CHAOS Lyrics Translation – Novel Core
The lyrics writer questions the importance of labels, saying, ‘Results and the process are everything.’ Novel Core uses metaphors like ‘biting back at the cage’ to describe breaking free from limitations. The songwriter emphasizes personal growth over external validation.
Rappa ka shinga ka kantan da katagaki nanka imi neeRapper or singer? It’s simple, labels like that don’t mean a thing.
Kekka to katei ga subete zako ga blah blah nukasedo kankei neeResults and the process are everything, it doesn’t matter if the ‘weaklings’ talk trash.
Kono mi shibaru ori ni kamitsukiBiting back at the cage that binds this body,
Ima ja dono shin demo origami tsuki no kono sainounow this talent is ‘certified’ in every single scene.
Sakushi sakkyoku dancin ni singin like chanmina aite ni narane sankaSongwriting, composing, dancing, and singing like Chanmina, the competition isn’t in my league.
Rappu shika dekine kuse ni ore ni rappu de boro make shite iru omae ga mata iu n daroYou can’t do anything but rap, yet you’re losing miserably to me in a rap battle, so you’ll probably say it again,
Aitsu wa rappa jane aidoru daze tte“That guy isn’t a rapper, he’s just an idol.”
Jijo neta de warai toru no wa jidai okure rizumu editto de dopinguTrying to get laughs with self-deprecating jokes is outdated, and you’re doping with rhythm edits.
Otomodachi de kasa mashi suru douinsu omae ni totcha ore no toiki sura boostingPadding your numbers with friends, even my breath is boosting you.
Dare mo ubaenai kono rekishi mite kita keshiki shiru sono reshipiNobody can steal this history or the view I’ve seen, I know the recipe,
Seikou no kenri wa kono te no naka hoshigaru no wa who who whothe right to success is in my hands, so who’s the one who wants it? Who, who, who?
Chaos mata sugu run it up for the gods planChaos, run it up again soon for the god’s plan.
Guess whos back doujou yaburi back on the scene broGuess who’s back, crashing the dojo, back on the scene bro.
Chaos mata sugu run it up for the gods planChaos, run it up once more for the god’s plan.
Guess whos back doujou yaburi back on the scene broGuess who’s back, storming the dojo, back on the scene bro.
Ano koro no yume wa shinkoukei ou sama yori naru senseiThe dreams of those days are still in progress, becoming a master rather than a king.
Satsutaba misebirakashite michikusa ni tokashitecha shoushou mo neeFlaunting wads of cash and wasting it on distractions is just pathetic.
Janru ga doukou uruse yaritai you ni yaru dakeShut up about genres, I’m just gonna do it exactly the way I want.
Anda kara ooba made matomete rokku dekinakya zako douzenIf you can’t rock everything from the underground to the mainstream, you’re basically a ‘nobody’.
Get out of my way get out of my wayGet out of my way, get out of my way,
Shini isoide iru baka ja wakaranai nea fool who’s rushing to their death wouldn’t understand.
Kore wa ore no process hoka ja kawarenai zeThis is my process, no one else can replace it,
Ano trauma suramo drama daro babyeven that trauma is just part of the drama, baby.
Dare mo ubaenai kono rekishi mite kita keshiki shiru sono reshipiNobody can steal this history or the view I’ve seen, I know the recipe,
Seikou no kenri wa kono te no naka hoshigaru no wa who who whothe right to success is in my hands, so who’s the one who wants it? Who, who, who?
