lyrics

土踏まず

思えばいい
自由なら心は自分に向けていればいい
こじ開けられた柵は
遠い誰かの靴跡

捨てられたハードコート
つぎはぎの金網
藪の奥へ延びる小径横目に
ただ僕だけの場所を駆け回る

好奇心は猫をも殺す
木漏れ日と舗装という誤算
ウサギが落ちた穴の底の先には
ただの集合住宅があるだけだった

一人想えばいい
孤独でなければ想像はどこにも行けない
僕だけのエデンに息づいていたのは
遠い君の土踏まず

大きくなったスニーカー
茂るコートではまだ遊べるか
切り取られた針金はまだあるか
置き去りのボールは

あの日に叱られていたら変われなかった
思い出と恥は今もあの場所で光を放っているのか
優しく見守って

ただ一人想えばいい
身体が孤独である限り想像力は一人にならない
顔も名前も知らない君が残した息遣い
いるのかどうかも分からない君が残した連なり
遠い誰かの土踏まず

たとえば僕にはそっけない町に住む人のただいま
たとえば図書館の本に引かれた線
たとえばテレビクルーが引き上げた鍾乳洞
たとえばこの曲を人知れず聴いているあなたも



Footprints

Just think of yourself.
If you're free, just keep your mind to yourself.
The pried open fences are shoe marks of someone far away.

An abandoned hardcourt.
A crudely repaired wire mesh fence.
I just run around in my own place
looking sideways at the path extending deep into the bushes.

Curiosity can kill a cat.
Sunlight through the trees and paved road were unexpected.
There was nothing but a housing complex at the bottom of the hole where the rabbit fell.

Imagine.
Your imagination can't go anywhere without solitude.
It was the footprints of someone far away that lived in my Eden.

My sneakers got bigger.
Not sure if I can still play on the court covered with grass.
Is the cut wire still there?
How about the ball left behind?

I couldn't change myself if I’d been scolded that day.
Do memories and shame still shine there?
Are they watching me gently?

Just imagine.
Your imagination will never be alone as long as your body is alone.
The breath you, whose face and name I do not know, left behind.
The path you, who I don’t even know if you’re here, left behind.
Footprints of someone far away.

The time someone, who lives in town I do not know, came back home.
The line drawn on a book in the library.
The limestone cave where the TV crews already left.
You, too, who are listening to this song without being known to others.
