なんでこんなに気を張ってんだろう？ 見張ってんだろ？
自由って言葉に囚われすぎて 全然自由じゃない
さあ 手を開いて 常識の渦 グルグルまわして 捕まえて
疲れ果てた顔を ため息の中へと沈めて
目を閉じ 自分を許す もう眠っていいよね
何をやってきたわけじゃない
何を成し遂げたわけでもない
ただ毎日が通り過ぎて いくのを必死に追いかけてた
僕は 生きて 生きて 今を 見てる
都合のいいこと なんて全然起こらない
朝がきたら 服を着て 靴履いて ドア開けるだけ
何もない毎日が 何もない毎日が
ただ過ぎて ただ過ぎて ただ過ぎて ただ過ぎて ただ過ぎて
欲しいものはそれなりに 手に入れてはきたけれど
それがなんだっていうんだろう
僕は理由が欲しい
誰かの為にって 誰かを愛し生きるのか
答えに代わるのかもしれない
まだ僕にはわからないよ わからないよ わからないよ
誰が僕を覚えてるの 誰が僕を覚えてるの
忘れないで 忘れないで 忘れないで 忘れないで 忘れないで
考えるっていうことができるのは なんて残酷で
素晴らしいことなんだろう
２つとない 僕のこと 愛せるのは僕でいいじゃない
今僕が消えたとしても 少しも世界が変わらない
小さな小さなこの命で 楽しんだって世界は変わらない
僕は 生きて 生きて 今を 見てる
都合のいいこと なんて全然起こらない
朝がきたら 服を着て 靴履いて ドア開けるだけ
それでいい 僕は生きて 僕は生きて 僕は生きて
僕は生きて 僕は生きて 僕は生きて 僕は生きて 僕は生きて
[let me fly]
なんでこんなに気を張ってんだろう？ 見張ってんだろ？
自由って言葉に囚われすぎて 全然自由じゃない
さあ 手を開いて 常識の渦 グルグルまわして
今存在してんのは 何億分の一じゃない 僕はひとつ １人なんだ

Why do I strain myself like this? Am I looking out for something?
Imprisoned by the word ‘freedom’, that’s not freedom at all.
Now, I open up my hands, common sense, turning round and round in a whirlpool, clutching it.
My tired face drifts into a sigh.
With my eyes closed, I forgive myself, it’s ok to go to sleep already.
It’s not like I’ve ever done anything.
It’s not as if I’ve ever accomplished anything either.
I've just frantically chased the days as they pass me by.
I am alive, alive, watching the present.
Things like the right occasions never arise.
When tomorrow arrives, I put on my clothes, put on my shoes, open the door and that’s it.
The days where nothing happens, the days where nothing happens
just pass by, just pass by, just pass by, just pass by, just pass by.
The thing I yearn for is not too much to ask and so I already have it but,
‘’so what,’’ I guess I’m saying.
What I yearn for is a reason.
Saying ‘’for whose sake’’, who do I love in this life?
Perhaps it will turn into an answer.
Still, for me, I don’t get it, I don’t get it, I don’t get it.
Who will remember me, who will remember me?
Don’t forget me, don’t forget me, don’t forget me, don’t forget me, don’t forget me.
Being able to think is a cruel thing,
so I wonder if it's that all wonderful.
If I'm able to love myself, of whom there aren't two people, that would be fine with me.
Even if I disappeared right now, the world wouldn’t change even a bit.
The world that I enjoy in this small, small life is not going to change.
I am alive, alive, watching the present.
Things like the right occasions never arise.
When tomorrow arrives, I put on my clothes, put on my shoes, open the door and that’s it.
It’s fine like that, I’m alive, I’m alive,
I’m alive I’m alive, I’m alive, I’m alive, I’m alive, I’m alive.

Why do I strain myself like this? Am I looking out for something?
Imprisoned by the word ‘freedom’, that’s not freedom at all.
Now, I open up my hands, common sense, turning round and round in the whirlpool.
Living in the now, I’m not one of many hundred million pieces. I am one. Because I’m by myself.
*Translator’s note: according to an interview (interview translations to come soon) Sono read a theory that the human soul would supposedly weigh 21 grams. Sono felt it more appropiate to turn it to miligrams because the song’s protagonist felt his soul too small, inadequate.
