[WHY? Lyrics]
[Japanese]
Age is only a number, yeah, 気にすんな
あいつと違う道だけ進むんだ
What is your problem? I ain’t got time for the chitter-chat, yeah
悪魔の声は破滅もたらすだけさ (Yeah)
(Who?) They all do the same, but why can’t they understand us?
(When?) Everyday every night, they can not stop with the “Blah-blah”
(Where?) They’re everywhere, everywhere, looking like starving hyenas
What do they want? How am I gonna survive?
We do the same actions but we are the victims (Why?)
Kill the sound (Kill the sound), このままいさせて
Paint the town (Paint the town), わがままの my way
繰り返す日常の (Why?)
鎖破って leave us alone
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Leave us alone
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Leave us alone
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Leave us alone
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
止まらない口を zip it up now
聞こえない I’m taking my time
I don’t know why
構わずに進むのさ
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
You don’t know who I am
遊びじゃない game
ノイズが離れない, don’t wanna hear them tell me
Volume off, no-oh-oh-oh
周りに流されてるって 決めつけてんだろ
No-oh-oh-oh
かけるクセついてしまった
色眼鏡 白が黒で黒は白
曇る判断さえ見ないふりしてる again
Trash in the streets, yeah, I like to call ’em people
I don’t wanna listen because they’re all hypocritical
Negative energy, 切り捨て行こう
周り目気にせずに go pronto
Kill the sound (Kill the sound), このままいさせて
Paint the town (Paint the town), わがままの my way
繰り返す日常の (Why?)
鎖破って leave us alone
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Leave us alone
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Leave us alone
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh

Why can’t they leave us alone? (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Time to just leave us alone (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Watch me snap (Why?)

[English]
Age is only a number, yeah, don’t care about it
They don’t walk the same path as us
What is your problem? I ain’t got time for the chitter-chat, yeah
The voice of the devil brings nothing but destruction (Yeah)
(Who?) They all do the same, but why can’t they understand us?
(When?) Everyday every night, they can not stop with the “Blah-blah”
(Where?) They’re everywhere, everywhere, looking like starving hyеnas
What do they want? How am I gonna survive?
We do thе same actions but we are the victims (Why?)
Kill the sound (Kill the sound), let us be like this
Paint the town (Paint the town), selfishly my way
In the repetitive daily life (Why?)
Break the chains leave us alone
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh

Can’t hear, I’m taking my time
I don’t know why
But keep moving forward without caring
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
You don’t know who I am
It’s not a game, game
The noise won’t go away, don’t wanna hear them tell me
Volume off, no-oh-oh-oh
Deiced to be carried away by those around you
No-oh-oh-oh
I’ve developed a habit of putting up a front
Seeing through colored glasses
But white is black and black is white
Ignoring every cloudy judgments again
Trash in the streets, yeah, I like to call ’em people
I don’t wanna listen because they’re all hypocritical
Negative energy, let’s cut them off and move on
Without caring about others, go pronto
Kill the sound (Kill the sound), let us be like this
Paint the town (Paint the town), selfishly my way
In the repetitive daily life (Why?)
Break the chains leave us alone
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Leave us alone
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Leave us alone
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Leave us alone
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Your non-stop talking zip it up now
