Lyrics & Translation

[Japanese]

[English]

がらんどうの胸に覚えた違和感さえ

Even the discomfort I felt in my hollow chest

ひとりきりでは御しきれない

Can't be tamed on my own

この目も鼻も耳も、内側の僕に届かない

My eyes, my nose, my ears, they can't reach the inside of me

茫漠たる灰の海で

In the vast, dusty sea of gray

痛みさえ忘れていたんだ

I had even forgotten the pain

そんな僕の目の前に現れたあなたに

Until you appeared right in front of me

見えないものを見たんだ

I saw something invisible

あなたと僕の間にあった温度を

The warmth that existed between you and me

僕の弱さを少し預けていられた

I was able to entrust a little of my weakness

あなたの言葉が僕の鎖を解いて

Your words untied my chains

空が白んでいくような

As if the sky was brightening

この手の中の光が、心だと知ったんだ

I realized the light in my hand is my heart

誰かを傷つけてしまう悪夢で

In nightmares where I hurt someone

浅い呼吸を繰り返して

I keep breathing shallowly

その矢印の向きを、この胸の奥に集めて

Focusing that arrow’s direction deep inside my chest

安寧の孤独の中で

In peaceful loneliness

静かな終わりを願って

Wishing for a quiet end

少しずつ冷えていく何かが寂しかった

Something was getting colder, and I was lonely

それでも構わなかった

But I didn’t mind

誰かを愛して、愛されたいと望むこと

Loving someone and wanting to be loved

同じ数だけ痛みがあるということ

Means there’s just as much pain

そうして鎖した僕の胸の奥まで

And in my heart, where I chained myself

あなたで満ちてしまったんだ

You filled it completely

壁が崩れて橋が架かって、僕は

Walls fall and bridges form, and I,

あなたがくれた呼吸で

With the breath you gave me

優しい刃で

With a gentle blade

見えた形の無いものを

I saw something formless

この手の中の光を、護りたいと願った

And wished to protect the light in my hands
