矛盾の唄 Lyrics English Translation by Jyu
The songwriter talks about wanting to both end it all and keep living, calling these feelings ‘wounds full of contradictions.’ One line stands out: ‘Exposing it all is rock and roll, heartbreak songs plus smoking are what sells.’ It’s a bold statement on vulnerability and the cost of being real.
Shinitakute ikitakuteWanting to end it all, wanting to live,
Mujun bakka no kizu wathese wounds full of contradictions,
Ima dake wa kakko tsukeru tame nojust for now, have become the reason
Riyuu ni nattendafor me to try and look cool.
Koroshitai shi aishitai shiWanting to destroy, wanting to love,
Sabishii shi hitori ni naritaifeeling lonely, yet wanting to be alone.
Kuso mitee kizu sarashitaI exposed my awful wounds
Nasakenai mujun no utain this pathetic song of contradictions.
Konjouyaki seppukuSelf-inflicted burns, acts of self-destruction,
Buchi kamashita tsugi no asathe morning after going all out with them.
Are ore ima nansai dattakkeWait, how old am I right now?
Maji de waraenai zeIt’s seriously not funny.
Shinitai yatsu no kimochiThe feelings of someone who wants to end it all,
Me o tojichau kurai ni wato the point of closing my eyes to the world,
Wakatte shimauI understand them completely.
Demo kurutta furi no fasshon menhera wa shinde kureBut those fashionably unstable people faking madness can just disappear.
Sarasu no ga rokku desuExposing it all is rock and roll,
Shitsuren songu purasu kitsuen uri mon desuheartbreak songs plus smoking are what sells.
Ruupu na asahaka na kotoba deWith these looping, shallow words,
Tsubusaresou mushi no you niI feel like I’m going to be crushed like a bug.
Hikutsu na ore gushagusha ni shite kure yoJust crush my cynical self into pieces.
Konna jidai ni umareta kara kurushiiIt hurts because I was born in an era like this.
Shinitakute ikitakuteWanting to end it all, wanting to live,
Mujun bakka no kizu wathese wounds full of contradictions,
Ima dake wa kakko tsukeru tame nojust for now, have become the reason
Riyuu ni nattendafor me to try and look cool.
Koroshitai shi aishitai shiWanting to destroy, wanting to love,
Sabishii shi hitori ni naritaifeeling lonely, yet wanting to be alone.
Kuso mitee kizu sarashitaI exposed my awful wounds
Nasakenai mujun no utain this pathetic song of contradictions.
Kyoukan sareru ningen ni naretaraIf I could become a person people empathize with,
Aisareru no kawould I finally be loved?
Iya kawaranai kokoro ga hoshikute ima o ikiruNo, I live in the present because I want an unchanging heart.
Chimamire de mujun suru ningen datteEven if I’m a blood-stained, contradictory human.
Shinitakute shinitakuteWanting to end it all, wanting to end it all,
Ikitakute ikitakutewanting to live, wanting to live.
Dare no tame ni uta o utauFor whose sake do I sing this song?
