  4. ねえどうして 人は言葉で人を

    Hey, why is it that people can hurt others with their words?

  5. 殺せるようになってしまったんだろう?

    How did we become capable of killing with our tongues?

  6. 画面から飛び出した文字はナイフみたいだ

  6. これじゃあまるでサッカーボールだろう?

    It's just like being a soccer ball, right?

  7. 弾かれて 蹴りつけられ

    Bounced around and kicked away.

  8. ついてないよな でも

    It's tough, isn't it? But,

  9. それなら僕たちは 最後まで耐え抜いてやろうよ

    If that's the case, let's endure until the very end.

    Until they get bored, until we’re too tired to play.

  11. What's goin on? いつかはそう 見返してやろうよ

    What's goin on? One day, we'll look back at this.

    If you can hum along, you’re not alone.
