Ranko: I remember that when I listened to it the first time, I thought “That’s unusual!”. It’s for the “Hey!”. They are cheerful.
If you listen to it carefully, the piano is devilish, I like it. I also like the vocals that go in unison with the synth in the pre-chorus.
Lyrics
THE 真っ当 真っすぐパッション 騙すより騙された方がいいね
THE 葛藤 でもそれだと 唆されては大騒ぎ
THE 劣等 サイズは元凶 誰でも一つは持ってるでしょ？
THE 現状 まだまだでしょ 誇りは高く夢はデカく
\HEY/ THE mattou massugu passhon damasu yori damasareta hou ga ii ne
\HEY/ THE kattou demo sore da to sosonokasarete wa oosawagi
\HEY/ THE rettou saizu wa genkyou dare demo hitotsu wa motteru desho?
\HEY/ THE genjou madamada desho hokori wa takaku yume wa dekaku
振っちゃってもっと ブンブンってもっと
欲しい物とエゴまで出る出る
もうちょっと もっと もうちょっと もっと
腕千切れるまで
fucchatte motto bunbuntte motto
hoshii mono to ego made deru deru
mou chotto motto mou chotto motto
ude chigireru made
嗚呼 手を伸ばして掴んだものと違う景色
もう戻れぬ道 選んだ時に決まる
aa te wo nobashite tsukanda mono to chigau e
mou modorenu michi eranda toki ni kimaru
THE 感動 一期一会 気づけば誰かに助けられて
THE 健忘 真心より目の前のものにヨダレ出す
\HEY/ THE kandou ichigoichie kidzukeba dareka ni tasukerarete
\HEY/ THE kenbou magokoro yori me no mae no mono ni yodare dasu
今日よりもっと明日よりもっと
苦悩は抹消 楽チンチンです
もうちょっと もっと もうちょっと もっと
繰り返し御化け
kyou yori motto asu yori motto
kunou wa masshou rakuchinchin desu
mou chotto motto mou chotto motto
kurikaeshi obake
嗚呼 近道などないのに探している瞳
もう捨ててしまえ欲望という小槌を
aa chikamichi nado nai no ni sagashite iru me
mou sutete shimae yokubou to iu kodzuchi wo
嗚呼 大きさより量より誇り高き背
嗚呼 手を伸ばして掴んだものと違う景色
もう捨ててしまえ欲望という小槌を
aa ookisa yori ryou yori hokoritakaki se
aa te wo nobashite tsukanda mono to chigau e
mou sutete shimae yokubou to iu kodzuchi wo
Notes
* the word “景色” in the third and last stanzas is usually pronounced as “keshiki and means “scenery/landscape”, but Ranko sings “e” (drawing).
Translation
Le Honesty. A straightforward passion. It’s better to deceive than to be deceived.
Le Conflict. But that’s a lot of fuss when it’s being instigated
Le Inferiority. Size is the main culprit. Everyone has one, right?
Le Status Quo. Isn’t quite there yet. Pride is high, dreams are big
Shake it up more, buzz it up more
It’s all about, it’s all about ego and what you want.
A little more more, a little more more
Until my arm is torn off
Ah, a different view from the one I reached for and grabbed
There’s no turning back anymore. The path was settled once chosen.
Le Emotion. A once in a lifetime encounter. Before I knew it, someone was helping me.
Le Forgetfulness. I’d rather drool over what’s in front of me than be sincere.
More than today, more than tomorrow
The anguish is erased, and it’s easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy
A little more more, a little more more
The goblins are repeating
Ah, my eyes searching for a shortcut when there is none
I shall throw away this mallet of desires already
Ah, More than my size, more than my quantity, I stand proudly
Ah, a different view from the one I reached for and grabbed
I shall throw away this mallet of desires already
