Lyrics

The last line is not present in the maimai cut.

Japanese

考えたってわからないし 
青空の下、君を待った
風が吹いた正午、昼下がりを抜け出す想像
ねぇ、これからどうなるんだろうね
進め方教わらないんだよ
君の目を見た 何も言えず僕は歩いた

考えたってわからないし
青春なんてつまらないし
辞めた筈のピアノ、机を弾く癖が抜けない
ねぇ、将来何してるだろうね
音楽はしてないといいね
困らないでよ

心の中に一つ線を引いても
どうしても消えなかった 今更なんだから
なぁ、もう思い出すな

間違ってるんだよ
わかってないよ、あんたら人間も
本当も愛も世界も苦しさも人生もどうでもいいよ
正しいかどうか知りたいのだって防衛本能だ
考えたんだ あんたのせいだ

考えたってわからないし
生きてるだけでも苦しいし
音楽とか儲からないし
歌詞とか適当でもいいよ
どうでもいいんだ

間違ってないだろ
間違ってないよな

間違ってるんだよ わかってるんだ
あんたら人間も
本当も愛も救いも優しさも人生もどうでもいいんだ
正しい答えが言えないのだって防衛本能だ
どうでもいいや あんたのせいだ

だから僕は音楽を辞めた

Translation by EJ/bluepenguin

I've thought about it, but I still don't understand
Under the blue sky, I waited for you
On that breezy afternoon, my imagination escaped the confines of the day
Hey, where do I go from here?
No one has told me how to proceed
I looked into your eyes and without a word I walked away

I've thought about it, but I still don't understand
Youth is so boring
I tried to give up piano, but I can't break the habit of playing on my desk
Hey, what will I do in the future?
It shouldn't be music, right?
Don't worry

Even if I plucked a single string in my heart
No matter what I did, it wouldn't disappear, even now, so
Hey, I still remember

I'm mistaken
I don't understand, I don't care
About all you humans or the truth or love or the world or pain or life
Wanting to know what's right or wrong is just a self-preservation instinct
It's your fault that I thought that

I've thought about it, but I still don't understand
Why just living is painful
Why you can't make a living from something like music
I don't care if the lyrics or whatever are lazily done
I don't care about anything

I'm probably not mistaken
I'm sure I'm not mistaken

I'm mistaken, I understand
I don't care
About all you humans or the truth or love or salvation or kindness or life
Not being able to give the right answer is a self-preservation instinct
I don't care, it's your fault

That's why I gave up on music
