カナリヤ / Canary

踏み出す奥深くに 一歩目の重要性
正しさを問う日常マンネリ
目を塞いで生きたいのに余裕なんてないんだよ
いつもの偏頭痛 fight again
自分の言葉で砕いて飲み込んで
吹きすさぶ風のように虚しくflow
何が残る?
埃にまみれたカナリヤの籠
それはありふれた涙の過去
どんなに綺麗に鳴いたところで
本当の声は聞こえやしない
僕はダミ声のカナリヤ

The profound importance of the first step
Daily mannerisms that question truth
I wish to live my life blindly but I have no freedom to
This perpetual migraine   fight again
To break down and take in my own words
Just like the meaningless flow of a raging wind
What is there left?
A canary’s cage covered in dust
That is the mundane past filled with tears
No matter how beautiful its cry
Its true voice cannot be heard
I am a hoarse1 canary

試しに気がふれたって誰が罪に問うだろう
動きを止めた地球に唾吐く
耳塞いでも聞こえる雑音は嫌いだよ
喉枯れるまでsing a song
置き去りにしてきた理想も幻想も
遠ざかる影を追い越せないまま
何が見える?
確かな答えはカナリヤの籠
とても危うい秘めた傷跡
決して報われぬ恋だとしても
引き換えの声は捧げるだけ
僕は 僕は 歌えない カナリヤ ah
my voice to you for love and hate,yeah

If I were to lose my mind who could I blame
To rage at the world that has stopped revolving
Even if I plug my ears I can still hear that detestable noise
Until my throat withers   sing a song
The ideals and illusions I have came to desert
While I am unable to overtake the distant shadows
What can be seen?
The absolute answer is a canary’s cage
The carefully concealed scars
Even if it is an unrequited love
I just wish to offer my voice in exchange
I am a canary unable to sing
my voice to you for love and hate, yeah

止めたはずの時計の秒針が
刻んでる 今も 刻んでる 今を
変わらないのは悔やむ気持ちだけ
いつも終わって気付く

The frozen second hand of the clock
It is still ticking away, even now  it is still ticking away
Only my feelings of regret remain unchanged
Always aware of the moment it ends

埃にまみれたカナリヤの籠
それはありふれた涙の過去
どんなに綺麗に鳴いたところで
本当の声は聞こえやしない
僕は 僕は ダミ声の カナリヤ ah
歌えない
僕は 壊れたいみたいだ

A canary’s cage covered in dust
That is the mundane past filled with tears
No matter how beautiful its cry
Its true voice cannot be heard
I am    I am a hoarse canary
unable to sing
I want to destroy it

NOTES:

1ダミ声 translates to a thick, unclear voice. Dull, muffled, hoarse voice. but thick-voiced canary sounds absolutely horrible.
