[English]

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

Without overthinking difficult things, I always just ignore them

Even though I get hurt by casual words

You’re the one struggling to use words correctly

Someone somewhere is crying

Even I have nights I want to cry

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

"Please don’t dislike me"

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

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

I want to tell you important things with words

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

Let’s eat warm food before it gets cold

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

Good morning, just as I am

Your world—the only world

Keeps expanding today as well

Unwakeable dreams and pathetic reality

Just turn into scenery

Your world—the only world

Keeps expanding today as well

Not anyone else

You hold a simple miracle

Please enjoy this fragile, hybrid delight

The need for approval becomes its food

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

I don’t know though

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

As long as you understand others’ warmth

That’s enough

It’s okay if you don’t hate foolishness

Your world—the only world

Keeps expanding today as well

Unwakeable dreams and pathetic realities

Just turn into scenery

Let’s eat warm food before it gets cold

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

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

For now, let’s live today

Good morning, just as I am

Your world—the only world

Keeps expanding today as well

Let’s stop here with the difficult stuff

Get ready, soak up the sunlight

Finish breakfast and move on

[Japanese]

関係ない 居ない目の前に居ない人を救う？

難しいことは考えずにいつだってスルー

何気ない言葉に傷つくくせに

あなたこそ正しく言葉を使えずにいる

どこかで泣いてる人が居る

私だって泣きたい夜もある

どうなったって僕のせいでもいいから

「嫌わないでほしい」

愛想ばっかで芯を食った人がただ減る

簡単なことでも考えられずいつだってスルー

大事な事を言葉で伝えたいのに

いざって時にどう言っていいかわかんない

冷めないうちにあったかいご飯を食べよう

行ってきますとご先祖に手を合わせよう

私らしく「おはよう」

あなただけの世界がだけの世界が

今日も広がっていく

醒めない夢も情けない現実も

ただ景色になっていく

あなただけの世界がだけの世界が

今日も広がっていく

他の誰でもない

何でもない奇跡をあなたは持っている

脆いハイブリッドな嗜好品をどうぞ

承認欲求が餌になっていく

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

知らんけど

馬鹿でも良いんだ阿呆でも良いんだ

人のあったかい処をわかっていれば良い

わかっていれば良い

愚かさを嫌わなければ良い

あなただけの世界がだけの世界が

今日も広がっていく

醒めない夢も情けない現実も

ただ景色になっていく

冷めないうちにあったかいご飯を食べよう

行ってきますとご先祖に手を合わせよう

戻れないあの香りが漂ってきたら

とりあえず今日を生きよう

私らしく「おはよう」

あなただけの世界がだけの世界が

今日も広がっていく

難しいことはここらでやめて

身支度を済ませて日の光を浴びて

朝食を済ませていく
