BREAK ME

Romaji and English translation of the song BREAK ME from the single VORTEX by the GazettE.

Lyrics originally sung in English are in italics , and words or phrases I felt were implied are in [brackets] in the translation.

I also (usually) put repeats of chorus/verses/stanzas in [brackets] if they’re not written that way in the original lyrics for ease of singing along.

If he writes a word in the lyrics but doesn’t sing it, I put it in light grey to make it easier to skip when singing along.

I usually romajize katakana characters in CAPITALS, and keep punctuation and line spacing as close to the original booklet as possible. If you see me putting spaces before punctuation at the end of a sentence or writing things in mixed-case capitals, that’s because it’s how it was in the booklet.

Any comments I had during the romajization/translation process will be included as footnotes so as not to disturb the flow of the song. They’re not required reading, but Ruki does some pretty nifty things with his lyrics/kanji choices, or sometimes there’s further explanations about words or phrases in there.

BREAK ME: Romaji

Psyche tokedashi Frozen furue sakidasu Flower
Sensitivity chigirete kurikaesu Split

Cold wind disappoints me
My nervous bad habit
The vicious circle doesn’t stop

Break me
Please kill me out at your beautiful hand
Before I break your mind
Please kill me out at your beautiful hand
Before I dirty your mind

Always wasuretakute
Always nigeba wa nakute
In my head karamiawanu kuro to shiro ga ugomeku

Byoukizami no hai ga mimi no oku de Delay
Without cease nagaredasu
Mazariawanu Vision

Cold wind disappoints me
My nervous bad habit
The vicious circle doesn’t stop

Break me
Please kill me out at your beautiful hand
Before I break your mind
Please kill me out at your beautiful hand
Before I dirty your mind

Please delete my existence
I pray for your happiness
Before I kill your mind

Please kill me out at your beautiful hand

BREAK ME: Translation

My Psyche starts to dissolve, Frozen; trembling, it begins to bloom into a Flower
Sensitivity torn asunder, the Split happens once again

Cold wind disappoints me
My nervous bad habit
The vicious circle doesn’t stop

Break me
Please kill me out at your beautiful hand
Before I break your mind
Please kill me out at your beautiful hand
Before I dirty your mind

Always wanting to forget
Always unable to escape
In my head the writhing black and white can’t mix together

With the Delay of the ticking second hand in my ear
It pours out Without ceasing
The Vision I’m unable to bring together

Cold wind disappoints me
My nervous bad habit
The vicious circle doesn’t stop

Break me
Please kill me out at your beautiful hand
Before I break your mind
Please kill me out at your beautiful hand
Before I dirty your mind

Please delete my existence
I pray for your happiness
Before I kill your mind

Please kill me out at your beautiful hand
