Title: 「モディファイ」
Artist: Doctrine Doctrine
Album: Darlington
Vocals: Miyashita Yuu 「宮下遊」
Songwriter: seeeeecun 「しーくん」
Translator's Notes:
Hands down my favorite song from the album!! Miyashita Yuu's low breathy voice is too powerful i cantnttntntnt
When the crossfade was released, at first I misheard him saying "fxcking" and with those tunes I thought this song was a sultry song when in fact it's a song about being fed up of work dksjfhs
fun fact: seeeeecun wrote this song while being sick and also fed up @ his work
This song has very catchy tunes and lyrics - in the original Japanese lyrics, a lot of parts are made to rhyme and I tried to cross that over to my English translated version too! I am not good in poetry so I tried to adapt it to suit the tone of the lyrics at hand. As Japanese and English vary in basic structure and grammar, the translated lyrics may not reflect the exact word-to-word in order. Enjoy!

Getting fed upIt's like a landmine
I gave my answer, I put my shoes on
A rainy hiking,
A stream of whining,
It's not turning around, not turning
Raise it up
A growing bud from somewhere beyond,
As if it's welling up,
Its existence festered, it flourished
"Not good enough, not good enough, seriously"
I want to live without anxiety, without pain
Is it impossible?
Tomorrow, again,
I'm back to the lifeless "working space"
Maria
Tomorrow, as always,
Verbally abused,
"You're worthless, do you have no brain?"
"This is why you won't succeed in life."
"Get it done by tomorrow."
Self-realization?
Self-growth?
Self-responsibility?
Give me a break
If it's sense of values you're saying,
I dumped it into a box called the hierarchy
Yes, I did
Individuality or teamwork?
Which one is it?
Make up your mind
A collection of 10 template responses, prepared for convenience
Seems like the Patrolman discovered my account
Maybe trust is dead, perhaps it left
Maybe I need to compensate till the day I become a grave
The mimics are waiting in expectation
Is the bare land they wish to wear still unresolved?
Actually this is how it is, this is how I am
I built a gap
I struggled
No hope, no future
I'm just existing
It might be impossible to go on
Tomorrow, again,
Back to where I have nearly no human rights,
(the) working space
Maria
They say the crimson liquid settled the long jump
"This is why you won't succeed in life"
"Get it done by tomorrow"
"I honestly couldn't care less about you"
Doesn't your mind have nothing else but gold-scattering gods?
That's right
An alarm rings somewhere beyond
From the other end of the line, I hear booing, booing
Do it do
Now, give it back
Filled with dignity, my, my heart
I jumped and grabbed his collar
Bye days~
Maria
Tomorrow, as always,
Verbally abused,
"You're worthless, do you have no brain?"
Criminals don't kiss and tell
Whatever the reason is, I did that
Self-defense?
Self-defense?
Self-breakdown?
So, which one do you think?
But somehow I feel relieved about myself
Hey, Maria
Tomorrow, as always,
Verbally abused,
"You're worthless, do you have no brain?"
"This is why you won't succeed in life."
"Get it done by tomorrow."
Course-correction,
Course-correction,
Course-correction
I've had enough
If it's sense of values you're talking about, I ate it long ago
Well, whatever
