NGT48 – Jounetsu no dengen. Lyrics Meaning: Don’t Unplug Your Dreams

空き地の隅にずっと放置されてた
型の古い誰かの冷蔵庫には
何が入っていたのだろう

どんな夢もいつか腐ってしまう
だからこんな場所に廃棄したのか？
通り過ぎた日々よ

僕は　今誓った　胸の奥の大事なもの
情熱の電源を落としはしない
いつ扉　開けても　ずっと変わることなく
憧れた生き方はあの頃のまま
Refrigerator
「子供の頃から　何でもこの中に入れた」
Refrigerator
「いつまでも劣化することがないと思っていたから」
Refrigerator
「大人になって気づいた　それは永遠じゃないってことを…」
動き続ける

この歳になって　なぜか知りたくなったんだ
冷蔵庫の中に残されてたもの
僕はこっそりと開けてみた

誰も触れようとはしなかった過去
何をここの中に隠したんだろう？
宝物は何だ？

僕は　ときめいてる　いつの間にか見失った
忘却は思い出のサーモスタット
錆びついた棚には　ただのゴミしかなくて
あるいは今　僕は見えてないのか？
Keep moving
「どこかで電源が切れてしまったのかもしれない」
Keep moving
「ずっと　情熱は持っていたはずなのに」
Keep moving
「僕は　もうあの頃の僕じゃなくなってしまった」
動いていない

頭の隅　気に掛けてた
純粋な僕自身
入れっぱなしで腐らせてないか？

僕は　今誓った　胸の奥の大事なもの
情熱の電源を落としはしない
いつ扉　開けても　ずっと変わることなく
憧れた生き方はあの頃のまま
Refrigerator
「子供の頃から　何でもこの中に入れた」
Refrigerator
「いつまでも劣化することがないと思っていたから」
Refrigerator
「大人になって気づいた　それは永遠じゃないってことを…」
動き続ける

あの青春のエネルギー
ああ　もう一度

It was left abandoned in a corner of an empty lot for a long time.
Inside someone’s old-fashioned refrigerator,
I wonder what was kept there.

Every dream eventually spoils, doesn’t it?
Is that why it was discarded in a place like this?
Oh, the days that have passed by.

I’ve made a promise now, for something precious deep in my heart:
I won’t turn off the power to my passion.
No matter when I open the door, it will always remain unchanged,
The way of life I admired, just as it was back then.
Refrigerator
“From when I was a child, I put everything inside here.”
Refrigerator
“Because I thought it would never deteriorate, no matter how long it stayed.”
Refrigerator
“When I became an adult, I realized… that it wasn’t forever.”
It keeps moving.

Now that I’m this old, for some reason, I really wanted to know
What was left inside that refrigerator.
I secretly opened it up.

A past no one dared to touch.
What did I hide in here, I wonder?
What is that treasure?

My heart is throbbing, for something I’d lost sight of somewhere along the way.
Forgetfulness is the thermostat of memories.
On the rusty shelves, there’s only trash,
Or maybe I just can’t see it right now?
Keep moving
“Maybe the power got cut off somewhere.”
Keep moving
“Even though I definitely had passion all along…”
Keep moving
“I’m not the person I was back then anymore.”
It’s not moving.

Something that’s been on my mind, tucked away in a corner of my head,
My pure self.
Have I left it in there, just letting it spoil?

I’ve made a promise now, for something precious deep in my heart:
I won’t turn off the power to my passion.
No matter when I open the door, it will always remain unchanged,
The way of life I admired, just as it was back then.
Refrigerator
“From when I was a child, I put everything inside here.”
Refrigerator
“Because I thought it would never deteriorate, no matter how long it stayed.”
Refrigerator
“When I became an adult, I realized… that it wasn’t forever.”
It keeps moving.

That energy of youth,
Ah, just one more time.
