Lyrics

木曜の目覚めはまだ気怠い
夢を引きずっていて
金曜の朝には忘れてるよ
それこそが日常
mokuyou no mezame wa mada kedarui
yume wo hikizutte ite
kin’you no asa ni wa wasureteru yo
sore koso ga nichijou

マクベスの野心も
イカロスの愚行も
記された紙は薄く
めくれて忘れゆく
makubesu no yashin mo
ikarosu no gukou mo
kisareta kami wa usuku
mekurete wasure yuku

終わりのない時間を刻み
いつしかもう　こんな景色
歩むことは忘れること
遺るものが貴方です
owari no nai toki wo kizami
itsushika mou konna keshiki
ayumu koto wa wasureru koto
nokoru mono ga anata desu

幾千幾万の孤独な文字
繰り返しなぞって
ikusen ikuman no kodoku na moji
kurikaeshi nazotte

アイアスの嘲り
ヘレネの涙にも
光と影が潜み
表と裏がある
aiasu no azakeri
herene no namida ni mo
hikari to kage ga hisomi
omote to ura ga aru

「そんなものさ」息を吐けば
いつしかもう　こんな景色
遺すものも捨てるものも
選べぬのが人生
“sonna mono sa” iki wo hakeba
itsushika mou konna keshiki
nokosu mono mo suteru mono mo
erabenu no ga jinsei

終わりのない時間を刻み
いつしかもう　こんな景色
歩むことは忘れること
遺るものが貴方です
owari no nai toki wo kizami
itsushika mou konna keshiki
ayumu koto wa wasureru koto
nokoru mono ga anata desu

Translation

Translated by Anonymous Karakasa

I wake up on Thursday and am still listless,
Dragging along my dreams.
I’ll forget them by Friday morning though.
That’s just how it goes.

Macbeth’s ambitions,
Icarus’ foolishness –
They’re written on thin paper.
Rip it up, and they’re forgotten.

While recording the endless time,
The scenery ended up like this.
To advance means to forget –
What remains in the end is you.

The lonely letters of a gazillion years –
I follow them again and again.

Ajax’ mockery,
Helen’s tears –
Just as shadows lurk in the light,
A coin has always two sides.

“Such is life.” When exhaling that,
The scenery ended up like this.
What you keep and what you abandon –
Life means being unable to make the choice.

While recording the endless time,
The scenery ended up like this.
To advance means to forget –
What remains in the end is you.
