Kaikaikitan Lyrics English Translation by My First Story
Eve writes about the paradox of humanity, describing people as ‘hollow humans full of empty noise.’ The lyrics explore themes of isolation and the relentless pursuit of purpose in an unforgiving world. A standout line, ‘Even if you’re struggling and kicking against this ‘paradise’ reality, don’t you dare throw your life away,’ shows the poet’s call to resilience.
Ushou mushou hito no nariAll sorts of people are taking on human forms,
Kisei shinzou jingai mono no kemono mitai dawith parasitic hearts, they’re just like non-human beasts.
Kyoshin tankai inochi yadoshiThey harbor life with an open mind,
Ato wa pappa rappa na nakami naki ningenbut the rest are just hollow humans full of empty noise.
Yoseru kitai fupingtou na jinseiExpectations gather in this unfair life.
Sainou mo nai daishi hijijou gaThere’s no talent here, just an abnormal sense of ambition.
Onshin byoudou ni mukoseiWe’re all equally devoid of personality.
Tadoru kioku boku niAs I trace my memories,
Ibasho nado nai karaI realize there’s no place for me to belong.
Yume no hazama de naite inaideDon’t spend your time crying in the space between dreams.
Donna kao sureba ii ka wakatteruI know exactly what kind of face I should make,
Dakedo mada kotaete kure yobut please, just give me an answer for now.
Yami wo haraute yami wo harauteDispel the darkness, dispel the darkness.
Yoru no tobari ga oritara aizu daWhen the curtain of night falls, it’s the signal.
Saitai shite meguru kanjou senEmotions cycle and intersect in this loop,
Gigen nado wa hakisutete ike toso spit out those lies and keep moving forward.
Mada tomemeide mada tomemeideKeep it clear for now, keep it clear.
Dare yori mo satoku aru machi ni umareshi kono seitai woThis living form was born in a city sharper than any other.
Ima wa tada noroi norowareta boku no mirai wo souzou shiteRight now, I’m just imagining my cursed and cursing future.
Hashitte koronde kienai itami idaite waI’ll run and I’ll fall, embracing the pain that won’t fade,
Sekai ga matteru kono isshun wobecause the world is waiting for this exact moment.
Jyojouteki kanjou ga yurayura iku baguMy lyrical emotions are flickering like a glitch.
Juujun ni shitagatta kessen no batsuThis is the penalty for a decisive battle I followed obediently.
Shishu sentaku shikanai ai ni mujoukiThere’s a heartless flag on this love where I’m forced to choose,
Koe mo dasenai mamaand I still can’t even make a sound.
Kugutsu na chikai no naki hyakki yakouIt’s a night parade of a hundred demons with no puppet oaths.
Juzu tsunagi na kono hate made moWe’re linked together all the way to the end.
Gokuraku jojo genjitsu kette mo gaiteEven if you’re struggling and kicking against this ‘paradise’ reality,
Inochi wo nagedasanaidedon’t you dare throw your life away.
Uchi no morosa ni hitatteDrowning in my own internal frailty,
Donnakao sureba ii ka wakannai yoI don’t know what kind of face I’m supposed to make.
Ima wa tada kotaete kure yoFor now, just give me an answer.
Go-jyo wo toite go-jyo wo toiteUntie the bond, untie the bond.
Fukashika na koe wo tsumugu ideaIt’s a concept spinning an invisible voice.
Saissai shite meguru kanjou senAs the loop of emotions cycles again,
Sono saki ni ima tachiagaru te woreach out your hand and stand up for what’s ahead.
Tada oikakete tada oikaketeJust keep chasing, just keep chasing.
Dare yori mo tsuyoku aritai to negau kimi no unmei suraEven your destiny of wishing to be stronger than anyone else
Ima wa tada honokurai yoru no soko niis currently sinking deep, deep
Fukaku fukaku ochikondeinto the bottom of this dim night.
Fukakkou ni mieta kaiDid I look unsightly to you?
Kore ga ima no boku nandaThis is who I am right now.
Nanizone ni mo narenai dake no shikabane da hoe yoI’m just a corpse that couldn’t become anything, so go ahead and howl!
Me no mae no subete kara nigeru koto sae yametaI’ve even stopped running away from everything in front of me.
Imeeji wo kurikaeshiI keep repeating the image in my head
Souzou mo saki wo ike toto go beyond the limits of my imagination.
Yami wo haraute yami wo harauteDispel the darkness, dispel the darkness.
Yoru no tobari ga oritara aizu daWhen the curtain of night falls, it’s the signal.
