[English]

Have I become the me I've always dreamed of?

It seems like I've strayed too far to ever go back.

With my own feet, skipping steps ahead,

Because I can surely run even further forward, run away.

Sewing shut the deepening wounds, beginning to spin on the connecting axis.

Familiar pain, rushed breaths, and the beat.

Pretending not to notice, alone again.

What's justified? Nothing at all, forever.

Who pays the price for being wrong?

The one you hate, that guy, surely

Is wrong just for "that's all."

Even if you argue it's worth zero points,

Or reasons I totally can't accept,

The front line has always been right here.

There was never a best plan from the start.

Slowly crumbling and breaking apart.

Gently, like my neck is being squeezed, the me from yesterday is being killed.

Slowly drifting apart and getting tired.

To unsteady you, what sounds is becoming a voice I don't know.

From a young age, before I knew it, you were by my side.

Like air, I'd hold your hand tightly.

Happy things and tears too, I'd tell you all about them.

Voices that laugh at me or put me down—

You sang to make sure they couldn't be heard.

You receive this voice, and sorrows project every night again.

Even if you say it's disposable and rotten,

The high-fi won't stop, the Zeitgeist.

Even just for a single moment in one full cycle,

Intertwining heartbeats, sounds, connecting colors.

Next time, I'll be the one singing to you.

Slowly crumbling and breaking apart.

Gently, like my neck is being squeezed, the me from yesterday is being killed.

Slowly drifting apart and getting tired.

To unsteady you, what sounds is becoming a voice I don't know.

Slowly crumbling and breaking apart.

Gently, like my neck is being squeezed, the me from yesterday is being killed.

Slowly drifting apart and getting tired.

To unsteady you, what sounds is becoming a voice I don't know.

Will it reach you someday? Nah, that day won't come for sure.

To you with no voice or body, one of the hundreds of millions you've saved.

The world overflowed with sounds painted by mixing red and blue.

Everyone who hears this sound we keep encountering round after round is " "

Slowly crumbling and breaking apart.

Gently, like my neck is being squeezed, the me from yesterday is being killed.

Slowly drifting apart and getting tired.

To unsteady you, what sounds is becoming a voice I don't know.

Slowly crumbling and breaking apart.

Gently, like my neck is being squeezed, the me from yesterday is being killed.

Slowly drifting apart and getting tired.

To unsteady you, what sounds is becoming a voice I don't know.

[Japanese]

ずっと夢見てた僕になれたかな

とうに帰れないとこまで来たみたい

自分の足で二段飛ばして

そうもっと先へ駆けていけるはずだから run away

深くなる傷を縫い付け 繋ぐパス軸に廻りだす

慣れた痛み、焦る呼吸とビート

気付かないふりしてまた一人

何が正当？ないな永劫

誰が間違った対価払うの

あんたが嫌いなあいつはきっと

ただ「それだけ」で不正解なんだ

0点だって提言したって

全然納得できない理由も

最前線はいつだってここだった

最善策は最初からなかった

緩やかに崩れ壊れてく

ゆるりゆるり首を締めるように 昨日までの僕が殺されていく

緩やかに離れ離れ飽く

ぐらりんり君にきこえるのは 僕が知らない声になってく

幼い頃から 気付いたら傍にいた

まるで空気のようだ 僕は君とぎゅっと手を繋いで

楽しいことも涙も 僕は君に話して聞かせた

僕を笑う人や貶す声が

聞こえぬように君は歌った

この声を君が受信 また夜毎投影されてく憂い

使い捨てだっていって腐っても

止まらないハイファイ、ツァイトガイスト

一周巡る間のたった一瞬だけでも

交わる鼓動、音、繋ぐ色

次は僕が君に歌歌うから

緩やかに崩れ壊れてく

ゆるりゆるり首を締めるように 昨日までの僕が殺されていく

緩やかに離れ離れ飽く

ぐらりんり君にきこえるのは 僕が知らない声になってく

緩やかに崩れ壊れてく

ゆるりゆるり首を締めるように 昨日までの僕が殺されていく

緩やかに離れ離れ飽く

ぐらりんり君にきこえるのは 僕が知らない声になってく

いつか君に届くかな いやそんな日はきっと来ないだろうな

声も体も持たぬ君に 救われた何億人の一人

赤青合わせ彩った音で世界が溢れた

巡り巡り出会ったこの音を聴くすべてが 「 」

緩やかに崩れ壊れてく

ゆるりゆるり首を締めるように 昨日までの僕が殺されていく

緩やかに離れ離れ飽く

ぐらりんり君にきこえるのは 僕が知らない声になってく

緩やかに崩れ壊れてく

ゆるりゆるり首を締めるように 昨日までの僕が殺されていく

緩やかに離れ離れ飽く

ぐらりんり君にきこえるのは 僕が知らない声になってく
