kanji & kana

    割れてる鏡を覗くように
    私は私のことがよくわからない
    大事な何かが欠けてるのは
    素直になれない自分のせいだと思う

    山手線
    一人きりでぐるり回ってた

    どこで降りれば
    愛に逢えるの?
    同じような駅のホーム
    迷ってる

    ドアが開(あ)いても
    見ているだけで
    心は一歩も
    動けない

    悲しくなる度 電車に乗る
    誰もが無関心で気が楽だから
    学校行っても居場所がない
    私はどうしてこの世に生まれたのだろう

    窓の景色
    おでこをつけながら眺めてた

    どこで降りれば
    正しいのかな?
    いつの間にか 乗り込んでた
    青春に
    何をしたいか
    見つからなくて
    決まったレールを
    走ってる

    このまま何周すれば
    大人になれるのでしょう?
    孤独からの降り方を
    教えて欲しい
    次の駅で…

    どこで降りれば
    愛に逢えるの?
    同じような駅のホーム
    迷ってる

    ドアが開(あ)いても
    見ているだけで
    心は一歩も
    動けない

    ぐるりと回った
    山手線

english translation

    As if peeking into a cracked mirror
    I don’t really understand myself
    To be lacking something important
    It must be because I can’t be honest
    As I looped around alone on the Yamanote line

    Where should I alight to meet love?
    I’m lost on the train platforms which all look the same
    Even as the doors open, I just look out
    My heart unable to take even one step out

    Whenever I feel sad, I board a train
    Because it’s easy when everyone is indifferent
    No place of belonging even when I go to school
    Why was I born into this world?
    Gazing at the scenery outside with my forehead against the window

    Which is the right stop to alight at?
    Unawares, youth has boarded the train
    Unable to find what I want to do
    I run along a predetermined track

    How many loops must I go like this before I can become an adult?
    Please teach me how to get off of loneliness
    At the next station…

    Where should I alight to meet love?
    I’m lost on the train platforms which all look the same
    Even as the doors open, I just look out
    My heart unable to take even one step out

    Looping around on the Yamanote line
