BUTAOTOME – Exit/Entry // 出口入口

The 30th was translation day, apparently! It has certainly been a productive one.

いつまでたっても敵わない
だっていつまでたっても分からない
それじゃいつまでたっても変わらない
だから「いつまで」なんてゴミ箱入れて
明日じゃなくてもいいじゃない
いっそ今からやってもいいじゃない
先にのばすとなんだかダルくない？
だから今すぐやってモヤモヤ捨てて
itsumadetattemo kanawanai
datte itsumadetattemo wakaranai
sore ja itsumadetattemo kawaranai
dakara “itsumade” nante gomibako irete
ashita janakutemo ii janai
isso ima kara yattemo ii janai
saki ni nobasu to nandaka darukunai?
dakara ima sugu yatte moyamoya sutete
No matter how much time passes, I can’t do it
And no matter how much time passes, I just cant understand
Then no matter how much time passes, nothing changes
So I put this “how much time” in the bin
Tomorrow isn’t just fine
In a minute isn’t just fine
Isn’t it kinda tiring procrastinating for so long?
So I do it now, throwing out this depressed feeling

流れてくる人々の日々は
喜怒哀楽＋盛り、釣り、鬱、フラグ
nagarete kuru hitobito no hibi wa
kidoairaku purasu mori, tsuri, utsu, furagu
In the flowing days of a human
are their emotions, their prime, their jokes, their depression, their status

何を見つけ何して　何を見ずに何しない？
言い訳のアマゾンじゃ方位磁石もきかず
グルグルグルグル回る
nani wo mitsuke nani shite – nani wo mizu ni nani shinai?
iiwake no amazon ja houijishaku mo kikazu
guruguru guruguru mawaru
What to find, what to do? When not seeing a thing, what not to do?
Within the Amazon of excuses, a compass isn’t any good
I just go round and round in circles

目を閉じて耳閉じて　口を閉じて感じて
微かな鼓動　それが自分らしさ
me wo tojite mimi tojite – kuchi wo tojite kanjite
kasuka na kodou – sore ga jibunrashisa
I close my eyes, I close my ears, I close my mouth, I close my feelings
Just a faint pulse: That is who I am

何を見つめ何して　何を見せて何しない？
自分次第　何したい？　簡単じゃないけれど
グルグルグルグルして　あちこちヤキモキして
出口と入口探す
nani wo mitsume nani shite nani wo misete nani shinai?
jibun shidai nani shitai? kantan janai keredo
guruguru guruguru shite achikochi yakimoki shite
deguchi to iriguchi sagasu
What to find, what to do? What to show, what not to do?
I rely on myself. What do I want? It’s not easy
Round and round, here and there, filled with anxiety
Searching for the exit and the entry
