Lyrics & Translation

[Japanese]

[English]

僕の善意が壊れてゆく前に

Before my goodwill breaks down

君に全部告げるべきだった

I should have told you everything

夜が降りて解けての生活に

In a life where night falls and dissolves

混濁した気持ち掠れる燈

The blurred feelings flicker like a light

仕方がないと受け入れるのなら

If I accept that it can't be helped

それまでだってわかっても

Even if I understand it until then

なんだか割に合わないの 意義がないなんて

Somehow it feels unfair, like it has no meaning

何処にでもあるようなものが

Things that seem to be everywhere

ここにしかないことに気づく

I realize they exist only here

くだらない話でもよくて

Even trivial stories are fine

赤らめた顔また見せて

Show me your blushing face again

故に月は暗い 頭 flight

Therefore the moon is dark, my mind takes flight

今日は櫂を持って

Today I hold the oar

探し物がない 揺れる愛

There's nothing to search for, love sways

隠し持って生きる

Living with hidden burdens

故に月は暗い 頭 flight

Therefore the moon is dark, my mind takes flight

今日は何処も行けず

Today I can't go anywhere

眠る 眠る 新品の朝へ

Sleeping, sleeping, into a brand new morning

孤独 under crying

Loneliness under crying

めんどくさい 線引きのない

It's troublesome, with no clear boundaries

記憶は儚い

Memories are fleeting

昨日にまるで用はない

I have no use for yesterday

故に月は暗い 歪む light

Therefore the moon is dark, the light distorts

明日は何処行こう

Where shall I go tomorrow?

傷ついてる心がわかるのに

Even though I understand a wounded heart

なぜ傷つけてしまうおんなじ跡

Why do I end up hurting the same marks?

エゴといって一括りにしていた

I lumped it all together as ego

僕とあなたの本当 透明に燃えて

The truth between you and me burns transparently

変わりたくって変わらない気持ち

Wanting to change but feelings remain unchanged

形だけ崩れてく

Only the form crumbles

希望の手 離さない 君の幽霊と

I won't let go of hope's hand, with your ghost

孤独から日々を数えたら

If I count the days from loneliness

ひとつの涙に溺れてた

I was drowning in a single tear

くだらないならいっそ壊して

If it's trivial, then just break it

歌の中で自由に生きるから

Because I live freely within the song

Ooh, ooh, la, ah-ah, na-na

Ooh, ooh, la, ah-ah, na-na

Ooh, ooh, la, ah-ah, na, na

Ooh, ooh, la, ah-ah, na, na

Ah-ah, na
