FLOOR IS MINE
Skaai • From “BEANIE”
FLOOR IS MINE Lyrics Translation (from “BEANIE”)
The lyrics writer describes a night in Akasaka, where the narrator claims the dance floor as their own. A standout line, ‘There’s no such thing as an endless night, right?’ captures the fleeting yet powerful moment of freedom. The words blend cigarette smoke, wine, and a rainy season’s end to create a vivid scene.
Ooh why you standing aloneOoh, why’re you standing alone
Under the radar won’t youStaying under the radar, won’t you?
Oops katamaru kodouOops, my heartbeat’s freezing up
I said the floor is mineI said the floor is mine
Hatenai yoru wa nai darouThere’s no such thing as an endless night, right?
Oto to dance dance floor janaiDancing with the sound, it’s more than a dance floor
I said the floor is mineI said the floor is mine
Yeah Akasaka atari de moninguYeah, it’s morning around ‘Akasaka’
Yeah mada sonna shiranai noniYeah, even though I don’t really know you yet
Yeah tagai ni shittakaburiYeah, we’re both just playing along
Mahou no jikan wa genkan madeThe magical hours last until the doorstep
Tabako no kemuri no beru matouDraped in a veil of cigarette smoke,
Angie mo unazuku hodo no mashouwith a charm that’d make even ‘Angie’ nod.
She said hi ga ochitara aimashouShe said, “Let’s meet when the sun sets.”
Soune kono tsuyu ga akeru koroYeah, around the time this rainy season ends.
