非常口 逃げてみた (NO EMERGENCY DOOR) Lyrics – English Translation – なとり (Natori)

[Intro]
(A flickering lighter sound, a distant, tense beat)

[Verse 1]
Light it. (Lighter, lighter.)
Watch your back. (Bye now, bye now.)
A sudden memory hits me.
I wish this room was smaller… more contained.

[Refrain]
This space is both a prison and a void—too narrow, yet too vast.
If I give in, I’ll be a corpse with nowhere left to run.
I hate you. I hate you.
I hate you. I hate you.
(Also, I hate vegetables.)

[Verse 2]
I can feel myself slowly rotting,
heading toward the inevitable end.
Crossing a bridge with a broken rail,
leaning on a miserable, crumbling dream.

[Pre-Chorus]
I can’t walk anymore. I can’t hold my breath.
If I fall now, I’ll be a corpse with nowhere left to run.
I hate you. I hate you.
I hate you. I hate you.
(Um…) I hate vegetables, too.

[Chorus]
(Huh?) I want to run away! I want to run away!
This headache is pounding; I just want to lie down.
I want to dream something good for once.
But I can’t—I have unfinished homework.
I still have so much left, but I can’t go home.

I want to run away! I want to run away!
This headache is crushing; I just want to lie down.
I want to dream something good for once.
But I can’t—I have unfinished homework.
I still have so much left, but I can’t go home.

[Verse 3]
Nothing brings me joy, so everything is boring.
If I sleep, I’ll be a corpse with nowhere left to run.
I want to run away! I want to run away!
I want to run away! I want to run away!
To the emergency exit…

[Chorus – Intensified]
(Huh?) I want to run away! I want to run away!
My head is splitting; I need to lie down.
I want a beautiful dream, just one.
But I can’t—it’s not finished. It’s so noisy!
I want to run away! But I can’t go home!
I can’t run away! There’s no way out!
Let’s all pretend you don’t see my corpse.
But I can’t—I have unfinished homework.
I still have so much left, but I can’t go home.

[Post-Chorus]
It’s all over. I just want to go to sleep.
If I wake up, I’ll be a corpse with nowhere left to run.
I hate you. I hate you.
I hate you. I hate you.
(Also, I hate vegetables.)

[Outro]
(The sound of a single spark)
Light a fire.
Lighter…
(Music cuts to silence)
