Scuffed Up Age

(专辑： UnAlive - 2022)

[Romanized:]

Lost in thoughts of frosted frame of mind
Honest to God, it's just not our time
Promises flawed by cosmic design
Kore kurai dō tte koto nai
Demo namida no ato wa kesenai
Coming of age, the stage doesn't light up
Just right away, they told us it might've
Yume wa mō akiramemasu

This cynical mind says "why'd you try?"
Why not give up and play the bad guy?
Wakatteru sa
Unmei ga namidatenagara anata nomou to suru nonara
Kuzureochi-sōna karada dakishimeru kara

We choose to know
The struggles of this scuffed up age we're living in
Kusatta kuzu no hibidakedo
Kono yoake could seem a lot like "not your day"
Soredemo anata o sutete shimawanaide
Can't find a reason to stay
Some busted world led astray
Once trusted, left to decay
We choose to go on anyway

Lost in thoughts of always changing pace
Allies and friends hiding more than one face
Not really surprising, why are you compromising?
The sun is rising, a new horizon
With friendships lacking lies and
The knives in your back, so what are you prioritizing?
You aren't sick of crying? See, I don't buy it
But here we are, hanging on, fighting strong despite it
"Hakanai" ja arawashi kirenai
Mō me o tojite shimaitai kurai no sekai

This cynical mind says "why'd you try?"
"Why not give up and play the bad guy?"
Wakaranai nda
Hokori nure no machi de anata no tameiki no kage
Watashi no kasukana hi de terashitai dake

We choose to know
The struggles of this scuffed up age we're giving in
Dosha ni yogorete Be real, it hurts to grow
Believing in a world of hate is overrated
Mā demo anata wa utsukushī nodakara
Must be something surreal
An endless dream we can't heal
This rusted world wound up real
Still wanna love the way it feels

Late nights, the city feels dead, sure, but like...
The lights and sights and sounds are treasures
Kon'na sekai ni aragatte aruku chikara nante
Watashiniha naikedo

Face up, this world can't kill that inner spark
Why don't we turn this scuffed up page we're writing in
Kon'na sekai ja Be real, I think we know
Kono yoake is rarely fair, decide your fate
It's your life anata o sutete shimawanaide
Tomorrow's a brand new day
Like all those optimists say
But the truth is rather ruthless, it might be rain
The question is, will you bear that pain?
What's your reason to stay?
This shining world led astray
Won't leave it all to decay
I choose to love it anyway

We choose to know
The struggles of this scuffed up age we live in
So, don't give in

[Japanese:]

Lost in thoughts of frosted frame of mind
Honest to God, it's just not our time
Promises flawed by cosmic design
これくらいどうってことない
でも涙の跡は消せない
Coming of age, the stage doesn't light up
Just right away, they told us it might've
夢はもう諦めます

This cynical mind says "why'd you try?"
Why not give up and play the bad guy?
分かってるさ
運命が波立てながら 貴方 呑もうとするのなら
崩れ落ちそうな身体 抱きしめるから

We choose to know
The struggles of this scuffed up age we're living in
腐ったクズの日々だけど
この夜明け could seem a lot like "not your day"
それでも貴方を捨ててしまわないで
Can't find a reason to stay
Some busted world led astray
Once trusted, left to decay
We choose to go on anyway

Lost in thoughts of always changing pace
Allies and friends hiding more than one face
Not really surprising, why are you compromising?
The sun is rising, a new horizon
With friendships lacking lies and
The knives in your back, so what are you prioritizing?
You aren't sick of crying? See, I don't buy it
But here we are, hanging on, fighting strong despite it
"儚い"じゃ 表しきれない
もう目を閉じてしまいたいくらいの世界

This cynical mind says "why'd you try?"
"Why not give up and play the bad guy?"
分からないんだ
埃塗れの街で 貴方のため息の影
私の微かな火で 照らしたいだけ

We choose to know
The struggles of this scuffed up age we're giving in
土砂に汚れて Be real, it hurts to grow
Believing in a world of hate is overrated
まあ でも 貴方は美しいのだから
Must be something surreal
An endless dream we can't heal
This rusted world wound up real
Still wanna love the way it feels

Late nights, the city feels dead, sure, but like...
The lights and sights and sounds are treasures
こんな世界に抗って歩く力なんて
私にはないけど

Face up, this world can't kill that inner spark
Why don't we turn this scuffed up page we're writing in
こんな世界じゃ Be real, I think we know
この夜明け is rarely fair, decide your fate
It's your life 貴方を捨ててしまわないで
Tomorrow's a brand new day
Like all those optimists say
But the truth is rather ruthless, it might be rain
The question is, will you bear that pain?
What's your reason to stay?
This shining world led astray
Won't leave it all to decay
I choose to love it anyway

We choose to know
The struggles of this scuffed up age we live in
So, don't give in
