Zero Ignition Lyrics Translation – Mao Uesugi
The lyricist writes about breaking free with lines like “set fire to this unfulfilled passion.” He mentions a train carrying nightmares that scatters sparks. The writer describes tearing through a future colored by despair.
Kakenuketa kokoro ushinau sono mae niBefore I lose this heart that’s raced ahead,
Aishiteta hito ya machi ga maboroshi demoEven if the people and streets I loved are just a dream,
Sore de kamawanaiI don’t really mind.
Naiteru dake no kisetsu wa tou ni sugiteThe seasons spent only crying are long gone,
Tobidashita furui kyoushitsuas I’ve broken out of that old classroom.
Sukui wo motome tou e mukau hitsuji no mure ga kogoete iruThe flock of sheep heading to the tower for salvation is freezing.
Saa tachiagareru ima nara torimodoseru shirokuro tsukeyouCome on, we can stand up now; we’ll reclaim our lives and settle the score.
Mitasarenu gekijou ni hi wo tsukeSet fire to this unfulfilled passion,
Owaraseru tame no torigaait’s the trigger to end it all.
Mou hanasanaiI won’t let go anymore.
Uchinuita uso mo tadashisa mo zenbuEvery lie and every truth I’ve shot through,
Mou ichido hajimeyou zero karalet’s start over once again from zero.
Akumu wo hakobu ressha wa hibana chirashiThe train carrying nightmares scatters sparks,
Supiido agetekuas it picks up speed.
Detarame na hodo sekai wa saiaku da naThe world’s so nonsensical, it’s just the absolute worst,
Kowaseru sa kimi to boku narabut you and I can tear it down.
Kizu wo nameai doko e mukau mune de furueru yuuki moyaseWhere are we going, licking each other’s wounds? Burn the courage trembling in your chest.
Ima kotae no nai sekai de tashikameau bokura no unmeiIn this world without answers, we’ll prove our destiny to each other.
Kirisaita zetsubou iro no miraiI’ve torn through a future colored by despair,
Muda na koto da to iwaretemoand even if they say it’s pointless,
Sou modorenaiI’m not going back now.
Yokubou no mama ni kakenukete hoeroRun wild and howl with your desires,
Saigo wa hai ni naru subete gabecause in the end, everything’ll turn to ash.
Shoudou ni tsukidokasaretaDriven by a sudden impulse,
Jiyuu wo motomeru kemono wathe beast searching for freedom
Mou tomaranaiwon’t be stopped anymore.
Aishiteta tsumi mo ayamachi mo zenbuEvery sin and every mistake I’ve loved,
Saigo wa zero ni naru subete gain the end, everything returns to zero.
