Modern Times

Floating in the night sky, a silver skyscraper
よぞらにうかぶぎんのすかいすくれいぱ
yozora ni ukabu gin no sukaisukureipa
The searchlight illuminates the darkness
さあちらいとがふこうをてらす
saachi raito ga fukoo o terasu
Within the blinking of the elevator
えれべいたのてんめつのなか
erebeiita no tenmetsu no naka
You imitated me lazily
きみはけだるくぼくをまねいた
kimi wa kedaruku boku o maneita

Lighting a match in the dark room
くらいろーかでまっちともして
kurai rooka de macchi tomoshite
Searching for the horizon
きいほるだーをさがすよこがお
kiihorudaa o sagasu yokogao
As if we met two hours ago
にじかんまえにしりあったまま
ni jikan mae ni shiriatta mama
You haven't even heard my name yet
まだなまえさえきいてないよね
mada namae sae kiitenaiyone

Modern Times, it's better not to have a name
Modern Times、なまえなどないほうが
Modern Times, namae nado nai hoo ga
Modern Times, that's how it is now
Modern Times、いまふうなのよ
Modern Times, imafuu nanoyo
But my heart sang
だけどこころはうたったはずさ
dakedo kokoro wa utatta hazusa
A love song from a delayed era
じだいおくれのらぶそんぐ
jidai okure no rabu songu

Watching the TV screen late at night
しんやTVのちゃっぷりんみて
shinya TV no chappurin mite
Hey, aren't we similar?
ほらぼくたちににていないかい
hora bokutachi ni niteinaikai
The more you look at life
いきてることにしょうじききなほど
ikiteru koto ni shooji kina hodo
The more meaningless it seems
にとからみればどうけななんだね
ni to kara mireba dookena ndane

Modern Times, giving up kindness
Modern Times、やさしさをすてるのが
Modern Times, yasashi sa o suteru no ga
Modern Times, that's how it is now
Modern Times、いまふうだけど
Modern Times, imafuu dakedo
You're like an old-fashioned guy
ふるいたいぷのおとこなんだよ
furui taipu no otokona ndayo
A love song from a delayed era
じだいおくれのらぶそんぐ
jidai okure no rabu songu

Waking up alone in a double bed
だぶるべっどにひとりめざめた
daburu beddo ni hitori mezameta
The morning light is turquoise
あさのひかりはじゅらるみんしょく
asa no hikari wa juraruminshoku
You've disappeared after all
やっぱりきみはきえちまったね
yappari kimi wa kiechimattane
The shower water is lukewarm
しゃわーの水がはりのようだよ
shawaa no mizu ga hari no yoodayo

If you were closer than this
もしもこれいじょうそばにいたなら
moshimo kore ijoo soba ni itanara
We would have started loving each other
あいしはじめてしまいそうなの
aishi hajimete shimai soonano
If I break the memo on the table
てーぶるのうえめもをやぶれば
teeburu no ue memo o yabureba
The scent of your hair faintly sweetens
かみのかおりがかすかにあまく
kami no kaori ga kasuka ni amaku

Modern Times, disappearing casually
Modern Times、さりげなくきえるのが
Modern Times, sarigenaku kieru no ga
Modern Times, that's how it is now
Modern Times、いまふうなのよ
Modern Times, imafuu nanoyo
It's okay to shed tears
なみだぐらいはながしていいね
namida gurai wa nagashite iine
A love song from a delayed era
じだいおくれのらぶそんぐ
jidai okure no rabu songu

Modern Times, uuh
Modern Times、うう
Modern Times, uuh
Modern Times, uuh
Modern Times、うう
