Translation
It’s burned in my memory so strongly it will never vanish
Despair, disappointment – gloom no matter where you go
It’s so suffocating now that you can’t even take a breath
I so badly want to grasp the hand held out to me, but I can’t
I shake it off, unable to trust anyone
If only I could have accepted things the way they are
Without doubting everything reflected in my eyes
I wonder if days will come when we can call
The things that fall from our blinking eyes, “love”?
If my eyes were clear as the day I was born
Could I see what things are irreplacible?
Love, friendship, exchanged promises
Are things I’ve never known, and can’t believe in
Can you see it or not; What color is a “heart”?
The more I stared at it, the blurrier it got
Irritation and hatred stir up my heart
And that makes me break so easily
I draw over and over the outline of a curve
So weak it seems like it could vanish at any moment
It just looks murky, but if I make it even murkier until it turns black
Then before I know it, everything will be concealed by the darkness
The world was sliced in two by my anxiety and resignation
So badly, I’ve even lost sight of where I belong
And then I realized
The meaning of accepting the hand held out to me
That kindness means, “forgiveness”
If the drops of water that fall from someone’s kindness
Shines through someone’s darkness again
I feel a certain light of hope, even with my eyes closed
It’s burned in my memory so strongly it will never vanish
Japanese Lyrics
焼きつくほどに 強く消えない
絶望 失望 どこまでも暗い
息を吸うのさえも もう苦しくて
掴みたい 掴めない 差し伸べられた手を
誰も信じられず 振り払ってしまう
目に映るすべてを 疑うことなく
ただありのまま 受け止められたなら
瞬きするたびに こぼれおちるものを
愛と呼べる日々が くるのかな
生まれたときのような 澄んだ瞳なら
かけがえのないものが 見えるの?
愛情 友情 交わした約束
触れやしないから 信じあえなくなる
視える 視えない”こころ”は何色?
深く覗き込む程 滲んでしまう
苛立ちと憎しみが 精神(こころ)を掻き乱す
そして簡単に 僕は壊れていく
今にも消えそうな か弱い曲線で
輪郭を描いては 塗り重ねていく
濁るだけ濁して 黒くなるくらいなら
いっそ全てを覆う闇で 隠して
不安や諦めで 断ち切ってしまった世界
自分の居場所も 見失ってしまう
そして今気付いた
差し伸べられた手を 受け止める事の意味
やさしさとは「ゆるす」ということ
誰かの温もりで こぼれおちた雫が
また誰かの闇を 照らせたなら
この眼を閉ざしても 感じる確かな希望(ひかり)
焼きつくほどに強く 消えない
