Night turns into dawn. I wake up in the morning
With a crick in my neck. That just means I exist in this body
I chat with you, I eat a meal
And I put on clothes, but I can’t shake the uncanny feeling from any of it
It’s weird, it’s weird, it’s weird, it’s weird somehow
I pass through the ticket gate at the station
Such peace, peace, peace, peace—
Naturally, I crack up at it
A cat’s name is Tama, but I couldn’t tell you why
And a dog’s name is Pochi, but I couldn’t tell you why
It feels like the whole world is gonna end, but I couldn’t tell you why
I’m dissolving into the sunset’s afterglow while cradling my existencе
There’s no, no, no meaning
To living or doing our bеst—it might all be pointless
Nothing will remain of us a thousand years from now
And yet I still want to laugh with you!
That’s ‘cause nobody makes sense
That’s ‘cause nobody makes sense
I watch as the moon rises, the stars
Shine, and the bugs hop about
Eh? How long have I been hanging around here?
And how long can I keep hanging around here?
I’m just fleeing from phantoms
Still unable to become anyone myself
An image floats to mind in my padded cell:
Enemies packed like sardines in my derailed train of thought
The eldest son’s name is Tarou, and that holds true even now
But the next son’s name is Hanako, which is also true now
Time is ticking on and on, but I couldn’t tell you why
So I’m gazing up at the star-studded sky while buried in the dump
There’s no, no, no meaning
To loving or falling in love—it might all be a scam
I’d hesitate if someone asked me what 1 + 1 is
And yet I still want to protect you!
That’s ‘cause nobody makes sense
That’s ‘cause nobody makes sense
Nonetheless, we hold our breaths when going through tunnels
Fold origami cranes
Feel our pets’ paws
And only step on the white parts of the zebra crossings
Nonetheless, we make mistakes
And assume we’re correct
We’re bright, so we understood it
Again, we were very concerned about understanding it
There’s no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no meaning
To living or doing our best
But what else are you supposed to do?
There’s no, no, no meaning
To living or doing our best—it might all be pointless
Nothing will remain of us a thousand years from now
And yet I still want to laugh with you!
Even if our wishes can come true and our comprehension widens
We might still be lonely in the end
I’ll become a ghost and return to nothingness
And yet I still want to laugh with you!
That’s ‘cause nobody makes sense
That’s ‘cause nobody makes sense
Yes, nobody makes sense
Yes, nobody makes sense
Yes, nobody makes sense
Yes, that’s ‘cause nobody makes sense
