Shift Lyrics Translation (from “BAD MORNING”)

LINNA FIGG describes the chaos of transformation with lines like, ‘This ice has started to melt.’ The songwriter uses concrete imagery—coffee, long hair, and a razor—to show the physical and emotional toll of pushing through uncertainty. SATOH’s delivery turns these vivid details into a relatable story of resilience.

Shin jidaiA new era
Mata atama n naka deOnce again, inside my head
Kurikaeshita yume ga genjitsuteki na e ni naruThe dreams I’ve repeated are turning into a realistic picture
I think its obviousI think it’s obvious
Tokedashita kono aisuThis ice has started to melt
I think its obviousI think it’s obvious
Never sorasu na sono eyesNever look away, keep those eyes on it
Wan shotto kono buzaa biitaaOne shot, this buzzer beater
Poketto no naka midoru fingaaMiddle finger in my pocket
Uneru biito no sei ka naMaybe it’s because of the surging beat
Ima wa nandaka nerenain daBut for some reason, I can’t sleep right now
Bakuon natteru supiikaaThe speakers are blasting at full volume
Tsunagatteku ten to sen gaThe dots and lines are finally connecting
Unmei wa suraido shite ittaFate just slid right by
Orera nandaka issai oitettandaIt feels like we’ve been left behind entirely
Kami wa uzattai nobitaMy hair’s grown long and annoying
Maa darui kedo mukatteru torimaWell, it’s a drag, but I’m heading out for now
Achikochi itamu kara ima hoshii koohiiMy body aches all over, so I need some coffee
Nomikomu guchi just say bad morningSwallowing down my complaints, I just say ‘bad morning’
Kamisori kirisaku karadaA razor’s cutting through my body
Ima ki ni shitenai etosetoraI don’t care about the ‘etcetera’ right now
Kaminari natteru ga tooku no hou niThunder is rumbling somewhere far off
Massugu ni aruku dake iranai jougiI’ll just walk straight ahead, I don’t need a ruler
Mieru ka na hoshi to hoshi no sukimaI wonder if you can see the gaps between the stars
Kurai tokoro de orera umaretaWe were born in a dark place
Shin jidaiA new era
Mata atama n naka deOnce again, inside my head
Kurikaeshita yume ga genjitsuteki na e ni naruThe dreams I’ve repeated are turning into a realistic picture
I think its obviousI think it’s obvious
Tokedashita kono aisuThis ice has started to melt
I think its obviousI think it’s obvious
Never sorasu na sono eyesNever look away, keep those eyes on it
Yogoreta cheen on my jiinzuDirty chain on my jeans
Fumikomu kuracchi to butsuStepping on the clutch with my boots
Namae mo nai kono lifeThis nameless life of mine
Orera hitoiki de utauWe sing it all in one breath
So many nights that i missed uSo many nights that I missed you
So many fights like we used toSo many fights like we used to have
Mawarikudoi no wa iissuI’m done with being indirect
Counting down 321 mittsuCounting down 3, 2, 1, three
HeyHey
Kechappu ima dobadobaThe ketchup’s pouring out now
Singing champagne supernovaSinging ‘Champagne Supernova’
HeyHey
Aseru kimi choma x2You’re panicking, wait a second
Tomarenai kono flow waThis flow won’t stop
Shouki nara bye da tatteru kiro waIf you’re sane, then goodbye—I’m standing at a crossroads
Tokidoki hora kyuu ni tatsu torihadaLook, sometimes I suddenly get goosebumps
Ore wo isogaseru konkuri no shadow gaThe shadows on the concrete are making me rush
Atama tsukitateta juukou no torigaaThe trigger of a gun barrel pressed against my head
Hieta kuuki ga nodo wo yaku gozen nijiThe cold air burns my throat at 2 AM
Mata chi ga nijindaThe blood has started to seep again
Aa hora naAh, see?
Iwanakutatte wakaru daroYou know even if I don’t say it
Kore itee yoThis really hurts
Itamidome wa tokku ni karada narete kikime nee yoMy body’s long since gotten used to painkillers, they don’t work anymore
Tetsu no aji no iki wo sutte haite choi fukenkouBreathing in and out the taste of iron, it’s a bit unhealthy
Mada modorenain da beddoI still can’t go back to bed
Shin jidaiA new era
Mata atama n naka deOnce again, inside my head
Kurikaeshita yume ga genjitsuteki na e ni naruThe dreams I’ve repeated are turning into a realistic picture
I think its obviousI think it’s obvious
Tokedashita kono aisuThis ice has started to melt
I think its obviousI think it’s obvious
Never sorasu na sono eyesNever look away, keep those eyes on it
