Lyrics

Japanese	Romaji	English
自分が　季節が　誰もが勘違いをしている	jibun ga kisetsu ga dare mo ga kanchigai o shite iru	Myself– the seasons–everyone’s got the wrong idea.
稚拙が　俯瞰が　違った形を装い出す	chisetsu ga fukan ga chigatta katachi o yosooidasu	Childishness– looking down from on high– dressing them all in different shapes.

不埒な言葉が　喉から引きずり出されている	furachi na kotoba ga nodo kara hikizuridasarete iru	Insolent words are dragged from my throat.
何処から来たのか　歩いて歩いて歩いている	doko kara kita no ka aruite aruite aruite iru	Where did I come from? I walk and walk and walk.

行き場を作れないままで　僕は君だ　君は僕だ	ikiba o tsukurenai mama de boku wa kimi da kimi wa boku da	Unable to conjure a destination, I am you. You are me.
霞んだ透明な影の指先が蕩けて揺らいで交わる	kasunda toumei na kage no yubisaki ga torokete yuraide majiwaru	The fingertips of a blurred clear shadow melt, waver, and join together.

何も聞きたくなくなっている頭の中は	nani mo kikitakunaku natte iru atama no naka wa	I’ve stopped wanting to hear the thoughts in my head.
正しいか間違っているか比べられなくなる	tadashii ka machigatte iru ka kuraberarenaku naru	I’m no longer able to tell what’s right and what’s wrong.
指折り数えている祈りは空っぽになった	yubiori kazoete iru inori wa karappo ni natta	The prayers I count on my fingers have become empty.^[1]
きっと　きっともう　頼れないな	kitto kitto mou tayorenai na	I know, I know I can’t rely on them anymore.

誓いや怒りが優しく頭痛を解いていく	chikai ya ikari ga yasashiku zutsuu o hodoite iku	The vows and the anger gently relieve my headache.
誰かの風が僕らを追い越すばかりだった	dareka no kaze ga bokura o oikosu bakari datta	The draft kicked up by someone simply passed us by.

ひとつひとつ違っていき僕になった　君になった	hitotsu hitotsu chigatte iki boku ni natta kimi ni natta	Piece by piece, I became a different me. I became you.
安全さを切り売りして痩せていく心や頭や言葉を	anzensa o kiriuri shite yasete iku kokoro ya atama ya kotoba o	Selling safety in parts, my thinning heart and head and words–

止めて	tomete	stop them.

重ねたくなった憂いや乾き達を	kasanetaku natta urei ya kawakitachi o	I swallow down the anguish I wanted to pile up and the dry things
飲み込んで動かないように震えを噛み殺している	nomikonde ugokanai you ni furue o kamikoroshite iru	so that unmoving, I stifle my trembling.
身体は檻になって中身はもう溢れないし	karada wa ori ni natte nakami wa mou koborenai shi	My body has become a cage. My insides are no longer brimming over.
もっと揺らして	motto yurashite	Shake it harder.

灯りみたいな名前みたいな	akari mitai na namae mitai na	Like the light, like my name,
赤茶けた心根は捨ててかなきゃ	akachaketa kokorone wa sutetekanakya	I’ve got to throw away the blackening^[2] depths of my heart.
古い夏や明日の夜にも	furui natsu ya asu no yoru ni mo	Those old summers, and even tomorrow night,
もう　もう　いないの	mou mou inai no	they’re all gone now.

聞きたくなくなっていた頭の中は	kikitakunaku natte ita atama no naka wa	I’ve stopped wanting to hear the thoughts in my head.
指折り数えている祈りは空っぽになった	yubiori kazoete iru inori wa karappo ni natta	The prayers I count on my fingers have become empty.

ずっと　ずっと　ずっと　ずっと	zutto zutto zutto zutto	Forever　forever　forever　forever

全て繋ぎ合っておんなじになった	subete tsunagiatte onnaji ni natta	Everything has tied together and become one.
生活も歌も関係も品性も生い立ちも	seikatsu mo uta mo kankei mo hinsei mo oitachi mo	Daily life and songs and relationships and moral character and upbringing;
君が嫌なこと全部殴りたいんだけれど	kimi ga iya na koto zenbu naguritain da keredo	I want to beat up everything you hate,
だって	datte	but
だって　なんでもう　動けないんだ	datte nande mou ugokenain da	but, I can’t seem to move anymore.

簡単な夢を見ないで	kantan na yume o minaide	Don’t dream of such simple things.

Translation Notes

↑ I originally translated 祈りは空っぽになった as “my prayers have become hollow” where it appears in the song, but then I noticed that at 3:04 in the PV the heart monitor reads “HEALTH: empty,” and I changed “hollow” to “empty” to better preserve the reference.
↑ The word 赤茶ける literally means “to turn reddish-brown,” usually due to being sun-baked or, in clothing, the natural fading of dyes. As there isn’t really an equivalent word in English, I went with “blackening” instead, as I think it conveys a similar sentiment; though the original line is probably supposed to imply that the “depths of my heart” the speaker talks about are turning the red-brown of rust or dried blood.
