This song, as you may notice, does not have an English title… that is because I, uh, couldn't really figure one out… The main theme of this song is the word いや(iya) which means a lot of things. Most commonly, it means "no" but it also can mean "terrible" "bad" or as an adverb, to do something reluctantly or something you're not happy about. The drawn out version, いいや, can give the impression of a petulant child… I tried my best to interpret the meaning of the word throughout the lyrics.

Welcome to this foreign world

When we get there, I’ll give it to you: the coolest item ever! But to receive it, you have to defeat me It’s the mark of a true hero

Go defeat tons of monsters Go defeat them in this growing wasteland Once you realize what’s happening, you’ll become God You created these people

This ridiculous world with its egotistical landscapes is so self-centered, such a boring world!

Yeah, yeah, I’m alive, begrudgingly. Yeah, yeah, that’s right: there’s something wrong with me I am terrible. No, it’s this place that is terrible; the world I was born into

I’m leveling (up) with reality…[1] NOT! I’ve got a strong ranking…[1] NOT! And if I do, well, It’s probably just my delusions

Since I was born, I guess there must be some value to me But I’ll always yearn for other fantasy worlds

Yeah, yeah, I’m alive, begrudgingly. Yeah, yeah, that’s right: there’s something wrong with me I am terrible. No, it’s this place that is terrible! Happiness is the best Yeah, yeah, I’m alive, begrudgingly. Yeah, yeah, that’s right: there’s something wrong with me I am terrible. No, it’s this place that is terrible; the world I was born into
