The Cat's Whiskers - Faith

Translation by Carpfish; reprinted with permission.

In this world ruled by contradiction
Word around the block is
Kids don't spit what's real no more
Even while they're children, they've already become adults
Does getting soft turn you a profit?
Fire off your bullets of faith and resolve
I won't blame nobody but myself
I'll surpass my past with the present me, that's my justice

I've been looking but I can't find the key to this clockwork
Can anyone tell me where it is?
I know everything but pretend to know nothing
Cause I don't remember anything at all
Ryuu-kun's value can't be summed up with a calculator
Can't recall my decisions, don't understand right or wrong
It's a Socratic level of irony
Justice is just an evil deep as the sea

Raise up your faith like a waving flag
Believe in your justice
Show the world an unshakeable love
Believe in your justice
Raise up your faith like a waving flag
Believe in your justice
Show the world an unshakeable love

Defying all the pain I feel inside
To protect the ones I love I'll continue to fight
All that is alive one day as ashes will end
All that is lost cannot always be returned
What can you gain that will erase your regrets?
The only one who can choose the right path is yourself
As drink melts in my glass, my memories go back to the basics
0:00 AM

I finally have the home that I've always been searching for
I'm not going to look down on myself anymore
Beyond the despair I can see the present now
Through the dark a shining beam of light I want to follow
A parasite eating away at me inside
The past will never disappear no matter how I hide
Words of repentance won't bury my sins
But I won't run away from what the right thing is

On the stage, Lights, Camera, Action
Ryuu-kun is here too, so we're set to win
Even when you waver, protect your own morals and ego
Yet go beyond yourself so that you can grasp true glory
I don't want to focus on thoughts of fear
We can do it so long as we're all together here
Faith, Hope, Love, keep your head up
If you believe in yourself put your hands up

Yeah, we'll just keep persevering doing things our own way
You get it, right?

I'll be on my way
I rule everything around me
The Cat's Whiskers
Let's go!
