re writing in
Konna sekai ja Be real, I think we know
Kono yoake is rarely fair, decide your fate
It’s your life anata wo sutete shimawanaide
Tomorrow’s a brand new day
Like all those optimists say
But the truth is rather ruthless, it might be rain
The question is, will you bear that pain?
What’s your reason to stay?
This shining world led astray
Won’t leave it all to decay
I choose to love it anyway.
We choose to know
The struggles of this scuffed up age we live in
So, don’t give in.

これくらいどうってことない
でも涙の跡は消せない
Coming of age, the stage doesn’t light up
Just right away, they told us it might’ve
夢はもう諦めます

Why not give up and play the bad guy?
分かってるさ
運命が波立てながら　貴方飲もうとするのなら
崩れ落ちそうな身体　抱きしめるから
We choose to know
The struggles of this scuffed up age we’re living in
腐ったクズの日々だけど
この夜明け could seem a lot like “not your day”
それでも貴方を捨ててしまわないで
Can’t find a reason to stay
Some busted world led astray
Once trusted, left to decay
We choose to go on anyway.
Lost in thoughts of always changing pace
Allies and friends hiding more than one face

“儚い”じゃ表し切れない
もう目を閉じてしまいたいくらいの世界
This cynical mind says “why’d you try?”
“Why not give up and play the bad guy?”
分からないんだ
埃塗れの街で　貴方のため息の影
私の微かな火で　照らしたいだけ
We choose to know
The struggles of this scuffed up age we’re giving in
土砂に汚れて　Be real, it hurts to grow
Believing in a world of hate is overrated
まあ、でも　貴方は美しいのだから
Must be something surreal
An endless dream we can’t heal
This rusted world wound up real
Still wanna love the way it feels.
Late nights, the city feels dead, sure, but like…
The lights and sights and sounds are treasures.
こんな世界に抗って歩く力なんて
私にはないけど
Face up, this world can’t kill that inner spark
Why don’t we turn this scuffed up page we’re writing in
こんな世界じゃ　Be real, I think we know
この夜明け is rarely fair, decide your fate
It’s your life　貴方を捨ててしまわないで
Tomorrow’s a brand new day

So, don’t give in.
