Lyrics

subarashiki sekai ni kyou mo kanpai

English Translation

Cheers to the wonderful world today as well.
Even the sounds of laughter that flies through the streets
That I just pretend not to see, are fake.
I'm about to go mad.
The depths of my nose, stung by a smell so good to the extent it makes me dizzy.
I wake up, as I do on instinct,
Whose turn is it today?

What can I do in this world?
What is it that I, can do?
Just so that tears don't flow down from those pitch black eyes.

I will continue to bite, time and time again, at the future I wish for,
Because in this world full of mistakes,
I want you to smile.
I won't hurt anyone anymore.
I just want to be stronger and stronger,
So that I can stay as myself.

The wonderful world is peaceful today as well.
To the bad news that’s going around the streets,
I averted my eyes, pretending I don’t know, I don’t know.
It sure is mad.
The march that dressed itself up seriously,
The destination of the footsteps that sound,
Stained with a taste that doesn’t and won't disappear,
Is the wortd on the other side.

To live purely and righteously,
To live without upsetting anyone,
To live an honest life without straying off,
Is that living without making mistakes?

Is it right to live as I am?
Is it right to live using every trick in the book?
Just what am I meant to be?
Just who am I really?
Tell me!
Tell me!

Today as well,
In a world with no answers,
I'm wishing you know.
Even though I’m clumsy,
I just want to laugh with you forever.
Your jumping heart shouts by shaking your body you know.
Precisely now, let's get moving.

I will continue to devour my weak self again and again.
Because in this world full of mistakes,
I want you to smile.
Let’s make sure no one cries again.
I just want to be stronger and stronger,
So that I can stay as myself.

I will simply protect you, for that,
I'll keep running, running and running you know.
Exceeding my inner self.
