lyrics

歌姫とそこにあれ

忘れていた
多くの熱気と肩を並べて
おとぎ話に身を投じていたこと
それを知ってなお
平気な顔してステージへと向き直る

周りのすべてがマネキンに思えた
なのに今は怖くもないし辛くもない
熟れた空気にむせ込まないのは
楽に呼吸していられているってこと
たくさんの人影のそばで

空の青が海となり
日差しをちりばむ雨が降り注ぐ
火傷した靴底が微笑み出し
かざした先へと誘われる
彼女の詞と響きが無差別に
影たちの無関心を濡らしていけば
僕はイリヤとだって踊り
踊らされ
手を取り踊る

人形が照らされ
影絵が紡ぐ
それは普遍的ストーリーのパロディ
僕だけに歌われた歌じゃないからこそ
ここにいてもいいんだと思わせる
誰かと分かち合う呪いとなる
決して一人ではない

全てを覆すほどの
雫のタクトが振るわれる
１００万人のための彼女がフロアに微笑めば
誰一人の孤独も諦めない
寄り添うおとぎ話が加速するはずさ

浮かぶ空の青が海となって
日差しをちりばむ雨が降り注ぐ
皆が答えを一つにした時
そこには誰がいるのだろうか
そんなことを思いながら
僕らはイデアとだって踊り
踊らされ
手を取り踊る



Diva Under the Blue Sky

I had forgotten,
I was throwing myself into a fairy tale alongside so much madness.
And yet, even knowing this,
I stare back at the stage as if I don’t care about anything.

There was a time,
when everything around me seemed like a mannequin.
But now I don’t feel any fear or pain.
I’m not choking on this muddy air.
I’m breathing easily near plenty of people.

The blue sky becomes the sea,
and rain falls down sparkling with sunlight.
The burned soles of my shoes begin to smile,
and I am moved towards the place where she points.
As her lyrics and sound equally make their indifference wet,
I dance, am made to dance, and dance hand in hand even with Ilya.

The shadow puppets are illuminated,
and the shadows weave a parody of an oft-told story.
It makes me feel ok to be here,
because the song wasn't sung just for me.
It becomes the magic that makes you all and me understand each other.
I am never alone.

The baton of the water drop is waved
with enormous energy that can overturn everything.
When she smiles at the million people,
the fairy tale that cuddles up and never gives up their loneliness will heat up.

The blue floating sky becomes the sea,
and rain falls down sparkling with sunlight.
Who will be there when everyone has the same answer?
With these kind of thoughts going through my head,
I dance, am made to dance, and dance hand in hand even with Idea.
