NEO-LUDDITE Lyrics English Translation by 9Lana
Kohei Kiriake writes the line ‘I want to see you, make the pain go away’ as a plea for a digital hug. The poet describes defenses melting like snow in early spring, and the heart locked in a black box. He adds that the algorithm changes every time we touch, creating a glitchy pulse.
Are ga shiritai byou de ripurai riben no saisentan no jidaiI want to know that, replying in a heartbeat in this era of cutting-edge convenience.
Mamireru koukoku ya heitaa mo sono yubi hitotsu de kantan ni kaiketsu deshoEven the ads and haters I’m smothered in are easily dealt with using just one finger, right?
Demo kimi no mae ja fukisoku na rizumu kizamiBut when I’m standing before you, I start ticking to an irregular rhythm,
Kore ja marude ikareta douraa kimi wa misuteriimaking me like some crazy ‘droller’, while you’re a complete mystery.
Matou wa harusaki no yuki no you ni tokete yuku noMy defenses are melting away like snow in early spring,
Kogareta purosesu de umareta sui amai nigaiborn from a process I’ve longed for, it’s sour, sweet, and bitter all at once.
Ijoujitai da te ni oenai wa (Can’t stop)It’s a total emergency, I can’t handle this anymore (Can’t stop).
Raddaddaddaito isso kowashite shimaitai noL-L-L-Luddite, I just want to smash it all to pieces.
Mune no oku o mushibamu uirusu no taishouhou ga wakaranai n da yoI don’t know the cure for the virus eating away at my heart.
Aitai no itai no tonde tte 1 2 3 de tataite roudenI want to see you, make the pain go away, hit 1-2-3 and watch the sparks fly.
Shibire shibire da shibire shibire da DaI’m feeling numb, so numb right now.
Giddy giddy up giddy giddy up upGiddy giddy up, giddy giddy up, up.
Raddaddaddaito fureau tabi kawaru arugorizumuL-L-L-Luddite, the algorithm changes every time we touch.
Anna no wa gijin da nante kiben nya marumete poi de odorimashouLet’s toss that sophistry about things being ‘too human’ and just dance the night away.
Undo wa shinaide kon seiki saidai no machigai datte iineDon’t hit ‘undo’, let’s just ‘like’ the biggest mistake of the century.
Lyla hajimete iki o shitaLyla, I’ve breathed for the very first time.
Burakkubokkusu ni tojikometa kimi e no omoi gaMy feelings for you, locked away in a black box,
Irimidarete Es no meetaa ga hanenagatchitchatteare all tangled up, sending my ‘id’ meter off the charts.
Error error errorError error error.
Dare mo kono sutoorii no ketsumatsu wa shiranaiNo one knows how this story’s going to end.
Firutaababuru yaburu koto de mieru naraba ransha furanmaIf I can see by bursting this ‘filter bubble’, let the reflections ignite,
Shinjitsu dake o oshiete ai no mani manitell me only the truth, drifting in the wake of love.
Togireta gosenfu o tsumugu kimi no senritsu o uyamuya ni shitaku wa nai karaI don’t want to lose your melody that weaves through the broken score,
Aa da kou da iiwake shinaide shitemiyou ka (Try now)so let’s stop making excuses and just give it a shot (Try now).
Raddaddaddaito kitto kowarete shimau kedoL-L-L-Luddite, I’m sure I’ll end up breaking,
Makafushigi de keikei na gimikku ni mi o makasete mitai n da yobut I want to surrender to this mysterious, ‘shimmering’ gimmick.
Aimai Me kuramu Dance suten korori hajikete kono mi wa douseAmbiguous Me, dizzied by the dance, I’ll probably just tumble and burst anyway,
Chirijiri da chirijiri da Daending up scattered, all scattered in the air.
Giddy giddy up giddy giddy up upGiddy giddy up, giddy giddy up, up.
Get down anbaransu demo zenzen kankei naiGet down, it doesn’t matter if we’re totally unbalanced.
Tappu & suwaipu de inashite yukou ka (Woo-la-la-la)Let’s just parry it all with a tap and a swipe (Woo-la-la-la).
Sing along sa koe takarakaSing along now, let your voice ring out.
Suupaanova issei ni Boom boomA supernova going off all at once, Boom boom.
Suupaadyuupaa genkai o toppaSuper-duper, breaking through every limit.
Arata na feezu e YeahMoving into a brand new phase, Yeah.
Raddaddaddaito yappari kimi ga inai toL-L-L-Luddite, after all, if you’re not by my side,
Fu ni okosu koto mo dekinai kono rapusodiaI can’t even make sense of this rhapsody on my own.
Aitai no itai no tonde tte 1 2 3 de tataite roudenI want to see you, make the pain go away, hit 1-2-3 and watch the sparks fly.
Shibire shibire da shibire shibire da DaI’m feeling numb, so numb right now.

Undo wa shinaide konya kizamikomareru saikou no meedeeDon’t hit ‘undo’, tonight we’ll carve out the ultimate Mayday.
Lyla yoake wa sugu soko daLyla, the dawn is just around the corner.
