嘘じゃない

Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

嘘じゃない 嗚呼 初めましての曲を

It's not a lie, ah, a song for the first time

今もまだ 思い返します

I still think back on it

我侭な合言葉 " " 口ずさむ習慣なんです

A selfish password, " ", it's a habit I hum

空想のずる休み

A daydreaming break

身動きとれない 不登校な日常は

Stuck in a non-attending school routine

比べようもなく 浸る刹那に 価値あり

In a moment that can't be compared, there's value

君が寝てる時間 私は冴えてる

While you're sleeping, I'm wide awake

会いたいの擦り合わせ

Wanting to meet, aligning our thoughts

被らない習慣ばかり 数えるのやめよ

Let's stop counting all the habits that don't overlap

私のヒビと君の日々を

My cracks and your days

紡いでゆく発明

Weaving an invention

途切れてく前に伝えられる

Before it cuts off, I want to convey

今時間ある？ ないかな

Do you have time now? Maybe not

すれ違った 初めましての曲を

We passed by, a song for the first time

今もまだ 思い返します

I still think back on it

我侭な合言葉 " " 口ずさむなんて もう嘘じゃない

A selfish password, " ", humming it is no longer a lie

嘘じゃない 一瞬の煌めきじゃなくて

It's not a lie, it's not just a moment's sparkle

幻じゃ容易い表現

An illusion is an easy expression

我侭な合言葉 "さよなら"は言わないで

A selfish password, please don't say "goodbye"

気にしないでね またぼやいてる 誤魔化し効かない

Don't worry about it, I'm still grumbling, can't cover it up

君次第でね つまらない期待 それしか言えない

It's up to you, boring expectations, that's all I can say

消えてゆく瞬間は 確かなり

The moments that fade away are certain

心地いい？ 関係ない？

Is it comfortable? Does it matter?

最終は無責任なら

If the end is irresponsible

炊き立てのご飯だってそう

Even freshly cooked rice is like that

私にとっては 贅沢な出来事です

For me, it's a luxurious event

曖昧時代 大丈夫になるための

In this ambiguous era, to become okay

おまじない死体

A charm for a dead body

早急に その次

Urgently, the next one

自分で選べっ！ と思うなら 勝ちあり

If you think you can choose for yourself, there's a win

すれ違った呆気ない お別れの曲を

We passed by, a fleeting farewell song

今もまだ 思い返します

I still think back on it

我侭な合言葉 " " 口ずさむなんて もう嘘じゃない

A selfish password, " ", humming it is no longer a lie

嘘じゃない 一瞬の煌めきじゃなくて

It's not a lie, it's not just a moment's sparkle

あまりにも重大で盲目 臆病な風は

Too significant and blind, the cowardly wind

温くて 腐りそうです

Is warm and seems like it will rot

量産的=敵対

Mass production = enemy

お気遣いなら要らないのすけの

If you're being considerate, I don't need it

コソ練無問題

Secret practice, no problem

始まぁんない

It won't start

正正堂堂 前言撤回

Fair and square, retracting my previous statement

偏見うざい じゃあ＝邪

Prejudice is annoying, then = evil

体現して ぶち壊すんだよ

Embodiment, I'll smash it

わかってる わかってる

I understand, I understand

手は冷たくて

My hands are cold

避けることが精一杯だった

Avoiding was all I could manage

虚無な理想が理想

A void ideal is an ideal

折り合いつけたくもないよ

I don't even want to compromise

すれ違った 始めましての曲を

We passed by, a song for the first time

今もまだ 思い返します

I still think back on it

我侭な合言葉 " " 口ずさむなんて もう嘘じゃない

A selfish password, " ", humming it is no longer a lie

嘘じゃない 一瞬の煌めきじゃなくて

It's not a lie, it's not just a moment's sparkle

幻じゃ容易い表現

An illusion is an easy expression

我侭な合言葉 "さよなら"は言わないで

A selfish password, please don't say "goodbye"

気にしないでね まだぼやいてる 誤魔化し効かない

Don't worry about it, I'm still grumbling, can't cover it up

君じゃないなら つまらない未来 それしか言えない

If it's not you, it's a boring future, that's all I can say

...
