AYUMI - NOTHING FROM NOTHING [Translation]

AYUMI

NOTHING FROM NOTHING

Lyrics: DOHZI-T

Composition: Kazuo Ishijima

Arrangement: Kazuo Ishijima

---

I was spacing out and the whole day suddenly ended
Just casually, uneventfully
I'm stuck desperately waiting for something
But even that's not worth cheering up for

I wake up, I go catch the 8:00 bus
It's so crowded, I can only hear sighs
In my heart, every day feels like a chore

Classroom chit-chat is whatever
Not good, not bad, all we ever say is
"The TV drama yesterday..." "Yeah, I saw it!"
I'm sick of this already, I hate myself

I'm always rushing impatiently without going anywhere
Somewhere in my heart I know I can't keep going like this
And yet, nobody will tell me what's actually important
So once again the same tomorrow is waiting for me

Chorus 1

At the beginning of their journey
Everybody starts from nothing
We might be alone, but the road lies ahead
So let's start here, fearlessly

For now I'm just doing what I can in my own way
I think I know a lot, I've done a whole lot of thinking!
Skimming magazines at the convenience store,
Never missing the love advice,
Checking my horoscope too, but only believing the lucky bits

Lately, things have felt strange
It's getting quite unsettling
But I try to live through this
Some days I don't even want to get on the train
So I end up just skipping school

Sometimes I wanna get back up, feel the rush
I might be tiny but I'm quick to react
I'll raise my antennas and head out
If I do, I might even feel like riding the train
Life's like this, isn't it?

Chorus 1 (Repetition)

Take a closer look right in front of you
There's a surprise waiting
The beginning of a new adventure
So let's not waste a second!

1, 2! move!
3, 4! skip those!
5! make up your mind!
I don't really know what to do, so
How should I act? As the heavens decide, I guess!
Ke! Ke! Ke! And one more Ke!

Hey Yo! Let's set sail with confidence, pride and our chests puffed out
Let's aim for the top
I spin the roulette but it lands on zero
So I spin it again, but still zero
My momentum crushed, but I feel the fear very bravely

I gotta climb every step or nothing will start
1, 2, 3! I'll go step by step
A, B, C! I'm not looking back
Starting from nothing, one step at a time That's Ayumi!

Chorus 2

At the beginning of their journey
Everybody starts from nothing
We might be alone, but the road lies ahead
So let's walk forward, fearlessly

Chorus 1 (Repetition)

1, 2, 3! I'll go step by step
A, B, C! I'm not looking back
4, 5, 6! No detours allowed
D, E, F! Maybe just once in a while!
7, 8, 9! Today is the beginning
G, H, I! Nothing From Nothing
Starting from nothing, one step at a time
That's Ayumi!
