Game of Life Lyrics Translation – Yousti
yousti sings about life as a game where ‘the map’s a bit messy, but it’s fine to take the long way round.’ The performer uses gaming terms like ‘continue’ and ‘cheat code’ to show how life’s challenges feel like impossible levels to beat. The track’s energy makes you want to keep pushing forward, no matter the obstacles.
What’s my life, what’s my lifeWhat’s my life, what’s my life
What’s my lifeWhat’s my life
Nankai mo ContinueI’ve gotta hit continue again and again
(I’m gettin’ dizzy, gettin’ dizzy)(I’m gettin’ dizzy, gettin’ dizzy)
Hiku ni hikenai Road Taoshikirenai BossThere’s no turning back on this road, and I can’t beat the boss,
Kuria dekinai Hinto choudaiI can’t clear this stage, so give me a hint.
(Gimme, gimme oh)(Gimme, gimme oh)
Sorezore ni Chigau Level & SkillEveryone’s got different levels and skills,
Kouryaku bon wa Ate ni wa naranaiand those strategy guides aren’t worth a thing.
Jibun dake ga Hard mode na no?Am I the only one stuck in hard mode?
Mata misutte All night longI’ve messed up once again all night long.
“Quit” Sono botan wa osenaiI just can’t press that “Quit” button,
Akiramezu ni Never get away, never get awayso I won’t give up, never get away, never get away
Todaytoday.
(Don’t wanna hide)(Don’t wanna hide)
Life! Life! Jinsei wa Like a gameLife! Life! This life is just like a game,
LA LA LALA LA LA
Life! Life! Owarasenai QuestLife! Life! A quest I’ll never let end,
Ma-ma-ma Map wa choi Messythe m-m-map’s a little bit messy.
Toomawari de iiTaking the long way is just fine,
Kankeinai wa Time limitbecause the time limit doesn’t even matter.
Not game overNot game over,
Game of Life, life, life, life, life, life, lifeGame of Life, life, life, life, life, life, life.
Game of Life, gotta findGame of Life, gotta find,
Keep on running till the endI’ll keep on running till the very end.
Game of Life, life, life, life, lifeGame of Life, life, life, life, life,
My lifemy life.
Mezametara Auto-loginAs soon as I wake up, it’s an auto-login,
Neboke manako demo Loadingand even with sleepy eyes, it’s still loading.
Wanna skip nanteI think about wanting to skip,
Urawaza no Key wa ochitenaibut the ‘cheat code’ key isn’t lying around anywhere.
Kateru ki shinai shoboi DeckI don’t feel like I can win with this lousy deck,
Kokoro no kakin wa sakerarenai Nowadaysand nowadays, you can’t avoid ‘microtransactions’ for your heart.
Kearesu misu sura kowai genjitsuIn this reality where even a careless mistake is scary,
“Furidashi ni wa modorenai” ga Kyoutsuu Rule“you can’t go back to the start” is the universal rule.
Dakedo osorezu ChallengeBut I’ll take the challenge without fear,
Yowaki ja Bad endbecause being weak-willed leads to a bad end.
Aishite ikou yo My fateLet’s go ahead and love my fate,
“Quit” Sono botan wa osenaisince I just can’t press that “Quit” button.
Akiramezu ni Never get away, never get awayI won’t give up, never get away, never get away
