Lyrics

初めて見た時「此処に還る」と思ったの
既視感の中には 嘘の本当が宿る
hajimete mita toki “koko ni kaeru” to omotta no
dejavu no naka ni wa uso no hontou ga yadoru

懐かしいあの場所へ還りたい還りたい
懐かしいあの場所へ還れない
懐かしいあの場所へ還りたい還りたい
懐かしいあの場所へ還れない
natsukashii ano basho e kaeritai kaeritai
natsukashii ano basho e kaerenai
natsukashii ano basho e kaeritai kaeritai
natsukashii ano basho e kaerenai

私が刹那と言えば 永久も塵芥に同じ
望んだ景色の中で 笑う、あなたと
watashi ga setsuna to ieba towa mo chiriakuta ni onaji
nozonda keshiki no naka de warau, anata to

騙したわけじゃない 真実がデタラメだった
此処が故郷で 楽園そのものだから
damashita wake janai shinjitsu ga detarame datta
koko ga furusato de rakuen sono mono dakara

懐かしいあの夢へ帰りたい帰りたい
懐かしいあの夢へ帰れない
懐かしいあの夢へ帰りたい帰りたい
懐かしいあの夢へ帰れない
natsukashii ano yume e kaeritai kaeritai
natsukashii ano yume e kaerenai
natsukashii ano yume e kaeritai kaeritai
natsukashii ano yume e kaerenai

あなたを抱きしめたまま 深い眠りにつけたなら
本当も嘘も消え失せ 平穏の中に
anata wo dakishimeta mama fukai nemuri ni tsuketa nara
hontou mo uso mo kieuse heion no naka ni

青く美しいあの故郷は 昔も今も変わらず其処に
本当の牢獄はココなのだと 隠されていた真実
aoku utsukushii ano furusato wa mukashi mo ima mo kawarazu soko ni
hontou no rougoku wa koko na no da to kakusarete ita shinjitsu

死なない身体でずっと この楽園を見守るの
狂人だなんて笑う
泣かないでよ
ね?
shinanai karada de zutto kono rakuen wo mimamoru no
kyoujin da nante warau
nakanaide yo
ne?

Notes
* the word “既視感” (kishikan) in the first stanza is pronounced “dejavu”, its actual meaning.

Translation

When I first saw it, I thought, “I’m coming home”
In this sense of déjà vu, lies a false truth

I want to go back, I want to go back to that nostalgic place
I can’t go back to that nostalgic place
I want to go back, I want to go back to that nostalgic place
I can’t go back to that nostalgic place

If I call it a moment, eternity is the same as garbage
In the scenery I wanted, I’m laughing with you

I didn’t deceive you, the truth was nonsense
Since here is my hometown, this is paradise itself

I want to go back, I want to go back to that nostalgic dream
I can’t go back to that nostalgic dream
I want to go back, I want to go back to that nostalgic dream
I can’t go back to that nostalgic dream

If I could fall into a deep sleep with you in my arms
The truth and lies will disappear and I’ll be at peace

That blue and beautiful hometown is still there, just as it was and still is
The real prison is here – that’s the truth that was hidden from me

With a body that will never die, I’ll always watch over this paradise
I’m a lunatic, I laugh at that
Don’t cry
Hey?
