SUPER BEAVER - Gradation Lyrics + English Translation

嬉しそうな顔が見たいよ
助けたいし　時には許したい
声荒げて　責めても仕方ない
ひどく傷付けるなら　堪えたい

そんな気持ちは嘘ではなくて
でも気持ちはひとつでもなくて
行き場を失くした憤りに
溺れそうになったとき

掴むのは　信念か　身勝手か
思いやりか　自己犠牲か
僕ら笑い合いたいだけ

それは
ごめんねに込めた　ありがとうのよう
ありがとうに込めた　ごめんねのよう
連なった本当で　グラデーションになった
曖昧の中から　愛を見つけ出せたなら

裏腹な態度　拭えない後悔
そんなつもりなかった　じゃあ　どんなつもりだった
傷つけるとわかって　口にした言葉
そんなつもりなかった　じゃあ　どんなつもりだった

白黒　善悪　正解　不正解
極端な取捨選択だけじゃない

どれもこれも嘘ではなくて
誰も聖人君子じゃなくて
行き場を失くした憤りに
溺れそうになったとき

さあ　どうする　信念か　身勝手か
思いやりか　自己犠牲か
僕ら笑い合いたいだけ

どんな
歓びの理由も　苛立ちの理由も
手を差し出した理由も　積み重ねなんだろう
誤魔化したい　弱さを　誤魔化すためじゃなくて
格好をつけるなら　笑い合うために

それは
ごめんねに込めた　ありがとうのよう
ありがとうに込めた　ごめんねのよう
連なった本当で　グラデーションになった
曖昧の中から　愛を見つけ出せたなら
信じられたなら
きっと　きっと　きっと　きっと

I want to see your happy face
I want to help you, sometimes forgive you
It’s no use to raise your voice
If you will hurt me deeply, I want to endure it

These feelings are not a lie
But neither are they as simple as one word
When we are about to drown
In the anger of having lost our destination

Do we look for conviction or selfishness
Compassion or self-sacrifice
All we want is to laugh

That is
Like words of gratitude hidden in an apology
Like an apology hidden in words of gratitude
A gradation stemming from a series of truths
If we can find love out of ambiguity

A contradictory attitude, an unerasable regret
If you didn't mean to do that, what were you meaning to do then?
Words spoken, knowing that they would cause pain
If you didn't mean to do that, what were you meaning to do then?

Like black and white, good and evil, right and wrong
This is not just a choice between two extremes

There are no lies
There are no saints
When we are about to drown
In the anger of having lost our destination

So what do we choose, conviction or selfishness?
Compassion or self-sacrifice
All we want is to laugh

No matter
If it’s because of joy or frustration
We held out our hands because of many accumulated reasons
We want to hide it, but don’t want to hide our weaknesses
Let’s laugh together instead of trying to show off

That is
Like words of gratitude hidden in an apology
Like an apology hidden in words of gratitude
A gradation stemming from a series of truths
If we can find love out of ambiguity
If we could believe it
Then surely, surely, surely, surely
