English Translation

Scattered memories pierce through sadness
I've left a miserable grudge behind
for his sake

You've got no idea what it's like
To be painfully lonely

Just for now, let loose

Fury, right now
Send the bad guys flying
That's a punishment with love
I'm not sleepy anymore
No, no
I'm not sad anymore
No, no
Fury, right now
Kick the bad guys to the curb
That's a punishment that leads to love
I'm not sleepy anymore
No, no
I'm not lonely anymore
No, no

Against the sun

Tragic ends are shrouded in beauty
Endless, close to body heat
Painted in red
I see its beauty through my blurred vision
Burning light on my back
I'm mesmerized by red

My heart's become tangled up
I know even now
It's become frayed
Impatient words

Fury, right now
Send the bad guys flying
That's a punishment with love
I'm not sleepy anymore
No, no
I'm not sad anymore
No, no
Fury, right now
Kick the bad guys to the curb
That's a punishment that leads to love
I'm not sleepy anymore
No, no
I'm not lonely anymore
No, no

Against the sun

The words I prayed in anger
have crumbled in exhaustion
But the feelings still linger
Ah, if only the words I said over and over
reached you and you understood
Because dreaming is painful

Fury, do it again
Send the bad guys flying
That's a punishment with love
I'm not sleepy anymore
No, no
I'm not sad anymore
No, no
That's right, fury
Kick the bad guys to the curb
That's a punishment toward love
I'm not sleepy anymore
No, no
I'm not lonely anymore
No, no

Against the sun
