The English Translation of "Everyone, Scramble" from "Engage Kiss"
Here's the English translation of the lyrics:
Question 1: "Does humanity have meaning?"
Oh no! It's that ambiguous thing. To be honest, I don't need exemplary kindness. I just want to tear it apart.
(In chaos, shaking!) In a life full of irony (In chaos, shaking!) Everyone's acting like the main cast, like a carnival! If you're going to get serious, then go ahead!
If you replace the word "impure thoughts" with desire, won't it be fun? If you bite into it, won't it go at my pace?
Understand? The curtain has fully opened.
(Who are you!?) I'll knock everyone out, so don't underestimate me. (Right now!) The voltage of love keeps rising. If you're not prepared, you'll be left behind right away. Even if you say something sweet, it won't get through! (It's time!) Ah, don't leave me alone. I miss you, honey! (Right now!) This world is falling apart. The vow's kiss, well, it's a bit bitter, isn't it? Ah, I can't wait! I can't wait! It's swirling - who, he, really, scramble!
Chapter 2: "The turmoil continues"
Oh no! There's no limit. I just can't accept it, sorry! I just want to tear it apart.
(In chaos, shaking!) The struggle for love is an all-out war. (In chaos, shaking!) To those who dropped out, goodbye. Too bad! Well then, it's my turn.
If there's a deathmatch that can't be resolved by punching, (Right now!) I'll send you my trump card. It might hurt a bit, but you'll feel better soon. Besides, it feels so good it's unbearable! (It's time!) Ah, don't leave me alone. I miss you, honey! (Right now!) This kind of love won't happen again. If I hold you close, you'll understand, right? Ah, I want it! I want it! I want it!
The non-fiction of instinct clashes with yes or no. (Everyone, look closely, it's a scramble!) There's no time to ask about the good and bad of sin, it's action! (Everyone, look closely, it's a scramble!) Turn right, turn left, swing and throw with all your might. Don't leave any regrets. Hey, love is so amazing that it's worth throwing away everything. Understand? Be prepared!
Question 1: "Does humanity have meaning?" Add meaning later, it's a carnival! Race through the final scene in front of you before the curtain closes!
(Who are you!?) Ah, I'll knock everyone out, so don't underestimate me. (Right now!) The voltage of love keeps rising. If you're not prepared, you'll be left behind right away. Even if you say something sweet, it won't get through! (It's time!) Ah, don't leave me alone. I miss you, honey! (Right now!) This world is falling apart. The vow's kiss, well, it's a bit bitter, isn't it? Ah, I can't wait! I can't wait! It's swirling - who, he, really, scramble! I want to be loved, for the rest of my life. (It's time!)
