櫻坂46 – Start over! / THE FIRST TAKE
Do you have a dream? Something you wish to do someday I’m sure you have a reason to live, a hope for living tomorrow in a certain way… That’s why we all go to sleep to forget the bad things…
We tell ourselves, as long as we pull through today we should be able to work something out… So late in the night, at a convenience store microwaving a bento; what miracle are you waiting for? I know you’ve found yourself giving up but you pretend you haven’t realized it Start over! Start over!
If you think you want to start over just once again It’s now or never I know I’m avoiding reality Snap out! I see reality in the window Makes me want to turn my back on it But the moment I go through the auto door I can also turn into someone else
The important thing is where to start over For sure, that’s a few seconds ago, when I almost gave up So what am I? Like I can talk? Unknowningly, from the comfort zone I’m condescending like a critic Where and how should I work on to get out of the lukewarm state?
If I want to do something, even if I end up failing I want to be involved… Instead of security camera protection I want the freedom of obscurity What can I sacrifice? None of that is asking too much So don’t worry about how others see you Make it zero! Make it zero!
What you have kept to this day doesn’t matter at all Don’t be pretentious; don’t act cool Once things simmer down, your pride is next to nothing Even if I’m blown away and my actual nature shows I’m not as foolish as that guy over there I want to insist I’m slightly better
And deny everything that you say But after all, we’re birds of a feather Does “now” not do? Is it too late? If you’re starting over, I’m sure you can do anything You’re just like my past I will be your future After all we’re a bunch of self-hatreds Start over! Start over!
If you think you want to start over just once again It’s now or never I know I’m avoiding reality Snap out! I see reality in the window Makes me want to turn my back on it But the moment I go through the auto door I can also turn into someone
The important thing is where to start over For sure, that’s a few seconds ago, when I almost gave up
