A Separation (Discovery / Live From International Forum Hall A, Tokyo, Japan / 2011)

君は生真面目だと云うけど
僕は何時でも好い加減に泳いでいるんだ。
顔を合わす度互いに固い掟の牢屋へ
閉じ籠ってしまうね。
僕が居なけりゃ女にも男にもならなくて良いよ。

払った犠牲を競うの止めよう、情けなくなる。
時代が軋んで変わっていく音‥聴こえる?
ほらだれの所為でもないさ。

君が居なけりゃ幸福にも
不幸にもならなくて良いよ。
揺らいだ思いを惰性と呼ぼうか、切りがなくなる。

出会って赦して詰った日々の直向きな癖。
若くて夢中で壊して傷んで疲れ果てたいま、
時代が歪んで動いている音‥聴こえる?
ほら僕ら離れ離れ。

A Separation (Discovery / Live From International Forum Hall A, Tokyo, Japan / 2011)

You say I'm a stick in the mud
But I'm just swimming along, going with the flow.
Every time we meet, we lock ourselves in a prison of rigid rules,
Trapping ourselves.
Without me, you don't have to become a woman or a man.

Let's stop competing over who has made the greater sacrifice. It's getting pathetic.
Can you hear the sound of time creaking and changing?
It's not anyone's fault.

Without you, I don't have to be happy
Or unhappy.
Shall we call these wavering thoughts inertia? It's getting out of hand.

Meeting, forgiving, and getting stuck in the upright habits of our days.
Young, reckless, broken, and exhausted now,
Can you hear the sound of time distorting and moving?
Look, we're drifting apart.
