English Translation

What's up? What's going on
No ingredient to make me relieved
Cells become impure from nonsense talk
Every second. Ah, oh

Somehow my heart has been stirred up lately and I'm restless
I remember when I was a kid, I captured light with my pure body
So sparkly. Let it shine through
I was just snuggling to my ego with clean eyes
Back to the future, ruthless party, invested money, value of life
So ridiculous, Japon nowadays, complicated past, roaring from music venues
Youngsters desperate to bloom and old people sit still
So many ways to help. What should I do?

What's up? What's going on
No ingredient to make me relieved
Cells become impure from nonsense talk
Every second. Ah, oh
Even with a fighting pose,
I can't pull off a critical hit
Even today, swimming in the waves of Lo-Fi. Ah, oh

So many things don't go as expected
Had a tough time through trial and error
This is study. This is the beginning
Predict to be fooled for more than I can imagine
Alarm sounds in the distance. I pretend not to notice
What am I doing
Ups and downs keep coming. Bummer
There aren't many people I want to see
but I have relationships I want to change
Feeling annoyed over the meaningless news?
Before we even know, are we becoming one of them?
Blurred focus on faded colors
Feelings are gone. Not enough play
When to leave is important. Typical rankings
Yes, I'm part of the ordinary

What's up? What's going on
Wounded all over and there is no answer
Don't say scary things
Go ahead and answer
Even with a lot of money, there is nothing to do
Anyone with a bad first impression
has a similar brain. We're human

What color are you seeing
How much does your pain hurt?
Sad that I'll never know
but I can imagine it

What's up? What's going on
No ingredient to make me relieved
Cells become impure from nonsense talk
Every second. Ah, oh
Even with a fighting pose,
it's not a critical hit
Even today, swimming in the waves of Lo-Fi. Ah, oh
