VY1V4 - If the World Was Destroyed Tomorrow (明日世界が滅ぶなら)

This song was uploaded by the user Ric, and seems to have been a collaboration between multiple people. I've loved it since the first time I heard it, and I'm not usually a huge fan of the VY series. The lyrics are a bit strange, but it was fun translating them.

Subbed version is below.

English Lyrics:


As you walk through the curtain, I wonder what you’ll ask the noise
In the crowd of people that seems like it’ll be crushed
You float around, as if in a moratorium

“This is the last supper”
I say, and strum the guitar
In a small room that’s six and half tatami mats big
I ride on the melody
The clock hands have already stopped crying

The world line that began its journey by itself
Flickered and said, “Nothing is natural.”
It might not be suitable for us, It might not be suitable for us
The ones holding the guitar are the cavalry
I’ve come to grips with you just as you are
I wonder if we even knew
What kind of place was suitable for us

Half asleep, you put a lid on the piercing noise and escaped

“This is the last supper”
I say, and strum the guitar
In a small room that’s six and half tatami mats big
I ride on the melody
The clock hands have already stopped crying

The world line that began its journey by itself
Flickered and said, “Nothing is natural.”
It might not be suitable for us, It might not be suitable for us
The ones holding the guitar are the cavalry
I’ve come to grips with you just as you are
I wonder if we even knew
What kind of place was suitable for us
