Lyrics and translation Uru - 振り子

振り子

薄汚れた網戸が ずっと目の奥にはまってて
青い空が見てみたくて 誰かに開けて欲しかった
求めれば求めた分だけ汚れてった
でも、誰かの傍にいることで
私はここに在った

ただ朝が来て夜が来る
ただ生まれて死にゆく
そこには何の意味もない
独りごちては腐った

床を撫でるだけの雑巾がけのように
形だけは一丁前で あぁ
塵を舞い上げて吸い込んで
噎せ返っては一人泣いて
それでも私はどこかで
ずっと愛を求めてた

毎日夢を見て毎日目が覚めて
夢と現実の狭間で
ぶら下がって足を浮かせたまんま
風が吹けば吹かれた方へ流されて
我武者羅に走った汗を
ただの塩にしてきた人生も

擦り減った靴の底には
泥や石が挟まったまま
私は生涯この靴で歩いていく
それでもあなたという光が
明日を照らしてくれたから

毎日夢をみて毎日目が覚めて
夢と現実の狭間で
ぶら下がって足を浮かせたまんま
風が吹けば吹かれた方へ流されて
我武者羅に走った汗を
ただの塩にしてきた人生も

愛を知って 生きる意味を知った

Pendulum

A soiled fly screen has been embedded in my mind for so long
I wished to see the blue sky and wanted someone to open it up for me
If I asked, only filth filled me
But I existed by being at someone's side
I was here

Just as morning comes, night falls
I was only born to die
There is no meaning to life
Such thoughts haunted me, and I grew corrupt

Like a mop only used to wipe a floor
I did it without complaint, oh
Raking up the dust and breathing it in
I choked and wept alone
Still, I was always
Searching for love somewhere

Dreaming every day, waking up every day
On the brink between dreams and reality
I dangled, holding myself up
When the wind blows, I was blown away
The sweat of my labor was
Reduced to mere salt, so was my life

Under the soles of my worn-out shoes,
Mud and stones get stuck
For the rest of my life, I will walk in these shoes
Even so, because you, my guiding light,
You shined brightness into my tomorrow

Dreaming every day, waking up every day
On the brink between dreams and reality
I dangled, holding myself up
When the wind blows, I was blown away
The sweat of my labor was
Reduced to mere salt, so was my life

I've learned the meaning of life, and it's because I've known love
