Zoetrope

Zoetrope

Zoetrope

I ran away without looking back
かけおちなくしてしまった
kakeochi nakushite shimatta
Searching for the final component
さいごのコンポーネントをさがして (component)
saigo no konpoonento wo sagashite (component)
Tracing the distant stars
はるかなほしをたどり
haruka na hoshi wo tadori
To the end of the sky dyed in rainbow colors
にじいろにそまるそらのはてへ
nijiiro ni somaru sora no hate he

Caught in the small days overflowing from the gaps
すきまからこぼれだすちいさなひにとらわれ
sukima kara koboredasu chiisa na hi ni toraware
Walking on the path with a faint light
はくじつむににたみちあるきあるき
hakujitsumu ni nita michi aruki aruki
The accelerating attraction
かそくするいんりょくが
kasoku suru inryoku ga
The repeating repulsion
くりかえすどうりょくが
kurikaesu douryoku ga
Won't let go of my heart
わたしのこころごとはなさない
watashi no kokorogoto hanasanai

Just take me as I am
このままつれだしてよ
kono mama tsure dashite yo
Piecing together the fragments and threads
ちりくずとりゅうしのはしつなぎあわせて
chirikuzu to ryuushi no hashi tsunagiawasete
If you peek into the created sensation
つくりだすかんをのぞきこめば
tsukuridasu kan wo nozokikomeba
It changes shape each time
そのたびにかたちをかえ
sono tabi ni katachi wo kae
And begins to spin
まわりはじめる
mawari hajimeru
To meet me once again
またわたしにそうであうために
mata watashi ni sou deau tame ni

I can't rely on anything
なにひとつたよれない
nani hitotsu tayorenai
I can't believe in anything
なにひとつしんじられない
nani hitotsu shinjirarenai
If only it could be saved in a dream
せめてゆめであればすくわれたのに
semete yume de areba sukuwareta no ni

The approaching fate
そそがれるうんめいが
sosogareru unmei ga
Is mending my hands
りょうてをみたしてゆく
ryoute wo mitashite yuku
I'm not enough alone
わたしひとりだけじゃたりない
watashi hitori dake ja tarinai

Before it overflows
あふれてしまうまえに
afurete shimau mae ni

Accept and support it
うけとめてささえていて
uketomete sasaete ite
Even if just a little
すこしだけでも
sukoshi dake demo
To create a tomorrow to believe
むいみなせかいなんてないと
muimi na sekai nante nai to
That there's no meaningless world
しんじるためのあしたをつくりあげるの
shinjiru tame no ashita wo tsukuri ageru no
I won't give up anymore
もうあきらめたりしないから
mou akirametari shinai kara

Overflowing from the gaps
すきまからこぼれだす
sukima kara koboredasu
Into the endless eternity
にどとないえいえんにを
nido to nai eien ni wo

Now
いま
ima
Hold it with your hands
そのてでつかんで
sono te de tsukan de
And just take me along
そのままつれていってよ
sono mama tsurete itte yo

The overlapping kaleidoscopes
かさなりあういくつものカレイドスコープ (kaleidoscope)
kasanariau ikutsu mono kareidosukoopu (kaleidoscope)
Reflect endlessly wherever they look
どこまでもみらいうつしつづけ
doko made mo mirai utsushitsuzuke
The one pattern that couldn't be imagined
そうぞうもできなかったひとつのもようが
souzou mo dekinakatta hitotsu no moyou ga
Fills the final gap
さいごのすきまをうめていく
saigo no sukima wo umete iku
