THURSDAY'S YOUTH - #Songwriter (english translation)

There are some lines I'm not too sure about, but I think the gist of what he's saying is pretty clear. I'm really happy that they did a live video for this track.

Music and Lyrics: Shinoyama Kosei

A heart with a low-level rebellious spirit
A Japanese person that’s withering away to nothing
Saying it’s filled with slander is my air raid shelter from SNS*

My soul must be defective
When I face any hardship, I think having none would be better
The ones still left on the shelf must be available at a bargain,
But the return period on mine has already expired

Won’t you stay for me? Please!
I still need your money

Looking at it from the opposite side, thinking something like that just seems the lowest – the worst – doesn’t it?**
Guys like that can just hurry up and disappear

I’m being loved for telling nothing but lies, right?***
The truth is, I hate everyone
But even so, I won’t flinch away from it
I’ll accept this world

Writing songs to play at festivals
It’s alright if you get fired up
I could hear voices from the area around me saying
“It’s no good if you complain”

Won’t you stay for me? Stay there
Because I still need your money

“Ah, that’s right, make sure to buy the CD after too!”
That copyright is what's keeping me alive

This kind of song is the result of my struggle
This song is the type of song I can write right now
Even so, it doesn’t matter
I’ll accept this music

I’m being loved for telling nothing but lies, right?***
The truth is, I hate everyone
But even so, I won’t flinch away from it
I’ll accept this world

I’m being loved for telling nothing but lies, right?***
The truth is, I hate everyone
But even so, I won’t flinch away from it
I’ll accept this world

I’m being loved for telling nothing but lies
The truth is, I hate everyone
But even so, I won’t flinch away from it
I’ll accept this world

What’s right, and
What’s wrong
An absurd songwriter

Let’s sing along pointlessly
Let’s lament this dying music scene
For every suitably laughable songwriter****

Notes:
*, ***, ****I’m not sure about these lines.
**Meaning, looking at his own attitude from the perspective of a fan
