あぁ 街の真ん中で 息を吸った 魚が泣いた
Ah, in the heart of the city, I took a breath, and the fish cried out.
全て変わってしまった 砂が落ちた 生活が落ちた
Everything has changed; the sand has fallen, and life has slipped away.
透明な朝に心像と 何でもないような情操を
In the transparent morning, with a mind clear and emotions so ordinary,
愛を食べて動けない君へと
To you, who cannot move after devouring love.
大きすぎる灯りに 逃げ出さない憔悴に
In the light that’s too bright, I see the exhaustion that refuses to flee.
抗わない日常を返したい
I want to return to the everyday that doesn’t resist.
その献身の先へ 心は行く 強く
Beyond that devotion, my heart moves forward, strong.
その諦観の奥へ 言葉は行く 深く
Deep into that resignation, my words travel, profound.
ほら 君の疑うものすべて
Look, all that you doubt within yourself,
いつの間にか 君から抜け出した君だ
Somehow, you’ve slipped away from you.
あぁ 街の真ん中で 息を吐いた 魚が泣いた
Ah, in the heart of the city, I exhaled, and the fish cried out.
喉を締めあげて 歌を歌った 星の様に降った
Tightening my throat, I sang like stars falling from the sky.
曖昧な夜の喧騒も 耐え切れない日の慟哭も
The indistinct noise of the night and the cries of unbearable days,
愛を食べて動けない君へと
To you, who cannot move, consumed by love.
小さくなった言葉も ぼんやり飛んだ電波も
Even the shrunken words, the hazy signals that drifted,
知りたくないことを押し付けてさ
Are pressed upon me by things I don't want to know.
その勾配の先へ 心は行く 強く
To that slope ahead, my heart moves, strong.
その幽閉の奥へ 言葉は行く 深く
To the depths of that confinement, words venture, deep.
ほら 君は一つずつ治しながら生きているよ
Look, you are living, healing bit by bit.
今 懐かしい朝の為
Now, for the nostalgic morning.
その献身の先へ 心は行く 強く
To the depths of that devotion, my heart strides strong.
その諦観の奥へ 言葉は行く 深く
To the heart of that resignation, my words dive deep.
ほら 君の疑うものすべて
Look, everything you doubt, it’s all before you.
いつの間にか 君から抜け出した君だ
Before you knew it, you’ve stepped out from yourself.
あぁ 意味なんてない 退屈で美しいんだ
Ah, there’s no meaning, it’s beautifully dull.
今 変わらない朝の為
Now, for the unchanging morning.
