Kagerou Days [English Adaptation Lyrics]

On the 15th of August that day
At 12:30 PM, I had felt that feeling stay by my side
The weather was still nice
It was mixed with light from the sun
And it told everyone that this strange phenomena had begun
I spoke to you at once, but we didn’t have a clue what it meant

“Well, you know that I hate all this heat”
That’s what you said to me as you idled by as this mood repeats
Then, as you chased after the stray cat, it started running into the busy street up ahead
And in that one frozen instant the light turned red

In a flash a truck had sped across the street
As it hit you, you fell down, knocked right off your feet
Your scent was cast in the air, blood was splattered everywhere
I was frozen in time there gasping without a sound
Feeling that feeling within a haze of lies
The Heat Haze distorted what had met my eyes
As chirping crickets called out, my mind was cast here in doubt
And the blue sky then turned to black and went away

When I woke up all I heard was silence
And the ticking of the clock that counts on with a sound
What time is it now?
On the 14th of August, that’s today
At some time past 12, I got up and went on my merry way
I recall the annoying sound of a cricket calling out

But as you know this set of events is so strange
I dreamt that we were walking in this park about now in this exact scene
“Hey, isn’t it time that we left?”
The second you stepped off the road to go cross the street
A solid object came down to a rest at my feet

From above came a heavy metal pole
That then pierced through your body with a bloody hole
The sound of windchimes weaving
The sound of your throat screaming
Filled up the air of that former-peaceful day that broke
In the unreal scene where silence seemed to ring
The shimmer of Heat Haze said “This is the real thing!”
As sight was blurred from my eyes
I looked to you in surprise
Why were you smiling as if this was all a joke?

All these times that my vision blackened out
All the heat would laugh at me as I would scream and shout
This recursion spans for decades now
I had realized how it was long ago somehow

In this story that is made up of cliché
I know that there is one outcome as the only way
Still beyond this summer date there must be another fate

In that instant I had pushed you to the side
And after a moment, the truck had hit me
The horror within your eyes, much like the pain of my tries
Reflected in the blood that sprayed out on the ground
If the laughing of that spiteful Heat Haze
Said “It serves you right” for surviving those days
Then you could say that this end was what should have then happened
But all of that now blurs to black and fades away

On the 14th of August right at dawn
This one girl got up and asked herself “What the hell is going on?
Nobody replied
“Well it seems that I have failed once more”
That’s all that she said as she cradled the cat right by the door

Mekakushi Code [English Adaptation Lyrics]

As this world of hope now vanishes
And as your heart becomes more heavy and burdened
You can’t “Import” all of your mistakes
And just restart again

The Ipod within my pocket here holds the “code” that we all choose to follow
I just put in my headphones again, and if I put up my hood then I am now ready to [go]-
“- for it now! The blindfolding is complete” And as expected, it’s impossible
The scenery now turns a little bit surreal and it glows red like all the eyes that we all know
What seems odd is even if we don’t pay attention to the Low-fi environment
A lifetime of anxiety can be found in tomorrow’s weather forecast

“Come on, don’t tell me you’re getting soft”
“If you rock to crazy beats things won’t be so bad”
Hey there’s no way you are tired yet
Laziness is just some passing fad

If you swallow your heart’s vanity
And trip the breaker that is second from the left
If your heart is blocked by what you want
You may find a grin that you can’t forget

What is “groovy” may infect your life
And you may find yourself in the lead of the pack
It’s not quite what I am used to here
But if you get by life unnoticed, then you cannot [take it back]-
“-, you probably shouldn’t have said that”
20 minutes pass, has it really gone so fast?
Retie your shoes, the laces have become loose
“Look, there’s the signal. Just keep your cool”

If your body temperature would rise
You may find you can skip the high-pass tries
To the left of the huge metroplex is a place you may find you can go
“Hey, hey, aren’t you finished up yet?” Is what that blond idol asks again
Unfortunately I can’t really say, so just wait a while and ask me then

We have plenty of positions here, and participation is welcome in the middle
You don’t need qualifications now and the uniform’s free
The self you had proclaimed as naïve can join with a password
And just so you know I am a neet/2D/Shut-in so if you have a problem
“- solving is fun in moderation”
But the alarms of that sensation stop

If all the lights unexpectedly go dark
Then take off your hood and let us embark

Against all our old expectations, today came along with the low-fi atmosphere
A lifetime of surprises await, so just reach for what comes as you gaze out here
“Come on, just admit it’s not so bad”
As you rub your red eyes and look at what we hold
What’s that? It wasn’t a waste of time
Now let’s follow the Blindfolded Code
As we follow the story told

Artificial Enemy [English Adaptation Lyrics]

When all of your dreams fade to dust
Why do you continue your daily life in such a rush?
It’s such a foolish farce you follow

When you say that all that you love
Is the non-reality of the world that you see on this screen
Accepting the truth can be hard to swallow

You talk to people who don’t have a face
But you claim that you still can connect with them with ease
But I think that if that’s true, you’d do as you please

But still that’s the way everything goes
That’s a fact that everybody now knows
Still you can pretend that you’re living a life
As if that can help you sleep at night

Everything is such a bore, isn’t that why you cloud your eyes?
Even if they’re not yet closed, don’t you ignore all of those lies?
Hey, if you keep ignoring reality in a state of delusion made by yourself
Why do you look so bored now, as you look at me living the life of somebody else?

I think that’s not the best action you could take
And we both know that this life is a mistake
To drown in darkness in every day
And the cause of that will not go away

And if you say that reality is a lie
And you don’t understand, what would you then do?
What would you say if I asked you to come join me
In this world made by man that isn’t true?

Is there any real point to a place
Where all you end up getting is “no” endlessly?
Just say no to everything else
And live your life only for me

Ah, isn’t it astounding and you will clap your hands now?
But all of your life’s lies have piled in the hallway outside
Hey, because you are trapped by the refuse that now blocks your door
Why are you now looking at me coldly, staring at me boldly?
What are you now living for?

I think that’s not the best action you could take
And we both know that this life is a mistake
To drown in darkness in every day
Is to isolate yourself in every way

And as you repeat this pointless day-to-day farce
In your room that lacks a guiding light
I find I begin to crumble away
And my appearance now disappears from sight

I guess in the end I don’t understand at all
I asked you and you had said to me
“You are only a toy for conversation so
You’re an artificial enemy”

Daze [English Adaptation Lyrics]

Concrete jungles hold their spread, but within lies the dreams of the common people, sleeping
Daily life just passes by. In a way, you won’t notice a thing
The future is an unknown, so who cares what is now held ahead in store?
But still you may become bored, so in time you may find you want more

If you ever find yourself lost without a clue here, come to me and we will go
It’s a secret now, so keep it quiet and don’t let others know
So starting from zero we can turn it up now, moving on as we slowly raise the heat
It’s now beginning, this burning feeling that will repeat

Let’s Play: without a thought or doubt in mind
Let’s Save: And see what we can someday find
Take my hand and we can run in sync
This one burning mood I won’t forget
Let’s Daze: In ways we don’t quite understand
Let’s Change: The power’s now within your hand
I will not regret, I will not forget
I am not alone on this new path that I now set

Sugao [English Adaptation Lyrics]

Words I say once again are the memories I now send
What I wished for, what’s held in store: both are now cast out to the sky
Onwards and outwards they fly

Both your smile and your tears are faces that I’ve seen
If I saw them right here, what would they both mean?

Words of pain come again. If you said them would they hurt then?
I will endure, shoulder these words and voice the feelings I send
So listen for them my friend

What I want is to see your smile and tears as one
Thank you for your friendship since our path begun

Both the joy and sorrow that’s held within your heart
Is what I’ll protect now. That’s the vow I made

I am not afraid

Kyoukai no Kanata [English Adaptation Lyrics]

Though my cheeks are dripping wet with my tears from my loneliness
I will still silently scan the sky to wait for the dawn
And if it calls to me to join them out there
I would go to chase that hope and find some day, find some way to move on

Even when I’m lost and scared, I will swear that I’ll journey on
My hands and my senses say different things as I speak my mind
I’ll catch up to you, hold on anew
The way to seek our hearts right here is the proof of that one dream I find

As we accept each other, I am drawn to you and I now realize
I don’t want sadness in my life anymore
The act of just accepting our flaws becomes the joy of living
We can surely realize it, what we’re living for

As this newborn love now grows with its wings made of tenderness
I don’t want to interrupt, but I still cannot let it be
So catch me again, face me once more
We both are fated to meet here and this love will someday soar freely

Caught in my pain I find I cannot explain the reasons I cry
I don’t want emptiness in my life from now on
The joy of life is torn apart now as my heart calls out to you again
Surely we will awaken with the coming dawn

Though my cheeks are dripping wet with my tears from my forlorn fate
I will continue to fight for your sake and for the dawn
As I now look to the sky for my answer
Hope is waiting beyond there and you will find a new way to move on

Your acceptance is something that I can’t explain, but somehow I find
That now your face is always here in my mind
I never want to be sad again as long as I remain your friend
I can fully enjoy life

Despite the pain, my heart calls to you once again and tells you my thoughts
I don’t want days of emptiness anymore
If pain is still a part of my life, then I have to ensure always that
I can always carry on so I can see the new dawn, what I’m searching for
My cheeks are wet with all of my tears I shed with joy


Even after I was lost, I still found a way to meet you

Confession Rival Declaration [English Adaptation Lyrics]

You are the reason I fell in love and the reason my gaze is stuck here
Diving in without any pause, I make my declaration of war for my love

“You look girly” is what others say, but I guess it’s true that I’m that way
I can’t help how I look and act, and I don’t know what it is I lack
I can’t speak all that well sometimes, and it makes speaking an act of fear
So it seems I’m a weak type A who is all too good at hiding here

From that time when you called my name, I felt I couldn’t be the same
Though my answer’s never been said, I still know I’m interested

I was love-struck in a flash, I had blinked for an instant but that feeling wouldn’t pass
It seemed too good to be true. There’s no way that I ever could find a way to be with you
I’m not built to be a knight-in-shining armor quite yet
A person you can trust in always. Instead
I’ll send it with all my might: “Let’s Go!”
My honest declaration I must show

For a change I had made my way to a barber to change my hairstyle
I made do without my glasses which I haven’t done in quite a while
“For once you actually look like a guy” is what people said to me that day
It was weird to be told that then, but I guess in the end that’s okay

Even then, my chances still looked slim. My outlook was still pretty grim
I would take any chance somehow. I’d even pray to heaven now

You are the reason I fell in love and the reason my gaze is stuck here
Diving in without any clue, I found that I had nothing planned as a way to get to you
I feel that surely we think the same thing when somebody asks who we favor once again
Hey isn’t there a contradiction there? I feel that feelings of love don’t really care

This knight comes to watch over your face since it has changed since I saw it then
It seems I am not needed now. “Congratulations to your first love again”

I was love-struck in a flash, I had blinked for an instant but that feeling wouldn’t pass
It seemed too good to be true. There’s no way that I ever could find a way to be with you
For that taste of passion, I have to say to you “Thank you”
Both to you and to the person that you like
I’ll send it with all my might “Let’s Go!”

I yell here my declaration as you knight

Luvoratorrrrry! [English Adaptation Lyrics]

From the programming flow, made of both yes and no
“I like you is a joke", you are seriously slow
Ratchets? Or bolts?  They’re just worthless
My gaze upon your face is a challenge for a war
My heart races here and now, you should know that fact somehow
I will charm you here with ease and do whatever I please
Your face makes me sick, so listen to this verse KICK!
Hey, come and give me a kiss!

With these lips of mine, I form all my lies
Show me your deceit within the doubt seen in your eyes
I will not accept anyone but you now
Won’t you let me be selfish and vain somehow?

Love is a hard sport, filled with veterans
Lies to show off, plans to blow off till you fall down
You are now giving me a look that I can now see
Filled with trouble- hey are you listening?

But in truth I’m not bothered by it, not a bit
And you’re now one more step too far, out of my striking range
I can’t talk to you, I can’t say a thing
I’ll show my angry face is a little bit too strange

Rely on my lies a little more
Raise my desire in this little war
[Love me, love me, love me do!]
[Give me, give me, give me you!]
Trouble may bother me even more
I want you who I adore
[Love me, love me, love me do!]
[Give me, give me, give me you!]

[Love me baby, baby]
[I am ready, ready]
Please proceed at full speed until I find I can’t breathe
[Beasty Gimmick Gimmick]
[Lock out Ginni Gimmick]
I just wanna be destroyed as I am right now

[Love me baby, baby]
[I am ready, ready]
Take that unsaid request and make me say it here out loud
[Beasty Gimmick Gimmick]
[Lock out Ginni Gimmick]
I just wanna be destroyed as I am right now

Listen to my voice now even more
And lead me astray with a word, baby
If that behavior’s programmed, then it’s no use
You know I’d accept your love if I could choose
You know that I act tough with all I do
But you realized it, my darling?
A change of state has started and
I don’t know what I want from you anymore
[Love me baby, baby]
[I am ready, ready]
Please proceed at full speed until I find I can’t breathe
[Beasty Gimmick Gimmick]
[Lock out Ginni Gimmick]
I just wanna be destroyed as I am right now

[Love me baby, baby]
[I am ready, ready]
Take that unsaid request and make me say it here out loud
[Beasty Gimmick Gimmick]
[Lock out Ginni Gimmick]
I just wanna be destroyed as I am right now
