Original Lyrics: 50% Lyrics (Romanized)
1.To live without regrets, to live in a way you can be proud of—that’s a fine sentiment,
2.But even if you steel yourself for it,
3.If enduring stress and pushing through is supposed to be the pinnacle of beauty,
4.Then maybe it’s time to take a breather here.5.
6.There’s no obligation to compete—no ring, no racecourse.
7.And maybe that’s why there’s happiness to be found in its absence.8.
9.I’d like to live at 50%, but somehow, it’s like you’re only allowed to be at 100%.
10.Oh, when was it that we learned that?
11.Snapping back to my senses, only to mess up again right away, repeating the cycle until I’m worn out.
12.Until I burn to ash—isn’t that just ridiculous?13.

14.The slow life I dreamed of vanished like bubbles, slipping into a day off, only to be rattled by someone else’s shining success.
15.Growing restless, regretting, getting frustrated with the status quo, unable to sleep until morning, falling into the habit of flipped days and nights.
16.“I can’t afford to stand still,” I think as I force myself to move.
17.Hopping onto a treadmill that runs faster than I can handle,
18.Tripping, catching a cold, unable to even manage myself—
19.What could I possibly hope to achieve like this?
20.No, I won’t say that! Let’s aim to avoid breaking down too much. There’s no ready, set, go—or finish line, no records to break in this life.
21.I want to love that kind of life too.
22.But still, modern society doesn’t let us off the hook.
23.When you’ve got no choice but to push forward to survive,
24.At least set the limit at 80%.. I don’t care about winning or losing anymore.
25.I just want to keep doing what I truly enjoy, for as long as I can.26.
27.There’s no obligation to compete—no ring, no racecourse.
28.And maybe that’s why there’s happiness to be found in its absence.29.
30.I’d like to live at 50%, but somehow, it’s like you’re only allowed to be at 100%.
31.Oh, when was it that we learned that?
32.Snapping back to my senses, only to mess up again right away, repeating the cycle until I’m worn out.
33.Until I burn to ash—why does it have to be this way?34.
35.But hey, aren’t you maybe carrying too much on your shoulders? And yet, it’s not like you want to put it all down, is it?
36.Don’t forget to check in with your own body—it seems like that’s the key.
37.Loosen up the knots in your heart, and then, Oh,
38.Starting today, let’s settle at 50% as our baseline!39.
40.Hormones, gut-brain connection, the stress-fatigued autonomic nervous system—take care of it all with a warm hug.
41.Be mindful of your whole self.
42.Rest up, prepare yourself, and then, just when it really matters, unleash your 100%!43.
44.I’d like to live at 50%, but somehow, it’s like you’re only allowed to be at 100%.
45.Oh, when was it that we learned that?
46.Snapping back to my senses, only to mess up again right away, repeating the cycle until I’m worn out.
47.Until I burn to ash—why does it have to be this way?48.
49.But hey, aren’t you maybe carrying too much on your shoulders? And yet, it’s not like you want to put it all down, is it?
50.Don’t forget to check in with your own body—it seems like that’s the key.
51.Loosen up the knots in your heart, and then, Oh,
52.Starting today, let’s settle at 50% as our baseline!

1.後悔のないように 誰かに誇れるように 生きてみようだなんて
2.奮い立つのは良いけど
3.ストレスがあっても 耐え抜く事こそが美学だなんて言うなら
4.ここでひと息つこう5.
6.競争の義務はない リングもコースもない
7.だからこそ手にする幸せもあるんだろう8.
9.[50]パーで生きたいのにね [100]じゃなきゃダメなんて
10.Oh いつ教わったんだっけ?と
11.我に返って 割とすぐにまた間違えてを繰り返して すり減るまで
12.灰になるまで 悪かねえ なわけがねえ!13.
14.泡と消えたスローライフ 滑り込んだ休日に 誰かの輝いてる姿に
15.勝手に焦り悔やみ 現状に苛立ち 眠れぬまま朝になる 昼夜逆転が癖になる
16.立ち止まってる場合じゃないと重い腰を動かし
17.身の丈に合わない速度のトレッドミルに乗っかり
18.転び 風邪ひき 自己管理も出来ない自分に
19.何を成し遂げられると言うのだろう?
20.なんて言わない! あまり病まないように よーいドン!もゴールもない
21.記録もない人生も愛したい
22.とはいえ現代社会しゃあない
23.生きてくためにやらないわけにいかない時はせめて
24.[80]パーくらいを上限にしよう もう負けとかどうでもいいよ
25.自分のやりたい事だけ永く続けたい!26.
27.競争の義務はない リングもコースもない
28.だからこそ手にする幸せもあるんだろう29.

31.Oh いつ教わったんだっけ?と
32.我に返って 割とすぐにまた間違えてを繰り返して すり減るまで
33.灰になるまで なぜかねえ34.
35.ってかきっと背負い込み過ぎていない? でも下ろしたいわけじゃない?
36.自分の身体への問いかけを忘れてはいけない そう言う事みたい
37.心の肩こりを緩めたならさあ Oh
38.改めて今日から俺らは50%定位置で!39.
40.ホルモン腸脳関係 ジャンク疲れの自律神経 労って熱いハグで
41.全体気をつけんで
42.休んで備えて ここぞでだけで 放って君の[100]%!!!43.
44.[50]パーで生きたいのにね [100]じゃなきゃダメなんて
