Finally done the English for this. There are a few lines that might be a bit off, but I think the message of this song is pretty clear. After seeing the confidence Kosei has in the video for this song versus some of their earlier work, it really does seem like something that he's taken to heart.
僕らの自分戦争 / Our Internal War
Music and Lyrics: Shinoyama Kosei
The clothes that I’m wearing are things that were made by someone else
The thoughts that I’m struck with are ideas that someone else has had before
I turn all the originality I can summon up into a weapon
And face my invisible enemies
Over and over, I brandish it in front of them
How long will this internal war* continue?
What the hell will it take to mould my vague existence into shape?
Ah, before I know it I’ll be gone**
When I can’t grab hold of anything like this, I wonder who exactly I want to become
The road that I should set my sights on is a path that was made by someone else
Even the wall that I’m fighting against is a wall that someone else has already passed over before me
Even the best answer I’ve ever come up with – one that I’ve searched for with all my might
Was met with comments like “Isn’t that idea played out?” from people I don’t know***
So, what should I do?
How long will this internal war continue?
What the hell will it take to mould my vague existence into shape?
Ah, before I know it I’ll be gone
When I can’t grab hold of anything like this, I wonder who exactly I want to become
How long will this internal war continue?
What the hell will it take to mould my vague existence into shape?
Ah, before I know it I’ll be gone
But I’m me, this is how I am,
And I can't become anyone else
Let’s continue our internal war like this
They might not be enough to dazzle anyone else****
But I hope we can find our answers someday
I’ve gotta head out on the 8 o’clock train
I’ve gotta head out on the 8 o’clock train
Notes:
*as in a war between a person and their self
**meaning he’ll be dead and out of time
***I'm really not sure about this line
****Lit. more like “They might not be enough to make people say “I don’t believe it!”
