星のうつわ
スキマスイッチ Lyrics

doushite doushite naite umarete
Why, oh why, do we cry when we're born into this world?

itsuka nakarete hoshi ni natteikundarou
Will we, someday, cease to be and become a star in the sky?

bokura wa doushite doushite osowattenai noni
Why, oh why, do we not learn even if we try?

namida no nagashikata wa shitterundarou
We know how to shed tears, even without being taught.

afureru shizuku wa taema naku sosogareta aijou no akashi de
Each overflowing drop is a testament of the love that has been poured endlessly.

michibikareru mama yuruyaka ni sotto tsutattekitanda
Guided gently, it flows slowly and softly.

kokoro kara karada e karada wa kokoro e
From heart to body, and from body to heart,

tsuranaru ikutsumo no karamiatta rasen no moyou
Weaves the pattern of the countless intertwining spirals.

sono hitotsu hitotsu ni mirai ga mieta nara nagameteiru kono sora mo
If we could see the future in each and every one, we would even gaze at the sky, now visible as the universe.

hora uchuu ni mieru
Look, we can see the universe.

doushite doushite tsuki wa itsudemo
Why, oh why, does the moon always shine?

nanimo iwanaide yami o terashiteirundarou
Without saying anything, it illuminates the darkness.

bokura wa doushite doushite kodou no kazu ni
Why, oh why, do we waste our limited beats

kagiri ga aru tte no o shitteite muda ni shichaundarou
Without realizing that we have a limit?

mune ni kakaeteiru utsuwa no ookisa ni kachi o midasunjanakute
The size of the vessel held within our chest does not determine its worth.

sono naka ni aru netsu o obita tane ni "inochi" o kanjitai
We want to feel the "life" in the seeds that have been heated within.

donna ni me o korashite jibun o miyou to shitemo
No matter how much we strain our eyes to see ourselves,

boyakete yoku mienai ya sono uchi miushinatteshimau
It becomes blurry and we end up losing sight of ourselves.

sagaseba sagasu hodo chirakashiteshimau nara miyoumimane datte kono te de
If we keep searching and searching, everything will become clearer with our own hands.

sou tsukureba ii
Yes, we can make it.

ikiru tte iu koto sore wa kitto sukoshizutsu tebanashiteiku koto
Being alive is the gradual process of letting go little by little.

saigo no hitotsu o ushinau sono toki soba ni ite namida o kureru hito ga iru
When we lose the last piece, there is someone beside us who will shed tears.

sore de ureshii
And that makes us happy.

kokoro kara karada e karada wa kokoro e
From heart to body, and from body to heart,

tsuranaru ikutsumo no uketsugu rasen no moyou
Weaves the pattern of the countless intertwining spirals.

kurikaesareteku koto ga eien dato omoeta toki me no mae no keshiki subete ga
When we thought that repetition was eternity, the scenery in front of us changed completely,

ima, uchuu ni natta
And now, we have become a part of the universe.
