Blinding Lyrics English Translation by Good Grief
YASU describes a struggle with daily pain and emotional numbness in the lyrics. One line stands out: ‘Break my chains, set me free, I’m putting it all on the line right now.’ The songwriter uses vivid phrases like ‘auction you off like a cheap bargain’ to show the frustration of being undervalued.
Losing grip and sightLosing my grip and my vision
Tonight’s the night to forget everythingTonight’s the night I’ll leave it all behind
Burn the flames igniteLet the fire burn and ignite
I’m just about to burstI’m right on the verge of exploding
So come and chew me up to taste what I’ve gotSo come and tear into me to see what I’m made of
Pick me up when I fallHelp me back up when I stumble
Don’t spit me out when I break downDon’t just discard me when I fall apart
Unwind now lose that tieCut loose and ditch that collar now
EverydayEvery single day
Every day’s blindingEach day is just too much to take
Everyday everydayDay after day, always the same
Every pain that we takeEvery bit of pain we’re forced to swallow
Nan no tame gaman shiteru noWhat’s the point of all this restraint
EverydayEvery single day
Every day’s blindingEach day is just too much to take
Everyday everydayDay after day, always the same
Set me free set me freeBreak my chains, set me free
Kono shunkan ni bet shiteI’m putting it all on the line right now
We goAnd here we go
I gotI’ve seized it
What I wantExactly what I want
Pry this out of my dead handsYou’ll have to pry this from my cold, dead hands
GotI’ve taken
What I wantWhat I’ve always wanted
Pry this out of my dead handsYou’ll have to pry this from my cold, dead hands
They mark you downThey slap a price tag on you
And sell you like bargainsAnd auction you off like a cheap bargain
Hype you up for the costInflating your worth just to take it all
Ore no choisu ubai tonnaDon’t you dare steal my right to choose
Don’t tell me to give inDon’t even think about telling me to quit
Apologies I never meantI’m giving apologies I never actually meant
EverydayEvery single day
Every day’s blindingEach day is just too much to take
Everyday everydayDay after day, always the same
Every pain that we takeEvery bit of pain we’re forced to swallow
Nan no tame ni gaman shiteru noWhat’s the point of all this restraint
EverydayEvery single day
Everyday’s blindingEach day is just too much to take
Everyday everydayDay after day, always the same
Set me free set me freeBreak my chains, set me free
Kono shunkan ni bet shiteI’m putting it all on the line right now
We goAnd here we go
Kanjou no nai mainichi woLiving through these hollow, emotionless days,
KurikaeshiteRepeating the cycle over and over again.
Haato no naka no ansaa woThe answer buried deep inside my heart,
MiushinatteruI’ve completely lost sight of it all.
Kyakkanteki na gainen jaRigid, objective concepts like these
TokiakasenaiWon’t ever help me solve this mystery.
Kantan na kotoba deWith just a few simple words,
Wakariaeru bokuraWe can finally understand each other.
EverydayEvery single day
Every day’s blindingEach day is just too much to take
Everyday everydayDay after day, always the same
Every pain that we takeEvery bit of pain we’re forced to swallow
Nan no tame ni gaman shiteru noWhat’s the point of all this restraint
EverydayEvery single day
Everyday’s blindingEach day is just too much to take
Everyday everydayDay after day, always the same
Set me free set me freeBreak my chains, set me free
Kono shunkan ni bet shiteI’m putting it all on the line right now
We goAnd here we go
