Rally Call Lyrics Translation – Shintokyo
The lyricist describes a city’s layers, from bookshelves to asphalt, as symbols of past and present struggles. ‘Blast the rally call! Shatter the silence!’ shouts the performer, urging listeners to break free from constraints. The song’s imagery, like ‘swollen books’ and ‘city pulses,’ connects personal history to collective action.
Yubisaki nokoru kami no zaratsuki sae hondana ni oshikondaI’ve even tucked the rough texture of paper left on my fingertips into the bookshelf.
Sugisatta mono de fukuranda se ga hamidashite iruThe spines of books, swollen with the past, are bursting out of place.
Yawarakaku ima ni mo tokedashite shimaisou na rinkaku wa taezu katachi o kaeruThe outlines, soft and seemingly ready to melt away at any moment, are constantly shifting their shape.
Sono chuushin ni furetara sekai ga ichidankai hodokeruIf I touch their very core, the world will unravel another layer deep.
Blast the rally callBlast the rally call!
Seijaku yabutteShatter the silence!
We cross the skylineWe cross the skyline.
Break down the firewallBreak down the firewall!
Asufaruto no shita de machi ga mata myakuutsuBeneath the asphalt, the city’s pulse begins to beat again.
Doro no nioi mo shiranai kutsu de dareka ga fuminarashiteruSomeone’s stomping around with shoes that don’t even know the scent of mud.
Uwasuberi no rizumu ga chisou o oshiteA shallow rhythm pushes against the earth’s layers,
Mou kono machi no jiban wa yuruganaiand the foundation of this city won’t ever waver.
Kyou mo purotokoru doori hyousou de wa hakai ga tsuzukuToday too, destruction continues on the surface just as the protocol dictates.
Sono shita de nanika ga ugomeite iruSomething’s squirming beneath it all.
Joumyaku o kakeagari biru no sukima ni me o dashite iruIt’s racing up the veins and sprouting through the cracks between the buildings.
Blast the rally callBlast the rally call!
Netsu o tazusaeteBring the heat with you!
We cross the skylineWe cross the skyline.
Break all protocolBreak all protocol!
Kono shoudou ga yagate machi o terasu toki madeUntil this impulse finally lights up the entire city.
Iki o haku komaku o hajiku karada kara koboreochita toritomenai otoAimless sounds that snap against the eardrums spill from my body as I breathe.
Rinkaku wa koku futoku ishi wa shin o motsuThe outlines grow dark and bold, and my will finds its core.
Citywide rally callA citywide rally call!
Seijaku yabutteShatter the silence!
We cross the skylineWe cross the skyline.
Break down the firewallBreak down the firewall!
Noboru taiyou to tomo ni machi wa asa o mukaeruAs the sun rises, the city welcomes the new morning.
