Lyrics & Translation

[Japanese]

[English]

関係ない 居ない目の前に居ない人を救う？

Unrelated, there’s no one in front of me—saving someone who’s not here?

難しいことは考えずにいつだってスルー

Without overthinking difficult things, I always just ignore them

何気ない言葉に傷つくくせに

Even though I get hurt by casual words

あなたこそ正しく言葉を使えずにいる

You’re the one struggling to use words correctly

どこかで泣いてる人が居る

Someone somewhere is crying

私だって泣きたい夜もある

Even I have nights I want to cry

どうなったって僕のせいでもいいから

Whatever happens, I’ll be okay even if it’s my fault

「嫌わないでほしい」

"Please don’t dislike me"

愛想ばっかで芯を食った人がただ減る

People who only act friendly and miss the point just keep decreasing

簡単なことでも考えられずいつだってスルー

Even simple things, I can’t think about them, so I always ignore

大事な事を言葉で伝えたいのに

I want to tell you important things with words

いざって時にどう言っていいかわかんない

But when the moment comes, I don’t know what to say

冷めないうちにあったかいご飯を食べよう

Let’s eat warm food before it gets cold

行ってきますとご先祖に手を合わせよう

Let’s say "I'm off" and bow to our ancestors

私らしく「おはよう」

Good morning, just as I am

あなただけの世界がだけの世界が

Your world—the only world

今日も広がっていく

Keeps expanding today as well

醒めない夢も情けない現実も

Unwakeable dreams and pathetic reality

ただ景色になっていく

Just turn into scenery

あなただけの世界がだけの世界が

Your world—the only world

今日も広がっていく

Keeps expanding today as well

他の誰でもない

Not anyone else

何でもない奇跡をあなたは持っている

You hold a simple miracle

脆いハイブリッドな嗜好品をどうぞ

Please enjoy this fragile, hybrid delight

承認欲求が餌になっていく

The need for approval becomes its food

強気も良いけど僕はちょっとヒビが入ってるくらいがいいぜ

Being confident is good, but I like a little crack in me

知らんけど

I don’t know though

馬鹿でも良いんだ阿呆でも良いんだ

It’s okay to be stupid, okay to be foolish

人のあったかい処をわかっていれば良い

As long as you understand others’ warmth

わかっていれば良い

That’s enough

愚かさを嫌わなければ良い

It’s okay if you don’t hate foolishness

あなただけの世界がだけの世界が

Your world—the only world

今日も広がっていく

Keeps expanding today as well

醒めない夢も情けない現実も

Unwakeable dreams and pathetic realities

ただ景色になっていく

Just turn into scenery

冷めないうちにあったかいご飯を食べよう

Let’s eat warm food before it gets cold

行ってきますとご先祖に手を合わせよう

Say "I’m off" and bow to our ancestors

戻れないあの香りが漂ってきたら

When that scent that can’t be returned to drifts in

とりあえず今日を生きよう

For now, let’s live today

私らしく「おはよう」

Good morning, just as I am

あなただけの世界がだけの世界が

Your world—the only world

今日も広がっていく

Keeps expanding today as well

難しいことはここらでやめて

Let’s stop here with the difficult stuff

身支度を済ませて日の光を浴びて

Get ready, soak up the sunlight

朝食を済ませていく

Finish breakfast and move on
