Romaji Lyrics

Senseless
KONKURIITO no aida wo ishiki ga mau
Nukeochita shiroi hanabira no you
Iro wo ushinatte kuroku naru dake

Ekishou wo sekai no jyouhen ga hau
Onsoku no SUPIIDO de moji ni you
Samete hiekitte
Wasuresaru dake

Gamen no mukou ni yomikomareta kotoba
Saishuuteki ni nomikomareru kokoro

Misekake no SENSURESU
Ondokan mo nanimo nai

Haiiro no sora wo yume no you ni someta
Hanayaka na aka to midori no NEON SAIN
Yuganda maboroshi ha asa ni nareba kieru
Bokura no kokoro ni ato dake nokoshite

Ikikau hitonamini tokeru
Sonna mainichi Kyou mo Ashita mo
Muishiki ni yuganda jiishiki to BURANDO BAGGU
Nigotte mazariau gendai no SUTANDAADO

Soredemo omoi wo tsunaide yo

Sekaichuu wo kanashimi ga ootte
Kimi ni temaneki shitatte
Boku ha zutto
Omoi wo sotto koko de utau kara
Kimi ha kesanaide ite yo

Yami ni hi wo
Kokoro no oku no yami ni hi wo


English Translation

Senseless

My senses are dancing around in a concrete interval
Like the white flower pedals that have been shed
They lose color and just turn black

The upper surface of the world is crawling along over liquid crystal
At the speed of sound I've becomes drunk with letters
I sober up and turn to ice
As I flush my system

The words being expressed on the other side of the screen
Will finally swallow up my heart

Seemingly senseless
I can't even feel the temperature

The gray sky is dyed like in a dream
The gaudy red and green neon signs
This twisted illusion will disappear once day comes on
Leaving only traces in our hearts

Melting in the crowd that comes and goes
Everyday, both today and tomorrow
The self-consciousness which has been twisted into senelessness and the brand name bag
Are now impure and have commingled into a modern standard

But despite that my thoughts are still connected

Throughout the world sadness has been hidden
I am always
Beckoning to you
Because I'm softly singing my thoughts here
I won't erase you

Shine a light into the darkness
Shine a light into the depths of my heart


KANJI

センスレス

コンクリートの間を意識が舞う
抜け落ちた白い花弁のよう
色を失って黒くなるだけ

液晶を世界の上辺が這う
音速のスピードで文字に酔う
醒めて冷えきって
忘れ去るだけ

画面の向こうに読み込まれた言葉
最終的に飲み込まれる心

見せかけのセンスレス
温度感も何もない

灰色の空を夢のように染めた
華やかな赤と緑のネオンサイン
歪んだ幻は朝になれば消える
僕らの心に跡だけ残して

行き交う人混みに溶ける
そんな毎日　今日も明日も
無意識に歪んだ自意識とブランド・バッグ
濁って混ざり合う現代のスタンダード

それでも想いを繋いでよ

世界中を悲しみが覆って
君に手招きしたって
僕はずっと
想いをそっと此処で歌うから
君は消さないでいてよ

闇に灯を
心の奥の間に灯を
