SOTA, JUNON, LEO (BE:FIRST) – Genesis (Translation by shizuna)

[shizuna]

This translation is also available on the BMSG Wiki, Genesis page :)


What a cruel and beautiful world

Gravitational waves weigh me down now ya
A spirit that surpasses its limits, eye-opening talent
In for the kill, feel the pain
Love and pain in the shadows
In for the kill, feel the pain
A song of frenzied divine possession
In for the kill, feel the pain
Not enough. Not enough. Giving me more
In for the kill, feel the pain
Not enough. Not enough. Giving me more
In for the kill, feel the pain
Those and these will be my prey. My prey!
Thank you for the meal. Thank you for the meal, everyone

If you only look at the outlines, you’ll lump us all into ABCD
Does it make you happy glorifying someone’s story?
Stop idolizing,
You won’t become Ohtani-san [1], will you?
“Just chasing dreams” huh. Don’t mock me, count the scars
“Sounds wonderful doesn’t it?” Well, lucky you for knowing nothing.
Above the noise we see the truth, we know it all.
Hope we meet again tomorrow.

What a cruel and beautiful world
Ain't no stopping our spirits and time
We'll evolve into different species, different species. One in a billion
Ain't no stopping our spirits and time

Awakening our genesis
What a cruel and beautiful world

Don’t limit your true nature. Take off and aim for the top of the top
Going against my sanity, living on the edge, on my way.
Striking straight into your mind – freaky. Let’s get it, get it, get it on
Skills overflowing. Impossible to decode.
Too high-tech, high spec, super guys
From the desolate wilderness to the farthest reaches of space,
Maybe I really am an alien, I’m crazy – oh my god

Brush off pressure and jealousy
Fakers and haters aren’t even enemies
Instinct locks in with surging strength
Our status keeps rising
Our worth and our wins multiply in an instant.
Even breaking through limits again, we won’t stop.
Flying beyond the skies
Toasting with my brothers above the clouds.
We seem to belong more to the galaxy than this Earth,
Avenger-like aliens.

Breaking free from the Hyperbolic Time Chamber [2],
Spitting out both hope and despair.
A cycle of destruction and rebirth,
With the craziest friends right beside me

A booster surges through me, once I go wild I can’t stop
A monster no one can handle.
Taking 1st place on a stage you can’t imagine
An artist that is in another dimension, naturally.
I can’t find the ceiling
I can’t see the ceiling
I gotta break the ceiling
I can’t stop my universe

Don’t limit your true nature. Take off and aim for the top of the top
Going against my sanity, living on the edge, on my way.
Striking straight into your mind – freaky. Let’s get it, get it, get it on

I can't find the ceiling
I can't see the ceiling
I gotta break the ceiling
I can't stop my universe

We are marvelous
Shining brighter than diamonds, we’re not going to stop now [3]
We’re rising to our genesis
Shall we take you beyond the skies to a new world?
We are marvelous

I can't find the ceiling
I can't see the ceiling
I gotta break the ceiling
I can't stop my universe
I can't stop my universe

[2] A reference to Dragon Ball's Hyperbolic Time Chamber. It's a alternate dimension from Earth, where one can train and get stronger in a short span of time because a day on Earth equals to a year in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber
[3] A reference to BE:FIRST's debut song, Shining One
