385 – 脳みそあらおう

picture by chinamo

If you like Midori, you should definetely check this band out.
They have the same vibe on their song, even if expressed in different ways.
Personally I prefer Midori, mainly because of the vocals / dialect / overall fusion/jazz vibe, but 385’s instrumentals are really incredible.

385 – 脳みそあらおう

欲望の塊がこっちをみてるよ
絶望に満ちて破壊的になっているよ
どうにもならない現実を抱えて自分自身にさえ
逆らえもしない
言い訳ばかりが行き交って過ぎてゆく

yokubou no katamari ga kocchi o miteru yo
zetsubou ni michite hakaiteki ni natteiru yo
dou ni mo naranai genjitsu o kakaete jibun jishin ni sae
sakarae mo shinai
ii wake bakari ga yukikatte sugite yuku

Lustful crowds full of despair
Are facing this way, it’s becoming devastating
Yet I hold firmly onto this helpless reality,
Without even daring to oppose it myself
Passing through it in a loop of excuses going back and forth

私さけていけ。

watashi sakete yuke.

Please avoid me.

脳みそあらおう　脳みそあらおう

nou miso araou nou miso araou

Let’s have a brainwash, let’s have a brainwash

恐ろしくなって逃げだしたいのです。
でも、いくつになってもあきらめがきれないんです。
美化したものは壊されていく
一瞬でボロボロと崩れていく感じだ
10秒も殺せない感情は荒れ狂って
見たことない自分に会いたいのに。

osoroshiku natte nige dashitai no desu.
demo, ikutsu ni natte mo akirame ga kirenai ndesu.
bikashita mono wa kowasarete yuku
isshun de boroboro to kuzurete yuku kanji da
juu byou mo korosenai kanjou wa arekurutte
mita koto nai jibun ni aitai no ni.

It has become frightening, and I want to run away from it.
But no matter how big it becomes, I can’t seem to give up yet.
Everything I glorified is gradually being destroyed
It feels like it’s crumbling down into pieces in an instant
I can’t waste not even 10 seconds, and my emotions are going berserk
Even so, I still want to meet the me I haven’t seen yet.

愛する人がどんどん離れていく
僕はこっから飛び出していけるのかな。

aisuru hito ga dondon hanarete iku
boku wa kokkara tobi dashite ikeru no kana.

The people I love are quickly getting further away
I wonder if I can set off and fly from this point..?

脳みそあらおう　脳みそあらおう
脳みそあらおう　脳みそあらおう
あ、でてきました。

nou miso araou nou miso araou
nou miso araou nou miso araou
a, detekimashita.

Let’s have a brainwash, let’s have a brainwash
Let’s have a brainwash, let’s have a brainwash
Ah, it came out.

脳みそあらおう　脳みそあらおう
脳みそあらおう　脳みそあらおう

nou miso araou nou miso araou
nou miso araou nou miso araou

Let’s have a brainwash, let’s have a brainwash
Let’s have a brainwash, let’s have a brainwash

洗脳された頭をあらいたい
目をふさいでいるのは誰でもない自分で
右も左も見てみれば同じ顔の僕らが
流されてヘラヘラと　笑ってる
逆らって切っても虚しさに覆われる
変わらない憂鬱を好んで選択している
ふりかえるなよ　ふりかえるなよ
見たことない自分に会いにいこう

sennou sareta atama o araitai
me o fusaideiru no wa dare demo nai watashi de
migi mo hidari mo mite mireba onaji kao no bokura ga
nagasarete herahera to waratteru
sakaratte kitte mo munashisa ni oowareru
kawaranai yuuutsu o kononde sentaku shiteiru
furi kaeru na yo furi kaeru na yo
mita koto nai jibun ni ai ni ikou

I want to wash up my brainwashed head
No one is averting their eyes, I am
And if we look on our left and right, we, with the same faces,
Are being washed away, foolishly laughing
No matter if we oppose it or cut it away, we’ll be covered in emptiness
Choosing to love the unchanging gloom we’re in
Don’t look back, don’t you dare looking back
Let’s go meet the me I haven’t seen yet

Notes:

– Last stanza: I think “自分” (“jibun”) is read as “watashi” (私), but can’t really tell because of the way she’s screaming. Anyway, I hear “watashi”, and being that “Jibun” and “Watashi” stands for the same thing, I’m leaving it as “watashi”.
