サイレント・アテンダンス (Silent Attendance)

==Lyrics==
Japanese 	Romaji 	English
日を追うごとにのびてきた 	hi o ougoto ni nobitekita 	With each passing day they grew
切口芽吹く枝の先 	kirikuchi mebuku eda no saki 	The cut-ends of these budding branches, that is
雨はざらついた手で 	ame wa zaratsuita te de 	The rain on my rough hands
未来を定義した 	mirai o teigi shita 	has already defined the future
 	 	
目立ちたがりの雷が 	medachitagari no kaminari ga 	That arrogant boy's lightning
煙突上の神様に 	entotsu jou no kamisama ni 	strikes the top of God's tower
「そのポストは誰だって 	"sono posuto wa dare datte 	"That position isn't fit
勤まりゃしないよ」と 	tsutomarya shinai yo" to 	for anyone else," I muttered
 	 	
欠けた戸が弱々しく見えて 	kaketa to ga yowayowashiku miete 	I'm fraily looking at this broken door
開こうとはせずに怯えてて 	hirakou to wa sezu ni obietete 	But trying to open it would mean that I’m not actually scaredとは(toha) is a particle used to define something, like in a dictionary. This lines says 開こうとは(hirakou toha), where hirakou is the volitional case of 'to open', meaning it is defining the ability to open something (in this case, the door)
隠れきらない手足出して 	kakure kiranai teashi dashite 	Unable to hide, all my limbs reveal
卑怯さに崩れ落ちた 	hikyousa ni kuzure ochita 	That I've fallen back into cowardice
 	 	
今は　何を悲しむのさ 	ima wa nani o kanashimu no sa 	What is there left to be sad over now
不幸は指を奪い取るのか 	fukou wa yubi o ubaitoru no ka 	That misery can't simply snatch from my fingers?
針千本約束できない 	harisen hon yakusoku dekinai 	A thousand needle promise is one I can't make
友情なんてさ 	yuujou nante sa 	Some friendship that would be
涙　枯れた 	namida kareta 	At their source,
泉の奥　見れない 	izumi no oku mirenai 	the only tears you'll find are dead ones
目はただ叫び続けた 	me wa tada sakebi tsuzuketa 	My eyes, unable to see, continued to shout
呼んだって 	yondatte 	To call out,
返事は来るはずない 	henji wa kuru hazu nai 	without expecting a reply
影の映らない10月のこと 	kage no utsuranai juugatsu no koto 	October never saw the projection of my shadow
 	 	
鳴りやまない雨と風が 	nari yamanai ame to kaze ga 	Before I could escape from the wind and the rain
逃げる間もなく迷いだす 	nigeru mamonaku mayoidasu 	I became lost within their ceaseless rumbling
離脱合成な際に 	ridatsu gouseina kiwa ni 	The synthetic edge of withdrawal合成(gosei) is a noun that means "synthesis/composite/combination". Here, it is being used as an adjective to describe 際(kiwa) which means "edge,brink,verge". What does a "composite edge", or what could a "synthetic brink" mean? As these words are typically used to describe when many things are combined into one, I figured it was talking about all the singer's past experiences with the bully, and how he was on the edge/brink of jumping off of them
湿る亡骸と 	shimeru nakigara to 	becomes wet with a dead body
 	 	
昼時、彼は唐突に 	hirutoki, kare wa toutotsu ni 	At noon he suddenly
泥のついた手で天を突く 	doro no tsuita te de ten o tsuku 	Attacked the heavens with a mud-filled hand
「拝啓、貴様、消えな」って 	"haikei, kisama, kiena" tte 	“You're trash, get lost” he told me
僕は彼に落とされた 	boku wa kare ni otosareta 	I succumbed to his words
 	 	
青白い　電池駆動の 	aojiroi denchi kudou no 	To the corroded battery-powered青白い電池駆動(aojiroi denchi kudou) is pale battery-powered. What is a pale battery, you ask? I'm not totally sure what was meant here, but because the corrosion on a battery makes it look pale/whiteish-blue, I figured that's what Miyake was talking about with this line
割れた　欠片理屈に 	wareta kakera rikutsu ni 	Broken pieces of reasoning
涙で濡れた言葉が 	namida de nureta kotoba ga 	My words, wet with tears,
血を吐く 	chi o haku 	spat out blood
 	 	
背中の羽はむしれなくて 	senaka no hane wa mushire nakute 	Your wings don't have to be plucked
見た目も人とは違っている 	mitame mo hito to wa chigatte iru 	For who you look like and who you actually are to be two different thingsThis is a very interesting line! It could be talking about either the bully or the singer, making it my favorite line in this whole song. It's interesting that the Japanese can say this idea with so few words, unlike in English
戸籍すらもうどこにもなく 	koseki sura mou doko ni mo naku 	As long as I can't be found in a family registryA 戸籍(koseki, family registry) is a document in Japan that households fill out as a kind of census. It basically lists the names of family members and information about the family for the government
私は存在しない 	watashi wa sonzai shinai 	I do not exist
意識されているくせに 	ishiki saret eiru kuse ni 	Consciousness is a bad habit of mine
 	 	
いらない　いらない 	iranai iranai 	I don't need, I don't need
本当は欲しい 	hontou wa hoshī 	to want the truth
理不尽な子供の海に生息 	rifujinna kodomo no umi ni seisoku 	That lives in the sea of irrational children
300メートルの魔物 	sanbyaku meetoru no mamono 	A 300 meter monster
おもちゃにははやすぎるわ 	omocha ni wa hayasugiru wa 	Is nothing compared to this toy
見えない　非は愛 	mienai hi wa ai 	Invisible mistakes are a love
聞こえてこない 	kikoetekonai 	That cannot be heard
無口な裁判は終わらない 	mukuchina saiban wa owaranai 	This court's quiet prosecution does not end
散々な目は 	sanzanna me wa 	These awful experiences
ゴールを知らず 	gooru o shirazu 	know no goal
乱暴な明日を作り出してく 	ranbouna asu o tsukuridashiteku 	They simply create violent tomorrows
 	 	
厭世的要件務めた 	enseiteki youken tsutometa 	These pessimistic requirements
円盤ナイフ隠して 	enban naifu kakushite 	served as a hidden circular knife
少年気取った雷に 	shounen kidotta kaminari ni 	I approached the boy who reigns over thunder
釈明しに行く 	shakumei shi ni yuku 	In order to clear up all our misunderstandings
 	 	
冷たい檻に閉じ込められ 	tsumetai ori ni tojikomerare 	In this cold cage I am trapped
羽ばたくことなく命尽きますから 	habataku koto naku inochi tsukimasu kara	My life runs dry because I can't flap my wings
お願いです雷様 	onegaidesu kaminarisama 	So please, O God of Thunder
ぼくを人間にしてよ 	boku o ningen ni shite yo 	Treat me like a human being!

俺の番はまだですか 	ore no ban wa mada desu ka 	When will it be my turn?
暮れない　待たない 	kurenai matanai 	I won't stop, I won't wait
逃げない　言わない 	nigenai iwanai 	I won't run away, I won't speak
日向に戻るその日までまだ 	hinata ni modoru sono hi made mada 	Until I reach a sunny place again
太陽のように眩しい芽が 	taiyou no you ni mabushii me ga 	My branches will bloom as bright as the sun
創造と悪意のもとに開く 	souzou to akui no moto ni hiraku 	And separate the sources of malice and creation
