Translator's Notes:

This song has been stuck on my mind on and off after Sabitsuku Made was released. I thought this would be short but it took me a little more than 2 hours to translate lol! I had to squint my ears (?) very hard to catch some parts especially the 'Neon lights', I only caught it after like 4 repeats :)))

As always I tried to remain the same amount of syllables (I gave up trying to rhyme it, but hey, it's sing-able!)

Enjoy!

Dizziness at 3AM dawn

A shriveled up chiffon cake

Mistakes, perfection, and the like

Aren't they all different sides of the same coin?

Like a childlike flower

Even the breathing resonates sweetly

A sleeping young girl, yet seemingly praying

Take it all-

Check for signs of life,

Crush the rising heart contractions,

Let us escape the night

Ordinarily, in simplicity and clarity,

Katrina

I swallowed my saliva,

Schedules thrown away,

Eyes wandering with no aim,

I followed my vague memory

I want to prove I am right

And my foot takes the first step

Into the glimmering depth

Soaring, heartbeat strums

Pulses, gradually clogging blood vessels

This is the final decision, no more room for doubt

Break through it-

Shut the blaring sirens down

Crash into the highway railing

(Neon lights)

Burn the scenery into yourself, put it into words

Katrina

Original (Japanese) Lyrics

眩暈がする午前三時

乾き切ったシフォンケヱキ

間違いや正しさなど

二方向性の世界なのさ, 疑って？

幼気な花のように

呼吸さえも甘く響いた

祈るように瞑る少女を

褫え。

生命兆候を確かめて

心臓狭窄を飼い殺せ

単純明快に僕たちで

夜を脱走よう, カトリーナ

唾液を飮み込んだ

踏み附けた時刻表

理由なく彷徨う目

あやふやな記憶を辿った

正しいを認めたくて

第一歩を踏み出した

眩惑の奥へ

高揚, 心拍を掻き鳴らす

脈拍, 頚動を詰まらせて

最終判断は疑わずに

毀せ。

サイレン放送を無爲にして

ハイウェイ抗爭を弾け飛ぶ

(NeonLights)

景象を燬き附けて, 言葉にして

カトリーナ

カトリーナ
