ヨワネハキ [Yowanehaki] [English translation]

In the middle of a back road

An unfamiliar scenery and a smell I don't like

Are covering me

And will probably soak into me

I tend to get scared

And I don't even touch things that I don't know

I even waited for someone to come along

To do poison tasting for me

The things I do are simple

And I live life by the book

The coming days also went by dispassionately

Come to think of it, that reminds me

I was like this yesterday too

Come to think of it, that reminds me

I let out a weak sound

I'm a plain person

I'll stop taking a step ahead

'Cause I don't wanna get tangled up

The ideal I picture lacks realism

So I'll live without getting close

Tomorrow will go by the same way too

In the middle of a back alley

With half-closed eyes I looked at the usual setting sun

Deep inside myself I muttered

"How long will this continue for"

Come to think of it, that reminds me

I had this for dinner yesterday too

Come to think of it, that reminds me

I'm a timid, awkward1

Cowardly person

I'll move down a step and run away

'Cause I don't wanna stand out

The ideal I picture lacks realism

So I'll live without getting close

Tomorrow will go by the same way too

I let out a weak sound

I'm a plain person

I'll stop taking a step ahead

'Cause I don't wanna get tangled up

I'm constantly sighing

'Cause the air I breathe in isn't enough

I'm sure it's not going to end up that well

But let's try to live seriously just to see how it turns out
