\twhat u waiting for?
\n\tWaiting so obediently
\n\tYou’ll miss the ride     warnin’ warnin’
\n\tHurry up time is money money\t<\/p>\n

\tBecause this is my story
\n\tI can’t rely
\n\tOn another’s yes or no<\/p>\n

\tThough there are some dangers to it,
\n\tI know that I have to see for myself
\n\tAnd have my regrets [1]<\/p>\n

\tAll of those
\n\tCountless tears I shed
\n\tAnd the sacrifices I’ve made
\n\tAre for this moment\t<\/p>\n

\tI don’t pretend to be perfect     eh eh
\n\tShowing my wounds as they are     eh eh o-oh
\n\tBecause they are proof that I fought to get here
\n\tgotta be one of a kind, the only one     eh eh
\n\tThe color that is all my own     eh o-oh
\n\tGlowing say eh eh oh oh oh <\/p>\n

\tHow far have I come
\n\tAnd how far will I go next?
\n\tHigh heels ringing,
\n\tsteppin’ through the city<\/p>\n

\tEven if I’m gasping for air
\n\tI won’t ever say
\n\tThat I could become someone else [2]<\/p>\n

\tMy true self,
\n\tMy eternal passion,
\n\tTell it, microphone:
\n\tDeliver my message [3]<\/p>\n

\tI won’t avert my eyes     I don’t want to run away     eh eh
\n\tTo the far reaches,     eh eh o-oh
\n\tEven in hard times, let the song reverberate
\n\tgotta be one of a kind     Fearless     eh eh
\n\tPolished by the grindstone     eh oh oh
\n\tUntil the day of brilliance     say eh eh oh oh oh hey<\/p>\n

\t“live your life”
\n\tIn this brief time
\n\tThe winner is the one who laughed,     isn’t that so?
\n\tride or die
\n\tUntil this voice gives out [4]
\n\tI do it ’cause I love it, you love it<\/p>\n

===========
\n[1] jibun no me de mitenakucha     koukai suru<\/strong>. lit<\/em>: “I have to see with my own eyes. Regret it.”
\nMore at: “I have to see for\/experience it for myself, and regret [those experiences for myself].”<\/p>\n

[2] iki ga kireta toshite     dareka ga kawareru you ja     kotae wa denai<\/strong>
\nMore literally at: “In the case of dying\/ceasing to breath\/gasping\/struggling, if I were to switch places with someone else, the answer won’t come out.” I’m inferring this to mean that the singer, even if she were to stop breathing, won’t answer in the affirmative to the question of switching out of that situation to be someone else. <\/p>\n

[3] todokasete<\/strong>: “let it reach\/let it be delivered.” The singer implores the microphone to transmit her true self (hontou no watashi) and inextinguisable fire (kienai netsu) — to the universe, presumably.<\/p>\n

[4] kono koe kareru made<\/strong>: lit<\/em>, “until this voice dries up” <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
