| 僕にだってこんな | I also want to be able |
| 聞く人の価値観をねじ曲げるくらいの | to bend people's worldviews with my art. |
| 喜びとか優しさとか | To have that sort of joy, that sort of care, |

| 背景だってまるで無い | I can't even come up with a setting |

| 今まで出会った好きな曲から分かる対策が | If I took inspiration from all the songs I've liked so far |
| 共感を得るんですね | I'd get a sense of empathy, right? |
| あるいは傷心に寄り添うんですね | Or I'll snuggle up with my broken heart |
| ひねり出すんだ | I'll come up with all sorts of things |
| 短期間て言って何時間 | I give myself a time limit, then ask what time it is |
| 悩みはあまりにもやもや | All my worries are just so vague. |
| 僕にだってこんあ | I also want to be able |
| 聞く人の人生を狂わせるくらいの | to drive people insane with my art |
| 絶望とか終末の祈り | But that sort of despair, and that kind of desperate prayer |
| 涙だって枯れだ | have dried out like my tears |

| 努力を返して | Give it back to me |
| 返してよね | Just give it back, please |
