I'm making music.

A blog where I post all my translyrics for the Kenshi Yonezu songs featured in Diorama, YANKEE, Bremen, and all the singles. Everything is written by me, and you can find my personal in the link below.

Jade Wolf

While chewing up your loneliness and your isolation, to the bubbling thoughts that keep appearing, you kindly lend an ear Although you keep on shedding tears inside the howling storm, although it's a struggle, you keep going, trudging through the mire

The wolf with fur as green as jade lets out a heavy sigh, not realizing just how much beauty he possesses He sighs a second time when faced with a cliff reaching high, but wouldn’t it be much easier if you'd just ask for help?

Hopefully, a new best friend should come along here, very soon While I dreamt and fantasized, I kept on whistling a tune...

I've not at all made up my mind, about how far I want to go The only thing I want right now is meeting up with you I didn't realize at first, but now I see how far I've come How far ahead are the places I want to visit too?

Make sure to keep the landmarks engraved in your heart from clouding, or at least until the apple blossoms grow and bloom in springtime Though burdened by futility and many confusing things, although burdened by the snowstorm, you still keep on going

The wolf with fur as green as jade, although he is so cruel, takes his anger out on himself, while singing many songs; Even if no-one knows of it, don't give up your battle; so as long as you still have it in your heart to love yourself

I wonder every day; what are irreplaceable things? While tap-tapping my heels, I know my waiting is all in vain...

Through hardships and through memories that always seem to stick around I spend my days anxiously waiting for the end to show Until, to you, who in this world is the most beautiful of all- Until the day where I can tell you that I love you so

I've not at all made up my mind, about how far I want to go The only thing I want right now is meeting up with you I didn't realize at first, but now I see how far I've come How far ahead are the places I want to visit too?

Through hardships and through memories that always seem to stick around I spend my days anxiously waiting for the end to show Until, to you, who in this world is the most beautiful of all- Until the day where I can tell you that I love you so

Lullabye Goodbye

All the pain and loneliness in the world, you didn't think I'd give it all to you? While on my way back to my home, in waste, I laughed out loud Although it was not an art festival I went to

Those things you call your real thoughts, all those things are shady On the furry ears of a most grateful donkey Full of splinters, that is just how it's supposed to be Go ahead, have a go at this delicious feast

It's a real pain in the ass; quit all of your griping It's live or die, one or another, isn't that right? No matter how you look at it, beneath a human's skin; there, we keep our skull and raise it

So long, the distant twenty-second century, basketball, angels, and sober monkeys Who'll forget in my stead? Who on earth, indeed... Lulla-bye, wake me in a millenary...

All the pain and loneliness in the world, you didn't think I'd give it all to you? While on my way back to my home, in waste, I laughed out loud Although it was not an art festival I went to

Although life is valuable, money is just that, as well Working adults only eat with their right brain Twilight mixed together with a glance I couldn't help Still, the collar of my shirt is frayed

Though you flaunt your hearts around, deep inside they’re hollowed out Where do all you idiots back off and flee to? Those, whose shadows are all anybody cares about; from the bottom of my heart, I love you...

To a great-grandfather, blind by methyl's fault To the hobo, drawing a picture of a boat So long, the distant twenty-second century, Lulla-bye, this lifetime is history

All the pain and loneliness in the world, you didn't think I'd give it all to you? While on my way back to my home, in waste, I laughed out loud Although it was not an art festival I went to

The Sea and the Salamander

Please, say no more; it's all that I ask for Counting the dew on the grass by my front door Drawn by the sun, my shadow engulfs me, as I recall you ever so clearly

Sunflowers we had planted together, back then, they wilt away, and start to grow again Under the sun, shining bright with power, I, on my own, looked back on the summer

They still come to me, the undying memories If I'd just let them vanish then what'd become of me?

All the hurt and the grief that you carry, and the agony haunting your body, Let it leak out and flow down like rain, until the very last drop's gone away Like a flame that the fish are all drawn to, you inhabit the sea; morning, night, noon I'll keep praying for that little spark; may you find light when you're all in the dark...

Please, say no more; it's all that I ask for So I can be the one I was before If you would ever lose the memories you made of me, I wonder on; how lonely that would be

Inside a cave, in the shadows I'm hiding, I can't comprehend how much you were suffering Outside in the storm, I know I will falter, cause I'm a dunce of a salamander

This, my voice, I'll make sure it won't scatter And the song that I sing, that it won't blur May they get caught and drift on the air please let them reach you, wherever you are You never left any sign of a goodbye, never left any note for me to go by Left me behind, not even saying a word Yet, I still pray in the hope you'll return

From afar, in the dry and clear blue weather is a light, burning brightly, and with heart And, like you, or at least like I remember, it speaks continuously, and sincerely at that

From afar, in the dry and clear blue weather is a light, burning brightly, and with heart And, like you, or at least like I remember, it speaks continuously, and sincerely at that

They still come to me, the undying memories Oh, I'd never let them vanish and get away from me

All the hurt and the grief that you carry, and the agony haunting your body, Let it leak out and flow down like rain, until the very last drop's gone away Like a flame that the fish are all drawn to, you inhabit the sea; morning, night, noon I'll keep praying for that little spark; may you find light when you're all in the dark...

From afar, in the dry and clear blue weather is a light, burning brightly, and with heart And, like you, or at least like I remember, it speaks continuously, and sincerely at that

From afar, in the dry and clear blue weather is a light, burning brightly, and with heart And, like you, or at least like I remember, it speaks continuously, and sincerely at that

From afar, in the dry and clear blue weather is a light, burning brightly, and with heart And, like you, or at least like I remember, it speaks continuously, and sincerely at that

From afar, in the dry and clear blue weather is a light, burning brightly, and with heart And, like you, or at least like I remember, it speaks continuously, and sincerely at that

Go Go Ghost Ship

Feeling sickly at seventeen, I’m drawing art, writing words, with dry ink and a pen Patch it, sew it, you’re a mother goose The night cries out, endlessly, but I’ll see you again

I’m an android, with spinning springs My voice and head do exist, but they’re hollow both Every day I keep feeling worse, so is it wrong that I wish for you to give me love?

Leaving sickly at seventeen, putting today in a can, not a cloud in sight Detonator, and a paper bag I’m just a fool, taking risks packing my breath inside

Thing’s don’t change, to the android you hide yourself using lies, but sticking to a truth I’m a ghost, ain’t denying it, so is it wrong if I doubt I’m visible to you?

Singing all day, about this and that, with that, our ghost ship soars ahead Soon enough we ain’t speaking of “good” or “bad” Off to the quiet town, we set

B-B-B-Be something, the news on the displayer Marching endlessly, find the words and get ‘em out there Tear down all the doors along the railway, even if I’m gone - you must believe in me!

Boy soldiers, go on and use your voices Hide away the most miniscule and clever exits “This good luck charm will make sure you’re blessed”, but it’s so laughable; a ridiculous mess

“It’s so laughable; a ridiculous mess!”

Feeling sickly at seventeen, it’s like today is a movie; stuck inside a trance There’s no love, nowhere to be seen, and you may dream all you want, but this is no pretend

I’m an android, with spinning springs It’s all just garbage, delinquents, trouble, melancholy I want you to know all of that, so is it wrong if I take your hand, and back with me?

Singing all day, about this and that, on the look-out, we soar ahead Soon enough we ain’t speaking of “back” or “forth” So, let us just all forget…

Wah! Wah! Wah! Wah!

M-M-M-Move forward, we’re heading to the center On the count of three, you plunge in, and you save yourself Tear down all the doors along the railway, 'tis the cold, hard, truth - come on, believe in me!

Shout louder, until your voice grows hoarser Come, what do you see? The crowd is getting larger “This good luck charm will make sure you’re blessed”, but I suppose I’ll just enjoy it while it lasts

“I suppose I’ll just enjoy it while it lasts…”

L-L-L-Let go of the grudges you were holding With a megaphone, the crowd’s rapidly growing Tear down all the doors along the railway, this is how it is - so, please, believe in me!

This ghost ship is scattering its hatred, this time it’s escalated into a riot, “This good luck charm will make sure you’re blessed”, but all this time the truth’s been truly distorted

“All this time the truth’s been truly distorted…”

Headless Cuckoo

“May, may, may, may I have this dance from you?” Our legs tangled when I said that I would love to The noise resounded, loud and clearly; inside the house of agate blocks, I felt so free

There was a hole inside the bannister where a blue light emitted, so sinister Our hearts are filled with many regrets, as well as other things that nobody forgets

Hey, hey, stranger, where’s your head supposed to be? Where’s your head supposed to be? What about your eyes and your beak? Hey, hey, stranger, where’ve your emotions gone off to? Show the world that you can cry, show them all that you can cry laughing, too

If all I want in life, is to just be loved, then I don’t want to be looked at, it’s all way too sad

Though I’m so much like you, searching for the words to write Kindling up a fire, let’s sit and have a chat

Born in a form most queer, yes, there is no doubt about that I am way too cowardly to do something more

Yes, I’m so much like you, though you claim that I’ve a heart Still, I can’t believe it, ‘cause I’m just not all too sure...

With most uncertain songs amassing, the voice inside my throat just cannot stop its trembling But stupid things like that don’t matter, and once again I’m beaten by my stupid tears

Oh, ah, when I speak, my words all turn to ash They all turn to frozen ash, all my words becoming a mess

Oh, ah, on dreary days, my head keeps falling off My head just keeps falling off, as if I wasn’t embarassed enough

I’m so uncertain that I am being loved at all So I’d like it to be something I can amend

Either way you see it, that cannot be true, ‘cause, well It can’t ever be just one small thing that we can bend!

Yes, I know all too well that there is some dirty air hanging inbetween the spaces we cannot close

Either way you see it, I still have a heart to bear Let’s just hope the rain this season won’t be such a fuss! Lalalalalalalalalalalalalala lalalalalalalalalalalalala Lalalalalalalalalalalalalala lalalalalalalalalalalalala...

If all I want in life, is to just be loved, then I don’t want to be looked at, it’s all way too sad

Though I’m so much like you, searching for the words to write Kindling up a fire, let’s sit and have a chat

Born in a form most queer, yes, there is no doubt about that I am way too cowardly to do something more

Yes, I’m so much like you, though you claim that I’ve a heart Still, I can’t believe it, ‘cause I’m just not all too sure...

Sight for Sore Eyes

All I had ever wanted was for you to tell me things so stupid and so hopelessly useless Illuminated by the candlelight, your face is serious as you mutter these silly things Oh, shall I look away and smile as if I never cared, or like I didn’t hear you say all this? All I had ever wanted was for you to tell me that I’m stupid and so hopelessly useless

Though I know that you and I are doomed to fail, and our relationship will not last, will you sit here and eat with me? And will you talk about the things we had?

“So, I’ll see you, tomorrow?” Even if all our days will end like so,

I have never experienced what tomorrow truly is, so you can’t really trust my word on that, I guess

All I want is just a simple life And what the future brings is a surprise

If I could take a peek at what that future is like, then would it be a sight for the sorest eyes?

All I had ever wanted was for you to tell me things so stupid and so hopelessly useless I’d feel just so lucky if I could just die while passing the remaining time like this Raindrops against the glass; I listen to as I snuggle close to you and hold you tight as can get All I had ever wanted was for you to tell me that I’m stupid and so hopelessly useless

With closed eyes, we sit inside a bathtub and face eachother, soaked and miserably wet But the rain isn’t stopping soon, so will you talk about the things we had?

“We’ll be okay, it’s alright,” that’s what you said, wearing a childish smile

Laughing, you rubbed your nose along my tear-covered cheeks, putting aside your words, you didn’t speak to me

All I want is just a simple life And what the future brings is a surprise

If I could take a peek at what that future is like, then would it be a sight for the sorest eyes?

“So, I’ll see you, tomorrow?” Even if all our days will end like so,

I have never experienced what tomorrow truly is, so you can’t really trust my word on that, I guess

All I want is just a simple life And what the future brings is a surprise

If I could take a peek at what that future is like, then would it be a sight for the sorest eyes?

I suppose it’s a sight for the sorest eyes…

Toy Patriot

I’m a friend for life, and beyond that I’m a patriot who will protect your love From a fair amount of distance, where I sat I had seen your figure, somewhere further off

If there comes something to harm your heart, doesn’t matter what it might turn out to be With my body burnt from fighting really hard I’ll do away with all this negativity

Pick up your toys and play as if you’re in a rush, since the time you’ll become an adult will soon come to pass These boring days are just like scribbles in a children’s book Hopefully they’ll stay that way, even in your old days So, I’ll make sure you will colorfully pass this phase

I’m a friend for life, and beyond that I’m a patriot forever bound to you From the patio, clouded with the mist and breaths I had heard your lonely voice, so full of gloom

All my life, I’d just been hurt again And as a patriot, it is my duty to And like a drowning poplar, I heard it then The song resounding, it was all coming from you Ratatatataratara, ratatatataratara, ratatatataratara, taratataratata Ratatatataratara, ratatatataratara, ratatatataratara, taratataratata

If you’re ever sad, just look into the sun, ‘til your memories fade and all make place for news and fun

Those dreary days are just like deceased poppies in a field

Hopefully, you’ll never know how much of that you face So, I’ll make sure you will colorfully pass your days

Oh, I’ve always known that someday it would be inevitable that you’d forget about me Oh, I’ll be alright, all I am’s a patriot Still forever bound to you I’ll save you, that is why I exist

Pick up your toys and play as if you’re in a rush, since the time you’ll become an adult will soon come to pass These boring days are just like scribbles in a children’s book Hopefully they’ll stay that way, even in your old days So, I’ll make sure you will colorfully pass this phase

The dreadful nights and mornings without any worth to them, once they’re all smashed to pieces, I hope you’ll be happy then

In that lonely, dried-up desert, I will see you once again

Walking hand-in-hand with someone who will love you right Passing colors on the way into the morning light

When the time comes, I'm no longer here, and I'm sure that fact will hurt you really bad, but my wish for now is to just disappear, I hope you'll forgive me when it comes to that

All I am is a toy patriot

TOXIC BOY

T-T-T-T-T-T-T-This is bad, my heart is melting, I am hurting So, give me those pills that you carry with you I just want to leap out, my heart madly beating Ain’t no way in hell my body’s stopped, whatever you do!

I’m setting out to play, down the overhang A pretty girl, and an eighthundred-pound fatty The hound wields a gun, and it goes off – sounding a BANG-BANG On top of all that, is a swordwielding yankee

There’s no mistake, there’s nothing – there’s no avoiding living life in pain There’s nights like this all of the time, and mornings all the same There’s no mistake, there’s nothing – we’re always gonna dry out, afterall Today, I’ll hold my belly stiff, I’m laughing as I fall

And since I swallowed those things all of these years, it’s alright, it’s alright The darkness, the sadness, and all that is right I’ll throw it all away, far away, I can do that I don’t seem to care, I’ve got an empty head

All that I regret, it’s alright, it’s alright The painful, the wretched, it’s out of my sight It’s all painfully boring, and you can’t mistake that I don’t seem to care, I’ve got an empty head

T-T-T-T-T-T-T-This is bad, my body’s rusting, I am hurting So, give me those pills that you carry with you I just want to leap out, my heart madly beating Ain’t no way in hell my body’s stopped, whatever you do!

There in the kitchen, you left a cherry bonbon with a pleasant smell We’ll straddle up these worthless nights, block mornings just as well What do you think about it? Spreading lies and dancing shamelessly? They come and go, we’re staying still, the silence killing me

Here in my body but not inside my mind, it’s alright, it’s alright The scary, the shrewd, the mistakes I can’t hide At one point or another, they’ll vanish completely never to return, for no-one to see

Don’t mind sour or sweet, it’s alright, it’s alright The narrow, the hopeless, get out of my sight Take a closer look and you’ll make no mistake that there ain’t absolutely no traces left

And since I swallowed those things all of these years, it’s alright, it’s alright The darkness, the sadness, and all that is right I’ll throw it all away, far away, I can do that I don’t seem to care, I’ve got an empty head

All that I regret, it’s alright, it’s alright The painful, the wretched, it’s out of my sight It’s all painfully boring, and you can’t mistake that I don’t seem to care, I’ve got an empty head I don’t seem to care, I’ve got an empty head I don’t seem to care, I’ve got an empty head

Melancholy Kitchen

Face in profile, hair in model, every little detail

I saw them side by side lying on my kitchen table

I saw them within some bland and tasteless mashed potatoes

I saw them within pasta in which too much salt was used

Twelve o’clock, and you’re not there to witness all my suffering

Because I cannot stand to see my pathetic being

I saw it within the fights and tears we shed together

I saw it in the smile that never seemed to disappear

All alone inside the kitchen, keeping the curtains from opening

I can’t say; I can’t say that I’m alright with being lonely

So let’s talk about the future, hopefully sharing it together

Though I slip, and mess up everything you’ll always be there for me

Laugh along, laugh out loud, laugh it off, just like that

Using the spells that they use in stories to recreate the world we shared

Here in the room, uncurable doom has been a recurring guest

Then, you ate it as if it mattered as if it were the very best

You’ve saved me many times, then but I don’t know if you know but I’ll leave it up to you to find out

If and when we ever meet tomorrow, hopefully by then I can be truthful

Rosy cheeks, your button nose, and everything among them

I saw them side by side lying on my dead quiet stand

I saw them within the left behind wrapped cherry bonbon

I saw them in the ashes of the burnt Tarte Tatin

In the now tensed-up kitchen, there’s a battery-less timer

I can’t say; I can’t say that after all this time, I hate you

So let’s talk about our struggles, all the thoughts that like to bug us

And I hope that someday I’ll be brave enough to tell you the truth

Laugh along, laugh out loud, laugh it off, just like that

We’ve been forgiven and granted freedom from all the trouble that we had

All of the food I made, all of the food I hate, scooping it up for me to eat

You smiled widely, blew off the heat and then held it out in front of me

You’ve saved me many times, then and if you happen to know well, I let you take your time to find out

Hopefully I’ll meet you tomorrow, then, I might be able to find words, now

So, let it out

Laugh along, laugh out loud, laugh it off, just like that

Using the spells that they use in stories to recreate the world we shared

Here in the room, uncurable doom has been a recurring guest

Then, you ate it as if it mattered as if it were the very best

You’ve saved me many times, then but I don’t know if you know but I’ll leave that up to you to find out

If and when we ever meet tomorrow, hopefully by then I can be truthful
