Rainbow

Niji

No matter how long I stand, I can't reach
いつまで立っても届かないよ
Itsumade tattemo todokanai yo
The daily routine that repeats countless times
あと何回も繰り返す日常
Ato nankai mo kurikaesu nichijou
Even if I reach it, it's not the end
たとえ届いても終わりじゃないよ
Tatoe todoite mo owari janai yo
Even if I grasp it, it slips through, a disappearing mirage
つかんでもすり抜け消える蜃気楼
Tsukande mo surinuke kieru shinkirou

I know, things can't go on like this
わかってんだよ このままじゃ駄目なこと
Wakatten dayo kono mama ja damena koto
Where did the 'ideal self' I sometimes played go?
たまに演じていた「理想の自分」はどこに行ったんですか
Tamani enjite ita "risou no jibun" wa doko ni ittan desuka?
I know, things will end like this
わかってんだよ このままじゃ終わること
Wakatten dayo kono mama ja owaru koto
Spinning around in the pouring rain in the same place
どしゃぶりの中同じとこ回ってるよ
Doshaburi no naka onaji toko mawatteru yo

When did my body become like this?
いつ体だっけこんな自分を
Itsu karadakke kon'na jibun wo
Like a rainbow, I stubbornly believe I'm a special existence
虹」のごとく特別な存在だって開き直って
"Niji" nogotoku tokubetsuna sonzai datte hirakinaotte
Even if I peek into the mirror, I can't see through
鏡を覗いても見ぬけないよ
Kagami wo nozoite mo minukenai yo
By the time I realize, I'll surely be embracing loneliness again
気づいた頃にはまたきっと孤独抱えてんだ
Kizuita koro ni wa mata kitto kodoku kakageten da

What's piercing me are lies filled with my past self
突き刺してるのは昨日の自分が入った嘘
Tsuki sasatteru no wa kinou no jibun ga haita uso
I find more things to dislike again
また嫌いなとこが増えた
Mata kiraina toko ga fueta

I know, words are myself
わかってんだよ 言葉は自分自身だ
Wakatten dayo kotoba wa jibun jishinda
Just flowing out among the gathering of the dead
ただ垂れ流してる亡者の集う中に使ってたって
Tada tare nagashiteru mouja no tsudou naka ni tsukatteta tte
I know, it's not anyone else
わかってんだよ 他の誰でもなくて
Wakatten dayo hoka no daredemo nakute
I'll show you this vast rainbow
この空いっぱいの虹をかけてみせるよ
Kono sora ippai no niji wo kakete miseru yo

Chasing after the future I once envisioned
追いかけてるのはいつか自分で描いた未来
Oikaketeru no wa itsuka jibun de kaita mirai
Blaming someone else again
また誰かのせいにしてた
Mata dareka no sei ni shiteta

I know, things can't go on like this
わかってんだよ このままじゃ駄目なこと
Wakatten dayo kono mama ja damena koto
Can I believe in the 'tomorrow self' I discovered with these eyes?
この目で見出した「明日の自分」はもう信じていいんですか
Konome de miidashita "ashita no jibun" wa mou shinjite iin desuka?
I know, there are things I must do
わかってんだよ 行かなくちゃいけないこと
Wakatten dayo ikanakucha ikenai koto
Waiting beyond the rainbow, towards another future
虹の向こうで待ってる もうひとつの未来へ
Niji no mukou de matteru mou hitotsu no mirai e
