Adapting Translations of the Lyrics to "+REVERSE" by niki

Recently, for whatever reason, I've been listening to the song "+REVERSE" by niki. I looked at the lyrics on the wikis and didn't find any to be satisfactory. I'm not fluent in Japanese but I do understand a lot of words and phrases. I also have several translation aids/resources. Here I've put the wiki translations next to my adapted translation. I say "adapted" because I've altered certain words or tenses so that some of the passages make sense. Some of it is written so the syllables match up, some of it isn't. For some parts to match I would have to add whole new lines. Anyway, I just wanted to share it.

Translation by BerrySubs


Within mingling times, at the very end,
End very the at, times mingling within,
I get lost and cry with the things I feel.
Misreprentation with answers my muddy I.

"I hate you," I say.
"I hate you," I say, (That's why...)
"I hate you," I say. (That's why...)
That's why

So as to not go against
The flow of time,
Live reasonably...
Die and cry...
Yes, I'll be washed away.
I'll be washed away.
I'll be washed away.
I'll be washed away.
I will drown.

Past the with future entombed the exchanging,
Exchanging the entombed future with the past,
My cowardly voice described now,
Forced I things the with what hid and.

That is...
That is... (Weak...)
That is... (Weak...)
(Me...) Love. .
That’s why

So as to not go against
The flow of time...
Scaredy-cat me
Gets lost and cries...
Yes, I'm being washed away.
I'm being washed away.
I'm being washed away.
I'm being washed away.
I'm going on living...
And with that....
That’s why

So as to not go against
The fact that I'm being born...
At the time when I realized
That I was being loved,
I'm being washed away.
I'm being washed away.
I'm being washed away.
I'm being washed away.
I am living.
That's why... That's why...
Translation by Anime Lyrics


At the end when we mix together
At the end when we mix together
I wander with feelings and shout
I prepare an answer by avoiding...

saying "No way" ...
saying "No way" (like that) ...
saying "No way" (like that)
That's why...

In the flow of time
It seems that I can't go against it
So I naturally live...
I cry, I die...
That's how it flows
It flows,
it flows
It flows
and drowns

Burying future intersects with the past
Burying future intersects with the past
My scared voice draws the present
With pressure, I hid something

That is
That is (weak)
That is (weak)
(It's me) The love
And so...

In the flow of time
It seems that we can't go against it...
We cowards
Are lost and crying...
That's how it flows
It flows,
it flows
It flows,
and is alive
So...
And so...

In being born
It seems that I can't go against it...
When I realized it
By being loved
I was being washed away,
washed away
Washed away,
washed away
Because I'm alive...
And so... And so...
“+REVERSE” by niki
Adapted Translation by sketchesofpayne

Coming together for the final time
The final time for coming together
I’m lost and crying out with emotion
I have no answers for this confusion

“I hate this”
“I hate this” (That is why...)
“I hate this” (That is why...)
That is why...

We cannot defy
The flow of time
We live a proper life...
We die, we cry...
And I’m always swept away
I’m always swept away
I’m always swept away
I’m always swept away
Until I’m drowning

Our future is buried in the past
The buried past is in our future
My timid voice describes our present
What is it that makes us hide?

That is my
That is my (Weak...)
That is my (Weak...)
That's my love
That is why..

We cannot defy
The flow of time
All of us shrink in fear
We stray, we weep
And we’re all drifting away
We’re all drifting away
We’re all drifting away
We’re all drifting away
Yet we still survive
As it’s so...
That is why...

I cannot deny
Since I was born
The realization that I’ve been loved
Something I now recognize
And I’m always swept away
I’m always swept away
I’m always swept away
I’m always swept away
But I’m still alive
That is why… That is why...
