A translation to this song:

Every day a strong adversary attacks Chasing after the ringing phone, all I want is a feeling of peace

They call it an expressway traffic jam but it’s more like a slowway. Obeying logic which conflicts with the truth

Nothing can hold my interest; not much upsets me What day was today anyway? It’s not really an issue. ...Ah, I just wanna be hurt.

The more interest and motivation it takes away, the more I fit the mold. Or perhaps I’ll do my job through copulation... am I planning this out?

Control me, it’s so fucking tedious. When is the last train on the Ginza line? It’s not really an issue. ...Ah, I just wanna be a machine.

Tell me, what does it mean to love? I can’t remember.
