I havent subbed an Ototsugi song in so long!! I had this one in the backburner for awhile, so I didn’t notice most of their content went away. Since I did get their OK before they retired(?), I should be in the clear. But if they’ve changed their mind since, I’ll be happy to take this down!
Thanks a bunch to Kesera who did the subs!

✾ Lyrics ✾
嗚呼、もう飽き飽きなんだわ
何にも変わりゃしないんだわ
ただの繰り返しなんだわ
Ahh, I’m so sick of this
There’s no way this’ll ever change
It just keeps going in circles
新鮮味に欠けてきた割に
熟練してきたわけじゃないし
結局ただの凡人だ
Despite having no originality,
I don’t have any skills to make up for it either
In the end I really am just a mediocre person
目的と手段が逆転
衝動的思考が蔓延
奏功せず未来は暗転
狭小な引出しで観念
劣等な気持ちだけ全面
本当に情けない限りだ
My goals and means are reversed
My impulsive thoughts are going rampant
My unsuccessful future is looking grim
My resignation lies inside a narrow drawer
My whole being is filled to the brim with thoughts of inferiority
I’m really as pathetic as it gets
承認欲求に侵されて
フラストレーションばかり溜めてるの?
そんな毎日詰まらないじゃない?
分かっていても止められない
はあ…
All seeking approval from others does
is give you nothing but frustration, right?
Aren’t you tired of living everyday like this?
I get that, but that doesn’t mean I can stop
Ugh…
何のためにやっているのか
誰のためにやっているのか
分からない 分からない
そもそも何のためにやっているのか
誰のためにやっているのか
分からない 分からない
Why am I doing this?
Who am I doing this for?
I don’t know, I don’t know
Why did I start doing this in the first place?
Who am I doing this for?
I don’t know, I don’t know
Let’s sing !
La La La La La La La
La La La La La La La
La Li La La Li La La La La La
La La La La La…
承認欲求に侵されて
フラストレーションばかり溜めてるの?
そんな毎日詰まらないじゃない?
分かっちゃいるけど…
All seeking approval does
is give you nothing but frustration, right?
Aren’t you tired of living everyday like this?
I get that, but...
結局欲望は尽きなくて
迷宮の中で藻掻き苦しんでいる
結果が全て 結果が全て
能なき鷹は爪も生えない
It turns out, all of my desires
are suffering in an endless labyrinth
the end is all that matters, the end is all that matters
All I am is a worthless hawk that can’t even grow talons
個性なんて要らない! 個性なんて要らない!
量産型でも良い 構わないの
イミテーションしましょ! イミテーションしましょ!
他者評価が得られればそれだけで良い
(?)
I don’t need individuality! I don’t need individuality!
I don’t care if it’s just mass-produced goods
Keep the imitation up! Keep the imitation up!
As long as people think I have worth, that’s good enough for me(?)
