On Your Marks Lyrics English (with Translation): Aimyon
Aimyon pens and performs ‘On Your Marks,’ a reflective track that blends her signature introspective style with a melody crafted alongside Kyuya Nishimoto, Kentaro Kimura, Tadashi Nakamura, and TANAKA YUSUKE. The song starts with a gentle yet urgent rhythm, setting the stage for its deep lyrical content.
The songwriter talks about the struggle of finding happiness in a ‘muddy’ world, where even the ‘starting gun’ of life feels muted. A key line, ‘I’m living because I want to change,’ highlights her determination to evolve despite life’s obstacles and internal conflicts.
Kantan ni shiawase ni nareru houhou wo sagashiteruI’m searching for a way to find happiness easily.
Sonna kensaku bakari bakabakashiiSpending all my time searching like that is just foolish.
Iiyo waratteIt’s fine, you can laugh at me.
Toumei na hitomi de seken wo miraretaraIf I could look at the world with clear eyes,
Dokomade mo raku ni nareru no darou kaI wonder how much easier my life would become.
Otosareta sekai ga sukoshi nigoryunde itaThe world I was dropped into was a bit muddy.
Hajime kara tsumazuitaI’ve been tripping up right from the very start.
Pisutoru no oto wo dareka ga saegiruSomeone blocks the sound of the ‘starting gun’.
Kizutsukete katachi wo kaeteiku ikikata deBy hurting others and changing who I am just to survive,
Souyatte ibasho wo mitsuketa yoI’ve finally found a place where I belong.
Kawaritakute ikiteI’m living because I want to change.
Handan ga nibuku naru zen no hashikure de yubi wo kiruMy judgment’s getting dull, and I cut my finger on the edge of ‘goodness’.
Kimochi no warui egao ga kokoro namen mawasuA disgusting smile is licking all over my heart.
Mou kudaiteJust crush it already.
Dokini demo aru you naLike the kind of thing you’d find anywhere,
Okimari lo fushiawase dewith the same old type of unhappiness,
Sono saki de kusaru ka wa jibun shidai na no kais it really up to me whether I rot away after this?
Nokosareta jikan ga aseri wo sasoi madouThe time I’ve got left makes me panic and feel lost.
Ikitakatta tooku madeI wanted to go so far away.
Kiteki no oto sae dareka ga saegiruSomeone even blocks the sound of the steam whistle.
Unmei ga amarini shizuka ni mushibande kuruFate’s quietly eating away at me.
Naze jiyuu wa yasashii furi wo shiteWhy does freedom pretend to be so kind,
Otoshiana wo tsukuru nowhile it’s busy digging a trap for me?
Otosareta sekai ga sukoshi nigoryunde itaThe world I landed in felt a little blurred.
Hajime kara tsumazuitaI’ve been stumbling since the very beginning.
Pisutoru no oto wo dareka ga saegiruSomeone’s blocking out the sound of the ‘starting gun’.
Kizutsukete katachi wo kaeteiku ikikata deBy hurting others and changing my shape to get by,
Souyatte ibasho wo mitsuketa yothat’s how I found a place to call my own.
