Romaji
Title: Yoake
Riyuu no nai kanshimi wa butsukeru basho ga nai
Riyuu no nai ashita wa riyuu no nai mama otozuneru
Dokoka ni ikitai demo doko he mo ikezu ni
tsuki to mezametara taiyou to nemuru seikatsu
Ookina puraido de chiisana koto bakari
Imi no nai kotoba wa imi no nai mama ni shitai dake
Mou yame ni shiyou demo soresae dekizu ni
tsuki to mezametara taiyou to neru seikatsu
Kibou ga zetsubou ni kawaru you ni zetsubou wa kibou ni nareru sa
sorosoro sekai ga owaruyou na souzou de kon’ya mo nemureru kara
Higashi no sora kimi ga norotta imaimashii hikari ga sasu
Nishi no no sora dareka ga tsubuyaku “Ashita wa haremasu you ni”
Kakinugutta imeeji ha katachi mo iro mo nai
Risou wo narabetara narabeta bun dake wakaru kyori
Oshiire no oku made shimaikonda akogare
tsuki to mezametara taiyou to neru seikatsu
Kibou ga zetsubou ni kawaru you ni zetsubou wa kibou ni nareru sa
sorosoro sekai ga owaruyou na souzou de kon’ya mo nemureru kara
Shoutengai wo nukete shounen ha hashiru
doko made yo ikeyo maiyoi no nai kutsu oto
Bokutachi no ashita wa hitotsuzuki no kibou
doko made ikeru sou omotteita ano hi
Riyuu no nai kanshimi wa butsukeru basho ga nai
Riyuu no nai ashita wa riyuu no nai mama otozuneru
Mada boku wa utatteiru mada sekai ha ugoiteiru
imi mo naku riyuu mo naku
Kaketa kokoro hitotsu motteiku
Furiotosarenai you ni
Aita mado no soto irodzuku machi
Higashi no sora kimi ga norotta imaimashii hikari ga sasu
Nishi no no sora dareka ga tsubuyaku “Ashita wa haremasu you ni”
Kidzukeba dareka ga hayameta tokei tadashisa mo machigai mo utagatteiru
koritsu to kyoukan wo tenbin ni kakete kyou mo jibun wo motteiru
Kantan na koto sa ikinuku no koto kareta sumyaku horiateru kurai
Nandomo nandomo kurikaeseba itsumo to chigatta
Asa ga kuru asa ga kuru

Title: Daybreak
There is no place where I can let go of my senseless sadness
and a senseless tomorrow will eventually visit without any reason.
I would like to go somewhere, but I still don’t go anywhere
and live my daily routine of waking up with the moon and fall asleep with the sun.
With my big pride I still do little things
and I would like to leave these senseless words without any sense.
I would like to just end all of this, but I still can’t do such a thing
and live my daily routine of waking up with the moon and fall asleep with the sun.
Just like hope turns into hopelessness, hopelessness will eventually turn into hope
because even with the thought that this world is about to end, I can sleep this night too.
In the eastern sky, the light that you hate so much shines
In the western sky, someone whispers “It looks like tomorrow will be sunny”
The image that I scribbled down, has no shape nor colour
and if I count my ideals, there’s only a path of those I understood*.
With my desires pressed deep down my closet,
I live my daily routine of waking up with the moon and fall asleep with the sun.
Just like hope turns into hopelessness, hopelessness will eventually turn into hope
because even with the thought that this world is about to end, I can sleep this night too.
I go out from the commercial district and some boys are running
“Let’s go somewhere” (they say) with the sound of their shoes that won’t lose their way.
Our tomorrows are the hope of a follow up,
that day I thought I could go anywhere.
There is no place where I can let go of my senseless sadness
and a senseless tomorrow will eventually visit without any reason.
But I’m still here singing, the world is still turning,
even without sense, even without reason…
We walk with one and only broken heart,
as if we couldn’t get rid of it.
Outside the open window, the city shines.
In the eastern sky, the light that you hate so much shines
In the western sky, someone whispers “It looks like tomorrow will be sunny”
If you pay attention, someone has anticipated his clock, I still don’t know if by mistake or on purpose.
I put on the scale isolation and participation, and even today I won’t lose my own self.
Comparing it to finding a water source, being alive is such an easy task,
and it doesn’t matter matter how many times it repeats itself, every time is different.
Morning will come, morning comes…
Notes and others
I’m still not 100% sure about the meaning of the sentence marked with the “*“, if you have suggestions, let me know.
This song at first may seem one of the many average j-rock songs, but it really melted me down with all of my feels…
I really don’t feel like talking about details, just fucking enjoy it (you better do)
