English Translation
yu-re-ru Mind
No need to hide it
I feel the rules start breaking
ku-ru-shii no?
Imma shatter chains now
Don’t wanna fake it again
A wavering mind
No need to hide it
I feel the rules start breaking
Does it hurt?
I’mma shatter these chains now
Don’t wanna fake it again
I’m so done with all your rules
I’m so done with all your rules
I don’t live your way
Uhh
Said, “Be polite” but
da-re-ka no ko-to o nan-ka ko-pii na mi-chi ja da-me
wa-ta-shi wa shi-ta-ga-wa-na-i
Uhh
They said, “Be polite,” but
I refuse to follow a path that merely copies somebody else
I will not obey
Rule one
Rule two
Rule three, free
Everybody says “Obey, stay the same”
Ah, ku-sa-ri wa ni-a-wa-na-i wa My name
Everybody says, “Obey, stay the same”
Ah, chains could never suit my name
I fly, unafraid
Rewriting my way
Ay
I’m so done with all your rules
Never the same
Never the flame
ya-me-te Tame
Oh i-tsu dat-te Alive
Never the same
Never the flame
Don’t try to tame me
Oh, I’m always alive
a-shi-ta wa Unshakable
ta-da mat-te tat-te Terrible
Tomorrow, I’ll be unshakable
Just waiting around would be terrible
I’m so done with all your rules
I’m so done with all your rules
ka-wa-ri-mo-no tte
me-da-tsu mo-no Woo
so-re ga sei-kai
Ain’t gonna let myself drown in their sorrow
They call me strange
Because I stand out, woo
That means I’m doing it right
Ain’t gonna let myself drown in their sorrow
so-ro-so-ro ji-yuu e
Come on come on come right
Take your pride and ignite
Come on come on
Hey
It’s about time I found freedom
Come on, come on, come right
Take your pride and ignite
Come on, come on
Hey
I rise, unafraid
Rewriting my way
Ay
I’m so done with all your rules
Never the same
Never the flame
ya-me-te Tame
I’m just being me
Never the same
Never the flame
Don’t try to tame me
I’m just being me
a-shi-ta wa Unshakable
ta-da mat-te tat-te Terrible
Tomorrow, I’ll be unshakable
Just waiting around would be terrible
I’m so done with all your rules
I’m so done with all your rules
Why don’t you show what you’re feeling too, huh?
kon-na se-kai de
ji-bun no mi-chi de
ji-bun de mi-ta-i Sky
Oh fate, you’re on my side
Why don’t you show what you’re feeling too, huh?
In a world like this
I’ll follow my own path
And see the sky through my own eyes
Oh fate, you’re on my side
I’m so done with all your rules
I’m so done with all your rules
I’m so done with all your rules
🎵 Song Meaning & Interpretation

The lyrics reject conformity, imitation, and the pressure to obey rules that erase individuality. Refusing to hide discomfort or follow someone else’s path, the narrator breaks free from expectations and chooses to define her own future. Being called strange or standing out becomes proof that she is living honestly, while freedom demands action rather than passive waiting. Her rebellion is rooted in authentic identity, fearless liberation, and the resolve to rise without allowing society to tame her.
