15 no Yoru (A Night at 15) Songtext:
I spend all my time looking at a textbook of scribbles,
and outside
in the sky above the ultra tall buildings, I see unreachable dreams.
I want to bust down the door to feelings with no outlet
smoking a cigarette behind the schoolhouse,
if I'm found out, nowhere to run
crouching in a heap, with my back to them,
I glare at the adults that have no idea how I feel.
and my pals are making plans to run away from home tonight
for now, I just don't wanna go back to school or home.
A night at 15,
when I'm shivering unsure even what I'm doing here.
I race off on a stolen motorcycle, no destination in mind
into the pall of the dark night,
escaping into this night, 'cause I don't wanna be bound by anyone
A night at 15 when I felt I was free.

a cold wind, my cold body I long for human contact
I race by the side of the house of that dreamer,
whsipering goodbye to her
the one shining thing in the darkness, a vending machine
warmth you can buy for a 100 yen coin, I grip the hot can of coffee
I don't how this romance will turn out
but I'm always dreaming of my future with her.
the adults are always telling me "get rid of your heart, get rid of it"
but I don't wanna.
if all we are is some boring classes,
whatta tiny, whatta meaningless whatta powerless
night at 15
I race off on a stolen motorcycle, no destination in mind
into the pall of the dark night,
I smoke a cigarette I just learned how to, looking at the starry sky
Night at 15 I kept searching for freedom,

I race off on a stolen motorcycle, no destination in mind
into the pall of the dark night,
escaping into this night, 'cause I don't wanna be bound by anyone
A night at 15 when I felt I was free.

Translator's Notes: The title gave me some problems. Obviously the meaning is "a night when I was fifteen years old" but it's tough to come up with something short and to the point. I hope we did alright.
