innocent arrogance

Lyrics: Matsukuma Kenta x JxSxK
Composition: Matsukuma Kenta

English

Are you ready? (1)
I’m ready
Look, just the things that you can see
A heart that doesn’t understand
Are you ready?
One more time
If we can’t choose our future, then what can we choose?

The emotions
And the delusions, too
They don’t make sense anymore
The crumbling city smirks

Nothing is certain
Even though there’s no way to understand
I still want to be certain

Because I won’t show
The things I don’t want to show
I can’t find even the most important things
I can’t stay pure, right?
Let’s, let’s move on

How many times already?
One more time
After struggling for so long, can we choose now?

The judgment
And the conflict, too
They don’t make sense anymore
The crumbling city smirks

Even though something tangible
Is not always the right answer
I still want to be certain

Because I won’t show
The things I don’t want to show
I can’t find even the most important things
I can’t stay pure, right?
Let’s, let’s move on

Nothing is certain
Even though there’s no way to understand
I still want to be certain

Because I won’t show
The things I don’t want to show
I can’t find even the most important things
I can’t stay pure, right
Let’s, let’s move on

Translator Notes

( 1)Mou iikai?” is the phrase one calls out when done counting in a game of hide and seek; Mou ii yo is what the hiding players reply when they are ready. Since this is BiSH’s final song, this could be a callback to second generation BiS’s final song Are you ready? which includes the lines “Are you ready? Don’t say ‘not yet’” , which was also an anime tie-up song. Click here to experience the emotional terrorism!

Japanese

もういいかい
もういいよ
見えてるものだけじゃほら
理解できない心を
もういいかい
もう一回
選べない未来ならば僕らが選ぶはなんだ?

感情も
妄想も
もはや意味をなさないな
崩れた街がにやつく

確かなものなんてない
わかるはずがないのに
それでも確かめたいのだから

見せたくないものばかりを
見せないから
大事なものさえも見つからない
綺麗なままでいることはできないじゃない
僕らは
僕らは
進もう

もう何回?
もう一回
もがき続けてきた今僕らは選べるだろうか

判断も
葛藤も
もはや意味をなさないな
崩れた街がにやつく

形あるものだけが
正解ではないのに
それでも確かめたいのならば

見せたくないものばかりを
見せないから
大事なものさえも見つからない
綺麗なままでいることはできないじゃない
僕らは
僕らは
進もう

確かなものなんてない
わかるはずがないのに
それでも確かめたいのだから

見せたくないものばかりを
見せないから
大事なものさえも見つからない
綺麗なままでいることはできないじゃない
僕らは
僕らは
進もう
