Genius English Translations
Angela Aki - “Factory” (English Translation)
[Verse 1]
I wake up in the factory, so to sum up the history
My family are these machines
Every morning, I get assigned to the conveyor belt
Doing what I’m supposed to like a proper, decent citizen

[Pre-Chorus]
In order to fit in with society, in order to behave properly

[Verse 2]
I don a fake smile, tighten up the screws of my personality
And dash out to face the world
Even as my feet stumble in the train, even as I take abusive words, I am fine
I have a self-control feature

[Pre-Chorus]
Everything is all together, and yet I feel like there’s something missing

[Chorus]
My iron pride and aluminum dreams are perfect
Without a flaw in the design
Woah-oh, woah-oh
Woah-oh, woah-oh

[Verse 3]
But when I set eyes upon you, a simple shutdown was impossible
I needed a lockdown, I wonder what it means
Within my delicate heart, a whimsical rhythm began beating
A symphony of chaos
[Pre-Chorus]
Even if I try to grease my joints, I can’t move, with the smoke, an alarm begins to ring

[Chorus]
The patterns of my thinking that are made of lead
Come to a melting point as I face love
Woah-oh, woah-oh
Woah-oh, woah-oh
Woah-oh, woah-oh
Woah-oh, woah-oh

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
I want to break this concrete expression on my face into little pieces

[Chorus]
Now my true self opens its eyes
Because no mechanism exists for true love and passion
And that it is not perfect makes it beautiful
Woah-oh, woah-oh
Woah-oh, woah-oh
Woah-oh, woah-oh
Woah-oh, woah-oh
