Kanji
挫折まみれ　流行にまぎれ　幸せな振りをして歌う

もっと走れと言い聞かして　無謀にも　そっと風上へ

来た道を一瞥　ゆとりは御免　四面楚歌　参戦に次ぐ one game

「山あり谷あり崖あり」　塵は積もってく

果てしない旅の途中で　街のはずれに立ち寄る

疲れた両足をそっと投げ出して　寝転ぶと　繰り返される浅い眠り

何度も同じあの横顔　何度も同じあの言葉を…

「生きてるだけで悲しいと思うのは私だけなの?」と

タバコの煙が宙をうねり　虚ろに消える

きっとまだ力なき幼い日に

見なくていい悲しみを　見てきた君は今

こらえなくていい涙を　こらえて過ごしてる

ほんとのことだけで　生きてゆけるほど

僕らは強くないさ　強くなくていい

いい?

持ち上げた瞼　世界は春だ　桜色の風をかきわけて

遥か彼方へ向かう途中　この菜の花畑に君はいたのかな

この空に鳥の白いはばたきを　僕が探す間きっと

君は大地に耳を澄まし　蟻の黒い足音を探したんだろうな

ピエロのような仮面を剥いで　太陽に忘れられた丘に立ち

月の光を浴びて　深く息を吸う

皿の割れる音も　怒鳴り声もない世界

温もりがなくたって　生きてはゆけるさ

だけど僕ら生きてるだけじゃ足りなくて

芽吹く大地や　分厚い幹や　消え去る虹や　過ぎ去る日々や

夜空のスピカ　四季の不思議が　教えてくれた　真実を探し続ける僕らに

どこまで旅をしても　命の始まりは

生きて愛されたいと泣いた　一人の赤子

ここではないどこかを　目指す理由とは

心ではないどこかに　答えはないと知るため

English Translation
Smeared with setbacks, lost in fads I pretend to be happy as I sing “Run further” I’m urging myself, thoughtlessly, but softly to where the wind is blowing I glance back at the road which I came from and feel sorry that I have time to spare Surrounded on all sides What comes after a war is one game “There are mountains, valleys, cliffs” Dust is piling up In the middle of my endless journey, I stop by at the edge of a town I throw down my tired legs softly If I lie down, I’ll end up repeating my shallow sleep I’ll see that same profile over and over, hear those same words over and over… “Am I the only one who thinks just living is sad?”

Tobacco smoke floats in the air and disappears into emptiness

On a day where we’re surely still powerless and young You witness sadness that you didn’t have to see Now you’re spending your time holding in tears that don’t have to be held in We’re not strong enough to keep living on just completely truthful things We don’t have to be strong Okay?

My lifted-up eyelids see the world in spring I push through the cherry-blossom coloured wind On the way to the destination of the far away other side, I wonder if you were in this rapeseed field I search for the white flapping of a bird in this sky Surely you’ll be listening carefully to the ground and searching for the black ant’s footsteps at the same time, right?

Tearing off a disguise like a clown’s, standing on a forgotten hill, in the sun

Basking in the light of the moon, taking a deep breath In a world where there’s no yelling voice or sound of the plates breaking Without sharing warmth, life can continue However, just living is not enough for us

The budding ground, the thick trees, the disappearing rainbow, the passing days, The night sky’s Spica, the four season’s mystery, they taught us who continue searching for the truth

No matter how far we travel, at the start of life We were lonely babies who cried out to want to live and be loved Our reason for aiming for somewhere that isn’t here Is because we have to in order to know that there is no answer anywhere other than in the heart “Run further” I’m urging myself, thoughtlessly, but softly to where the wind is blowing I glance back at the road which I came from and feel sorry that I have time to spare Surrounded on all sides What comes after a war is one game “There are mountains, valleys, cliffs” Dust is piling up In the middle of my endless journey, I stop by at the edge of a town I throw down my tired legs softly If I lie down, I’ll end up repeating my shallow sleep I’ll see that same profile over and over, hear those same words over and over… “Am I the only one who thinks just living is sad?”
