「Daybreak Gunslinger」is one of my favourite songs off the new album 🤠 It’s a passionate song about keeping strong to your heart and beliefs as you try and achieve your goal, never wavering like the aim of the cowboys gun.
(Claire has a soft spot for passionate songs with creative imagery, can you tell?)
Original Japanese: Utaten
English Translation
It all started the moment I opened my eyes
I won’t look back I’m a gunslinger
If I keep moving forward into the mist I’ll shoot down my targets
I throw away my wicked thoughts amongst the worthless trash
The devil that lives nestled in my heart whispers
“Let’s do do this the easy way” “You’re gonna mess it up anyway”
I’m my own rival
bang bang Fire away
The sound of my dancing heart
Instantly releases my emotions
bang bang Dancing in the sky
Passion becomes my bullets
Oh- Oh-
bang bang The World
It’s right in front of me, it’s within my grasp
Because I won’t run, because I won’t give up
bang bang The future
I’ll shoot it down Gunslinger
Sad things fall with the rain
I head towards brighter things, to sunny places
Stumbling sometimes and redoing things too
I’m a gunslinger that keeps going without losing spirit
I’m in no hurry to where my heart leads me
It must point me along the road to truth
If it says it then it must be so
bang bang Echoing
My aim is just the same as that day
Because I’ve overcome the worst now
bang bang Always
There is no such thing as an endless night
Oh- Oh-
bang bang The wind
My body and soul ride along
The scent of youth is burnt into my chest
bang bang That’s right
You’re a gunslinger too
I don’t want to see a time where
A cold wind blows every day and I stand around and do nothing
Clumsy as I am, the aim of my pistol
Hasn’t wavered until now
bang bang Fire away
The sound of my dancing heart
Instantly releases my emotions
bang bang Dancing in the sky
Passion becomes my bullets
Oh- Oh-
bang bang The World
It’s right in front of me, it’s within my grasp
Because I won’t run, because I won’t give up
bang bang The future
I’ll shoot it down Gunslinger
