JAPANESE
あの場所に 行きたくって
旅に出る シタクして
後はただ ひたすら走り続けて
近付けば 近付く程
どことなく 気付きだして
なのにまだ 見てみぬフリなんてして
だけどもう 引き返す
コトなんて 出来ないような
ところまで 来た頃に躊躇しだして
立ち止まる ソレさえも
怖くって 壊れそうで
泣いていた 私にあなたは言った
悲しいのは諦めてしまうコトだと
美しすぎるものばかり
集めて並べて眺めて
キレイな夢ばかり見ては
現実をただ嘆いてたの
幸せの 形なんて
創ろうと してみたって
愛情に ワケはないのと同じで
きっとそう 頭の中
難しく 考えスギ
出るはずも ない答え探していた
楽しいダケそんな日々はもういらない
追いかけて追われているうちに
居場所すら見失いそうで
これ以上キズつかぬようにと
目を閉じたまま背を向けてた
美しすぎるものばかり
集めて並べて眺めて
キレイな夢ばかり見ては
現実をただ嘆いた
ココがどんな場所であっても
これらどこを通っても
自由と孤独わけ合って
今ならありのまま行けそう
ENGLISH (Translation)
I want to go to that place.
I've prepared for my journey;
all that's left is to start running.
The closer I get, the more
I seem to understand,
but I still pretend not to see.
But I've come to the point
where I can't turn back,
and that's where I hesitate.
Even stopping
scares me. Fragile and
crying, you said to me:
Being sad is the same as giving up.
In gathering, displaying, and viewing
only beautiful things
and seeing only beautiful dreams,
I was only lamenting reality.
Trying to give a shape to
happiness is the same as
saying there's no reason behind love.
Yes, I've been thinking too hard,
in my head. I've been searching
for answers I don't expect to find.
I'm tired of those days of meaningless fun.
While chasing and being chased,
I've lost sight of my home.
So as not to be hurt any more,
I closed my eyes and turned away.
In gathering, displaying, and viewing
only beautiful things
and seeing only beautiful dreams,
I only lamented reality.
No matter what this place is like,
no matter where I go next,
I'll share my freedom and loneliness.
I think I can make it as I am now.
