さあ 心の向こうへ行こうぜ チンドン屋の行列に絡まって
Come on, let's go beyond the heart, tangled in the parade of the street performers.
もう ありとあらゆる不幸を 吸い込んだような顔してないで
Don't wear a face that looks like it has sucked in every kind of misfortune.
ああ 恐ろしいことばっかだ 楽しむことさえもそう
Ah, it's all terrifying, even the act of enjoying things feels the same.
もう 後になって思い出に ぶん殴られるのが嫌なんだ
I hate looking back and getting hit by memories later on.
絶望や諦観がどれほどの痛みを生むのか
Just how much pain does despair and resignation bring?
他の誰かにわからない あなただけが正しさを持っている
Nobody else understands, only you hold the truth.
ちゃんと話してよ 大きな声で さあ目を開いて わっはっはは
Speak clearly now, in a loud voice, open your eyes, wahahaha.
自分嫌いのあなたのことを 愛する僕も嫌いなの?
Do I also dislike myself for loving you, who hates yourself?
いつだってそうだ 心臓の奥で 誰彼彼も見下しては
It's always like this, looking down on everyone in the depths of my heart.
見下される恐ろしさに 苛まれて動けずに
Tormented by the terror of being looked down upon, I can't move.
もう 黙り込んだ方がお得だ 否定されるくらいなら
It's better to stay silent, instead of facing denial.
その内に気づくんだ 何も言えない自分に
You'll eventually realize, the speechless you.
愛情や友情はあなたがいくら疑えど
Whether you doubt love or friendship, it doesn't change a thing.
一方的に与えられて あなたが決められるものじゃないや
It's given unilaterally, not something you can decide.
ちゃんと笑ってよ カウチにかけて お腹抱えて わっはっはは
Come on, smile for real, let loose on the couch, holding your belly, ha ha ha.
そんな寂しいこと言わないでよ さも知ったげにも俯いてさ
Don't say such lonely things, looking down as if you know it all.
真っ赤っかな嘘 撒き散らしては 嘘に嘘つき塗り重ね
Spreading bright red lies, layering lie upon lie.
どうにもならず追い込まれて 傷つく前に逃げ出して
Feeling cornered and helpless, escaping before you get hurt.
あなたが思うほどあなたは悪くない
You're not as bad as you think you are.
誰かのせいってこともきっとある
Surely, it could also be someone's fault.
痛みを呪うのをやめろとは言わないよ
I won't tell you to stop cursing the pain,
それはもうあなたの一部だろ
It's already a part of you, isn't it?
でもね 失くしたものにしか目を向けてないけど
But hey, you're only looking at what you've lost,
誰かがくれたもの数えたことある?
Have you ever counted the gifts someone gave you?
忘れてしまったなら 無理にでも思い出して
If you've forgotten them, try to remember, even if it's forced,
じゃないと僕は悲しいや
Or else, I'm going to be sad.
ちゃんと話してよ 大きな声で さあ目を開いて わっはっはは
Talk to me properly, with a loud voice, come on, open your eyes, wahahahaha.
自分嫌いのあなたのことを 愛する僕も嫌いなの?
Do I also hate myself for loving you, who hates yourself?
いつだってそうだ 心臓の奥で 誰彼彼も見下しては
It's always like this, looking down at everyone deep in my heart,
見下される恐ろしさに苛まれて動けずに
Tormented by the terror of being looked down upon, unable to move.
どこにもないと泣く前にさ
Before you cry that there's nothing anywhere,
目の前の僕をちゃんと見つめてよ
Look right in front of you and see me clearly.
