There’s some interesting wordplay in this song. For example, the first line contains the word ナンセンス (nonsense), which is followed later in the song by ハイセンス (haisensu, refined), and ライセンス (license). This sort of stuff doesn’t translate well into English, as you can see with the second word: we don’t really call things ‘high sense.’


歌詞

ナンセンスな毎日を
卑しめて慰めた
切り取って貼り付ける
繰り返しループする生活

ワンテイクに込められた
意味なんてなかったよ
切り裂いて縫い合わせる
繰り返しループする生活

憎悪に善がっては
傷を増やすばかり
あれもこれも駄目だな
最低な気分でパーティーパーティー

君に善がっては
引かれてばかり
あれもこれも欲しいな
最高な気分でパーティーパーティー

鏡に映った君は誰
不適な笑み浮かべて
毒に侵された襤褸人形
今にも壊れそうだ

暗闇に紛れてララバイ
暗闇を越えてサラバイ
希望を求めて足掻く
いつかきっと

暗闇に紛れてララバイ
暗闇を越えてサラバイ
希望を求めて足掻く
アイアイアイシテル

ハイセンスな毎日を
求めて我に返っては
僕が僕のことを
抱きしめて離さないんだ

ライセンスに囚われた
愚かな大人達は
コソコソ夜な夜なに

鏡に映った君は誰
不適な笑み浮かべて
毒に侵された襤褸人形
今にも壊れそうだ

暗闇に紛れてララバイ
暗闇を越えてサラバイ
希望を求めて足掻く
いつかきっと

暗闇に紛れてララバイ
暗闇を越えてサラバイ
希望を求めて足掻く
アイアイアイシテル

Translation

I despised each day, which was so nonsensical,
and I consoled myself.
Cut and paste—
My life was continuously looping.

It was all packed into one take
and it meant nothing at all.
Tear it up and stitch it back together—
My life was continuously looping.

Satisfying myself with hatred
only makes me more wounded.
Everything’s no good.
In the worst spirits, party! Party!

Satisfying myself with you
only makes me more attracted to you.
I want everything!
In the best spirits, party! Party!

Who are you, reflected there in the mirror?
An inappropriate smile appears on your face.
You’re a rag doll afflicted by poison.
Looks like you’ll break at any moment…

A lullaby slips into the darkness.
A goodbye passes through the darkness.
I struggle around, seeking hope.
Someday, for sure—

A lullaby slips into the darkness.
A goodbye passes through the darkness.
I struggle around, seeking hope.
I, I, I love you!

I sought refined days
and came to my senses.
Then, I embraced myself.
We won’t be parted.

I was captured by a license.
The foolish adults
act secretly, each and every night.

Who are you, reflected there in the mirror?
An inappropriate smile appears on your face.
You’re a rag doll afflicted by poison.
Looks like you’ll break at any moment…

A lullaby slips into the darkness.
A goodbye passes through the darkness.
I struggle around, seeking hope.
Someday, for sure…

A lullaby slips into the darkness.
A goodbye passes through the darkness.
I struggle around, seeking hope.
I, I, I love you!
