Everything, if I could be a rock star.

壊したガラクタの事は
黙っていたまま
昔話をいつまでも
都合よく僕の盾にして
昔の僕はすごい奴だったって
今の頑張れない自分を慰めてる

なんだか、終わってみれば
「何をしていたんだろう」って

Everything, if I could be a rock star.
Everything, if I could be a rock star.
Everyone says, "I want to be a rock star.
Everyone says, "I want to be a rock star.

いつものガランとした
小汚い部屋の中で
溜まった書類の山を
ぼんやり見ているだけの時間が
それだけで逃げ出してしまいそう
結局自分を守る言い訳が欲しくて

なんだか、心は動かなくなって
何もしたくなくて
都合良くなった嘘の夢を見ている

Everything, if I could be a rock star.
Everything, if I could be a rock star.
Everyone says, "I want to be a rock star.
Everyone says, "I want to be a rock star.

Everything, If I could be the bold man.
Everything, If I could be the bold man.
Everything, if I could say good-bye.
Everything, if I could say good-bye.

Good bye, rock star.

-------------------

Everything, if I could be a rock star.

I kept quiet about the crap I broke.
You're always talking about the old days.
As a shield to protect me.
I was a great guy back in the day.
I'm consoling my inability to do my best now.

I feel like, when it's all said and done.
"What was I doing?"

Everything, if I could be a rock star.
Everything, if I could be a rock star.
Everyone says, "I want to be a rock star.
Everyone says, "I want to be a rock star.

In a small dirty room as usual
I'm staring blankly at a pile of papers
I feel like running away just because of that
After all, I wanted an excuse to protect myself

My heart just won't move
I don't want to do anything
I'm dreaming a false dream that has become convenient

Everything, if I could be a rock star.
Everything, if I could be a rock star.
Everyone says, "I want to be a rock star.
Everyone says, "I want to be a rock star.

Everything, If I could be the bold man.
Everything, If I could be the bold man.
Everything, if I could say good-bye.
Everything, if I could say good-bye.

Good bye, rock star.

鏡に映った自分を眺めて
床に伸びている影法師が
憐れむような目をむけて泣いていた
ああ、愛ってなんだろう

ああ、優しくありたくて
いつも笑顔でいようとして
何故か嘘をついてしまう
そんな日々を見た影も泣くだろうよ

結婚したくないよなんて、言えない
ご承知の通りです

ああ、今日の晴れた空が
記憶に残りますように
着飾ったことや似合わないと思ったこと
さっき止んだ通り雨が虹のアーチを描いて
今もまだ微笑んで
隠した思いはベールに包み込んで、さよなら


余計な飾りつけはもういらない
分厚い面の皮も剥がれ剥がれ
バケモノが出れば狂ったように
石を投げるのはあなた方なんですから

ああ、もう失敗できない
これで一人で背負う事はなくなって
重さに潰されるくらいなら
きっと無償の愛を選ぶだろうよ

結婚したくなるよなんて、分かってる
おっしゃる通りです

ああ、今日の晴れた空が
未来を照らしますように
目の前で舞い上がる花びらが眩しくて
さっき止んだ通り雨が虹のアーチを描いて
今はただ微笑んで
減らした思いの数だけ笑っていたいんだよ

良い人生を願って

-----------------

I look at myself in the mirror
A shadowy figure stretched out on the floor
Crying with pitying eyes
Oh, what is love?

Oh, I try to be kind
I always try to smile
But for some reason, I end up lying
The shadows would cry if they saw me like that

I can't say I don't want to marry you
You know that.

Oh, may today's sunny skies
May it remain in your memory
All the times I've dressed up and thought I didn't look good
The rainbow arches over the street that just stopped
Still smiling, still smiling
I'll wrap my hidden thoughts in a veil and say goodbye


No more superfluous decorations
I've lost my thick skin and I'm peeling it off
When the monster comes out, you're the ones throwing stones
You're the ones who throw the stones

Oh, I can't fail anymore
Now I won't have to carry this burden alone
Rather than be crushed by the weight
I'm sure you'll choose free love over being crushed by the weight of it all.

"You'll want to marry me." I know.
You're right.

Oh, may today's clear skies
May it light up our future
The petals dancing in front of my eyes are dazzling
The rainbow arches over the street rain that just stopped
Now I just smile
I want to smile as many times as the number of thoughts I've

3 結婚-Marriage-

暗くなっていった日々を
辛くなっていった日々を
忘れたいような日々を
消し去ろうとした日々の上

頼れる場所がどこにもなくて
どこに行けばいいの
一人になりたいけど
一人にもなれなくって

ああ、意味や価値はどこにあって
誰が決めてるの
見上げた夜空はひどく眩しくて
僕を突き刺す

君と出会って僕は初めて
笑うことが出来たよ
惨めだった日々を
傷の入った日々の上

君に触れて僕は初めて
生きていると感じたよ
苦しかった日々を
瘡蓋を撫でるようにして

ああ、理想が結局壁になって
自分の首を絞めていた
見上げた夜空はただの夜空で
僕は眠る

--------------

The days that grew darker.
The days that got harder and harder
The days you want to forget
On top of the days that I tried to erase

There was nowhere to turn
I don't know where to go
I want to be alone
But I can't even be alone

Oh, where is the meaning and the value
Who decides
I look up at the night sky, it's so bright
And it pierces me

I met you and for the first time
I could smile for the first time
On top of all those miserable days
On top of the days with scars

Touching you made me feel alive for the first time
I felt alive
The days when I was in pain
as if I was stroking a pressure sore

Oh, my ideals eventually became a wall
I was strangling myself
I looked up at the night sky, it was just a night sky
I sleep

何もない空が
耳を塞いだ
僕に何を求めていたの
どんな声が流れていた

ここに生まれたことに
意味はなくて
だけど未来を繋げていてと
バケツのような存在なんだ

uh

僕ら何を信用して
生きているのか
風が雲を狂わして動かしている
自分自身ってどこにいるの

狂ってしまった僕に何もしないで
もうこの世界を止めたいよ
華やかすぎるこの世界を
空っぽの僕ならいらないよ

uh

何もないと安心する
誰かいるとソワソワする
話すのは怖くて
バカなフリをしている

願いはいつか叶うのかな
僕と君が出会ったら
迷わずキスして
君を抱いて僕はやっと眠れる


--------------

The empty sky
I blocked my ears.
What did it want from me?
What voices were playing

I was born here
What did it mean?
But to hold the future together
I'm like a bucket

Uh...

What do we trust to keep us alive?
The wind is making the clouds move like crazy
Where is myself?

Don't do anything to me now that I've gone crazy
I wish this world would stop
This world that's too glamorous
I don't want an empty me

Uh...

I feel safe when there's nothing
I'm so nervous when there's someone else
I'm afraid to talk
I'm pretending to be stupid

I wonder if my wish will come true someday
When you and I meet
I want to kiss you without hesitation
I'll hold you in my arms and I can finally sleep
