光の射す方へ
Mr.Children Lyrics

蜘蛛の巣の様な高速の上　目的地へ5km　渋滞は続いてる
Stuck on a highway like a spider’s web, 5km from the destination with traffic still in motion

最近エアコンがいかれてきてる　ポンコツに座って　心拍数が増えた
The air conditioner has broken down quite recently, sitting in a clunker and my heart rate is increasing.

社会人になって　重荷を背負って　思い知らされてらぁ
Since becoming an adult, carrying a heavy burden and it has dawned on me.

母親がいつか愚痴る様に言った　「夏休みのある小学校時代に帰りたい」
My mother once complained that she wanted to go back to elementary school with summer vacations.

夕食に誘った女の　笑顔が下品で　酔いばかり回った　
The woman who invited me to dinner had a vulgar smile, getting drunk and going around in circles.

身振り手振りが大袈裟で　東洋人の顔して　西洋人のふりしてる　
Gestures are exaggerated, looking like a person from the East and acting like a person from the West.

ストッキングを取って　すっぽんぽんにしちゃえば同じもんがついてんだ　
If you take off your stockings, it's the same as being naked.

面倒臭くなって　送るのもよして独りきり情熱を振り回す　バッティングセンター
I got tired of it, stopped sending messages and swung my passion alone in the batting center.

僕らは夢見たあげく彷徨って　空振りしては骨折って　リハビリしてんだ　wow wow
We dreamt, got lost in the end, missed and broke bones, and now we are rehabilitating.

いつの日か　君に届くならいいな　
I hope someday it will reach you.

心につけたプロペラ　時空を越えて　
The propeller in my heart transcends space and time.

光の射す方へ
Towards where the light shines.

「電話してから来てちょうだい」って　慣れた言い回しで合い鍵をくれんだ　
She said 'Please call me before you come' and handed me a spare key with a familiar expression.

マスコミが恐いから　結局は貯金箱の中にそいつをしまった　
I was afraid of the media, and in the end, I put it in a savings box.

誰を信用して　何に奮闘して　この先歩けばいい?
Who to trust, what to struggle for, what should I do from now on?

デキレースでもって　勝敗がついたって　拍手を送るべき　ウィナーは存在しない　
Even with a fixed race and the winner decided, you should applaud, since there is no such thing as a winner.

僕らは夢見たあげく彷徨って　大海原で漂って　さぶいぼたてんだ　wow wow　
We dreamt and wandered around, drifting in the open sea, and now shiver in the cold.

もっとこの僕を愛して欲しいんだ　月夜に歌う虫けら　羽を開いて　光の射す方へ　
I want you to love me more. In the moonlit night, the bugs sing and spread their wings towards where the light shines.

散らかってる点を拾い集めて　真直ぐな線で結ぶ　
Pick up scattered dots and connect them with a straight line.

闇を裂いて　海を泳ぎ渡って　風となり大地を這う　
Tearing through the darkness, swimming across the sea, the wind crawls over the land.

限りあるまたとない永遠を渡って　最短距離で駆け抜けるよ　
Crossing the limited and infinite eternity, running through the shortest distance.
