Nichijo (日常) English Translation Lyrics by OFFICIAL HIGE DANDISM
If the wrinkles of a weekend too full of excitement were the worst of it, that would be fine.
But it’s the same old story, these shackles on my heart that won’t come off.
On a path home through an endless night, “I wish tomorrow wouldn’t come.”
What did I just say? Ah, I shouldn’t have checked.
At times like these, from a trembling pocket, familiar words shine.
With that single notification, your knack for saving everything comes through.
It seems you’ve noticed when I’m feeling down, when I say, “I’m exhausted.”
Whether falling short of my quota or exceeding it, today’s routine is measured again.
Whether in a suit or sweatpants, it seems to be the same.
Whether things are unchanged or you’re concerned about my well-being,
You care today too, it seems it’s all the same, good day or bad.
If it were better than the depths of despair I’ve sunk to, that would be fine.
But I can’t feel that way, can’t get over it, these rough patches on my heart.
The fine layer of happiness I’ve slathered on, none of it seems to work.
It grows red and big, worsening with time, unable to crush it.
Even though I know there are several solutions, I can’t take that first step.
My heart stumbles easily over the seven letters of homeostasis.
Even if I lament, “I’m exhausted,” it seems to be a bother.
What do I want, and how do I gauge myself?
Whether it’s pain or wanting to stop, it seems to vary by day.
Every time I’m told to open up, I end up unable to speak.
It seems relying on your kindness is quite tough.
It’s not really a big deal, just talking is enough.
Though I’m weak, I still want to put on a good face for you.
Whether falling short of my quota or exceeding it, today’s routine is measured again.
Whether in a suit or sweatpants, it seems to be the same.
Whether things are unchanged or you’re concerned about my well-being,
You care today too, it seems it’s all the same, good day or bad.
Troubled by unchanging people, yet healed by them.
This strength I show, even if it’s a façade, seems quite important.
With a messy heart, I live through another day.
