Translated Lyrics (kiwi-musume.com)
The reason this feeling is bugging me and I want to get it off my chest
Is because I have no other proof of my existence
I thought I’d got a hold on my future
But “dignity” and “freedom” are contradicting each other
The reason I want to erase this distorted afterimage
Is because in it I can see my limitations
I’m too self-conscious
Last year’s calendar in my window has no dates
Erase it and rewrite it
This huge, ridiculous fantasy
Don’t forget what it feels like to be alive
Rewrite it in the nick of time
Even the meaningless paranoia
Devote everything you have
To your driving force
Crying as I kill the feelings that had begun to grow
Crying as I realize that I’m only ordinary after all
Crying for my corrupted heart, for my dirty lies
Erase it and rewrite it
This huge, ridiculous fantasy
Don’t forget what it feels like to be alive
Rewrite it in the nick of time
Even the meaningless paranoia
Devote everything you have
To your driving force
