Lyrics

"ongaku no kikkake wa nandakke.
chichi no motsu rekoodo datta kana.
oto wo kiku koto wa kimochi ga ii.
kiku dake nara doryoku mo iranai.

maeoki wa ii kara hanasou.
aru toki, omoitsuitan da.
kono uta ga boku no mono ni nareba, kono ana wa umaru darou ka.

dakara, boku wa nusunda"

aa, mada tarinai. zenbu tarinai.
nani hitotsu mo mitasarenai.
kono mama hitori jaa boku wa ikirarenai.
motto shiritai. ai wo shiritai.
kono kokoro wo mitasu kurai utsukushii mono wo shiritai.

"aru toki ni, machi wo nagareru uta ga boku no kyoku datte koto ni ki ga tsuita.
ureta nante atarimaesa.
meisaku wo nusunda mono dakara saa!

aitsu mo baka da. koitsu mo baka da.
homechigiru yatsura wa mina baka da.
muragaru ugou no shuu, hontou no kachi nante wakarazu ni.
maa, sore wa boku mo onaji ka"

aa, nanika ga tarinai.
kore dake nusunda no ni sukoshi mo mitasarenai.
uwatsura no kotoba hitotsu ja mitasarenai.

kono netami wo mitasu kurai utsukushii mono wo shiritai.

"ongaku no kikkake ga nanna no ka,

mada tarinai. motto shiritai.
kono karada wo tokasu kurai utsukushii yoru wo shiritai.

English Translation

"What was it that got me into music, again?
Was it the record player that my dad had?
Listening feels good. 
Just listening doesn't require any effort, after all.

A preface isn't needed, so I'll just get straight to the point–
One day, I thought:
Perhaps, this hole could be filled up if this song were to become mine.

And so, I stole"

Ah, it's still not enough. Nothing's enough.
I'm not satisfied at all.
I won't be able to live alone if this goes on.
I want to learn more. I want to learn of love
And of something so beautiful it'll sate my heart.

"One day, I realized that the song playing all over town was my own.
Well, no wonder it became popular.
I made it by stealing a masterpiece, after all!

That guy is an idiot. This guy is an idiot, too.
Everyone who showers them with praises is an idiot as well.
And the true value eludes the crowd, which flocks like crows.
Well, I guess I'm the same as them"

Ah, something's still missing.
I've stolen this much but I'm not satisfied in the slightest.
I can't be satisfied just with superficial words.
I want to learn of love. Just money isn't enough.
I want to learn of something so beautiful it'll sate my jealousy.

"What was it that got me into music?
I've forgotten already, but I remember that it wasn't greed.
It was something beautiful.

This mask I put on will come off one day.
And despite all, the night will come.
I'll be looking forward from the bottom of my heart to what I'll see then.

That's right.
I lost everything– status, love, it's all gone.
I think the night after everything's gone will be really beautiful,
It will be really, really beautiful,

And that's why I stole"

Ah, it's still not enough. I want to write more.
I won't be satisfied with this kind of song
Or the harsh words you lot spit out.
I want to write about a love I have yet to know
And to learn of something so beautiful it'll sate my heart.

It's still not enough. It's still not enough.
It's still not enough. It's still not enough.
It's still not enough. I'm not enough.
I don't know what's always been missing.
It's still not enough. I want to learn more.
I want to learn of a night so beautiful it'll melt my body away.
