Inner Light

歌詞

窓から差し込む光は眩しくて
突き刺さる熱　中々抜けず
何度目か　忘れてる朝を迎え
あの頃みたいに生きる

おはようの一言から
一日が始まる
いつまでも　いつでも
陽が沈んでく

いつも花が揺れて　虫が歌い
月が光り　寄り添いあって
最初に嘘を　終わりに嘘を
ずっと笑い続けられる
夢なら見続けたい

季節が変わる中　変わらないモノは
顔を洗う猫と　澄んだ蝶の羽
一人で飽きるほど見た　世の中を
何度も　何度でも
巻き戻されて

人は声を上げて　怒り笑い
いつか　いつか　笑顔で眠る
この世に生を　あの世に生を
きっと眠り続けられる
夢なら醒めたくない

水の中でもがく　夢の中の蝶は
この世界では狭いくらいで
目を離した瞬間に
空へ消えてしまうからこそ

人は忘れ去った　歴史の中
積み重ねて　命を繋ぐ
自分に嘘を　自分に嘘を
きっと　蝶の夢へと
昨日の嘘と　明日の嘘
ずっと　ずっと　現実の中
私が居て　私が消えて
ここはどこ？
夢すら見れずにいる
取りあえずは
おやすみなさい

Translation

The light streaming in from my window is so bright.
The heat pierces me, and is trapped inside.
I greet the morning – how many have I seen?
I live, like in those days.

From the moment I say “good morning,”
The day begins.
Forever, always,
The sun will sink.

The flowers always sway, the bugs always sing,
And the moon shines and draws close.
At the beginning, and at the end,
I could continue to smile and lie to myself.
If this is a dream, I want it to continue.

In the changing seasons, the things that don’t change
Are the cat, washing their face, and the transparent butterfly’s wings.
I’ve seen the world so much I’m tired of being alone,
But many times, countless times,
It has been rewound.

People raise their voices – they rage, they laugh.
Someday, someday, they will sleep with a smile on their faces.
In this world, and in that world…
Surely, I can seep and continue living in them!
If this a dream, I don’t want to wake up.

This world is so narrow,
Because as soon as I took my eyes off
The butterfly in my dreams, floundering in the water,
It flew to the sky and vanished.

Inside a history left behind by humans,
I tie together those accumulated lives.
I lie to myself. I lie to myself,
Saying I am heading towards the butterfly’s dream.
Yesterday’s lies and tomorrow’s lies
Always, always, exist in reality.
I exist. I disappear.
Where am I now?
Now, I exist without being able to even dream.
But for the time being…
Good night.
