Close

[nebulancer]

English translation:

Words are nothing but symbols

They trace shapeless, transparent feelings

Ah

Conveying what I want is so difficult

That I get further and further away from the purest answer

 

Looks like I’ve given up today, too...

 

The words hidden inside of my heart

Are not a mistake, are not nonsense

But, but, but...

These feelings I built up when I was young

Are so gently and quietly

Closing off my world

 

I wanted to respond to someone else’s expectations

So I formed my clear, direct feelings

Ah

Frustrated that they couldn’t reach,

I ended up changing them into something ambiguous, indefinite

 

Today, too, the words that I kept clutching onto...

 

How many times has it been?

Every time I repeat,

I become so awkward

But still, but still...

 

The words hidden inside of my heart

Are not a mistake, are not nonsense

But, but, but...

These feelings I built up when I was young

Are so gently and quietly

Closing off my world

Kanji:

 

言葉は記号でしかなくて

形のない　透明な

想いをなぞる

Ah

伝えることは難しくて

純粋な　答えから

遠ざかってく

 

今日も　諦めてしまったな…

 

心の中に隠れている

言葉たちは

間違いじゃない

戯言じゃない

けど、けど、けど

幼い頃に作り上げた

この気持ちが

そう優しく、静かに

世界を閉ざしている

 

誰かの期待に答えたくて

曇りのない　真っ直ぐな

想いを描く

Ah

届かないことがもどかしくて

曖昧に　有耶無耶に

変えてしまう

 

今日も　握りしめたままの

言の葉

 

何回目だろう

繰り返すたび

ぎこちなくなる

だけど、だけど…

 

心の中に隠れている

言葉たちは

間違いじゃない

戯言じゃない

けど、けど、けど

幼い頃に作り上げた

この気持ちが

そう優しく、静かに

世界を閉ざしている
