Lyrics

振り向けば 昨日を振り返ってる自分
つまづいて 擦り剥けた膝抱え
furimukeba kinou wo furikaetteru jibun
tsumadzuite surimuketa hiza kakae

『あの時どうして』『ああしていれば』
呪文の様に脳みそ犯す
“ano toki doushite” “aa shite ireba”
jumon no you ni noumiso okasu

負け続けて負け続けて 果ての見えない波に襲われ
飲み込まれて飲み込まれて もう藻掻いたこの手はずぶ濡れ
『気づけば朝』を繰り返して 疲れた手を伸ばしてる
一か罰の一を追い求め
maketsudzukete maketsudzukete hate no mienai nami ni osoware
nomikomarete nomikomarete mou mogaita kono te wa zubunure
“kidzukeba asa” wo kurikaeshite tsukareta te wo nobashiteru
ichi ka bachi no ichi wo oimotome

浅過ぎる呼吸で声にならない声
飲み込んだ言葉喉につかえて
asasugiru kokyuu de koe ni naranai koe
nomikonda kotoba nodo ni tsukaete

幼い頃に見ていた夢は
幻じゃないと誰かが言う
osanai koro ni mite ita yume wa
maboroshi janai to dareka ga iu

負け続けて負け続けて でも諦めずに立ち上がって
歩き続け歩き続け まだ見たこと無いもの見えるの?
『気づけば朝』を繰り返して 疲れた手を伸ばしてる
一か罰の一を追い求め
いつかを夢見て
maketsudzukete maketsudzukete demo akiramezu ni tachiagatte
arukitsudzuke arukitsudzuke mada mita koto nai mono mieru no?
“kidzukeba asa” wo kurikaeshite tsukareta te wo nobashiteru
ichi ka bachi no ichi wo oimotome
itsuka wo yumemite

Translation

When I turn around, I look back at yesterday.
I stumble. I hold my scratched knees

“Why didn’t I do it then?” “Ah, if only I’d done that…”
They are like a spell that tortures my brain.

I keep losing, I keep losing. I’m hit by waves with no end in sight.
I’m swallowed, I’m swallowed. My hands are soaked from struggling.
“Before I realize it, it’s morning”, it repeats. I’m stretching out my tired hand
I pursue the one of one or punishment.

With a very shallow breath in my voiceless voice
The words I swallowed got stuck in my throat

The dreams I had as a child
Were not illusions. Someone said that.

I keep losing, I keep losing. But I don’t give and I stand up.
I keep walking, I keep walking. Can I see something I haven’t seen before?
“Before I realize it, it’s morning”, it repeats. I’m stretching out my tired hand
I pursue the one of one or punishment.
Dreaming of a future.
