Alone all of a sudden, wanting to be asleep again, in the freezer is
the key I hid In the gap between dreams, a murder of reality, struggling against absurd leg cuffs ...it’s two in the morning Sherbets’ logo is melting, the yellow car’s name is “Hitler” Fiercely resisting the end of night, just like Shinagawa Pier ...it’s five in the morning At this rate, sinking into the ocean wouldn’t be my only disgrace Just so long as you understand I just want to know you’ve heard what I said – I think I’m sick Because of the Koushuu Highway, the traffic’s gotten so bad that I watched the morning sunrise I was awoken by a new day, insistent contradictions puzzling me ...just before No matter how completely removed from youth I get, I can’t keep from lining up the smiling faces of cut-off clouds Having known loneliness, I just want to know you’ve heard what I said And the very instant your eyes showed that you had was the first time I heard the sounds of life The velvet sea, too – it can’t be helped, it’s inevitable – what should I do Messing things up is what I do now – isn’t it beautiful? No – I scorn a pretty flower in the process of withering to ugliness ...one of these days |
Translator's notes: In the line The yellow car's name is " ", the word that you can see if you highlight the text is "Hitler." But Emi (Ringo's record label) censored it, both in the song and in the written lyrics, because Japan still likes to deny its involvement with WWII and apparently even the word Hitler screams "Japan and Germany were allies!" Whatever, Japan... Also, I don't think Ringo was using those leg cuffs for self-defense, if you know what I mean. And Sherbets is one of Asai "Benzie" Kenichi's bands, who if we all remember is one of Ringo's musical idols and possible ex-boyfriend.
