this may take a little bit to translate but seeing as how the lyrics are transcribed it should also be easy

it would be even easier with kanji (words I never thought I would say) but it'll be good practice for sure

the most constructive thing I can offer is that Kamurocho is the city name

other than that, fuck if i know 'cause i don't speak no moonspeech but even i can tell what he's singing is not even close to the actual words

I will just say that I think there are actually words in the "just noise" part but they are perhaps incredibly slurred and I can't make them out with the background noise of my house

Fen is talking about the person who wrote the Journal.

Which I am not sure who did now. So oh well.

the implication I was trying to get across was that journal man and man that john went on about in the linked post last page are one and the same

whereas John (now) was initially talking about just a friend he had in the police force, thinking that was who Cloud was referring to

Okay yeah. That's who Fen is talking about. I don't know who Cloud is talking about.

An insincere smile, a last minute cancellation, you prostrate yourself

In this back and forth, everyday repeating life

That forced excuse is worth nothing! You an idiot or a clown?!

Overtime work, sleepless nights, coming home (or “rules”, I’m not 100% sure this is where kanji would help), a sacrifice

Is our freedom as metropolitan samurai

Our dream, a pension?

It’s hopeless! Holding onto more and more dreams…

The majority of heads!

Someone’s chosen rules

quick rough translation but there's the first paragraph

it didn't take me as long as it seemed, I was just called away for something

My itunes has spazzed out and now it's up to me to take it apart piece by piece.

God damn this thing is spread out. Uninstalling is hard.

What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?

I do believe from the vocab that he's singing about the listlessness and meaninglessness of modern worker culture

or something

Are these Japanese song lyrics? If so than there's pretty much no meaning.

Just like the Dangan.

I'm aware, but this day has been pretty intense for me and I'm not yet ready to switch my mind to RP mode.

It's from this

I noticed the lyrics on the screen didn't quite match up with half of what he was singing, which made me curious

@Jam no but I can definitely see a common theme here

like it's not actually grammatical or anything but the words do have meaning and they seem to be revolving around a similar theme

probably doesn't help that this translation has little nuance

@Squid that I do not have an answer to

probably because the salaryman life sucks so it's Relatable

Wrought from the rock that stands upon old

With heart of black and a stare that's cold

Cold are the hands that grasp at your soul

'Fore the graves are dug and the death knells toll

Tempered in the flows of the mountain's core

Where the rage runs red twixt shore and shore

Shorn from the world 'neath the blazing sun

Bound to the dark, FOR THE LIGHT I SHUN

BOW DOWN OVERDWELLER

The guy that transcribed the thing didn't seem to realise there was mangled English in there was well

Also it seems like he has some kind of accent as well

okay so

"toritsubushi"

could be a portmanteau of toritsu (metropolitan as in to do with the Tokyo metropolitan government) and bushi (samurai)

or maybe it's a bizarrely specific historical reference to "smashing/scrapping" particularly the "smashing of the daimyoo" in the late tokugawa period

I have no idea

beyond that as far as I'm aware it's not actually a word

I would have a better idea if kanji
