踏みつけられた孤独とペダルから

何度も鳴り響く音色が頬に伝う

打ちつけられた孤独に

スネアのリズムが重なって

確かな鼓動になる

誰か心のノイズをとって

わたしを覗いてよ

誰も心の奥には入れないけれど

期待してしまう　そんな夜

Distortion it's Motion

始まったらもう止まらない

制限も経験で塗り替えられるさ

そうだろう

ディストーション　いつもそう

左脳追い越して心が走り出す

君の方へと

次の音にエスコート

日々の憂いにディストーション

ひとりの夜　鳴らすコード

君も同じかい？

理想像　追いかけた日々

Fコード　掻き鳴らすんだディストーション

ボリュームを振り切るよ

The tune that plays when my loneliness and the pedal are stepped on

Tracks down my cheeks over and over again

The pounding of my loneliness

Is joined by the rhythm of the snare drum

To create a solid pulse

Someone, please remove the distortion on my heart

And take a look inside me

Nobody can get inside my heart

But it's the kind of night when I hope someone will

Distortion it's Motion

Once it starts, there's no stopping it

Limits can be overwritten with experience

Isn't that right?

Distortion is always like that

My heart takes off, outpacing my left brain

Toward where you are

An escort to the next note

Distortion on my day-to-day anguish

The chord I play when I'm alone at night

Is it the same for you?

I spent all those days chasing my ideal image

Play an F chord with distortion

So loud that the needle swings off the scale

Distortion it's Motion

始まったらもう止まらない

命題も声帯で震わせられるさ

そうだろう

ディスコード　いつもそう

交わらないその心を繋ぎたい

端っこでも

投げつけられた言葉が

いつまでもなんだか消えないまま

夕暮れの影みたいに

追いかけられて　止まれば飲み込まれそうで

必死で走って　また夜を待つんだ

Distortion it's Motion

始まったらもう怖くない

騒音と轟音で忘れられるから

そうだろう

ディスボード　電源を繋ぐ

星灯りのように光り出せ

わたしだけの音

ギターの弦が揺れるたび

揺るがないものに変わってゆく

指先が硬くなるたび　この意志も固くなるの

ディストーションの音色

これっぽっちじゃまだ終わらない

最前でハイゲインを受け止めてみてよ

今夜も

Distortion it's Motion

始まったらもう止まらない

制限も経験で塗り替えられるさ

そうだろう

ディストーション　いつもそう

左脳追い越して心が走り出す

君の方へと

次の音にエスコート

The timbre of the sound, which again and again spreads from loneliness and the pedal,

When I press on them, it runs down my cheeks.

The rhythm of the snare overlaps

With the loneliness, that hits me,

Turning into the solid pulsations.

Somebody, take the noise off my heart

And look inside of me

Nobody can get into my heart,

But it’s the kind of night, when I hope so.

Distortion, it’s motion.

Once it starts, it can’t be stopped.

Any judgment can be shaken by the vocal cords.

Isn’t it?

It’s always like this with discord,

I want to connect our disparate hearts

At least with their tips.

The harsh words I’ve thrown,

For some reason they don’t disappear anymore,

Like a shadow at dusk.

They’re chasing me — if I stop, I think they’ll swallow me up.

So I’m running desperately, waiting for the night to fall again.

Distortion, it’s motion.

Once it starts, it’s no longer scary,

Because the noise and the roar help to forget it.

Isn’t it?

The disboard is connected to the power supply.

Shine like starlight,

My own sound!

Every time the guitar strings shake,

They turn into something unshakable.

Every time my fingers harden,

My will also becomes firm.

The timbre of distortion

Hasn’t ended in the slightest.

I should try to accept its recent high gain

Tonight again.

Distortion, it’s motion.

Once it starts, it can’t be stopped.

Any restrictions can be redrawn by experience.

Isn’t it?

It’s always like that with distortion,

Overtaking my left brain, my heart takes off running

Straight to you

It escorts me to the next sound

And introduces distortion my daily misery,

The chord I play alone at night.

Is it the same with you?

All these days I have been chasing the image of my ideal.

I’m playing an F chord, and distortion

Is making the volume dial go wild…
