Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

つまりは好奇心に囚われてたんだ Tsumari wa kōkishin ni toraware teta nda

In other words, I was trapped by curiosity

大切な物なら壊したんだ Taisetsuna mononara kowashita nda

If it was something important, I broke it

明かりの灯らないホールケーキ木製の君と踊ってたんだ Akari no tomoranai hōkēki mokusei no kimi to odotteta nda

A hall cake without a light, I was dancing with you made of wood

クローゼットで待った今日も Kurozetto de matta kyō mo

Today, I waited in the closet

小さな身体ただ寄せ合って Chīsana karada tada yose atte

Just huddling together with small bodies

眠るのさ、変わるのさ想像 Nemuru no sa, kawaru no sa sōzō

I will sleep, I will change, imagination

容易い安全 Tayasui anzen

Easy and safe

「私馬鹿な子なのどこにも行かないで」 Watashi bakana kona no dokoni mo ikanaide

"I'm a foolish child, don't go anywhere"

濁った正体の鈍い目を覚ませ Nigotta shōtai no nibui me o samase

Wake up those dull eyes of the murky identity

夜のうち片付けたおもちゃ Yoru no uchi katadzuketa omocha

I tidied up the toys during the night

無邪気なままで Mujakina mama de

Still innocent

まだいたかった Mada itakatta

I still wanted to stay

愛情はhigh Aijō wa high

Love is high

ただ捨て置くばかり Tada suteoku bakari

Just leaving it behind

剥がれ落ちた大事な記憶 Hagare ochita daijina kioku

Important memories that have peeled away

but 後悔 low-life But kōkai low-life

but regret is low-life

ならば敢えて Naraba aete

Then, I dare to

ありえないことを願う夏を Arienai koto o negau natsu o

Wish for an impossible summer

YELLOW

あいつは好奇心に殺されたようだ Aitsu wa kōkishin ni korosa reta yōda

It seems that guy was killed by curiosity

狡猾な術なら試したんだ Kōkatsuna sube nara tameshita nda

I tried a cunning trick

うだつの上がらないあんな行為 Udatsu no agaranai an'na kōi

Such actions that don't get anywhere

満面の笑みで歌ってたんだ Manmen'noemi de utatteta nda

I was singing with a full smile

クローゼットで待った今日は Kurōzetto de matta kyō wa

Today, I waited in the closet

1人で待つのならこんなもんか 1-Ri de matsu nonara kon'na mon ka

If I'm waiting alone, is this all there is?

変わるのさ、終わるのさ、肯定 Kawaru no sa, owaru no sa, kōtei

I will change, I will end, affirmation

求め続ける Motome tsudzukeru

Continuing to seek

価値価値価値迫る秒針 Kachi kachi kachi semaru byōshin

Value, value, value, the approaching second hand

もっと巻いて業、深くなって Motto mai te-gyō, fukaku natte

Spinning more, deepening

終いには天地が逆さまになる Shimai ni wa tenchi ga sakasama ni naru

In the end, heaven and earth will turn upside down

なんで？どうして？ほら霞んだ透明 Nande? Dōshite? Hora kasunda tōmei

Why? Why? Look, it's a blurred transparency

窓から見た景色をまだ覚えています」 Mado kara mita keshiki o mada oboete imasu

I still remember the scenery I saw from the window

いっそ消えて無くなるだけのYELLOW Isso kiete nakunaru dake no ierō

I wish it would just disappear, YELLOW

...

YELLOW

その日が来ないよう、わざと間違えて Sonohi ga konai yō, wazato machigaete

To prevent that day from coming, I purposely made a mistake

崩れ落ちた、乖離と解脱 Kuzureochita, kairi to gedatsu

Collapsed, separation and liberation

救いなどないよう、限りあるなんて Sukui nado nai yō, kagiri aru nante

It seems there is no salvation, saying it's limited

まだ、想う熱 mada, omou netsu

Still, the heat of my feelings

愛情はhigh ただ捨て置くばかり Aijō wa high tada suteoku bakari

Love is high, just leaving it behind

剥がれ落ちた大事な記憶 hagare ochita daijina kioku

Important memories that have peeled away

but 後悔 low-life ならば敢えて But kōkai low - life naraba aete

but regret is low-life, then I dare to

ありえないことを願う夏を arienai koto o negau natsu o

Wish for an impossible summer
