"Behind A Vacant Image" lyrics
[Romanized:]
Nakami no nai uta o kiki asari
Kokoro ga mitasa reru wakede mo naku
Kakushi kirenai kizu to
Manmen'noemi de katarikake
Tsuburana hitomi yami o terasu
Kotae ga hoshī sora-zō ni kuchi-nashi
Ikiru tame ni kake
Sabi o otoshi rikai no ue
Hiraki nozoku
Waninatte kakomu suteru kyōyō
Manhōru kara nozoku kimitachi mo oide?
Narete kuru hazu sa
Narete kita?
Michi ni soeta hanataba ga warau
Kakushi kirenai kizu to
Manmen'noemi de katarikake
Tsuburana hitomi yami o terasu
Kotae ga hoshī sora-zō ni kuchi-nashi
Hane no nai se o muke
Kobamu mirai
Nagareta koku wa byōdō ni tou ikikata
Furitsumoru negai
Chireba itooshiku
Daremoga miyou to shinai sono hanataba ga
Mitsumeta mirai
[Japanese:]
中身の無い唄を聞き漁り
心が満たされるわけでもなく
隠しきれない傷と
満面の笑みで語りかけ
つぶらな瞳 闇を照らす
答えが欲しい 空像に口無し
生きる為にかけ
錆を落とし理解の餓え
開き覗く
輪になって囲む 捨てる教養
マンホールから覗く君達もおいで？
慣れてくるはずさ
慣れてきた？
道に添えた花束が笑う
隠しきれない傷と
満面の笑みで語りかけ
つぶらな瞳 闇を照らす
答えが欲しい 空像に口無し
羽根の無い背を向け
拒む未来
流れた刻は平等に問う 生き方
降り積もる 願い
散れば愛おしく
誰もが見ようとしない その花束が
見詰めた未来
[English translation:]
Listening away to music with no substance
Not exactly fulfilling my heart
Speaking to me with that visible scar and wide grin
Those innocent eyes light the darkness
I want an answer
The sky has no mouth
I locked it in order to live
I cleaned off the rust, starving in comprehension
I opened to take a look
Gathering around in a circle
Throwing away education
You guys looking through the manhole
Why don't you come join us?
You'll get used to it
Are you used to it?
The bouquet placed by the road laughs
Speaking to me with that visible scar and wide grin
Those innocent eyes light the darkness
I want an answer
The sky has no mouth
Turn towards the back with no wings
I reject the future
Time that has passed asks us equally, the way of life
Prayers pile up
If it scatters it means it's precious
The bouquet no one tries to see taught me
I stared at the future
