lyrics

遠雷と君

「こんにちは」
「こんにちは」
「はじめましてかな」
「はじめましてだね」
帰り道を見失った僕らだから手を引き合ってゆく
ゆっくりと丁寧に硬い穂先で石畳を鳴らして

ある日この身には過ぎた眩しさがなだれ落ち
五つに切り分けられたギフトの一つを取り除いた
誰もが身を屈め
赤子のようになっている
やっと掴んだ手は自分のそれと同じくらい
おとなの人じゃなくてよかった
似たもの同士で歩いてゆこう

グラスのふちに指を這わせて注ぐとき
零れた水の冷たさにうろたえると「へたくそ」と君は笑った
素直でいられるのは
自由が取り除かれ
一呼吸置いて話せるから?
それともただ世界が壊れたから?

耳で触れ
鼻で味わい
舌で聴く
そして肌でこの町の混迷を

いつか足元から浮き上がった視点が教えてくれる
移ろいの君のその掌の体温の

やがてこの関係は終わると思う
日常は慣れという形でやってくる
想像したら少し顔が赤らむ
願わくば君よ
その時は遠雷に
去りゆくことで姿を見せるその眩しさに
目を奪われたまま別れよう
面と向き合い自己紹介することもなく
でもどちらかが望んだとしたら




Thunder

"Hello."
"Hello."
"Have we ever met before?"
"Probably not."
We both lost our way home,
so we pull each other's hands together.
Slowly and carefully, we clink the stick on the cobblestone.

One day an intense brightness fell from the sky,
and it removed one of our five gifts.
Everyone fell down and became like a baby.
The hand I finally grasped was similar to mine.
Lucky me, it wasn’t an adult's hand.
Why don’t we kindred spirits walk together?

I poured water with my finger crawling along the edge of the glass.
"You are terrible at this."
You laughed at me when I winced at the coldness of the spilled water.
I’ve found that I can be honest with you.
Is it because the freedom is gone and we can talk without prejudice?
Or is it just because the world is broken?

Touch with your ears.
Taste with your nose.
Listen with your tongue.
And with your skin, you can see the confusion of this town.

Someday, the scenery that floats up from my feet will tell me the warmth of your palm.

I think this relationship will eventually end.
Everyday life starts at the time we get used to this world.
I blushed a little when I imagined it.
Dear you,
Let’s part our ways when the time comes, with our eyes still blinded by the thunder.
The brightness that shows itself by leaving this place.
We would probably not face each other and introduce ourselves.
But what if either of us wish to?
