Lyrics

Japanese	Romaji	English
嗚呼	aa	Alas,
夢持ったって意味ないなぁ	yume motta tte imi nai naa	There's no point in holding on to dreams
前向いたって無駄なんだ	mae muita tte muda nanda	It's a waste to look forward
泣いてみたって意味ないなぁ	naite mitatte imi nai naa	There's no point in trying to cry
悲しんだって無駄なんだ	kanashinda tte muda nanda	It's a waste to mourn over it

せっせっせーのよーいよいよい	sessesse no yooi yoi yoi	L-L-Let's go, it's all fine, fine, fine
がむしゃらに現在　藻掻いて	gamushara ni ima mogaite	Recklessly, presently　struggling
散々もっと擦り減っちゃって退廃脳内	sanzan motto suri hecchatte taihai nounai	Deteriorating brain getting thoroughly worn down more and more
淡々たんと生きてる　それだけ。	tantan tanto ikiteru sore dake.	I'm living way too blandly　That's all there is to it.

ば	ba	Ba-

BAD BAD BAD BAD	BAD BAD BAD BAD	BAD BAD BAD BAD
×〇▲□に模範な解答	batsu maru sankaku shikaku ni mohan na kaitou	×〇▲□^[1]- all model answers
埋めとけば　隙間の空いた	umetokeba sukima no aita	When I unplugged it,　the opening emptied out
この心　埋まりますか	kono kokoro umarimasu ka	Will this heart overflow?
BAD BAD BAD BAD	BAD BAD BAD BAD	BAD BAD BAD BAD
Xバッテンで視覚も年がら年中	batsu batten de shikaku mo nengaranenjuu	All year round, my vision is covered in X marks
有耶無耶で　すくみ上がって	uyamuya de sukumiagatte	Vague and　cowering in fear-
ここはどこ？いたいたいたい	koko wa doko? itaitaitai	Where am I? Ouch, ouch, ouch

堕　堕　堕　堕　堕　堕　堕　堕	da da da da da da da da	Fallen　Fallen　Fallen　Fallen　Fallen　Fallen　Fallen　Fallen
惰　惰　惰　惰　惰　惰　惰　惰	da da da da da da da da	Lazy　Lazy　Lazy　Lazy　Lazy　Lazy　Lazy　Lazy
蛇　蛇　蛇　蛇　蛇　蛇　蛇　蛇　無駄	da da da da da da da da muda	Snake　Snake　Snake　Snake　Snake　Snake　Snake　Snake　A waste

夢持てないからってなんだ	yume motenai kara tte nanda	There's no point in holding on to dreams
右向けないからってなんだ	migi mukenai kara tte nanda	Even though I won't look to my right
投げ出したからってなんだ	nagedashita kara tte nanda	Even though I threw it down
正解だって誰決めんだ	seikai datte dare kimen da	Who decided what's "correct?"

せっせっせーのよーいよいよい	sessesse no yooi yoi yoi	L-L-Let's go, it's all fine, fine, fine
ひたすらに泥被って	hitasura ni doro kabutte	Single-mindedly covering myself with mud
段々もっと背負い込んじゃって大概　惨状	dandan motto shoikonjatte taigai sanjou	The burdens gradually piling up, for the most part　 it hurts to watch
全然前途多難だ　それだけ。	zenzen zento tanan da sore dake.	The future's looking pretty bleak　That's all there is to it.

ば	ba	Ba-

この心　埋まりますか	kono kokoro umarimasu ka	Will this heart overflow?
BAD BAD BAD BAD	BAD BAD BAD BAD	BAD BAD BAD BAD

踊らされ　巣食われちゃって	odorasare sukuwarechatte	Forced to dance and　haunted-
このところ　痛い痛い痛い	kono tokoro itai itai itai	These days,　it hurts, it hurts, it hurts

BAD BAD BAD BAD	BAD BAD BAD BAD	BAD BAD BAD BAD
Xバッテンで　ぱっぱっぱっ	batsu batten de pappappa	Going quickly with these X marks
×バッテン罰バッテン救われたくて	batsu batten batsu batten ga sukuwaretakute	These X-marked answers　wanting to be saved-
ここんとこ　痛い痛い痛い	kokon toko itai itai itai	At this point,　it hurts, it hurts, it hurts

Notes

↑ × is used to mark a wrong answer. 〇 is used to mark a correct answer (like a checkmark in English). ▲ is basically between correct and incorrect (not quite wrong, not quite right). I couldn't find anything on what □ would refer to here (most results talked about it in internet context being used to mark an "unavailable character" [something like when certain emojis don't display on certain devices], otherwise the only thing I could find was that it might be a reference to the playstation controller button symbols, if that makes any sense here).
