Lyrics & Translation

[English]

I spent this week without leaving the house, not even a single step.

Even though I'm finally doing well, I...

...with the thought that I'm still here,

I can't move.

For today, which will never return,

I want to shout "I want to see you."

My heart and I walked quietly.

At the hospital where I left my treatment, I saw

cherry blossoms in the rain, deeply affecting my emotions.

I feel the wind swirling.

This light is strong, but

I can keep my eyes open.

Someone who would accept me no matter what anyone said.

I know a man like that.

Flashbacks

Flowers surrounding us

On Shiohama beach,

Nate and I walked in black clothes.

I'm scared that a tomorrow meant only for me will continue.

I want to keep smiling even if everyone else is gone besides me.

My parents' remains, gazed upon by eyes that recall faint outlines.

I quickly realized that even if I awkwardly held them, I couldn't find their heart.

So, simple words,

won't be left behind.

I'll sing like love.

It's lonely, isn't it?

Someday you'll realize that's all you need.

Carried by the times,

I long for love again.

Stories that will never grow again,

and the wind passing through the two of us.

It's just like us to lose each other before we can say "thank you."

The light that dries the never-ending rain.

Divine.

With this song, I send peace from this narrow world.

If you find strength there, then we too will be revealed.

A beating heart,

it's easy to stop it too.

I'll just keep waiting for the answer someone is about to give.

Before the night breaks, as I go to return the Rhyhorn I borrowed.

Reality won't let me escape.

Despair rises again.

As if you were watching beside me, not teaching.

We swayed our heads to the same song, wearing different shirts.

Standing on the track

Leaning into someone's loneliness,

I want to live a life not bound by the past.

Forgive us.

I gazed at that farmer's back,

which suited being alone so well.

Today I learned that despair is just like everyday life.

Day to Night

Not a single ideal,

only my life won't end.

I want to confirm the reason.

That's why I can't get off.

Pedals turning.

From light and shadow in Tokyo's wasteland,

I can't go on anymore,

I held onto that feeling in my heart.

Carried by the times,

I long for love again.

Stories that will never grow again,

and the wind passing through the two of us.

It's just like us to lose each other before we can say "thank you."

The light that dries the never-ending rain.

Let's go see them.

Carried by the times,

I long for love again.

Stories that will never grow again,

and the wind passing through the two of us.

It's just like us to lose each other before we can say "thank you."

The light that dries the never-ending rain.

Divine.

[Japanese]

今週も一歩も出かけることなく、過ごしましたとさ。

せっかく調子いいのに俺は

まだここだって思いで

動けない

二度と戻らない今日を

会いたいと叫びたい

心と静かに歩いた

治療を残してきた病院で見た

雨の桜は濃く感情の上に

風が巻くのを感じる

この光は強いけど

目を開けていられる

誰に何を言われても認めてくれる

そんな男のことを俺は知ってる

Flashbacks

囲まれた花

塩浜の海岸を

ネイトと二人黒い服で歩いた

俺だけにやる明日が続いていくのが怖いと

俺以外誰にもいなくなっても笑っていたいと

線画を呼ぶ目で覗き込んでる親の亡骸

下手に抱き上げても心は見つけられないことはすぐ分かった

だから簡単な言葉

置き去りない

愛みたいに歌うよ

寂しいよな

だけでいいってこともいつか知るよ

時代に運ばれ

また愛に憧れるよ

二度と増えないストーリーと

風は抜けていく二人を

ありがとう言う前には会えなくなったりするのも俺たちらしい

今も止まらない雨を乾かす光

神々しい

顔はこの曲で狭い世界からピースを贈ります

そっちで元気を出してくれたら俺らも明らかです

動かす心臓

止めるのも簡単なこと

誰かが出そうとしてる答えをただ待ち続けるよ

今借りたライモン返しに向かう夜を開ける前に

現実が俺を逃がしはしない

また上がる失意

教えるわけじゃなく隣で見ていてくれたようにと

別々のシャツで同じ曲で首を振ってた

Standing on the track

誰かの孤独に寄り添って

過去に囚われない生き方がしたい

俺らを許して

あの農家

一人がよく似合う背中を眺めた

絶望は日常と同じだってことを今日覚えた

Day to Night

理想の1つもない

俺のライフだけが終わらない

理由を確かめたい

だから降りれない

回すペダル

東京の荒野に光と影から

これ以上は無理だって

いう心を抱きしめてた

時代に運ばれ

また愛に憧れるよ

二度と増えないストーリーと

風は抜けていく二人を

ありがとう言う前には会えなくなったりするのも俺たちらしい

今も止まらない雨を乾かす光

会いに行こう

時代に運ばれ

また愛に憧れるよ

二度と増えないストーリーと

風は抜けていく二人を

ありがとう言う前には会えなくなったりするのも俺たちらしい

今も止まらない雨を乾かす光

神々しい

Key Grammar Structures

• 今週も一歩も出かけることなく、過ごしましたとさ。

  ➔ Verb + ことなく (without doing ~)

  ➔ This expression indicates that an action or state continues "ことなく" (without) a particular action being performed. Here, "出かける" means "to go out", so "出かける""ことなく" means "without going out".

• せっかく調子いいのに俺は

  ➔ せっかく～のに (despite the effort/opportunity~)

  ➔ This phrase indicates that despite a special effort, a good opportunity, or a fortunate circumstance ("調子いい" - feeling good), the expected positive outcome did not occur, often with a sense of regret or disappointment.

• まだここだって思いで

  ➔ ～だって思いで (with the thought that ~)

  ➔ "だ" is a casual form of "である" or "です". "って" is a casual quotation particle. The phrase indicates that the action is driven by the "思い" (thought/feeling) that "まだここ""だ" (still here).

• 会いたいと叫びたい

  ➔ Verb (stem) + たい (want to do ~)

  ➔ This expresses the speaker's desire. "会いたい" means "want to meet", and "叫びたい" means "want to shout". The "と" here functions as a quotation particle, indicating what one wants to shout.

• 風が巻くのを感じる

  ➔ ～のを感じる (feel that ~ / feel ~ [nominalized clause])

  ➔ The particle "の" nominalizes the preceding clause ("風が巻く" - the wind swirls), allowing it to act as a noun or noun phrase. This nominalized phrase then becomes the direct object of the verb "感じる" (to feel).

• 誰に何を言われても認めてくれる

  ➔ ～てくれる (someone does something for me/us)

  ➔ This auxiliary verb indicates that an action is performed for the benefit of the speaker or the speaker's group. "認めて""くれる" means "to acknowledge/accept (for me/us)".

• 俺だけにやる明日が続いていくのが怖いと

  ➔ ～ていく (to continue to~) & ～のが怖い (it's scary that~)

  ➔ "続いて""いく" means "will continue to go on/proceed". The particle "の" nominalizes the entire preceding clause "明日が続いていく" (tomorrow will continue), making it the subject of the adjective "怖い" (scary). This structure expresses what the speaker is afraid of.

• 下手に抱き上げても心は見つけられないことはすぐ分かった

  ➔ ～ても (even if ~) & ～ことは分かった (understood that ~)

  ➔ "抱き上げ""ても" means "even if I pick it up". This grammar pattern expresses a condition that, even if met, does not change the outcome. "～""ことはすぐ分かった" is a common pattern to express understanding "the fact that~".

• 時代に運ばれ また愛に憧れるよ

  ➔ ～に運ばれ (to be carried by ~ [passive voice])

  ➔ "運ばれ" is the 連用形 (continuative form) of "運ばれる", the passive form of "運ぶ" (to carry). The particle "に" indicates the agent (who or what performs the action) in a passive sentence. Here, it means "to be carried by the ""時代"" (era/time)".

• ありがとう言う前には会えなくなったりするのも俺たちらしい

  ➔ ～たりする (do things like ~) & ～らしい (seems like/characteristic of ~)

  ➔ "会えなくなっ""たりする" indicates that becoming unable to meet is one example among several possible actions or states. "～""らしい" expresses that something is characteristic of, typical of, or seems to be like the subject ("俺たち" - us).
