歌詞:

[日本語]

[English]

これが俺のカルマ

This is my karma

ここに書き示す

I write it down here

書いて遺す覚悟　今日の空

The resolve to leave behind what I've written, today's sky

ブルージェイの羽の色

The color of the blue jay's feathers

祝福と堕落を繰り返すような1月

A January that seems to repeat blessings and downfall

俺はバカじゃないからな

I'm not a fool

踏まえてる踏まえたから生きてる

I live because I've stepped on it

生きてるから抗えず間違える

I can't resist and make mistakes because I'm alive

書き換えることはできない過去

The past that cannot be rewritten

歌詞にすらもならない

Not even worthy of lyrics

期限付きの生き方

A life with an expiration date

浮かんでは消える君が

You, who appear and disappear

諭したのは死に方

What you taught me was how to die

瞼閉じる今 俺は俺に殺されたくないしな

Now, with my eyes closed, I don't want to be killed by myself

いつか見てた夢が夢じゃなくなる日が来るなら

If the day comes when the dream I once saw is no longer a dream

忘却の彼方　今欠片でも拾い上げる

From the depths of oblivion, I pick up even a fragment now

生きてくれてありがとうと

Thank you for living

囁いて俺は死ぬ

I whisper as I die

氏名と使命が絡み合う

Names and missions intertwine

そうやって皆、空になる

In that way, everyone becomes empty

「ただいま」「おかえり」

“I’m home” “Welcome back”

ただ今、それを求めるが

Right now, I seek that

どうせ煙に巻かれる

But I’ll just be wrapped in smoke anyway

還る場所はあるから

There is a place to return to

抜け出そう過去から

Let’s break free from the past

2024 またここから

2024, starting from here

ずっと不思議に思ってた

I've always wondered

Why is my life so tough

Why is my life so tough

後悔のない人生を選び続けるのは

Continuing to choose a life without regrets

とても難しい

Is very difficult

それも運命

That too is fate

Don't forget my name

Don't forget my name

さよならの朝

The morning of goodbye

たった一人ぼっち数えたのは

Counting the loneliness of being all alone

なくしたものが幾つか

Some of the things I've lost

むしろ残るものの方が

Rather, it's natural that what remains

少ないのは仕方ない

Is less

そのくらいで可能性を仕舞わない

I won't close off possibilities for that much

たぶん今じゃない

Maybe not now

未だ白昼夢の中

Still in a daydream

何がフラッシュバックしても怖がらない

No matter what flashes back, I won't be afraid

浅い眠り君がいないこの世界に

In this world without you, in shallow sleep

意味を求めるしかない

I can only seek meaning

会いたいが今以上の未来はない

I want to see you, but there's no future beyond now

f**k

f**k

ずっと不思議に思ってた

I've always wondered

Why is my life so tough

Why is my life so tough

後悔のない人生を選び続けるのは

Continuing to choose a life without regrets

とても難しい

Is very difficult

それも運命

That too is fate

Don't forget my name

Don't forget my name

ずっと不思議に思ってた

I've always wondered

Why is my life so tough

Why is my life so tough

後悔のない人生を選び続けるのは

Continuing to choose a life without regrets

とても難しい

Is very difficult

それも運命

That too is fate

Don't forget my name

Don't forget my name

• 書いて遺す覚悟　今日の空

  ➔ Verb in -te form + auxiliary verb to express intention/determination

  ➔ The implied "書いて遺す" shows a strong resolve to "write and leave behind." While not explicitly stated with a common intention verb like "つもり (tsumori)", the context implies a firm decision.

• 踏まえてる踏まえたから生きてる

  ➔ Reason/cause with "から"

  ➔ "踏まえたから生きてる" means "Because I understood/considered it, I am alive."

  ➔ Conditional "なら"

  ➔ "来るなら" means "if (the day) comes."

• 生きてくれてありがとうと

  ➔ Giving gratitude for an action: Verb (te-form) + くれる + ありがとう

  ➔ "生きてくれてありがとう" expresses gratitude for someone having lived. It literally means "Thank you for living (for me)."

• 後悔のない人生を選び続けるのは とても難しい

  ➔ Nominalizing a clause with "の" to use as the subject of a sentence.

  ➔ "後悔のない人生を選び続けるのは" nominalizes the clause "to continue choosing a life without regrets", allowing it to function as the subject of the sentence. The sentence means 'To keep choosing a life without regrets is very difficult.'
