足りない心を埋める様に
理想に縋る 妄想に耽る
未熟な自分を守る様に
虚勢と空論で編み込んだ 毛布に包まった
In order to fill my lacking heart,
I cling to my ideals and indulge myself in daydreams.
In order to protect my naïve, inexperienced self,
I weaved myself within bluffs and obviously impossible theories, then wrapped myself up in my blankets.
余計な事ばっかり知って 穢れてく様を
「大人になる」なんて 呼んじゃったりしてんの
何も知らなかった あの日の純粋も
泡となり 空へと消えてった
So people are calling the state of knowing nothing but things
they’d have been better off not knowing, “becoming an adult”...
The innocence from that day when I knew nothing,
Turned to foam and dissolved away into the sky.
私は変わってく 過ぎゆく時間のままに
少しずつ 夢を手放して歳をとる
水色に 揺れる貴方の声と
気の抜けた私が ただ佇んでいたの
I change as the time passing on by commands me.
Bit by bit, letting go of my dreams, and gaining years {in return}.
You, with your voice wavering in blue,
and I, gone completely flat, simply stood there.
足りない現状を避ける様に
過去に縋る 未来に願う
自分の気持ちを声にしても
泡になって 差し当たり 空へ消えるようだ
In order to avoid how unsatisfying things are now, *
I cling to my past and send prayers to the future.
Even if I put my feelings into words,
they all turn to foam, and, at least for the moment, merely dissolve away towards the sky.
*There seems to be a typo on the video here, 避ける/sakeru ‘to avoid’ is written as 叫ぶ/sakebu ‘to scream’ -- the former makes more sense and she seems to say “ru” so I translated based off the text (which is from hihumi’s official piapro.)
「怒り」とか 「悲しみ」を 抑え込む様を
「大人になる」なんて 信じ込んじゃってんの
感情の手数を 失ってく私を
良しとして 目を逸らしたんだ
So people are believing that the state of holding down and controlling your “rage” and “sorrow” is what “becoming an adult” is...
I, slowly losing all control of my emotions---
The {people} decided to just leave me be, and averted their eyes.
私は思い出す 虹色に描いた未来
一つずつ 色を手放して「今」になる
モノクロのスーツが 群れを成した
アスファルトの上 ただ歩き続けてるの
I remember the future I drew in rainbow colours.
Bit by bit, it relinquished all of its colour, and became the “present” moment.
Monochrome suits made up the crowds,
And simply walk on, above the asphalt
揺れるガラス玉の様に
輝いた 私の胸の奥で
吐き出せず 溜まる想いが揺れているの
一粒の 泡を掴み損ねた
拳の先 水面が 全て攫ってゆく
They glittered like swaying
glass marbles inside of my chest,
Without being able to spit them back up, these accumulating feelings continue to sway.
I missed, grabbing at a foam bubble,
and beyond my grasp the water's surface carries everything away from me.
