For the folks who couldn't understand this [http://cec-ramble.blogspot.com/2011/08/rewrite-asian-fung-fu-generation.html] post back in August, I just found an English cover of the song. Not as good as the original, and the translation takes some creative license, but it's fairly close in concept to the original, based on the translations I've seen.
The reason I want to spit out these sentiments
Is I have no other proof I even exist
My future that I thought I’d managed to grasp
Is a contradiction of all I though that I had
The reason I want this old image erased
Is I see my limits and I’m out of place
In the window of my own self consciousness
I see last year’s calendar with no dates on it
Now I, I rewrite all these worthless visions
And I’ll be unforgettable
Come to life and rewrite all my bad ideas
I will make them disappear before your eyes
I cut off all my youthful feelings year after year
After all they don’t mean much
They’ll soon disappear
This haunted heart, these filthy lies
Now I, I rewrite all these worthless visions
And I’ll be unforgettable
Come to life and rewrite all my bad ideas
I will make them disappear before your eyes
