Lyrics
そうやって いつまでも
なんだって ごまかして
単純なことばかり 繰り返して
sou yatte itsu made mo
nandatte gomakashite
tanjun na koto bakari kurikaeshite
自分だけは違うんだって
口ばかりでただダラダラと
生きる意味 問えるほど君、生きてる？
jibun dake wa chigau ndatte
kuchi bakari de tada daradara to
ikiru imi toeru hodo kimi, ikiteru?
光るように見えてた夢も嘘も
ゆらゆらと陽炎ゆれて
己さえも見えない虫けらたち
みんな同じ いのち
hikaru you ni mieteta yume mo uso mo
yurayura to kagerou yurete
onore sae mo mienai mushikeratachi
minna onaji inochi
どうやって 手を抜こう
こうやって 楽しよう
人間は生きているだけで罪
dou yatte te wo nukou
kou yatte raku shiyou
ningen wa ikite iru dake de tsumi
みんな違ってみんないいって
逃げ口上つかってみても
冷や汗はとめどなくただ流れる
minna chigatte minna ii tte
nigekoujou tsukatte mitemo
hiyaase wa tomedonaku tada nagareru
「光れない」と笑ってつぶやいても
本当は夢を見てる
生まれ持った枠からはずれたいの
とても無理な はなし
“hikarenai” to waratte tsubuyaitemo
hontou wa yume wo miteru
umaremotta waku kara hazuretai no
totemo muri na hanashi
光ることが出来たら
素晴らしいね
初めから出来ないのにね
無駄な努力 そんなのこの世に無い
信じてれば シアワセ
信じれれば 幸せ
hikaru koto ga dekitara
subarashii ne
hajime kara dekinai no ni ne
muda na doryoku sonna no kono yo ni nai
shinjitereba shiawase
shinjirereba shiawase
Translation
That’s how it will always be
I’ll do whatever I can to cover it up
Repeating the simple things
I’m the only one who’s different
I’m all talk and no action
Are you alive enough to question the meaning of life?
The dreams and lies that seemed to shine
They sway with the heat haze
Insects who can’t even see themselves
We all have the same life
How can I cut corners?
Let’s have fun like this
Human beings are guilty just for being alive
Everyone is different, everyone is good
Even if I try to use an excuse
The cold sweat just keeps flowing
“I can’t shine”, I smile and mumble
But the truth is I’m dreaming
I want to get out of the box I was born in
It’s just so impossible
I wish I could shine
Wouldn’t that be wonderful?
I can’t even begin to
There’s no such thing as wasted effort in this world
If I believe, I’ll be happy
If you believe, you’ll be happy
