I really love No Sleep! It's a really beautiful song if you know the lyrics
So I just went ahead and translated it...
I don't want to sleep. How am I supposed to fall asleep when the sun's not even out yet?
I want to call someone. Whom do I want to call in the middle of the night?
This peacefulness, why is the world squandering it away?
If only there's someone by my bedside, I don't even need to love them.
Who in the world can differentiate the feelings of love?
What determines day from night and can let me sleep?
I don't want to sleep. The people I've hated become more beautiful at night.
Looking at old pictures, I pretend to cry a bit.
The things I've experienced, there's a bit of addiction and foolishness mixed in.
The cycle of life and death, who can remember whom?
I can still smell the fragrance of roses then.
But I didn't see the scars and wounds on my wrist, how can I sleep?
I don't want to sleep. I listen intently to the faint sound of my pulse.
Even if I'm covered by blankets, I can't cover away the lies and pretense.
With eyes like a cat, the sharper I see as the night gets darker.
The windowsill by the wandering city, everyone peeps in on the story.
So many beds with people back to back,
So many faces that cry in the darkness.
There's no one for me. There's no one to accompany me. There's no one.
Before the world wakes up, let me seize the night.
I don't need to pretend to be kind and have a sweet smile.
Insomnia is God's way of pitying the ones who has been hurt.
Before having to wake up and play another role, please let me forget a little.
Who's guilty? Who's hurt? Who's at fault? Who's alone?
