Yorushika - Dakara boku wa ongaku wo yameta (That's Why I Gave Up on Music)

English Lyrics

I’ve thought about it but couldn’t understand,

Why under the the blue sky,

I waited for you.

The afternoon wind blowing,

My imagination gets blown away too.

Hey, I wonder how am I supposed to go on from here?

Nobody has told me how to move forward.

I looked into your eyes,

But without a word, I walked away.

I’ve thought about it but couldn’t understand.

Youth is not all that fun.

I’ve supposedly quit playing the piano,

But my fingers keep on tapping on the table.

Hey, I wonder what I should do in the future.

It would be good if it wasn’t music.

Don’t worry too much about it.

Even if I pulled just one heart string,

It’s one that’s not gonna disappear.

Even until now,

I remember.

I got it wrong.

I don’t understand.

I don’t care

About all you humans and the truth and love and the world and pain and life.

Wanting to know what’s right is just a defence mechanism.

I’ve thought about it,

And it’s your fault.

I’ve thought about it but I still don’t know.

I really don’t want to grow old.

Even just thinking about how I will die one day makes my chest feel empty.

I thought I would know what to do in the future.

But once I grew up, I understood,

That I’m not gonna do a thing.

How should I say why I hate people who put on a happy face?

It's a monster-like inferiority complex that lives in my unfulfilled mind.

I didn’t get it wrong.

You’re all humans after all.

Not having foundation for love and salvation and kindness is hideous.

Feeling pain due to a love song is just a defence mechanism.

It’s not like I care.

It’s your fault.

I’ve thought about it and still don’t know.

It’s already hard just to keep living.

I can’t make a living out of music.

Writing pointless lyrics,

It’s not like I care.

I’m quite sure I didn’t get it wrong.

I didn’t get it wrong, right?

I didn’t get it wrong, right?

I got it wrong.

I get it now.

I don’t care

About all you humans and love and salvation and kindness and life.

Being unable to give the right answer is just a defence mechanism.

It’s not like I care,

It’s your fault.

Even I had a faith in something too

But now it has turned into rubbish.

I wrote to you again and again.

I didn’t care if it was gonna sell or anything.

It’s true.

It’s the truth.

That’s how it used to be.

That’s why,

That’s why I gave up on music.
