アイデンティティ || Identity

歌詞

要らないモノなんて　沢山あるけれど
捨てられないモノで　今日も僕は埋もれてる
去年の週刊誌　作りかけのガンダム
アイデンティティなんて　ほんとは空っぽだった

過去と未来のその間にある
不器用な　自分を　現実というらしい

目覚めてすぐの僕の部屋に　遠くに沈む西日さす
今日は昨日のコピーですか　間違い探しは分からぬまま
だれも知らない明日だって　つまずく場所だけ分かるんです
何者でもない僕たちに　気付かずバスは通り去った

言い訳しません　後悔しません
僕のお願いを　考えて下さい
誰かに憧れて　誰かのマネをして
それが自分だって　いつも勘違いしてた

好きと嫌いのその間にある
感情を　言葉に　すれば　僕は別に

歪んだ夕日に見えたのは　自分が少し歪んでた
最初は慣れないようだけど　気付けば僕らのアイデンティティ
君と僕が違うならば　一番上の仮面はいで
交換してみてくれないか　眺めが少しは変わるだろ

過去と未来のその間にある
不器用な　自分を　現実というらしい

目覚めてすぐの僕の部屋に　遠くに沈む西日さす
今日は昨日のコピーですか　間違い探しは分からぬまま
だれも知らない明日だって　つまずく場所だけ分かるんです
何者でもない僕たちに　気付かずバスは通り去った

ほらまた　いくよ

Translation

There’s plenty of things I don’t need,
But today, too, I’m buried under the things I can’t throw away.
Last year’s weekly magazines, Gundam figurines I’m building…
Hah, I guess my identity was actually hollow…

Existing in the space between the past and the future,
I seem to call my awkward self ‘reality.’

In my room, right after I’ve woken up, the rays of the distant setting sun shine in.
Is today a copy of yesterday? I search for differences, but I still don’t see them.
I just know a tomorrow unknown to all is a stumbling block.
Taking no notice of us nobodies, the bus went past, into the distance…

I won’t make excuses. I won’t regret it.
Please, think about my request.
I longed for somebody. I imitated somebody.
And that was me – I was always mistaken.

My feelings exist in the space between love and hate,
If you put them into words… “I don’t mind.”

In the distorted setting sun, I could see myself slightly distorted, too.
I couldn’t get used to it at first, but if you notice it, it’s our identity.
If you and I are different, then peel off our topmost masks.
Won’t you try and swap yours with mine? The view might change, just a bit…

Existing in the space between the past and the future,
I seem to call my awkward self ‘reality.’

In my room, right after I’ve woken up, the rays of the distant setting sun shine in.
Is today a copy of yesterday? I search for differences, but I still don’t see them.
I just know a tomorrow unknown to all is a stumbling block.
Taking no notice of us nobodies, the bus went past, into the distance…

Come, we’ll go again!
