Drippy Dance

[nebulancer]

English translation:

 

The time before dawn drags on longer, pushing the morning further away

I haven’t solved a single issue from yesterday

I can’t keep letting myself be a pampered, spoiled child

Who relies on someone else’s protection forever

 

I don’t want to be trapped by my past or my future

I ask a question to my current body:

You’re the one who tormented me with these absurdities

But you can’t put a single second of it to waste, right?

 

I struggle with all my body has and I still can’t reach it, but

A certain someone’s asked that lash to strike him more and more

Placing myself under the cover of silence, this passion of mine I’d hidden

Might someday bare its fangs at me, won’t it?

Well, yeah, I know that

 

This drippy dance

Won’t let me sleep

I gather my breath, and right after

I shout, calling out, without an end in sight

Just like the pouring rain,

This see-saw game’s going on and on

 

Even though I know my limits,

I’ll have lost once I acknowledge them

I won’t let myself be someone else’s baggage anymore

 

I’m not still suspended in the course of my path

It’s just that I’ve suddenly dived down and gotten lost

Because this admiration, so bright and dazzling to me

Snatched up my immature heart

 

Even if I’m incomplete, I’ll go as far as I can

Forget life being hard and easy or whatever it is

I want to do it, laying out my defective senses bare as can be

How far will I be able to go on this excessive assault?

Don’t have the time to be scared stiff

 

da ta la...

 

And what’s the reality of it all? Looks like I’m not imagining things

I’ve easily gone way longer than I’d assumed

I couldn’t affirm it, so I’ll put a vague conclusion that I’ve moved on

Not even this dripping rain can chill my body

 

I struggle with all my body has and I still can’t reach it, but

A certain someone’s asked that lash to strike him more and more

Placing myself under the cover of silence, this passion of mine I’d hidden

Might someday bare its fangs at me, but still

 

Even if I’m incomplete, I’ll go as far as I can

Forget life being hard and easy or whatever it is

I want to do it, laying out my defective senses bare as can be

But honestly, who cares about that stuff

I’ll accept this drippy dance with all my body has

 

crank it up in crazy time

I’m just a phone call away

Kanji:

 

夜明け前は長引いて　朝を遠ざける

昨日の課題は何一つ解けない

自分以外の誰かのガードに頼って

いつまでも　甘えん坊じゃイケないな

 

過去や未来に囚われたくはない

今のカラダに問いかける

無茶が祟ったお前だけど

一秒さえ無駄にはできないだろう？

 

全身で藻がいたって　まだ届かないが

もっともっと鞭打った奴がいるから

静寂を被って　秘めたこの熱が

いつか自分に牙を剥くとか

そんなの分かってるんだ

 

眠らせない

息を継ぎ　その次

呼び出すコールは止まない

降りしきる雨のよう

シーソーゲームは続く

 

限界を知っていても

自覚したら負けなんだ

誰かの荷物には　もうなれないや

 

道半ばに浮かんだままじゃない

くるりって潜って　迷っただけ

眩いほどの憧れに

幼かったココロ　奪われたから

 

完全じゃなくたって　イケる所まで

人生hardとかeasyとか　忘れて

壊れた感覚　剥き出しでやりたい

いつまで過剰に攻め切れるか？

怖がってる暇はない

 

da ta la...

 

実際はどうなんだ？妄想じゃないようだ

想定よりは全然動けたな

肯定できなかった　曖昧にケリをつける

滴る雨にも　冷めないカラダ

 

全身で藻がいたって　まだ届かないが

もっともっと鞭打った奴がいるから

静寂を被って　秘めたこの熱が

いつか自分に牙を剥いても

 

完全じゃなくたって　イケる所まで

人生hardとかeasyとか　忘れて

壊れた感覚　剥き出しでやりたい

いつまで過剰に攻め切れるか？

そんなのどうでもいいや

全身で受ける drippy dance
