jrock, Japanese Rock Chantella
Kokuhaku no Uta

Based on how I feel...this song is both 100% the truth and 100% a lie at the same time...I have no idea how to even explain that.

English Lyrics:

[verse 1]
Here I am silently standing
wearing my strong armor
Do you wanna go? I’ve done this many times before, so I’ve been prepared.

Mr. Pain, you may’ve won this time, but next time belongs to me!
This never-ending spiral is just going around and around and around and around and

[bridge]
This pain (I hate it) This life (I hate it) My existence (I hate it) My excuses (I hate it)

[chorus 1]
All my life I’ve fought
These shamefully
indelible scars

All this time has passed me by
I threw parts of it away

[verse 2]
I held onto my sword tightly
I was searching for an escape
instead of fighting like I was supposed to
and lost my shield in the process

The only escape is inside the pain
but I didn’t know that at the time!

I am a coward.
I can’t do that…

[bridge 2]
This pain (I want it) This life (I want it) My existence (I want it) My excuses (I want it)

[chorus 2]
All I want is happiness
Is the end far?

Can you help me? I’m drowning.
Take my sword from me, and give me peace

*repeat
