Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

教えて　教えてよ

Tell me, tell me please

その仕組みを

About how it works

僕の中に誰がいるの？

Who is inside of me?

壊れた　壊れたよ

It's broken, it's broken

この世界で

In this world

君が笑う

You smile

何も見えずに

Seeing nothing

壊れた僕なんてさ

A broken me, you see

息を止めて

Holding my breath

ほどけない　もう　ほどけないよ

Cannot untie, no, I can't undo it anymore

真実さえ

Even the truth

freeze

freezes

壊せる　壊せない 狂える　狂えない

Can break, can't break, can go mad, can't go mad

あなたを見つけて

Finding you

揺れた

I trembled

歪んだ世界にだんだん僕は透き通って見えなくなって

In this distorted world, I'm gradually becoming transparent and invisible

見つけないで　僕のことを　見つめないで

Don't find me, don't stare at me

誰かが描いた世界の中で　あなたを傷つけたくはないよ

In a world painted by someone else, I don't want to hurt you

覚えていて　僕のことを

Remember me

鮮やかなまま

Vivid and clear

無限に広がる孤独が絡まる

Infinite loneliness entangles me

無邪気に笑った記憶が刺さって

The memory of a pure, innocent laugh cuts deep

動けない　動けない　動けない　動けない　動けない　動けないよ

I can't move, I can't move, I can't move, I can't move, I can't move, I can't move

unraveling the world

Unraveling the world

変わってしまった　変えられなかった

It changed, and I couldn't stop it

２つが絡まる　２人が滅びる

Two become tangled, and we both perish

壊せる　壊せない　狂える　狂えない

Can break, can't break, go mad, can't go mad

あなたを汚せないよ

I can't stain you

揺れた

I trembled again

歪んだ世界にだんだん僕は透き通って見えなくなって

In this warped world, I’m slowly becoming transparent and unseen

見つけないで　僕のことを　見つめないで

Don’t find me, don’t look at me

誰かが仕組んだ孤独な罠に

In a lonely trap set up by someone

未来がほどけてしまう前に

Before the future unravels

思い出して　僕のことを

Remember me

鮮やかなまま

Vivid and clear

忘れないで　忘れないで　忘れないで　忘れないで

Don't forget, don’t forget, don’t forget, please

変わってしまったことに paralyze

Paralyzed by the changes

変えられないことだらけの paradise

A paradise full of things I can't change

覚えていて　僕のことを

Remember me

教えて　教えて　僕の中に誰がいるの？

Tell me, tell me, who is inside of me?
