ソラゴト (Soragoto) – Lies
from Sora no ki album.
—–
Like a vintage, shining with dull light
Carved out of thousands of moments
The tiny seam’s purpose
Should have been unwavering
Since when did it shift off-point?
Flirting under the glittering city lights
Even the sky, obscured by heavy clouds
Could not be seen
All the words
All the promises
I’ve used them all
Let’s meet up once more
In that scenario which belongs to us
That we saw that day
These feelings
Just overflow
I try to scoop them up with both hands, but
Chasing dreams, being chased by dreams
They slip through my fingers
I want to deliver to you
Colourful lies of happiness
Again and again
I’ll draw it out
Even if the ending never comes
You’ve always been so charming
Snarling back at defeat every time it befalls you
Pruning away everything precious to you
You felt like a victor
Your beloved face
In this beautiful season
No matter how heavy my heart feels
I need to move forward
So I will smile
On this road without light
Overflowing
Regrets and more
I’ll step out with my own feet
Chasing dreams, being chased by dreams
I want to float and dance
I want to deliver to you
Even if it’s a ripped up sketch
Of the meaning of our meeting
Of these repeating days
When I have no answer
If the number of sighs escaping your lips
Is the number of sorrows in your life
Then I will become your umbrella
Sheltering you so God won’t notice, always
These feelings
Just overflow
I try to scoop them up with both hands, but
Chasing dreams, being chased by dreams
They slip through my fingers
I want to deliver to you
Colourful lies of happiness
Again and again
I’ll draw it out
Even if the ending never comes
Even if the ending never comes

Ikusen no toki wo kizami
Nibui hikari wo hanatsu vinteeji mitai ni
Chiisana hokorobi ja yuru ga nai mono wo
Mezashita hazu datta
Itsukara zuretetan darou
Kirameku machi akari ni tawamurete
Omotai kumo ni oowareta sora sae
Mienaku natteta
Donna kotoba mo
Donna yakusoku mo
Tsukai furusareteru
Mou ichido deaou
Ano hi miteita
Futari no shinario ni
Afureru
Kono omoi dake
Ryou ude de sukui agetemo
Yume wo otte yume ni oware
Tenohira kara suberi ochiteku
Anata ni todoketai yo
Shiawase iro shita soragoto demo
Atashi wa nandomo ageru
Egaki tsuzukeru
Owari ga nakutemo
Mie hatte ikite kita ne
Ke otosareteku tabi ni kami tsuite
Daiji na mono wo kiri otoshi nagara
Katta ki ni natta
Itoshii omokage
Mabayui kisetsu ni
Kokoro wo kasanetemo
Mae ni wa ikenai
Dakara warau yo
Hikari naki michi demo
Afureru
Kuyashisa nado
Kono ashi de fumi tsukete yukou
Yume wo otte yume ni oware
Ukareru mama odotte itai
Anata ni todoketai yo
Yaburete shimatta rakugaki demo
Futari ga deatta imi ni
Kasaneta hibi ni
Kotae ga nakutemo
Tameiki wo tsuita kazu dake
Kanashii dekigoto ga aru nara
Kami-sama ni mitsukaranu you ni
Koko de anata no kasa ni naru zutto
Afureru
Kono omoi dake
Ryou ude de sukui agetemo
Yume wo otte yume ni oware
Tenohira kara suberi ochiteku
Anata ni todoketai yo
Shiawase iro shita soragoto demo
Atashi wa nandomo ageru
Egaki tsuzukeru
Owari ga nakutemo
Owari ga nakutemo

幾千の時間を刻み
鈍い光を放つヴィンテージみたいに
小さな綻びじゃ揺るがないものを
目指したはずだった
いつからズレてたんだろう
きらめく街灯りに戯れて
重たい雲に覆われた空さえ
見えなくなってた
どんな言葉も
どんな約束も
使い古されてる
もう一度出会おう
あの日見ていた
ふたりのシナリオに
あふれる
この想いだけ
両腕で掬い上げても
夢を追って 夢に追われ
てのひらから滑り落ちてく
あなたに届けたいよ
しあわせ色した空事でも
あたしは何度もあげる
描き続ける
終わりがなくても
見栄張って生きてきたね
蹴落とされてく度に噛み付いて
大事なものを切り落としながら
勝った気になった
愛しい面影
まばゆい季節に
心を重ねても
前にはいけない
だから笑うよ
光なき道でも
あふれる
悔しさなど
この足で踏みつけてゆこう
夢を追って 夢に追われ
浮かれるまま踊っていたい
あなたに届けたいよ
破れてしまった落書きでも
ふたりが出会った意味に
重ねた日々に
答えがなくても
溜息を吐いた数だけ
かなしい出来事があるなら
神様に見付からぬように
ここであなたの傘になる ずっと
あふれる
この想いだけ
両腕で掬い上げても
夢を追って 夢に追われ
てのひらから滑り落ちてく
あなたに届けたいよ
しあわせ色した空事でも
あたしは何度もあげる
描き続ける
終わりがなくても
終わりがなくても
