Takano Akira — In The Shade (Translation by shoceted)

 I want a shadow, a scary place

Take more of me to the dark side

 

Not just now, but since we met,

I had been suspicious of your mind

The light you drowned my weaknesses in

Is too dazzling, no matter how hard I try to get around it

A beauty who wants to shine her light in every direction

Who is that confidence for? I'm apprehensive towards you

My trauma is reflected in my eyes — don't look at me

I desperately refused your false invitation

 

I'm blind — I can't see the murky sky

I feel you behind me — leave me alone

In the shade, in the shade, incompatible nerves

In the shade, this life shrouded in secrets

This camouflaged body, my thought process's break and sleep

It's all because of you

 

Every day, I'm beside you without any bad intentions

Every night, I killed my emotions a long time ago

The secret you won't tell me, the reality you're running from, your nihilistic mouth

All you do is talk about ideals and get along with your friends

And then you're at another party — the topic goes into the vortex

I notice thing that bothers me, and then I notice another

Hey, upside-down lyrical "Nice guy"

 

The pain of my twisted brain grinds

I feel you behind me — leave me alone

In the shade, in the shade, incompatible nerves

In the shade, this lonely, shrouded life

This camouflaged body, my thought process's break and sleep

It's all because of you

 

I'm not supposed to live

In your world of false light and evil

 

You, and all of this — it's so unbelievable

 

Time took away my beloved dog

That's when I met you

A frightened sniper

The page with the proposed location that we drew together has been shaded in

No mouth*, it's shameful to do what I'm told; I'll stubbornly stick to my own beliefs

My dull darling, casual ignition, reading the anger of the shadows

The lining cheats with the overwrite (your lie?)

A disease of doubt and anxiety, I wanna leave

Farewell...

 

 

 

 

*Cool bit of wordplay here: this is pronounced the same way as クチナシ, the Japanese word for gardenia flowers. In Japanese flower language, gardenia flowers symbolize secret love; I think?? The character in this song is the other woman and found that out. The dude was cheating regardless. Anyway fascinating song here Takano Akira. Who hurt you.

Takano Akira — Pull The Trigger (Translation by shoceted)

 Take off that watch that strikes at midnight

(making out, making out, where do you want me?)

Let's show off everything tonight

 

A love in a minor key is boring

Baby, we're kissing with good give and take

Your dress can't hide your true nature

I'll peel it off, piece by piece

 

We can't stop, we're accomplices — no turning back as we fall

Throw away your shame and follow me

 

Ecstasy running through our bodies

I can't control this ache

Can I cast this? A magic that won't melt

Close your eyes for me

 

I pull the trigger to scorch you

To plant love and let it bloom

In the instant we're mixed together hotly and drown

So that you won't leave again

 

Tonight you are mine, babe

 

Do you wanna try this? Where do you want it?

(bang bang)

Pour the champagne and the emptiness vanishes, I love it

 

Ah, it's super crazy, but not enough

Maybe it's synthesia — or I'm tripping

I can't miss your overflowing reactions

Let's be obedient to our instincts and fall

 

You quietly

Let out, "Stay with me"

I drop to your neck to answer

Can I trust you? Crushing each other

We'll confirm the answer all night

 

I pull the trigger, deeply

As if I'm piercing you with love

If we get tangled tightly and go to our limits

I don't need tomorrow

 

With you asleep in my arms

As the window turns white,

You're a dirty girl; your existence is magic

I want to explode with your sweetness

 

I pull the trigger to scorch you

To plant love and let it bloom

In the instant we're mixed together hotly and drown

So that you won't leave again

 

With these strong and unstoppable feelings,

I love you, baby — I won't let you get away

 

Tonight you are mine, babe

 

most embarrassing thing i have ever translated. wow.
