English Translation

I saw a girl riding their tricycle yesterday in the neighborhood
And I couldn't figure out if I was broken or dirty, I couldn't smile.
Am I simply more realistic than before or do I understand the beckoning darkness?
Caving in to the will of a nameless person, falling into the whirlpool of problematic society,
How do I make it to my 21st year without love?
Just keep washing dishes and clothes.

Isn't this okay? I feel a sense of being alive.
But those who are hated always disappear in time.

Had I never been born before?
I'm lying to the people I love.
I'm not doing too well anymore.
What happens to your consciousness when you die? Do you see the horizon? This world, hell?
The biggest challenge in this life. Nobody knows.
I don't know.

Ah, it's embarrassing! Let's just live our way!

Isn't this okay? I feel a sense of being alive.
I was a joke and disappeared with over time.

Even if my best friend gets married, I still feel nothing.
I want to remember my heart but I forget it every time.

Isn't it good? I still feel a sense of being alive!
The hated disappear over time! It's cruel in a way.
Isn't it good? I feel a sense of being alive!
I was a joke and disappeared over time! I'm free in a way.

However, it will always continue.
