One of Ganta Igarashi's (五十嵐 丸太) songs from the anime Deadman Wonderland.
Ganta is the main character of the series. Being a normal guy, he hangs around with his friends in class when suddenly outside the window a masked person with a red cape is floating. The "red man" blows in the windows, wrecks the entire place and when Ganta regains concsiousness he is the only person left alive, to come face to face with the "red man" who embeds a red crystal in his chest.
Next thing Ganta knows, he is accused of murdering his entire class, gets framed by his 'lawyer' and is sent to Deadman Wonderland prison, where the prisoners earn their keep "entertaining the visitors" by being put through deadly "games".
Prisoners on death row, like Ganta, especially need to partake in these life or death games because they wear a collar that injects a poison into its wearer. This poison needs to be countered every three days with an expensive antidote.
In Deadman Wonderland, Ganta discovers his ability to manipulate his blood to shoot it like bullets, meaning he is a "Deadman", and thus is sent to partake in gladiator-like underground games where Deadmen are sent to fight other Deadmen one on one.
Ganta's every day life is taken from him and what is left is put upside down, all because of a murder he did not commit.
Ganta is voiced by Romi PARK (though the "correct" romanization for her last name would be "Paku").
The song is the first track of the CD "DWB feat. GANTA".
As an overall note for the song, I'd like to point out it consists of many fragmented phrases as well as some slang exclamations (mostly showing Ganta is extremely pissed off) which are hard to translate. If you have remarks or suggestions, I'd gladly hear them!
Dash Out歌:DWB feat. GANTA (CV: 朴路美)
「ありえねぇ なんでオレが こんな目にあうんだよ…ふざけんじゃねぇ
一瞬で 弾け飛んだ 生ぬるい毎日に まだしがみつく
オレじゃない やってねぇよ 助けてよ 不条理が 首をもたげる
ムチャクチャだ 死にたいんだ 溢れたんだ 最低だ これが現実」
放射線に拡がる RED 夢 むせる臭い
放り込まれた TheEnd もう…やだ…膝が笑う
両足が絡まる 忘れた 走る仕組み
当たりまえが欲しいだけだろ 何が悪い?
ホントの正義を見せてよ
閉じ込められた 四角い世界
丸い穴を開けるんだ 月の光
ホントのルールはいつでも
朝が来て夜が来る みたいに
当然の日々にあるんだ 空が観たい
I hope escape
「痛いのも 血が出るのも 叫ぶのも 慣れるのも 防御システム
コトナカレ 流されて いたらいたで 捻じれては ちぎれるココロ
約束を していたんだ 破られた 赤い他人に 簡単に
グチャグチャだ 生きたいんだ 溢れたんだ 単純だ これが本能」
追い込まれて見つけた 命の 点火スイッチ
飼い慣らされりゃTheEnd サヨナラ 涙をのむ
しょっぱい選択で 後悔 したくないよ
エンジンに火を点け 守るよ 火蓋を切れ
ホントの未来を見せてよ
閉じ込められた 四角い世界
針で穴を開けるんだ 星の光
ホントの虚言が欲しいよ
明日は必ず来る みたいな
いい加減ななぐさめでも 空が見える
Right now Dash Out
My hope Escape
放射線に拡がる RED 夢 むせる臭い
放り込まれたThe End もう…やだ…膝が笑う
両足が絡まる 忘れた 走る仕組み
当たりまえが欲しいだけだろ 何が悪い?
ホントの正義を見せてよ
閉じ込められた 四角い世界
丸い穴を開けるんだ 月の光
ホントのルールはいつでも
朝が来て夜が来る みたいに
当然の日々にあるんだ 空が観たい
Right now Dash Out
My hope Escape

Song: DWB feat. Ganta (CV:Paku Romi)
"Impossible (*1) Why does this happen to me ... This is not funny (*2)
In a moment it came flying out Still holding onto my easy (*3) daily life
It wasn’t me I didn’t do it Save me Irrationality rears its head
It’s absurd (*4) I want to die It’s over flowing It’s horrible This is reality"
The RED dream that spreads in (*5) radiation Choking smell
Thrown in TheEnd No more My knees are about to buckle (*6)
My legs entangle I forgot An escape plan (*7)
I only want what is normal (*8) What is wrong with that?
Show me real justice
Being trapped inside a square world
I'll open a round hole Moon's light
Real rules are always
Like how morning and evening come
Present every ordinary day (*9) I want to watch the sky
I hope escape
"Pain and bleeding and screaming and getting used to it Defense system
Peace at any price (10) letting it flow If it's there, it is (*11) being twisted my heart that's being broken to bits
I made a promise it got broken by the red person easily (*12)
Messed up (*13) I want to live It's overflowing Simple This is instinct"
Found after being driven in a corner The switch that lights my life's fire
If you let yourself get used to being owned (*14) TheEnd Farewell Swallow up your tears
I don't want to regret anything from a bitter choice
Lighting the flame of my engine protecting it Let's start (*15)
Show me a real future
Being trapped inside a square world
Opening a hole with pins Star's light
I want a real lie
Tomorrow will certainly come Something like that
Even with that half-assed comfort I can see the sky
Right now Dash Out
My hope Escape
The RED dream that spreads in (*5) radiation Choking smell
Thrown in TheEnd No more My knees are about to buckle (*6)
My legs entangle Forgetting An escape plan (*7)
I only want what is normal (*8) What is wrong with that?
Show me real justice
Being trapped inside a square world
I'll open a round hole Moon's light
Real rules are always
Like how morning and evening come
Present every ordinary day (*9) I want to watch the sky
Right now Dash Out
My hope Escape
Notes:
(*1) - Impossible / Arienee - Also ok would be "this cannot be happening" - but I opted for "impossible" because the next sentence has the word "happen" in it.
(*2) - This is not funny / Fuzaken janee - I opted for a free translation. More on the spot would be "don’t mess around" or even "don't fuck around" as it is stronger and closer to the Japanese.
(*3) - Easy / nama nurui - Namanurui can also mean "lukewarm" in which case it may refer to what "comes flying out". However, as it is put in front of "mainichi", I connected it to that word.
(*4) - Absurd / Muchakucha - Can be translated as "unreasonable" as well.
(*5) - Spreads in / ni hirogaru - This can be either "spreads (/broadens) in radiation" or "spreads (/broadens) by radiation".
(*6) - My knees buckle / Hiza ga warau - Idiomatic phrase. Literally: "knees are laughing".
(*7) - An escape plan / hashiru shigumi - Literally: "running" and "structure" or "plan".
(*8) - Normal / Atarimae - A set phrase that can mean "reasonable", "common". It is also used as a phrase in the following way: "Itai ka?" "Atarimae daro!" meaning "Does that hurt?" "That's a given, ain't it?"
(*9) - Real rules...day / Hontou...arun da - A very free translation would be "Real rules are part of the daily routine, just like how the sun rises and sets." However, it is not a given that the three lines really interact with each other, as all phrases in the song seem fragmented (which in itself sends off a strong message).
(*10) - Peace at any price / koto nakare - Idiomatic phrase, coming from "koto nakare shuugi" = "principle of peace-at-any-price"
(*11) - If it's there, it is / itara ita de - It's an open phrase: "If it is there, like that ...". As an example, "itara ita de urusai kedo, inakereba nai de sabishii" - "If he's there, (like that) he is obnoxious, but if he isn't there (like that), I'm lonely."
(*12) - I made...easily / Yakusoku...kantan ni - This line surprised me as Ganta made a promise, but as far as I remember -he- was the one who broke it...
(*13) - Messed up / Guchagucha - Meant both figuratively as well as literally
(*14) - Owned / Kau - In the way someone owns a pet
(*15) - Let's start / Hibuta wo kire - The idiomatic phrase for "let's start (fight or argument)" is literally "cut a fire cap/covering" (the "fire covering" is actually a covering for the end of a barrel of a gun or cannon) - there is a bit of punning going on here with "set fire to my engine" and the idiomatic expression "Start (fight or argument)" as both use "fire".
