Paroles:

[日本語]

[English]

考えたってわからないし

I thought about it, but I still don't get it.

青空の下、君を待った

Under the blue sky, I waited for you.

風が吹いた正午、昼下がりを抜け出す想像

At noon the wind blew, imagining escaping the afternoon.

ねぇ、これからどうなるんだろうね

Hey, I wonder what will happen from now on.

進め方教わらないんだよ

No one teaches you how to move forward.

君の目を見た　何も言えず僕は歩いた

I looked into your eyes, unable to say anything, I just walked.

考えたってわからないし

I thought about it, but I still don't get it.

青春なんてつまらないし

Youth is boring, after all.

辞めた筈のピアノ、机を弾く癖が抜けない

The piano I was supposed to have quit, I still have the habit of playing at my desk.

ねぇ、将来何してるだろうね

Hey, what do you think you'll be doing in the future?

音楽はしてないといいね

I hope you won't be making music.

困らないでよ

Don't get into trouble.

心の中に一つ線を引いても

Even if I draw a line inside my heart,

どうしても消えなかった　今更なんだから

I just can't erase it, and it's already too late.

なぁ、もう思い出すな

Hey, don't think about it anymore.

間違ってるんだよ

It's wrong, you know.

わかってないよ、あんたら人間も

You don’t understand, neither do humans.

本当も愛も世界も苦しさも人生もどうでもいいよ

Honestly, I don't care about truth, love, the world, suffering, or life.

正しいかどうか知りたいのだって防衛本能だ

I just want to know if it's right or wrong—that's my defense mechanism.

考えたんだ　あんたのせいだ

I thought about it, and it's your fault.

考えたってわからないが

I thought about it, but I still don't understand.

本当に年老いたくないんだ

I really don't want to grow old.

いつか死んだらって

Just thinking about dying someday—

思うだけで胸が空っぽになるんだ

makes my chest feel empty.

将来何してるだろうって

What will I be doing in the future?

大人になったらわかったよ

When I become an adult, I understand now.

何もしてないさ

I’m doing nothing.

幸せな顔した人が憎いのは

It’s frustrating to see people with happy faces.

どう割り切ったらいいんだ

How can I just accept that?

満たされない頭の奥の

Deep inside my unsatisfied mind,

化け物みたいな劣等感

a monster-like inferiority complex.

間違ってないよ

I'm not wrong.

なぁ、何だかんだあんたら人間だ

Hey, after all, you’re humans.

愛も救いも優しさも根拠がないなんて気味が悪いよ

It's creepy that love, salvation, kindness have no basis.

ラブソングなんかが痛いのだって防衛本能だ

Painful love songs are just a defense mechanism.

どうでもいいか　あんたのせいだ

It doesn't matter anymore, it's your fault.

考えたってわからないし

I thought about it, but I still don’t understand.

生きてるだけでも苦しいし

Just living is painful enough.

音楽とか儲からないし

Music doesn't bring me profit, after all.

歌詞とか適当でもいいよ

Lyrics, I don't care if they're just made up.

どうでもいいんだ

It all doesn't matter.

間違ってないだろ

It’s not wrong, right?

間違ってないよな

It’s not wrong, is it?

間違ってないよな...

It’s not wrong, right?

間違ってるんだよ　わかってるんだ

No, I know I’m wrong.

あんたら人間も

You, humans,

本当も愛も救いも優しさも人生もどうでもいいんだ

don't care about truth, love, salvation, kindness, or life.

正しい答えが言えないのだって防衛本能だ

Even the fact that I can't say the right answer is a defense mechanism.

どうでもいいや　あんたのせいだ

Whatever, it’s your fault.

僕だって信念があった

Even I used to have my beliefs.

今じゃ塵みたいな想いだ

Now they’re just like dust.

何度でも君を書いた

I've written about you so many times.

売れることこそがどうでもよかったんだ

Getting famous didn't matter to me at all.

本当だ　本当なんだ

It’s true, it really is.

昔はそうだった

That’s how it was long ago.

だから僕は

So I...

だから僕は音楽を辞めた

That's why I quit music.
