Japanese	Romaji	English
寝る前に聴いてた歌手や	nerumae ni kiiteta kashu ya	The singer I was listening to before going to bed
待ち合わせの時間が住んだ	machiawase no jikan ga sunda	The time we were supposed to meet
寒空を覗く窓が	samuzora o nozoku mado ga	A window looking out into the cold sky
あるだけの六畳を描いた	aru dake no rokujou o egaita	I imagined a six-mat room inhabited only by these things
ミルクパズルのように	miruku pazuru no you ni	Like a milk puzzle
ハイライトの無い目で歩く	hairaito no nai me de aruku	The salarymen walk with no light in their eyes
サラリーマンと地下鉄の刑	sarariiman to chikatetsu no kei	It’s the punishment of the subway
席で咳をするのは散歩のご老人	seki de seki o suru no wa sanpo no goroujin	An old man on an outing coughs in his seat
コントロールをされてるのか	kontorooru o sareteru no ka	Are they being controlled?
コントロールが出来ないのか	kontorooru ga dekinai no ka	Or are they unable to control?
気付かないように耳を塞ぐ音楽	kizukanai you ni mimi o fusagu ongaku	Music floods their ears so they don’t have to realize
白い息が綺麗なのは	shiroi iki ga kirei na no wa	My white breath is beautiful
寒い夜の償いだろうか	samui yoru no tsugunai darou ka	Is that how the night compensates for its cold?
時計を円で表したのは	tokei o en de arawashita no wa	Is the fact that clocks are circular
皮肉だろうか	hiniku darou ka	A form of irony?
憧れも　悔しさも　夢も	akogare mo kuyashisa mo yume mo	I gave up my longing, regret, and dreams
諦めて人間になった	akiramete ningen ni natta	And became a human being
雪なんて降らなくても	yuki nante furanakute mo	Even if it doesn’t snow now
もうここは固形の海だ	mou koko wa kokei no umi da	This is already a solid ocean
駅前の商店街は寂れ	ekimae no shoutengai wa sabire	The shopping street in front of the station is deserted
よく見える星が見下す	yoku mieru hoshi ga mikudasu	Under the light of an easily visible star
マフラーの隙間から刺した	mafuraa no sukima kara togeshita	The wind slips through the gaps in my scarf
風が眠気を覚ましてく	kaze ga nemuke o samashiteku	And stings me awake
野良猫が横切る路地で	noraneko ga yokogiru roji de	In an alley that a stray cat crosses,
外灯と自販機だけがある	gaitou to jihanki dake ga aru	There are only streetlights and vending machines
「ねえ、一人は怖いでしょ？」	"nee, hitori wa kowai desho?"	“Hey, isn’t being alone scary?”
差し出された手はもう無い	sashidasareta te wa mou nai	The hand that reached out to me is no longer here
どうなってもいいやとやがて	dou natte mo ii ya to yagate	There was a person who chose violence in the end
凶行に走る人がいた	kyoukou ni hashiru hito ga ita	Saying “I don’t care what happens.”
でも　それを否定できずに	demo sore o hitei dekizu ni	But I sympathized with them
同情した	doujou shita	Unable to disagree
赤信号を渡るバンが	akashingou o wataru ban ga	From a van running the red light,
火の着いたタバコを落とした	hi no tsuita tabako o otoshita	Someone dropped a lit cigarette
飲みかけたコーヒーがもう	nomikaketa koohii ga mou	The coffee I’ve been drinking
不味くなった	mazuku natta	Doesn’t taste good anymore
自分だけが聡明ならば	jibun dake ga soumei naraba	If I was the only wise person
長い夜に黎明があったか	nagai yoru ni reimei ga atta ka	Would there have been a dawn after a long night?
分かり合えば少数派の血は	wakariaeba shousuu-ha no chi wa	If we understood each other,
怖くもないか	kowaku mo nai ka	Would you be afraid of the blood of the minority?
愚かだと嗤い蔑んだ	oroka da to warai sagesunda	I laughed at myself, despising my stupidity
浅ましい人間になった	asamashii ningen ni natta	I have become a wretched human being
今日と明日の境界線は	kyou to asu no kyoukaisen wa	It looks like the boundary between today and tomorrow
もうとうに過ぎてたみたいだ	mou tou ni sugiteta mitai da	Has already passed by me
倅んだ指が液晶に	kajikanda yubi ga ekishou ni	My frozen fingers tap out
意味の無い文字を呟く	imi no nai moji o tsubuyaku	Meaningless words on the LCD
広いと思っていた校舎	hiroi to omotte ita kousha	I used to think the school building was huge
今見ればそうでもないか	ima mireba sou demo nai ka	It actually isn’t, now that I look at it
早く帰りたいのに何故か	hayaku kaeritai noni nazeka	I want to get home early, but for some reason
遠回りして何になる	toomawari shite nan ni naru	I’m making a detour. What’s the point though?
「ねえ、明日が怖いよ」と	"nee, ashita ga kowai yo" to	“Listen, I’m scared of tomorrow”
泣いた相手はもういない	naita aite wa mou inai	The person who cried out those words is no longer here
