BANZAI Lyrics (English Translation) – 轟はじめ (Todoroki Hajime)

[Intro]
Cheers to this useless life
It’s all nonsense — just a fake, come on, lariat-chuu

[Verse 1]
Feels like I’m breathing just by chance
Soaked in absurdity, and still, this is my home
Got zero talent, somehow made it work though — oh
Cheers and applause? Nah, they’re hollow — oh-oh-oh, oh-oh

[Pre-Chorus]
Heart rate rising with words leaned on love
The more I live, the heavier my chest gets
What the hell is going on?
This sound’s trembling, oh-woah (Ah, ah)
Summing it up won’t help
How much is sweat-drenched money worth, anyway?
This and that, is that all there is?
So damn noisy

[Chorus]
Cheers to this useless life
Just fill this spinning brain of mine
No way I can draw a future map
It’s all so stupid — even the fakes are just that

[Post-Chorus]
(Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
Eh, no half-ass can handle this nutty tune
(Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
I turned scarlet, now I move as I please

[Verse 2]
Crouched down somewhere in the solar system
Cursed words rain from invaders (Ah, ah)
Shoegazer stuck in place — barely hanging on, huh? (Ah, ah, ah)
I dodge and drift away — nice to meet you, God

If I can be saved… I’ll cut my belly open, right now — oh

[Pre-Chorus]
Get down, get down
Shaking shadows, get down, get down
The clean and the dirty I swallowed whole
That’s what’s driving you insane
Ah, cheap tricks won’t faze me
Even dying after sweating through life feels dull
One thing or another — that’s how it goes
So damn empty

[Chorus]
Cheers to this useless life
Just fill this spinning brain of mine
No way I can draw a future map
It’s all so stupid — even the fakes are just that

[Post-Chorus]
(Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
No half-ass can handle this nutty tune
(Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
I turned scarlet, now I move as I please
