Lyrics and translation 浜崎あゆみ - (miss)understood

(miss)understood

大丈夫だって言い聞かせて
得意の笑顔に切り替える
投げやりだっていうんじゃなくて
開き直ったっていう感覚
震える手を隠したのは
同情が寒すぎるから
中途半端で見せかけだけの
温もりなんかじゃ温まらない
それならいっそ見ないフリして
跡形もなく砕け散るまで
今更 綺麗事だなんて
聞くつもりも言うつもりもない
痛みは増える一方だろう
ならば受け止めていくまでさ
怖いくらい澄んだ空気は
嵐が来る前の静けさ
親切そうなあの人々は
本当は何を知りたいのだろう?
優しげな目の奥に鋭い狂気と
いう名のナイフ隠して
君はいったい何が欲しいの?
君はいったい何を願うの?
君はいったいどこを目指すの?
そしてそこへは誰とむかうの?
君が君で生きられるのは
最初で最後この一度だけ
大きな地図を広げたあとは
君だけの道を描けばいい

(miss)understood

I tell myself that everything is okay.
I switch to my practiced smile.
It's not a matter of giving up,
It's more like a sense of defiance.
I hide my trembling hands.
Their sympathy is too cold.
That mediocre, superficial
Warmth provides no comfort.
Instead, I pretend it's not there,
Until it's completely shattered.
Platitudes are useless now.
I have no desire to hear them or say them.
It's true that the pain will only grow,
But I will endure it until the end.
The air feels so clear, it's almost scary.
It's the calm before the storm.
Those kind-looking people,
What do they really want to know?
Hidden behind their gentle gazes
Are sharp, malicious knives.
What do you really want from me?
What do you really desire?
Where are you really headed?
And with whom will you go there?
You only get to live your life as you
Once, and only once.
After spreading out your large map,
You are the one who must draw your path.
