Kodoku ni Toku Lyrics Translation – Daishi Minamide | Maverick Mom
The poet tells the story of someone drifting in a vague dream, running from a twisted world. Maverick Mom sings about a blood-stained heart and cursing a fake self. One line translates to, ‘I want to sing, I want to dance,’ showing a deep yearning for answers.
Hitori aimai na yume ni tadayouI drift alone in a vague dream,
Yuganda sekai kara nigeru you nias if running away from a twisted world.
Ikizumatta ayumi ni chikattaI made a vow to my stalled footsteps,
Kodoku ni maketa ano jibun o norou you nias if cursing the past self who lost to loneliness.
Fuyaketa karada mada sukoshiMy weakened body still holds,
Atatakasa o tamottejust a little bit of warmth.
Kanawanakatta mirai o souzou shiteImagining a future that never came true,
Karamariatta risou to genjitsuwhere ideals and reality are tangled together.
Kaze ga fuku no o matte itatteEven if I just wait for the wind to blow,
Rou ga ochiru no o tada miru dakeI’ll only watch the candle wax drip down.
Tada mite itadadakeI was just staring blankly,
Ashita nilooking toward tomorrow.
Utatte itai odotte itaiI want to sing, I want to dance,
Amaneku kai ni koikogaredeeply yearning for a universal answer.
Aa doushiyou mo nai koto bakari de madaAh, there are still so many things I can’t control,
Sou sou kakimidashiten daand yes, they’re tearing my mind apart.
Nemurenai ikudo no yoru oCountless sleepless nights,
Koeta saki ni hikari ga aruttemust lead to a light waiting at the end,
Ashita no jibun ni boku ga tokeru you niso I can melt into the person I’ll be tomorrow.
Kudamaita uzattai ossan no sekkyouThe annoying older man’s drunken lectures,
Migi kara hidari ni nagashitejust go in one ear and out the other.
Potsun to ukabu hinto ga kou o soushiteA single floating hint somehow saves the day,
Nobetsumakunashi ni nagareru senritsubut the melody flows on without end.
Yoshiashi no handan mo tsukanaiI can’t even tell right from wrong anymore.
Anta ni wakaru hazu nai nante“There’s no way you could ever understand,”
Iezujimai no jibun ni tsuba o hakuI spit at myself for failing to say it out loud.
Hitori aimai na yume ni samayouI wander alone in a vague dream,
Yuganda sekai kara nigeru you nias if running away from a twisted world.
Chi ni somatta kokoro o kakushiteHiding my blood-stained heart,
Itsuwari no jibun o norouI’ll curse this fake version of myself,
Ashita nilooking toward tomorrow.
Utatte itai odotte itaiI want to sing, I want to dance,
Amaneku kai ni koikogaredeeply yearning for a universal answer.
Aa doushiyou mo nai koto bakari de madaAh, there are still so many things I can’t control,
Sou sou kakimidashiten daand yes, they’re tearing my mind apart.
Nemurenai ikudo no yoru oCountless sleepless nights,
Koeta saki ni hikari ga aruttemust lead to a light waiting at the end,
Ashita no jibun ni boku ga tokeru you niso I can melt into the person I’ll be tomorrow.
