MARETU
MARETU – Born Before (English Translation)
Since I was dead before I was born
It's only going back to how things used to be!
Could you somehow rearrange all of your painful feelings and dangerous thoughts
Into just a single thought for me?
Miserably, miserably pile up these festering, rotten lumps
Of your lingering attachments
It hurts. It hurts. It's heartbreaking, isn't it?
But it's fun to sing songs about it
At you, at you, standing right before me
It's so easy!
Well
Since I was dead before I was born
It's only going back to how things used to be!
(It's completely empty)
Ah
Since I was dead before I was born
Well
If only I could return to before I was born
I'm not scared anymore
Won't anyone help me
With this miserable sorrow smeared with my feelings?
Won't someone kill this monster
That can change my very being with but a single touch?
Be it pleasant or unpleasant, you just have to stomach it
Sleepy? Tired? Then go ahead and take a good rest
Because it's while you're asleep
That they take you
Well
Since I was dead before I was born
It's only going back to how things used to be!
(It's completely empty)
Ah
Since I was dead before I was born
Well
It's only going back to how things used to be
It wouldn't be so hard
It wouldn't hurt
And it wouldn't be scary anymore
(Really)
