My First Story
BREAK IT DOWN Lyrics Translation – My First Story
nana hatori, the author, describes waves that swallow motion, painting a sea that devours hope. She notes the line ‘The beast inside is waking’, which translates to the inner fire stirs. The writer wonders about a flower that blooms in darkness, asking its hidden worth.
Let’s goLet’s go
What lies beyond this oceanWhat lies beyond this ocean
Its silence frightens meIts silence frightens me
As the waves swallow all motionAs the waves swallow all motion
I think we’ll go back homeI think we’ll go back home
Buaisou sugiru sekai ni aibuA caress in a world that’s far too cold
But i know that stars can’t always shine at nightBut I know that stars can’t always shine at night
Kirei ni azamuiteDeceived by such beautiful lies
I feel myself go downI feel myself go down
When i saw the light i wanted to be the only oneWhen I saw the light, I wanted to be the only one
Got my heart set you will never break it down yeahI’ve got my heart set, you’ll never break it down, yeah
Don’t belong tonight and there’s nowhere for me to runI don’t belong tonight, and there’s nowhere for me to run
There’s so many reasons why i stand hereThere are so many reasons why I stand here
Chi mo namida mo nai nasake yousha mo nai you na sekaiA world with no blood or tears, and absolutely no mercy
The beast inside is waking awaking awakingThe beast inside is waking, awaking, awaking
Yeah i’m waitingYeah, I’m waiting
Heibon ni ikiru yori utsukushiku chiritai naI’d rather scatter beautifully than live a mediocre life
Gacchi shita shinsou shinri go diving deeper downMy subconscious and truth align as I’m diving deeper down
Mukan no teiou ja ikizumaruI’m suffocating as a king without a crown
Yuukan na yuushuu no bi kazaritaiI want to grace my end with brave and final beauty
Tooku narihibiiteEchoing far into the distance
No matter what the costNo matter what the cost
Kanai sou mo nai yume datte oitaku nattaI’ve started chasing dreams that don’t seem like they’ll come true
Tadashi sou na ikikata nante throw backThrow back those lifestyles that only seem ‘correct’
Utsukushiku nai hana no kachi o shiritakuteI want to know the value of a flower that isn’t beautiful
Just like flowers blooming in the darknessJust like flowers blooming in the darkness
Suteta mon janai man ni hitotsu ga aru you na sekaiIt’s not all bad in a world where there’s a one-in-a-million chance
The beast inside is waking awaking awakingThe beast inside is waking, awaking, awaking
Yeah i’m waitingYeah, I’m waiting
Calling out calling outCalling out, calling out
I’ll spill the beansI’ll spill the beans
When in doubt when in doubtWhen in doubt, when in doubt
