[English]

My wrinkled T-shirt gets soaked with tears

Pain has overwritten the pain

But the twisted guitar feels quite good

It helps to drown out the pain

The super hero who saved me

Is the music that never stops playing

Here in the corner of this tiny planet, we’re alive

If you give up, just pick it up again

I want to believe I’ve become a little stronger now

Yeah, I’ve overcome the pain too

Because the present exists thanks to the past

Living this wonderful life, I’ll go all out

...

Before I knew it, the window outside was brightening

What was I even doing?

I can’t just not expect anything, that’s impossible

Nothing but things that go wrong

I draw pictures on spilled coffee stains

And voilà, the magic carpet is complete

I want to travel all the way to the far reaches of this universe

Though I know I probably can’t do that

It’s like a flower blooming just to wither someday

Yeah, bloom wildly where you’ve been placed

Goodbye to maggots and pests

Living this wonderful life, we want to keep going

...

I even want to see a hundred years into the future

It’s the first time I’ve thought like this

My vision sparkles, and the night room shines too

I’ll overcome anything that comes my way

Packed with so many interesting things

This can’t just end without knowing

Here in this small corner of the planet, we’re alive

If you give up, just pick it up again

I want to believe I’ve grown a little stronger now

Yeah, I’ve overcome the pain too

Because the past exists, and so does now

Living this wonderful life, I’ll give it my all

...

[Japanese]

ヨレた Tシャツがね 涙で濡れていく

痛みを痛みが上書いた

でも歪んだギターが 心地がいいのです

痛みを掻き消してくれる

僕を救ってくれたスーパーヒーローは

永遠に鳴り止まない音楽たち

この小さな惑星の隅っこで僕らは生きてるんだ

匙を投げたならすぐ拾えばいいだろ

今の僕は少し強くなってると信じてみたいもんです

そうだ 痛みも乗り越えてきたんだ

過去があって今があるさ

素晴らしき人生、ぶちかましていくのさ

気づけば窓の外は 明るくなってんだ

一体何をしていたっけ

期待しないのなんて 出来るわけがなくて

うまくいかないことばっかり

溢したコーヒーの跡に絵を描いて

魔法の絨毯がほら完成じゃん

この大きな宇宙の彼方までも旅してみたいんだ

そんなことは僕ができるわけがないけど

いつか枯れるために咲いた花のようなものだから

そうだ 置かれた場所で咲きまくれ

蛆虫なんておさらばだぜ

素晴らしき人生、僕ら生きていたいんだよ

一世紀先までも見てみたいと思う

こんな風に思うことは初めてだ

視界がきらめいて夜部屋も輝いて

何だって乗り越えてやるよ

面白いもの沢山詰まっている

知らないまま終わっちゃうわけいかない

この小さな惑星の隅っこで僕らは生きてるんだ

匙を投げたならすぐ拾えばいいだろ

今の僕は少し強くなってると信じてみたいもんです

そうだ 痛みも乗り越えてきたんだ

過去があって今があるさ

素晴らしき人生、ぶちかましていくのさ
