BACK-ON – fifty/50 | Lyrics

fifty/50 is arguably the most experimental song that features in Back-on‘s latest single Sands of time, and in addition to the song being of a more electronic-rap genre where Teeda seems to be the only singer, the lyrics are actually surprisingly dark for the band.

Nevertheless, it’s still a great song, and if you haven’t heard it yet, please refer to this page to find out how to listen to the entire single online. The lyrics are, of course, provided below.

Unfortunately, as with message for kidz, Back-on didn’t actually include the lyrics for the ‘bridge’ of the song (where Teeda‘s voice goes all electronic) so this is a transcribe of what I could hear from the song. I haven’t yet been able to figure out what the missing ‘—-‘ is, so if you do know, please let us know!

You can find the original kanji below, romaji on page 2 and the romanised version on page 3, with page 4 featuring the hybrid/karaoke mix of kanji and romanji.

As always, if you spot any mistakes, please let me know either by commenting below or via the contact form. If you would like to post these lyrics elsewhere, please link back to this page. :)

JAPANESE (Kanji)

[Verse 1]
My brain separated どちらかを random に take it その時 my spirit was naked
まるで青天の霹靂 体一つ but I have two brains, that’s 超越的
Cuz I don’t wanna lose control so I handle it for myself so I’m gonna use my technique
螺旋状に響く衝撃…

[Chorus]
Where am I 目の前見えない my eyes are blind
I wanna kill myself in my mind
Get out of my mind
Where am I 目の前見えない my eyes are blind
I wanna break myself in my mind
Get out of my mind

[Verse 2]
手に取った 44 magnum I wanna shoot to my 爆弾 but I’m scared it’s like a 錯乱
また開こうとする my box of Pandora, I pained myself で抑制なんとか
I’m standing alone in the illusion 出来るかな? 頭ん中で fusion
悩めば悩むほどまさに 伸し掛かる gravity

* Repeat [Chorus]

[Bridge]
Stop thinking so much
I need —-
Killing me, it’s killing yourself
Some lies under the truth
Just go out
Let’s have some fun
Let’s have some fun

* Repeat [Chorus]
