Zi:Kill

Laugh it up

From the album "Desert Town"
笑ってごらんよ
Waratte goran yo
Laugh it up

Seems like I see right through everything, it all is getting to be too much.
Nanika nani made misukasarete, nanimo kamo ga iya ni natte iku
何か何まで見透かされて 何もかもが嫌になっていく

Please save me from this, there's a cloud hanging over me.
Konna boku no sugata o mitsukete, kage ni kakurete shimatte iru
こんな僕の姿を見付けて 影に隠れてしまっている

All these jerks keep changing, I don't get along with them at all.
Mawari no yatsu wa kawatte iku, sukkari boku to awanaku naru
周りの奴は変わっていく すっかり僕と合わなくなる

The night I first met you, change was in the air.
Hajimete anata ni atta yoru, nanika ga kawarou to shite ita
初めてあなたに会った夜 何かが変わろうとしていた


[chorus] Right in front of me, laugh it up
Boku no mae de waratte goran yo
僕の前で笑ってごらんよ

Chuckle at me, laugh it up
Sotto boku o waratte goran yo
そっと僕を笑ってごらんよ

Just like everyone else,
Minna ga boku ni shite iru mitai ni
みんなが僕にしているみたいに

Laugh at me, laugh it up
Boku no koto o waratte goran yo
僕の事を笑ってごらんよ


Standing in front of me, you are so pretty.
Boku no mae ni tatteru omae ga, totemo kirei
僕の前に立ってるお前が とても綺麗

But you deserted me, and left on a journey far away.
Dakedo kimi wa boku o okizari ni, dokoka tooku tabi ni dekaketa
だけど君は僕を置き去りに どこか遠く旅に出かけた

What can I believe in? Who is a friend?
Ittai nani ga shinjirareru, itta dare ga tomodachi nano
一体何が信じられる 一体誰が友達なの

Even if I call out for someone, no one's gonna come and help.
Koe o agete dareka o yondemo, daremo koko ni kite kureyashinai
声を上げて誰かを呼んでも 誰もここに来てくれやしない


Someone's always after me, even if you walk away,
Itsumo dareka ga boku o neratteru, toorisugitemo
いつも誰かが僕を狙ってる 通り過ぎても

Someone's always after me, just walk away!
Itsumo dareka ga boku o neratteru, toorisugite yuke
いつも誰かが僕を狙ってる 通り過ぎゆけ


How long have I been here, when will I finally die??
Itsu kara boku wa koko ni iru no ka, itsu ni nareba shinde shimau no ka
いつから僕はここにいるのか いつになれば死んでしまうのか

I haven't done anything right, but I haven't done anything wrong!
Ii koto nanka nanimo shite nai, dakedo warui koto mo shite inai
いいことなんか何もしてない だけど悪いこともしていない


What look should I have on my face? I bet these jerks would know!
Donna kao o sureba ii no darou, kitto mawari no yatsu wa shitteru
どんな顔をすればいいのだろう きっと周りの奴は知ってる

I won't look like myself, but I'll try this look on for size.
Boku ga boku jyanai mitai dakedo, konna kao o shite mimashou ka
僕が僕じゃないみたいだけど こんな顔をしてみましょうか

Even if they say I'm a disgrace, or scream 'dumb fuck' at me,
Nasakenai to hito ni iwaretemo, bakayarou to hito ni donararete
情けないと人に言われても バカヤローと人に怒鳴られて

The tears that swell in these eyes, it's just cuz it's all just too much.
Kono me ni namida o ukaberu no ga, kuyashikute tamaranai dake nano
この目に涙を浮かべるのが 悔しくてたまらないだけなの
