Fade Out
from "Meshi kuu na!"
Got nothing but unclear desire,
Unneeded unclear desire
You�re always nailed to the tv
Even tired out, can�t stop
Your body fades out.
It�s going to fade away.
Is today the continuation of yesterday,
And tomorrow the continuation of today?
Every day so busy with stupid shit
The dust of fatigue gathers on your shoulders
You know it�s not good but
Your migraine is always at max volume
To do something about the irritation
You�ve gotta pass away into tranquility.
暖昧(あいまい)な欲望しか持てず
暖昧な欲望をもて余し
いつもおまえはテレピに釘づけ
疲れ果てても止められない
おまえの体はフェイドアウト
消え入り果てて行く
今日は昨日の続きで
明日は今日の続きか
毎日どうでもいいことで忙しく
疲労のホコリが肩につもる
それが良くないのは分っているが
頭痛のポリュームはいつも最大
苛立ちを何とかするには
穏やかに死んでいくしかない
