BAD MORNING’s Paradox Japanese Lyrics English Translation
The songwriter writes, ‘Every time the drums beat, they scramble my thoughts,’ capturing the confusion of a mind wrestling with doubt. The lyrics mention small, physical acts, like stuffing pain into a pocket or doubling headphone volume, to show the struggle of moving forward.
My song is stuck on radioMy song’s playing on the radio,
Kimi wa itta ore wa usotsuki tobut you called me a liar.
Wake ga wakaranaku natte shimattaI’ve lost all sense of what’s real,
Dakara nagesuteta senchi oso I threw away those sentimental feelings.
Ore motomete ita change oI was searching for a change,
Moshimo ano toki dou toka ato ni shite kureso let’s leave the ‘what ifs’ for later.
Kaiko shugisha ni wa panchi oI’ll strike back at those who dwell on the past,
Okubyou na ore ni wa shitauchi oand click my tongue at my own cowardice.
Betsubetsu no tabi ni tsuita ano tomodachi ni wa goodbye oI’ve said goodbye to the friends who went their separate ways,
Sonde chotto kurai no pain moand even this slight bit of pain,
Ima poketto ni tsukkondeI’m stuffing into my pocket now,
Atama karappo ni naru no o mattawaiting for my mind to go completely empty.
Dakara naniSo what?
Mou okashiku natteI’m already losing my mind,
Kotoba ni wa dekikko nakuteand I just can’t put it into words.
