Shaky Lyrics Translation Rejay | Grown tag
The musician sings about silent battles in his mind, describing how external labels and expectations weigh him down. A key line, ‘I’m shaky as hell, I don’t need that attention,’ highlights his emotional turmoil. The beat captures the tension of pretending to be okay while feeling far from it.
Silent battlesSilent battles,
Atama no naka defighting inside my head.
Because you gave me some presetsBecause you gave me some presets,
Otona tte iu taga label called ‘grown-up’.
Just a fine pretender insteadI’m just a fine pretender instead.
Kiri ga nai neThere’s no end to it,
Iki ga tsumaru waand it’s suffocating me.
Welcome to societyWelcome to society,
Holdin’ my piggy bank on the streetholding my piggy bank on the street.
Phone at 10% so am I deadMy phone is at 10%, so am I dead?
Oh noOh no,
Soto wa noise darakethe outside world is full of noise.
Headphones de fusaideI block it out with my headphones,
Karappo ni naru madeuntil my mind becomes completely empty.
I’m shaky as hellI’m shaky as hell.
Iranai sono attentionI don’t need that attention.
Konya dake wa selfishJust for tonight, I’ll be selfish.
Dare no tame demo nai waThis isn’t for anyone else’s sake.
Aimai me vibeIt’s an ambiguous ‘me’ vibe,
Kanjita mama de dancing ridetaking a dancing ride just as I feel it.
Aimai me vibeIt’s an ambiguous ‘me’ vibe,
Aimai na me myself and Ian ambiguous me, myself, and I.
No more mom’s allowanceNo more of mom’s allowance,
No more dad’s free ridesand no more of dad’s free rides.
Set my fighting stanceI set my fighting stance,
But my legs keep shakingbut my legs keep shaking.
Atama de wakattete moEven if I understand it in my head,
Hitori ja tatenaiI can’t stand on my own.
Anmari da yo gentIt’s just too much.
Iie daijoubu desu‘No, I’m fine,’
Sonna kotoba dakethose are the only words,
Tokui ni natteku dakethat I’m getting good at saying.
Oh noOh no,
Heiki na furi shiteI pretend to be okay,
I know I’m so far from okaybut I know I’m so far from okay.
Late night b#tchin’ with my friends againLate night complaining with my friends again.
I’m shaky as hellI’m shaky as hell.
