Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
苦しいのは分かってるのに
生きる事はこんなに簡単なのに
消える事は思ったよりも難しくて
明日を見るのが怖くて
目を開けている時間が怖くて
でも僕は幸せだね
今日もちゃんと自分を騙して
嘘つきな今を生きているよ
It's easy to live
どうせ全て終わるから息をしてみよう
It's easy to live
僕は今日も笑っているよ
それだけでいいから
My hands were shaking with fear from power
There must be another way to words
Everyone is weak
So let's take a deep breath
嘘が重なり苦しくて
でもそれが僕を救う手段で
傷だらけになっているよ
それでも「僕は強い」って
今日もちゃんと自分を騙して
嘘つきな今を生きているよ
It's easy to live
どうせ全て終わるなら息をしてみよう
It's easy to live
今日も笑えているかな?
それだけでいいよね?
自分を騙した数だけ涙が溢れるんだ
そんな仕組みだって分かっているけど
そうじゃなきゃ生きられない
許してよ ごめんね
消えていくつもりが息をしてしまう
苦しいのは分かってるけど
消える事がこんなにも怖いなんて
誰も教えてくれなかったのに
「ほらね。今日も生きている。」
It's easy to live
どうせ全て終わるから息をしてみよう
It's easy to live
僕は今日も笑っているよ
それだけでいいから
It's easy to live
It's easy to live
It's easy to live
It's easy to live
Let's take a breath
The song "BREATH" by dexcore is about the mental anguish and fear that comes with the desire to disappear or stop living, but being unable to do so. The opening lines "消えていくつもりが息をしてしまう, 苦しいのは分かってるのに" (Planning to disappear but still breathing, knowing it's painful) showcases the struggle between wanting to end one's life and the instinct to keep going despite the pain. The lyrics continue to express the fear and apprehension towards the future, with lines like "明日を見るのが怖くて, 目を開けている時間が怖くて" (Scared to see tomorrow, scared to be awake).
The lyrics also touch on the idea of self-deception as a coping mechanism. Lines such as "嘘つきな今を生きているよ" (I'm living through lies) and "今日もちゃんと自分を騙して" (I'm still deceiving myself today) show how the singer is using false positivity to survive, despite being emotionally wounded. The chorus "It's easy to live, どうせ全て終わるから息をしてみよう" (It's easy to live, let's breathe since everything will eventually end) expresses the idea that living can be an easy task, but getting there is not. The song ultimately ends with the repetition of "It's easy to live, let's take a breath" emphasizing the importance of breathing.

Translated & slightly interpreted by me (Venomous Mist)
I keep on breathing with the intention to disappear
Although I know how much it hurts
To be alive is such a simple thing
Yet to disappear seems much more difficult than expected
Afraid of tomorrow
Afraid of the moment I open my eyes
But I am happy, right?
Telling myself I am strong
Another today of deceiving myself passes by
The present I live in is full of lies
It's easy to live
Everything ends anyway, so I might as well try to breathe
It's easy to live
Today, I am laughing
That must be enough
[original English part]
My hands were shaking with fear from power
There must be another way to words
Everyone is weak
So let's take a deep breath
[/original English part]
It gets unbearable when the lies are piling up
But that's how I protect myself
Until I'm covered in wounds
Telling myself I am strong
Another today of deceiving myself passes by
The present I live in is full of lies
It's easy to live
But if everything ends anyway, I might as well try to breathe
It's easy to live
I wonder if I will laugh today
That's all it takes, isn't it?
For every time I deceive myself I shed a tear
I know that's just a vicious cycle**
But I can't live another way
Please forgive me
I am sorry
I keep on breathing with the intention to disappear
Although I know how much it hurts
The true fear of actually disappearing
Is something nobody has ever told me about
"Listen up. You are still alive."
It's easy to live
Everything ends anyway, so I might as well try to breathe
It's easy to live
Today, I am laughing
That must be enough
It's easy to live (x4)

**The japanese actually translates to sth. like "that's simply how this system works" but I figured what he means is closer to a vicious cycle.

I like dexcore but I wish the singer would sing more with his natural voice than with a guttural voice like he does in this song.
