This morning, my alarm attacks me once again
and I rush onto the Odakyu Line train in the nick of time.
My boss calls for me.
I lower my head. I’m today’s punching bag.
I grit my teeth.
I look out at the sky from the dull window
and work keeps piling up every day.
Yeah, it’s all wrong.
I untangle today,
which is all dusty.
I’m not gonna lose.
Though I can’t stand liars
and I’m so small
stop messing with me. Even if I’m laughed at
I’ll send it right back at them.
I’ll show you.
I want to wear my medal of righteousness,
a bright red heart.
I won’t be one to stay down in the dumps
since tomorrow will come.
♪
On the way home, midnight passes
and I’m exhausted. Oh well, I’ll head to the convenience store.
All I do is say I’ll do it tomorrow
and days keep increasing like photocopies.
Don’t make decisions based on your values.
With a stranger’s eyes
you won’t understand it.
You’d never understand it
since your life still isn’t complete.
I’m gonna live.
Even if it’s a mud pit, I’ll show you I can get through it.
Even in the pouring rain
and even if the rope I cling to comes apart
I’ll just crawl my way up.
I’m fed up.
I get that I’m awkward
so don’t compare me.
C’mon legs, don’t stop now.
No, let me walk a little longer.
♪
When I was little
the invincible hero was there
with their voice pushing me on, “Pull yourself together.”
That’s what you said.
What I’m lacking now
must be the courage to break through.
I’ll show you.
Back then, I stopped and couldn’t keep going
and to myself from those days
I say these words,
that you mustn’t put yourself down and say it’s no use.
I’ll wear
a cloak of justice.
I’ve got to turn tight spots into opportunities.
Smash down the closed door.
It’s not like it even had a key to start with.
There’s no way I’ll lose.
I don’t even care if it’s just getting started
I’ll do it over and over.
Are you kidding me?
Even if it’s no use
we make the rules!
I’ll charm you.
Even frustration is a spice.
I’ll puff out my chest
and run as far as I can
like the hero I long to be like.
