Please show your support by checking out the Official Video at WEAKEND WALKER’s youtube as well as its official streaming services
Edit: I made some changes to the lyrics as in the middle chorus some lyrics should be rephrased to sound more like the singer was fighting back the despair and not succumbing to it (thank you @yokusomizu for pointing this out). I also tuned some other parts, though the meaning does not drastically change.
I am facing some problem reuploading the corrected video on tumblr so I will try again next week. For now please view the more accurate translation here
Edit: the test post was successfully uploaded so the original post will be deleted soon. Sorry for the trouble.
Synced to Video:
死んだら負け 消えていくだけ
If I were to fall, I’ll die and disappear
終わらないこの世界から
Along with this world that never seems to end
⽕を滾らせ 今この⼿で
I’ll let the fires burn, with these hands of mine
⽩けた罪を CHECKMATE
The color of white Sin, CHECKMATE
虚構に囚われているフェイズ
Trapped in the confines of this fictional phase
捨てきれはしない 可燃性の真実
Don’t toss away the flammable words of truth
どうしたって変わらない
No matter what ever comes your way
変えられない
Don’t ever falter
思い抱いて DIVE
Embrace these feelings and DIVE
ボロボロのまんまで結構
As the world falls apart all around me
最後に笑えるのがベスト
Going down with a smile is the best action
化学反応渇望する⽇々
A daily addiction, a chemical reaction
いつまでも待っていれない
I can’t stand by waiting here forever
「これでどう?」
“What do you think?”
秒で悪意のリフレクション
Seconds show your evil reflection
反論は意味ない
There’s no use fighting back
分かっていたんだずっと
I knew this truth all along
The time has come
HEY!⼿のひらに爆薬
HEY! Throw away the fuse
導⽕線にはもう Fire
Let the dynamite in your hand explode Fire
Hey!⼿遅れさ
HEY! You’re a step too late
5 秒前焦げる匂い充ちた
5 seconds in and the room was quickly filled with smoke
邪魔はさせやしない世界に罰を
Do not disturb as this world receives its punishment
いつも僕は そう
I’ve always had these doubts
なんでだって思っていた
Why do I just keep on fighting on
この傷は報われない
These scars of mine don’t feel deserved at all
もう待っていたって
I’ve just been waiting
祈ってばっかだった
Praying for salvation
「いっそ全部消してしまう?」
“Are you ready to erase it all?”
「これでどう?」
“What do you think?”
痛みを伴ったセレクション
Of this painful pitiful selection
もう戻れない
There’s no more turning back
後ろに未来は無い
To the future that was all long gone
When the time is come
Hey!⽬の前に赫燿
Hey! Gaze as this world burns
もう時は満ちた Fire
Blazing bright, you know that time is running out Fire
Hey!⼿遅れの未来だって取り戻せるさ
Hey! There’s no going back, Trying to save the future that you have lost
Hey! The clock is ticking on, can you still save the future that you have lost
警報鳴らせ
Go let the alarm bells sound
惑わすためのビッグノイズを
Make some noise to deceive and distract them all
決死の思いさ
Hey do you feel death’s despair
混沌に紛れ罪を打ち抜け
As you drown in the chaos of your undeniable sins
As you fight back the chaos of your undeniable sins
腐れていた過去を CHECKMATE
Your rotten past shall forever haunt you CHECKMATE
僕らは厭世的なシステムに踊る
I’ve just been dancing to the tune of the system’s pessimism
感情を殺した⼈間さ
Like a person who killed off all their emotions
僕らは厭世的なシステムに踊る
I’ve just been dancing to the tune of the system’s pessimism
単調な命を⽣きていた
Living like a fool, a monotonous lifestyle
ふやけたぬるま湯の中じゃ
Floating aimlessly gazing at emptiness
栄光の未来は⼀向に⾒えないな
I can’t seem to see the glorious future they all talk about
「どう⽣きればいい?」と
“How can I find the will to live?”
問いかけた時から もう明⽇はない
There’s no answer to that and no tomorrow anymore
「これでどう?」
“Hey what do you think”
揺らぎない determination
This unwavering determination
もう何も恐れない 失ってた感情を
I’m no longer afraid, my emotions are already dead
The time get back!
HEY!⼿のひらに爆薬
HEY! Throw away the fuse
導⽕線にはもう Fire
Let the dynamite in your hand explode Fire
HEY!旗を翳せ
HEY! Raise the flags up high
弱いだけの僕らに別れを
Say goodbye to all the weakness you used to have
さあ扉壊せ
Hey, come on and break this door
のさばった不条理を蹴散らせ
Kick away everything that you had to endure
正攻法さ
Attack with your head held high
お前らに⽐べたら
I’m better off compared to you
それでも忘れられない痛みはあるんだ
But after all that, I can’t ever seem to forget the pain I felt
終わることが救いになんてなりはしない
At the end of it all, I am never ever truly saved
死んだら負け 消えていくだけ
And even when I’m dead, and even when I’m gone
終わらないこの世界から
This never ending world will forever live on
⽕を滾らせ 今この⼿で
I’ll let the fires burn, with these hands of mine
⽩けた罪を 偽善纏った奴を
The color of white Sin, I’m done being a hypocrite
CHECKMATE

Literal Translation:
If I were to fall, I’ll die and disappear
Along with this world that never seems to end
With these hands of mine, I’ll let the fires burn
Revealing the guilty (white) sin, CHECKMATE
Trapped in the confines of this fictional phase
Don’t toss away the flammable words of truth
No matter what ever comes your way
Don’t ever falter
Embrace these feelings and DIVE
As the world falls apart all around me
Going down with a smile is the best action
A daily addiction, a chemical reaction
I can’t stay here waiting forever
“What do you think?”
Seconds show your evil reflection
There’s no use fighting back
I knew this all along
The time has come
HEY! Throw away the fuse
Let the explosives in your hand explode Fire
HEY! You’re a step too late
5 seconds was all it took for the burning smell to spread
Do not disturb as this world receives its punishment
I’ve always had these doubts
Always just wondering why
These scars of mine don’t feel deserved at all
I’ve just been waiting, praying for salvation
“Are you ready to erase it all?”
“What do you think?”
Of this painful pitiful selection
There’s no more turning back
The future we once had is no longer behind us
When the time is come
Hey! Gaze as this world burns
Blazing bright, you know that time is running out Fire
Hey! It is too late, yet still you try retrieve the future you’ve lost
Go let the alarm bells sound
Make some big noise to deceive them all
Hey do you feel death’s despair
As you fight back the chaos of your undeniable sins
Your rotten past shall forever haunt you CHECKMATE
I’ve just been dancing to the tune of the system’s pessimism
Like a person who killed off all their emotions
I’ve just been dancing to the tune of the system’s pessimism
Living a monotonous lifestyle
Floating aimlessly in the lukewarm water
I can’t seem to see the glorious future they all talk about
“How can I find the will to live?”
Since asking that question, there’s no tomorrow anymore
“Hey what do you think”
This unwavering determination
Nothing scares me anymore, my emotions are already gone
The time get back!
HEY! Throw away the fuse
Let the explosives in your hand explode Fire
HEY! Raise the flags up high
Say goodbye to all the weakness you used to have
Hey, come on and break this door
Kick away everything that you had to endure
Go for a frontal attack
I’m better off compared to you
But after all that, I can’t ever seem to forget the pain I felt
At the end of it all, I am never ever truly saved
And even when I’m dead, and even when I’m gone
This never ending world will forever live on
With these hands of mine, I’ll let the fires burn
Revealing the guilty (white) sin, of the hypocritical man

❤️ Hello ~ everyone! I accidentally posted a hint at a fic I was working on for Valentine's Day, and life helped delayed that a little which is annoying but hey, life, right? However, I did goof by unintentionally posting my WIP while half-asleep when I meant to save it instead.
Well, for those who have seen the title, my debut fanfiction will be ready by the first week of next month, 📍EDITED: March 5th - March 30th at the latest just because writing a story on my phone is yeah... (My computer is getting fixed. So I'm currently editing this on my phone. 😮💨) do hope you keep an eye out for that story when it hits tumblr. 😉
My apologies for the premature post, and I thank you for your patience and understanding.
