Headache / 頭ン痛 - Eipu

Or, as it is saved on my MP3 player, "teto migraine song".

Original Song + Music Video

Sometimes you listen to a Japanese Vocaloid (well, UTAU-turned-SynthV) song on loop and you just really want to be able to sing an English version. You know. For fun.

As usual, I did not translate this myself: I owe credit to the very helpful Datura (VocaloidLyrics Fandom Wiki) and peachy15 (LyricsTranslate) for providing the actual translations I referenced in putting this together. Liberties were definitely taken in places for rhyming/sound and flow, though hopefully in a good way.

Content warning for lyrics: drug abuse, possibly self-harm?


Barometer's dropping, SOS
And driving me to overdose!

We all blame each other endlessly
Somebody else's problem, reap what you sow
Passing by each other, whispering
"Oh, so now it's not your fault..."

Losing ladder lotteries, it seems
All my endeavours have never worked out for me
So why lie and hide true desires?
There's no point in playing nice

Shaky-shaky-shaky, my heart in my chest
Wavy-wavy-wavy, my vision's all a mess
Pulsing-pulsing-pulsing, the hurt in my head
Won't somebody end me--
HEADSHOT!

BREAKING open my head, won't someone save me
WEE WOO WEE WOO
Ohmygod just kill me!
Veins on fire, it's a painful pyrotechnic
Amped-up distortion

Tylenol or Ibuprofen, Loxoprofen
None of it can help me a bit!
Barometer's dropping, SOS!
And driving me to overdose

[instrumental]

Worthless feedback, unwanted, unwanted
It's already too late, I got it, I got it
Racing thoughts on and on till the dawn
And morning's already here...

Fake a smile and follow along
Something insipid and sappy, well isn't this nice?
In this inoffensive persona
All the deepest and darkest things I feel...
Are bursting out--

GET DOWN
Waking up in a cold sweat, I'm shaking
WEE WOO WEE WOO
Give me just one night's sleep!
Lightning sparks, an electric arc
My nerves are firing off the charts!

[instrumental]

Fragments of sad memories long vanished
Trauma? Yeah right, no thank you
I'd be normal if I weren't so brainwashed
Cash or wisdom, faith or freedom, losing sight of it all...

Hazy-hazy-hazy, inside of my mind
Shaky-shaky-shaky, I'm falling so behind
Gritty-gritty-gritty and grinding away
With gritted teeth I brace for--
HEADSHOT!!!

BREAKING open my head, won't someone save me
WEE WOO WEE WOO
Ohmygod just kill me!
Veins on fire, it's a painful pyrotechnic
Amped-up distortion

Tylenol or Ibuprofen, Loxoprofen
None of it can help me a bit!
Barometer's dropping, SOS!
And driving me to overdose!
My head has become a war zone!
