BAND-MAID – start over

Lyrics: Miku Kobato

Song: BAND-MAID

Translation: Kafka

I knew that these distant beliefs were just a pretense

Even though, our excuses and own dreams

They turned into contradictions

Feelings are intersecting each other

In the boundaries between “Love” and “Hate”

Soon it’ll become fragmented before we know it

Oh, so go on and pursue it

It is very simple

It’s inevitable

To yearn for love

Mementos are engraved into our afflicted wounds

Our feelings will remain unchanged no matter what

In the tedious tomorrows to come, too

Worlds suddenly change like a comedic show

Indicating it had enough of it

Time to repaint our thoughts

Our hands reaching out once again

Until the end of days

Things won’t always remain beautiful

Love can also be transient and unsightly

Whether you like it or not

It’s inevitable

To yearn for love

Our future is what’s in our afflicted wounds

The both of us will remain unchanged no matter what

We pile up then get relieved

oh yeah

See, emotions don’t need to be defined

Just things like ghosts

Dancing in the air, but bad times will still befall

Listen and talk talk

We can repair it as many times we want

This imperfect relationship keeps repeating itself

Can’t stand and understand each other anymore

It goes on and on forever

Even after years pass, this memory would make us laugh

Ah, it’s inevitable

To yearn for love

Mementos are engraved into our afflicted wounds

Our feelings will remain unchanged no matter what

Bringing up this peace sign

I don’t give a fuck

Be born again

Kanji:

遠く 信じた虚像 わかってたってさ

even though 言い訳も 互いの夢も

矛盾に染めた

交差する表裏の感情

「好き」と「嫌い」の境界線

いつの間に欠けてく何かを

oh 追いかけて

It is very simple.

ああ どうしようもなく

焦がれる愛を

ぶつかり合う傷も 刻んでく証に

どうなっても 変わらない想いに

うんざりな 明日も

急に 変わる世界 喜劇のようでさ

もういいって

思考を塗り変えては

また その手伸ばす

流れる 月日の最果て

決して美しくないモノ

儚さ醜さも愛でしょ？

嫌になっても

We will start over fresh.

もう どうしようもなく

焦がれる愛を

ぶつかり合う傷も これからの未来に

どうなっても 変わらない 2人で

重なって 軋んでく

oh yeah

そう 定義なんてない感情

化け物のよう

宙を舞って降りかかる日も あるけど

Listen and talk talk

何度も結び直すよ

巡り巡る 不完全な関係を

我慢できない 理解も受け止めて

いつまでも いつまでも ずっと

何年経っても 思い返し笑おう

ああ どうしようもなく

焦がれる愛を

ぶつかり合う傷も 刻んでく証に

どうなっても 変わらない想いに

掲げた ピースサイン

I don’t give a fuck.

Be born again.
