Pain Give Form Lyrics English Translation by Zutomayo
ACAね describes a t-shirt stained with tears and the idea of blurring out only the things she dislikes. The line ‘The resident angel is an armor of pain’ shows how pain can become a shield. The poet talks about choosing what to believe in and walking forward, even if the marks of the past remain.
Shimi ni naru noIt’ll turn into a stain,
Watashi no namida o suu t-shirtthis t-shirt’s soaking up my tears.
Iyana mono dake o bokasu gijutsuThe skill of blurring out only the things I hate,
Sonna koto itsu kara dekiru you nisince when did I become able,
Natte shimatta noto do things like that?
Wagamamana kamiThis selfish hair,
Tsunagi tomete iiyou can tie it back,
Shibaritsukete iiyou can bind it tight.
Ato ga kienai noniEven though the marks won’t fade,
HanarerarenaiI just can’t leave.
Erabanakute iiYou don’t have to choose,
Michibikareru mama nijust let yourself be led.
Sumitsuita tenshi wa itami no yoroiThe resident angel is an armor of pain.
Ii kara negattara arawareru ki ga shitaI felt like if I just wished for it, they’d appear.
Nemuri ni tsuku made aruitekuI’ll keep walking until I fall asleep,
Nando mo onaji koto mamoru karaprotecting the same things over and over.
Kotae awase shinakute moEven if we don’t compare our answers,
Daijoubu kimi to watashi dakeit’s okay, it’s just you and me.
Muzai de kirei desuWe’re innocent and beautiful.
Subete mazatte inakute moEven if everything doesn’t blend together,
Daijoubu futari no kotodamait’s okay, the power of our words is here.
Yukai de okashii tteI know it’s fun and strange,
Wakatteru kedobut I already know that.
Iji ni naruI’m getting stubborn,
Shounin sare shouhi saretekubeing approved and then consumed.
Sukina mono dake de mitasu gijutsuThe skill of filling life with only what I like,
Sonna koto itsu kara dekiru you nisince when did I become able,
Natte shimatta noto do things like that?
Wagamamana kamiThis selfish hair,
Tsunagi tomete moeven if I tie it down,
Shibaritsukete moeven if I bind it tight.
Ato ga kienai noniEven though the marks won’t fade,
Shinjitai mono othe things I want to believe in,
Eranda tte ii deshouit’s okay to choose them, right?
Michibikareru mama niJust let yourself be led.
