I'm doing nothing but stepping on a tiger's tail
+
I know it full well, but there's a way of life I won't give up - forgive me
+
If I close my mouth that draws calamity near
+
Next I'm told I'm cold and unfriendly
+
If I try forcing a silly, strained smile
+
Everyone treats me like a fool - how humiliating
+
If I'd been born in another era,
+
Would I have been spared this suffocating feeling?
+
Because the flame in my chest, no matter how damp the wind,
+
Can never be extinguished - an eternal hellfire
+
That burns this body to ashes
+
If I pile up words thinking we might understand each other
+
I'm told to "summarize," as if I'm a nuisance
+
So as not to brush against the net of harassment
+
I move with cautious, silent steps - it's dangerous
+

It's not that I'm pretending to be aloof,
+
But somehow I still don't fit in
+
Hana ichi monme - I want strength
+
"I won't give you up," for there's a demon behind me
+
In this world, borrowing the tiger's authority
+
And wagging your tail neatly settles things - that's the norm
+
Will you still believe in me?
+
A beautiful phoenix born from the ashes
+
Because the flame in my chest, no matter how damp the wind,
+
Can never be extinguished - an eternal hellfire
+
That burns this body to ashes
