Comeback Trigger

Lyrics, Composition, & Arrangement: Sukima Switch

I've generally been able to do things in my own way
but I was what they call a jack of all trades, master of none. I'd become a frog in a well

I've come this far with "luck on my side" and the "gist" of things
but I speak a bit bitterly when I hear about my friends' success

Looking back, I used to try increasing "what I could do"
At some point, I started thinking only about "what I can't do"

My heart gets scared and retreats into its shell and I just talk a bunch of nonsense
Expecting it, I give up, and lose heart
In a sprint one day, what will I see when I hold up my first prize badge
to the light? The promise I made then to the future?
Sombre glory?

In my early 20's when it felt like I was in a dream
I lived without looking beyond, blaming it on my overflowing energy

Expected of, tested, people are so cruel and selfish
and, before you know it, they boast that the answer is the number of good reviews

Rather than deceive myself by giving myself over to the fads eating the times
I'm fine with being laughed at and made fun of
I'll imagine myself scoring a last two-second comeback goal
I can still do it! I'll go greet the "me" I left behind then

Ripping off my T-shirt and naked, now I have nothing to hide
I'll make even the indelible scars my medals
and writhe about, crawl around, and hit hard!
Even if I'm not a perfect hero, I'll take on the challenge courageously
I too have the blood of victory running in me
Gyakuten Trigger

Sakushi, Sakkyoku, & Henkyoku: Sukima Switch

Nani wo yattemo hitotoori sorenari ni dekita kedo
Zoku ni iu kiyoubinbou i no naka no kawazu to kashite ita

"Un ga mikata" to "youryou" de koko made wa kita'n dakedo
Nakama no seikoubanashi niwa sukoshi dokuzuichau

Ima omoeba mukashi wa "dekiru koto" wo fuyasou to shite ita
Itsu kara ka "dekinai koto" bakari kangaechattari shite

Haato ga bibitte kara ni komotte gotaku wo narabete bakkari
Yosou shite akiramete shobokurete iru
Itsuka no kakekko ittoushou no bajji hikari ni kazashitara
Nani ga mieru no? Ano toki ni mirai to kawashita yakusoku?
Kusunda eikou?

Yumemigokochi de iru you na nijuudai zenhan wa
Minagitta enerugii no sei ni shite mukou mizu ni ikite ita

Kitai sareru koto tamesareru koto hito wa zankoku de migatte
Itsushika kotae towa kyouka no kazu nanda tte usobuite

Jidai wo kutta hayari ni hitatte jibun wo damasu kurai nara
Warawarete yayusarete sore da tte ii
Rasuto nibyou no gyakuten gooru kimeru to imeeji shite
Mada yareru zo! Ano koro ni okizari no "boku" wo mukae ni ikou

T-shatsu yabutte hadaka ni natte imasara kakusu mono mo nai
Kienai kizuato mo kunshou ni shite
Korogemawatte haizurimawatte buchikamasu'n da yo!
Kanpeki na hiiroo ja naku tomo yuumoukakan ni idonde ikou
Boku nimo nagareru shouri no chishio
