The English Translation of "Love-Brain" from "Engage Kiss"

Here's the English translation of the lyrics:

Turning, turning, our feelings entwine, our hearts entangled in a swamp, It's your fault, you know? "Love" or "like" isn't enough; I'm feeling fluffy with you, it's my love brain

Love is severe and painful, remission is difficult (I can't maintain normalcy by pretending) The address of my heart is blank, every time it's like this (Even my suspicious behavior is strangely pure) Stop! Is this a trap? We made eye contact! (Is this a pattern of imagination or reality?) With just a little motion, I'm caught in a love trap, somehow trying to turn around

One, two, three can't express the weight of these feelings (Oh yeah!) I know the words I should say, but I can't say them (I won't say them) I still want to keep it vague

Turning, turning, our feelings entwine, our hearts entangled in a swamp, It's your fault, you know? "Just right" or "adequate" isn't enough; I want to remain unstable with you, I-brain-you

Wait, this is still (Not love!) Even if I say that, look (Love brain!) Because on the surface it's still (Not love!) Actually, it's severe (Love brain!)

Even if I make my heart vague, it's a hard game of progression Piling up day by day, can you imagine this feeling? If I say that, the answer is obvious; it's 100 points Because I absolutely won't forgive that; I won't let only you be cool!

There's no need to be shy; if you realize, you're mine, mine I want to monopolize, just the two of us; I really don't think that, it's a lie, it's a lie, it's also a lie, what should I do, it's tangled up and I can't solve it In reality, I understand

Even the uneasy boundary with you is blurry to the point that I'm not even sure (Oh yeah!) I want to melt it as it is until how to see you (I want to push it) This instinct of wanting to pursue love

Turning around, my feelings are still entangled in a heart, quite painful, but I want to push it to the limits It's not about "just right" or "perfect"; I want to be unstable with you, I-brain-you

Exceed it and show me, our secret, distorted like an eye is fine; I like you! "Corner" or "judgment" makes you even more lovable; I want to remain unstable with you, I-brain-you, I want to be unstable forever, love brain

Wait, this is still (Not love!) Even if I say that, look (Love brain!) Because on the surface it's still (Not love!) Actually, it's severe (Love brain!)
