あのバンドの歌がわたしには

甲高く響く笑い声に聞こえる

あのバンドの歌がわたしには

つんざく踏切の音みたい

背中を押すなよ

もうそこに列車が来る

目を閉じる　暗闇に差す後光

耳塞ぐ　確かに刻む鼓動

胸の奥　身を揺らす心臓

ほかに何も聴きたくない

わたしが放つ音以外

Ano bando no uta ga watashi ni wa

Kandakaku hibiku waraigoe ni kikoeru

Ano bando no uta ga watashi ni wa

Tsunzaku fumikiri no oto mitai

Senaka o osu na yo

Mou soko ni ressha ga kuru

Me o tojiru kurayami ni sasu gokou

Mimi fusagu tashika ni kizamu kodou

Mune no oku mi o yurasu shinzou

Hoka ni nan mo kikitakunai

Watashi ga hanatsu oto igai

That band's songs sound to me

like shrill laughter all around

That band's songs are to me

like the piercing clang of a railway crossing

Don't push me forward

There's a train coming

I close my eyes; There's a halo in the darkness

I cover my ears; There's a steady beating pulse within

Deep in my chest; My heart makes my body sway

I don't want to hear anything else

Nothing but the sounds I'm making

あのバンドの歌がわたしには

甲高く響く笑い声に聞こえる

あのバンドの歌がわたしには

つんざく踏切の音みたい

背中を押すなよ

もうそこに列車が来る

目を閉じる　暗闇に差す後光

耳塞ぐ　確かに刻む鼓動

胸の奥　身を揺らす心臓

ほかに何も聴きたくない

わたしが放つ音以外

不協和音に居場所を探したり

悲しい歌に救われていたんだけど

あのバンドの歌が誰かにはギプスで

わたし（だけが）間違いばかりみたい

目を閉じる　暗闇に差す後光

耳塞ぐ　確かに刻む鼓動

胸の奥　身を揺らす心臓

ほかに何も聴きたくない

わたしが放つ音以外

いらない

背中を押すなよ

容易く心触るな

出発のベルが鳴る

乗客は私一人だけ

手を叩く　わたしだけの音

足鳴らす　足跡残すまで

目を開ける　孤独の称号

受け止める　孤高の衝動

今　胸の奥　確かめる心音

ほかに何も聴きたくない

わたしが放つ音以外

That band's songs sound to me

Like shrill laughter all around

That band's songs are to me

Like the piercing clang of a railway crossing

Don't push me forward

There's a train coming

I close my eyes there's a halo in the darkness

I cover my ears there's a steady beating pulse within

Deep in my chest my heart makes my body sway

I don't want to hear anything else

Nothing but the sounds I'm making

Looking for a place to belong in the dissonance

I was saved by a sad song

That band's song managed to be someone's cast

But I still feel like the (only) one making mistakes

I close my eyes there's a halo in the darkness

I cover my ears there's a steady beating pulse within

Deep in my chest my heart makes my body sway

I don't want to hear anything else

Nothing but the sounds I'm making

I don't need anything else

Don't push me forward

Don't touch my heart so frivolously

The departure bells rings

I'm the only passenger

The sound of clapping, sounds for me alone

Feet stomping until tracks are left behind

I opened my eyes as a loner

And accepted it, moving forward

Right now, deep inside, my heart tells me

I don't want to hear anything else

Nothing but the sounds I'm making
