IRIS OUT Lyrics English Translation by Kenshi Yonezu
Yonezu tells of a love so strong it feels like a physical pain. He says, ‘I love you bursts from my carotid artery,’ showing how deep this feeling runs. The lyrics mention a world where only one person matters.
Dame Dame Dame Mimi Sono Naka Kara ‘Yamero Baka’ To Wameku MoraritiNo, no, no. My morality screams “Stop, you idiot!” from inside my ears.
Darin Beibi Darin Hanpa Naku Rabu Toki Rameki Ukiashidatsu FirosofiDarling, baby, darling. This insane love is a sparkling, restless philosophy.
Shinu Hodo Kawaii UwamezukaiThat upturned look of yours is cute enough to kill me.
Nani Ga Shi Hou Ni Fureru KuraiIt’s enough to almost break the law.
Baramaku Ranshin Kizukeba MangetsuI’m scattering my madness, and before I know it, the moon’s full.
Kono Yo Ni Umareta Kimi Ga WaruiIt’s your fault for being born into this world.
Yatara To Shindoi KoiwazuraiThis lovesickness is just incredibly exhausting.
Barabara N Naru Atama To Kono KaradaMy head and my body are falling apart.
Keidoumyaku Kara Airabuyu Ga Fukidashite“I love you” is bursting out from my carotid artery,
Airisu AutoThe iris fades out.
Ittai Dou Shiyou Kono Omoi OWhat on earth should I do with these feelings,
Dou Shiyou Abara No Oku OAnd what should I do with the space behind my ribs?
Zarame Ga Tokete Gero Ni Nari SouThe sugar is melting, and I feel like I’m going to v@mit,
Hitomi Bachi Hiraite Oborejini Ni SouMy eyes are wide open, and I feel like I’m about to drown.
Ima Kono Yo De Kimi Dake Dai SeikaiRight now, you’re the only true answer in this world.
Bikkuri Kaettemo Kachi You Na Nai Kimi Dake Ruru Wa TekiyougaiEven if I’m knocked off my feet, there’s no way to win; the rules don’t apply to you.
Yotsu To Mo Osero Wa Kuro Shika Nai Katsuage HoudaiAll four corners of the ‘Othello’ board game are black, so extort me all you want.
Kimi Ga Egao De Hanatta AbadakedaburaYou fired off a ‘killing curse’ with a smile.
Deko Ni Sutiguma Moushiwakenee NaThere’s a ‘stigma’ mark on my forehead; I’m really sorry.
Ya O Sashite Tsuite Koko JakutenPoint the arrow and strike; here’s my weak spot.
Shinu Hodo Kawaii UwamezukaiThat upturned look of yours is cute enough to kill me.
Nani Ga Shi Hou Ni Fureru KuraiIt’s enough to almost break the law.
Baramaku Ranshin Kizukeba MangetsuI’m scattering my madness, and before I know it, the moon’s full.
Kono Yo Ni Umareta Kimi Ga WaruiIt’s your fault for being born into this world.
Pachimon Demo Ii Nan Demo IiI don’t care if it’s a fake or anything else.
Ima Kimi To Nazuketeru Subete HoshiiI want everything that I’ve named “you” right now.
Keidoumyaku Kara Airabuyu Ga Fukidashite“I love you” is bursting out from my carotid artery,
Airisu AutoThe iris fades out.
Ittai Dou Shiyou Kono Omoi OWhat on earth should I do with these feelings,
Dou Shiyou Abara No Oku OAnd what should I do with the space behind my ribs?
Zarame Ga Tokete Gero Ni Nari SouThe sugar is melting, and I feel like I’m going to v@mit,
Hitomi Bachi Hiraite Oborejini Ni SouMy eyes are wide open, and I feel like I’m about to drown.
Ima Kono Yo De Kimi Dake Dai SeikaiRight now, you’re the only true answer in this world.
