SOULSOUP – Official Hige Dandism Lyrics （English translation + Romanization）

声すら失うような 絶望味のスープを
koe sura ushinau youna zetsubou aji no suupu wo
The desperate flavored soup that makes you speechless
(※This line introduces the central metaphor of the song: a soup with a flavor of despair so intense it leaves one speechless. It symbolizes the overwhelming challenges and difficulties in life.)
(絶望 (Zetsubou) – Despair:This term sets the tone of the song, emphasizing the feeling of hopelessness or deep sorrow. It’s a powerful word often used in Japanese literature and music to convey intense emotional states.)

一生に小なくとも一杯 飲まなくちゃならないみたいだ
Isshou ni sukunaku tomo ippai nomana kucha naranai mitai da
It seems like we have to drink one bowl of it at least once in our lifetime
(※Here, the lyrics suggest that everyone must face significant hardships at least once. It’s a universal experience, unavoidable and part of human life.)

怠惰や弱音を混ぜた 自家製の大ピンチが
Taida ya yowane wo mazeta jikasei no dai pinch ga
A homemade big pinch of laziness and complaints mixed in
(※The “homemade pinch” indicates personal crises or struggles, perhaps self-inflicted or exacerbated by one’s own flaws like laziness and complaining. It reflects on how personal attitudes can contribute to life’s difficulties.)
(怠惰 (Taida) – Laziness:A critical term in these lyrics, representing personal flaws or weaknesses. In Japanese culture, there’s often a focus on discipline and diligence, making ‘taida’ a term indicating a lack of these valued traits.)
