^ the problem is that english and japanese are like polar opposite languages at times, so accurate translations (particularly when it comes to poetical thing such as lyrics) are uber-hard to translate well...
i have endeavoured to retain as much of the original as possible whilst at the same time producing something natural-sounding to english speakers...
personally, i would translate the line
i crouched down and turned my back away from everything
even though the original is
i turned my back away from everything and crouched down
as i find the former to sound better stylistically but it's obviously open to interpretation and everyone will have a different take on it... plus, it's unfortunately half a decade since i've been translating japanese professionally, so i'm rusty as hell :-/
