Description
Like the morning after a noisy night: Shibuya has not yet cooled down from the lights and bars, and pale light is already pouring into the streets. Yawning, fatigue, emptiness - and suddenly a quiet but real voice breaks through from within, one that has long been hidden behind masks. Everything around seems too ordinary, but it is in this ‘ordinariness’ that one's own, chosen colour appears for the first time.
This is a song about how scary it is to love what is yours, to insist on your own way and to move forward when your eyelids are heavy and comparisons with others weigh you down. It is about how pain and doubts become tools rather than burdens. And about how every stroke on the canvas - even crooked and shaky - turns into a weapon and a light that you have built for yourself.
Lyrics and translation
Original
嗚呼いつもの様に
過ぎる日々にあくびが出る
さんざめく夜越え今日も
渋谷の街に朝が降る
どこか虚しいような
そんな気持ち
つまらないな
でもそれでいい
そんなもんさ
これでいい
知らず知らず隠してた
本当の声を響かせてよほら
見ないフリしていても
確かにそこにある
嗚呼 感じたままに描く
自分で選んだその色で
眠い空気纏う朝に
訪れた青い世界
好きなものを好きだと言う
怖くて仕方ないけど
本当の自分
出会えた気がしたんだ
嗚呼 手を伸ばせば伸ばすほどに
遠くへゆく
思うようにいかない今日も
また慌ただしくもがいてる
悔しい気持ちも ただ情けなくて
涙が出る
踏み込むほど 苦しくなる
痛くもなる
嗚呼 感じたままに進む
自分で選んだこの道を
重いまぶた擦る夜に
しがみついた青い誓い
好きなことを続けること
それは楽しいだけじゃない
本当にできる
不安になるけど
嗚呼 何枚でも ほら何枚でも
自信がないから描いてきたんだよ
嗚呼 何回でも ほら何回でも
積み上げてきたことが武器になる
周りを見たって 誰と比べたって
僕にしかできないことはなんだ
今でも自信なんかない それでも
感じたことない気持ち
知らずにいた想い
あの日踏み出して
初めて感じたこの痛みも全部
好きなものと向き合うことで
触れたまだ小さな光
大丈夫 行こう あとは楽しむだけだ
嗚呼 全てを賭けて描く
自分にしか出せない色で
朝も夜も走り続け
見つけ出した青い光
好きなものと向き合うこと
今だって怖いことだけど
もう今はあの日の透明な僕じゃない
嗚呼 ありのままの
かけがえの無い僕だ
知らず知らず隠してた
本当の声を響かせてよほら
見ないフリしていても
確かにそこに今もそこにあるよ
知らず知らず隠してた
本当の声を響かせてよさあ
見ないフリしていても
確かにそこに君の中に
English translation
Ah, as usual
I yawn as the days pass by
Today too, through the rustling night
Morning falls on the streets of Shibuya
It feels empty somehow
That feeling
It's boring
But that's fine
That's how it is
This is fine
I hid it without knowing it
Hey, let your true voice resonate
Even if I pretend not to see it
it's definitely there
Ah, I draw what I feel
With the color you chose
In the morning with a sleepy air
The blue world I visited
say you like what you like
I can't help but be scared
true self
I felt like I was able to meet you
Ah, the more I reach out, the more
go far away
Even today, things don't go as planned
I'm struggling in a hurry again
Even though I feel frustrated, I just feel pathetic.
Tears come out
The more you push into it, the harder it gets.
It even hurts
Ah, move on as you feel
This path I chose for myself
At night when I rub my heavy eyelids
The blue oath I held on to
continue doing what you like
It's not just fun
you can really do it
I feel anxious though
Ah, as many as you like, as many as you like
I've been drawing because I don't have confidence.
Ah, no matter how many times, no matter how many times
What you have accumulated becomes a weapon
No matter who I look around, no matter who I compare myself to
What is it that only I can do?
I still don't have any confidence, but still
Feelings I've never felt before
Thoughts I didn't know
Step out that day
All this pain that I felt for the first time
By facing what you like
The small light I touched
It's okay, let's go, just have fun.
Ah, I'm risking everything to draw
With colors that only I can create
Keep running morning and night
The blue light I found
facing what you like
Even now it's scary
I'm no longer the transparent me of that day.
Ah, as it is
I'm irreplaceable
I hid it without knowing it
Hey, let your true voice resonate
Even if I pretend not to see it
It's definitely there and it's still there
I hid it without knowing it
Let your true voice resonate
Even if I pretend not to see it
Certainly there in you
