Watson • From “Soul Quake 3”
Kyoutoiuhiwa Lyrics Meaning Watson | Soul Quake 3
The poet writes about skipping after-parties and ignoring texts to focus on goals, saying, ‘A day like today won’t ever come back.’ Watson describes the push to succeed, mixing personal struggles with humor, like admitting he’d be in Slytherin at Hogwarts. The lyrics reflect on family, mistakes, and the drive to level up.
Kyou susumitai kara afuta ni ikazu niI wanna move forward today, so I’m skippin’ the after-party,
Yareteta ano ko no rain wa ima mushiIgnoring that girl’s text, even though we could’ve hooked up
Kane ni kaereru machigai moEven my mistakes are turning into cash,
Futsukayoi no toki omou sake maji yameyoWhen I’m hungover, I swear I’m really done with booze
Afuresasu kinko ni kane komento ran ni honoo makuStuffing the safe with cash and setting the comments ablaze,
Mada apato oto de okosu tonari no okosanStill in this apartment, waking up the neighbor’s kid with the noise,
Inaka no gaki karanderu tonai no otonaA country kid tangling with the city’s grown-ups,
Amakunai mokuhyou amai tabeteru chokobaMy goals aren’t easy, but I’m munching on a sweet chocolate bar
Kyou to iu hi wa mou konaiA day like today won’t ever come back,
Negau dake ja dame da yozora niJust wishing on the night sky won’t get it done
Hajimeru no ima demo osonaiIt’s never too late to start right now,
Tomodachi mo bazureba hokorashiiI’m proud when my friends finally go viral
Kyou to iu hi wa mou konaiA day like today won’t ever come back,
Negau dake ja dame da yozora niJust wishing on the night sky won’t get it done
Ima made wa okonai yokunaiMy actions haven’t been the best up until now,
Dakedo kekka mita toki hokorashiiBut seeing the results makes me feel so proud
Kasakasa kuchibiru nai rippukurimuMy lips are dry and I’ve got no lip balm,
Rainen mo saseru zo kimi bikkuriI’m gonna blow your mind next year too,
Ima joukyou ga warukutemo hikkuriEven if things are rough now, I’ll flip the script,
Kaesu tame ni doryoku suru jikkuriWorking steadily to turn it all around
Rebe rebe rebe rebe rebe rebe rebe appuLevel level level level level level level up,
Kimi kara shite mirya motomoto dekita toYou might think I could do this from the start,
Omou kamo dakeredo matomo ni netenaiBut I haven’t had a decent night’s sleep,
Hajime kara dekireba shinai yo medetakuIf it were easy from the start, there’d be nothing to celebrate
Sukoshi mae wa iesuman cho benriBeing a “yes man” was convenient a while back,
Dakedo ore datte ikitai yo chouten niBut I’m aiming for the absolute top too,
Kanojo ya tomodachitachi mo suki yakedoI love my girl and my friends, but still,
Sutajio de shiroi gohan ni furikake oI’m in the studio putting ‘furikake’ on plain white rice
Bachan kane aru demo mita binbouGrandma had money, but I still saw what it’s like to be poor,
Ima demo mada torauma ga itain joThe trauma still cuts deep even now,
Mama ni kirete kenka shite iu kiraiGetting mad at my mom and telling her “I hate you”,
Yori mo mata raibu kina to iitaiI’d rather tell her to come see my show again
D#rakku shitetemo okitaiEven if I’m messed up on stuff, I gotta wake up,
Seikou suru tame ni shudan erabanaiI’ll do whatever it takes to succeed,
Hoguwatsu nara iku no wa surizarinIf I were at Hogwarts, I’d definitely be in Slytherin,
Yubi kuwaete minai zo yukizakiI won’t just stand there watching where I’m headed
Wadaiko sousha ja nai noni batsu atariI’m no ‘wadaiko’ drummer, but I’m catching some heat,
Shigarami no toki gohan ni aji ga naiFood has no flavor when you’re tied down by bullshit,
Atarimae no koto kanjiru arigatamiI’m feeling grateful for the simple things,
Kane o kaseide otosu zo machinaka niI’m gonna make bank and spend it all over town
Isogashiku shite narubeku attenai kazokuI’ve been keeping busy and avoiding my family as much as I can
Hisabisa ni kaeru no ga kimazui no kamoMaybe it’s just ’cause going home after all this time feels awkward
Kane o totteta jichan no kuruma karaI used to steal money from my grandpa’s car,
Hayo ayamara na nenrei ga kuru karadaI’ve gotta apologize soon before I reach the age where my body gives out.
Sonna ore dakara jiman ni nannai yo vvSince I’m like that, I’m nothing to be proud of
Dakedo aru kubi o hikarashita imiBut there’s a reason I’ve made this necklace shine,
Ye daijina mono ga gorudo ja yadaYeah, I don’t want the most important things to just be gold
Senpai kamashite sagashiteru chakaPressuring the seniors while hunting for a ‘chaka’ ‘gun’
Kyou to iu hi wa mou konaiA day like today will never come again,
Negau dake ja dame da yozora niJust wishing upon the night sky isn’t enough,
Hajimeru no ima demo osonaiIt’s not too late to start right now,
Tomodachi mo bazureba hokorashiiI’ll be proud if my friends go viral too.
Kyou to iu hi wa mou konaiThis day won’t ever return,
Negau dake ja dame da yozora niYou can’t just wish on the stars and expect a change,
Ima made wa okonai yokunaiMy actions up until now haven’t been good,
Dakedo kekka mita toki hokorashiiBut when I see the results, I’ll feel that pride.
Kasakasa kuchibiru nai rippukurimuMy lips are chapped and I’ve got no lip balm
Rainen mo saseru zo kimi bikkuriI’m gonna keep surprising you next year too
Ima joukyou ga warukutemo hikkuriEven if things are bad right now, I’ll flip it all,
Kaesu tame ni doryoku suru jikkuriI’m putting in the slow, steady work to turn the tide.
Rebe rebe rebe rebe rebe rebe rebe appuLevel, level, level, level, level, level, leveling up
Kimi kara shite mirya motomoto dekita toFrom your perspective, you might think I was born with this,
Omou kamo dakeredo matomo ni netenaiBut I haven’t been getting any real sleep,
Hajime kara dekireba shinai yo medetakuIf I could’ve done it from the start, I wouldn’t be celebrating like this.
Urayamashii to omottemoEven if you think you’re envious of me,
Kono jinsei ikirya hannichi de ne o ageruIf you lived this life, you’d give up in half a day,
Kako wasurete kyou mata atai o ageruI’ll forget the past and raise my value again today,
Onna gaki jane okyakusan no te o ageruI’m not a brat, I’m making the crowd throw their hands up.
Mada tanne to omottemo kono shunkan wa ima dake nidome wa nakuEven if I feel it’s not enough, this moment is one-of-a-kind and won’t happen twice,
Dakara koso flow shite shi o erabuThat’s why I flow and choose my ‘shi’ ‘lyrics/death’,
Mata onaji jinsei iwaretara shi o erabuIf I were told to live this same life again, I’d choose death,
Tafu dashi kuraku tomo ni shita kurakuI’m tough, and I’ve shared the ‘kuraku’ ‘joys and sorrows’ with my crew.
Akarui hiru tsure ni kakasene c#rackIn the bright daylight, I can’t do without my homies’ ‘crack’ ‘jokes’,
Kangae ga amai to iwaretandaPeople told me my thinking was too naive,
Oyaji no ha ga ne riyu amakunai anpanThe reason my dad lost his teeth isn’t as sweet as ‘anpan’ ‘red bean bread’,
Ore no jikka wa tonkatsuya jane kedoMy family home isn’t a pork cutlet shop, but I’m still ‘katsu’ ‘winning’.
Mukatsuku yankii shita katsuageI used to shake down those annoying punks for money,
Ki ni shiteta no satsu to satsutareAll I cared about was ‘satsu’ ‘bills’ and ‘satsutare’ ‘police surveillance’,
Iyake to ma yori mo hikari sasu madeUntil the light shines through the disgust and the demons,
Kyou to iu hi wa mou konaiA day like today will never come again.
Tochu akiramereba konjou nashiIf I give up halfway, I’ve got no guts,
Kore ga nai ore doushou mo naiwithout this drive, I’m just a hopeless case.
Nashitogeru yatsu wa otokorashiiA man’s defined by what he actually achieves,
Kyou to iu hi wa mou konaiand a day like today’s never coming back.
Sekinin motsunda yo kotoba niI’m taking full responsibility for every word I say,
Ichiban daijina mono sotto dakiwhile gently holding onto what matters most to me.
Gussuri nemureru kimi no tonariI can finally sleep soundly right there by your side,
Kasakasa kuchibiru nai rippukurimuwith dry, chapped lips and not a bit of ‘lip balm’.
Rainen mo saseru zo kimi bikkuriNext year, I’m gonna give you another big surprise,
Ima joukyou ga warukutemo hikkuricause even if things look bad now, I’ll flip it all,
Kaesu tame ni doryoku suru jikkuriworking steadily to turn the whole situation around.
Rebe rebe rebe rebe rebe rebe rebe appuI’m leveling, leveling, leveling, leveling up.
Kimi kara shite mirya motomoto dekita toFrom your perspective, you might think I was born with it,
Omou kamo dakeredo matomo ni netenaibut the truth is, I haven’t had a decent night’s sleep.
Hajime kara dekireba shinai yo medetakuIf I could’ve done this from the start, there’d be nothing to celebrate.
