Sleeping like I'm Dead

法律を破りたい　いい人なんか報われない

I want to break the law. It's not like good people are rewarded.

ホールデンとかディーン・モリアーティ　車を盗んで逃げ出したい

Holden, or Dean Moriarty. I want to steal a car and run away.

所詮僕など俗物だ　でもそれに居直るような

After all, we're materialistic. But I'll pass on being a slave to possessions,

物質の奴隷はごめんだ　命の喜びは裏切れない

sitting up all proper for them. I can't double cross the joy of life.

悲しみだって喜びさ　何もそれは現実逃避じゃなく

Even sadness is a joy. It's not an escape from reality in the slightest.

震えるこの身の震源地が　恐れの向こうで脈動するから

Because the epicenter of this trembling body pulsates on the other side of fear,

死んでるみたいに眠ってる　泥を掴む度汚れてく

I'm sleeping like I'm dead. Each time I grasp mud I'm dirtied.

耳をそばだて聴いてみる　寝息は未来の匂いがする

Straining my ears, I try to hear. My sleeping breath carries the scent of the future.

精神的にまいっちゃった　原っぱ寝そべって休みたい

Mentally, I'm at a total loss. I want to sprawl out in an open field and sleep.

そいつを僕は罵った　もっと働けと罵った

I badmouthed that, I badmouthed it by telling myself to work more.

断固として過去は否定したい　青春は安寧との闘争だ

I want to firmly reject my past. Youth is a war with peace.

新しい歌を歌いたい　ラジカセで聴いたフォーエバーヤング

I want to sing a new song. The Forever Young I listened to on my cassette player.

死んでるみたいに眠ってる　悲しみの眉間を撃ち抜く

I'm sleeping like I'm dead. I pop sorrow right between the eyes.

枕元には修羅が立つ　涙を流して怒ってる

At my pillowside, carnage ensues. I shed tears, growing angry.

間違ってることは支持できない　それは根本的な尊厳だ

I can't back something that's wrong, that's fundamental dignity.

野垂れ死ぬなら本望だ　僕のまま僕を終えるなら

I'll have achieved my goal if I'll die alone by the road. If I end myself as I am.

死んでるみたいに眠ってる　誰かが遠くで手を振ってる

I'm sleeping like I'm dead. Someone from far off is waving at me.

僕はそれを無視してる　見えているけど無視してる

I ignore that. I see it, but I ignore it.
