Don’t Judge Me Meaning & Lyrics (Doona)
Doona describes the cracked stones on the asphalt as tired travelers. RYO notes the ashen sky looming above, a reminder that time cannot turn back. SOTA translates a key line: I won’t lose my way on this unique path.
You told me in the past that i could be no 1You told me back then that I could be number one
Maboroshi no crown ni wa todokazuI couldn’t reach that phantom crown,
Teimei shitatte nami o norikonasubut even at my lowest, I’m riding the waves,
Rock star no you na itsumo kagayaitetaalways shining bright like a rock star—
Hazu dattaor so I was supposed to be.
Imasara asufaruto no stone mo korogari akite kuru koroBy now, even the stones on the asphalt are tired of rolling,
Kokora no feelings wa saikasouand these feelings around here have hit rock bottom.
Nani o motte shite umareta noWhat exactly was I born to achieve?
Mezamashi young boyWake up, young boy.
Heikinten bakka tatakidashten na yo loserDon’t just keep hitting the average mark, you loser—
Modoru ni wa sudeni osoi hai no sora o look uplook up at the ashen sky, ’cause it’s already too late to turn back.
Tashika ni uketotta yo maimenI definitely received your message, my man,
Atama no words wa ore no ikigai dethe words in my head are my reason for living.
Futatsu to nai ren fumihazusenI won’t lose my way on this one-of-a-kind path,
Feel so look like stand by mefeeling like I’m standing strong.
Ritaiya iya iya no f#ckin wayNo way I’m ever retiring, no fing way,
Motometa riot hikizuru taiondragging this heat from the riot I chased.
Itanteki igaisei don’t judge meMy unorthodox nature’s a surprise, so don’t judge me,
Hikikomu ego kikinagasu crowdpulling in my ego while I tune out the crowd.
Tada shin kara shin made ajiwawanai toIf I don’t taste it from the core to the marrow,
Tadashii ka dou ka wakaranaiI won’t know if it’s right or not.
A to z made shitte mitashita nounaiKnowing it from A to Z, I’ve filled my mind,
Egaite kowashite ikusketching it out and then tearing it down.
Honnou mo don’t judge meDon’t judge my instincts either.
Patto saite satto chitte nante mouBlooming suddenly and then quickly scattering—
Mottainee tte mottaibutte nanben moI’ve said ‘what a waste’ and acted high and mighty so many times.
Shabutte kotoba de asobu ma ni kanjichau doushiMy comrades feel it while we’re playing with words,
Hotline e goso head to the hotline.
Why can’t you see the charmWhy can’t you see the charm?
I wanna make you lose your mindI want to make you lose your mind.
Katachi nara nokosu sakusen okosu kakumeiMy strategy is to leave a mark and start a revolution,
Nioi ni tsurarete sasowareru rakuenlured by the scent into a paradise.
Kousui wa Margiela ya Vuitton ja neeMy scent isn’t Margiela or Vuitton,
Somosomo no miryoku to shisou ga danchigai de’cause my innate charm and philosophy are in a different league.
What hanatsu smells wa wakasa ni michiteThe smell I release is full of youth,
Kurt no you ni kakinarasu migitemy right hand’s strumming just like Kurt ‘Cobain’.
Ritaiya kara high agatte mata low no kurikaeshiRising high from retirement then back to the lows, over and over,
F#ck type sh#t mata wadachi ni natte kanaden nofing types of s becoming ruts again as I play on.
Pain pain pain anma imi nai kiku mimi tate utsumuku no yametoki na yo broPain, pain, pain, it’s pretty meaningless, so stop looking down and start listening, bro.
Aa da kou da itteru yatsura ni wa hana kara kikaseru ki nee yoI’ve never had any intention of letting those talkers hear me anyway.
Ritaiya iya iya no f#ckin wayNo way I’m ever retiring, no fing way,
Motometa riot hikizuru taiondragging this heat from the riot I chased.
Itanteki igaisei don’t judge meMy unorthodox nature’s a surprise, so don’t judge me,
Hikikomu ego kikinagasu crowdpulling in my ego while I tune out the crowd.
