仮面
神山羊 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

手探りで僕らは今でも
綱渡りの日々にもがいている
ふらついて試す疑いの余地
壁に付けた正の字も二画目

思い出すあなた届かない指が
その隅から隅までが
嫌になっちゃってさ
鈍く灯った優しさだけ

重たい体ならば置いておいで
全てわかった気でいたい夜もある
誰にも言えないような過去があって
このまま秘密にできるなんて

仮面の奥の顔は何を見てたの
欲しがれば夢のあとさき
仮面の奥に光る
朝焼けが消えないで
まだ張り付いたまま
後ろの正面の
あなたは誰

幸せな暮らしもいつかは
変わっていくものだと気付いてる
浮ついて減らす言い訳の余地
こべりついた正の字も七つ目

笑い出すあなた戻らない時が
その場しのぎばっかりで
嫌いだったんだな
黒く濁った虚しさだけ

泣きたくなったならここにおいで
全て無かったことにはできない夜
誰にも見せないような傷があって
二人の秘密にできるなんて

仮面の奥の顔は何を見てたの
あなたしか知らないままで
仮面の奥に光る
明日が跡になって
まだ焼き付いたまま
生きてる証明をしているだけ

暗闇の中でさえ
迷わずに歩いて行ける
この先にあなたがいると
信じていたから

仮面の奥の顔は何を見てたの
欲しがれば夢のあとさき
仮面の奥に光る
朝焼けが消えないで

時が流れても
変わらない想いを




後ろの正面の
あなたは誰

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of 神山羊's song 仮面 (Kamen) depict the struggles and doubts faced by the singer as they navigate through life. The first verse illustrates their ongoing journey, stumbling their way through the tightrope of their existence. They feel unsteady, constantly questioning themselves with the faint remnants of affection as their only comfort. The phrase "壁に付けた正の字も二画目" suggests that even the positive symbols they have put up on their walls are now starting to fade.


In the second verse, the singer reminisces about someone they long for but cannot reach, as their fingertips barely graze the corners of their memory. They have grown tired of this situation and are left with only the dimly lit kindness they once received. The chorus questions what the face behind the mask was truly looking at, implying that the singer desires to know the hidden truth. They long for the aftereffects of dreams and the lingering radiance hidden beneath the mask, hoping that the morning glow will persist.


The third verse addresses the inevitability of change, even in a seemingly happy life. The singer acknowledges the transience of contentment and criticizes the flimsy excuses used to downplay their diminishing happiness. The phrase "こべりついた正の字も七つ目" suggests that even the positive symbols they cling to are now tarnished and have become the seventh stroke of a faded character.


The bridge of the song expresses the desire for solace and an escape from the pain. The singer invites the person they long for to come to them if they feel like crying. The night cannot be erased, and there are hidden wounds that no one else can see, secrets only shared between the two of them.


The final chorus questions what the face behind the mask was truly looking at, emphasizing that only the person they long for knows the answer. The light within the mask shines, symbolizing hope for a future that will not fade away like the morning glow. Despite the pain and struggles, the singer believes that as long as they have proof of their existence, they can walk confidently, even in the darkness, because they believed that the person they long for would always be there.

Yoh Kamiyama - Mask
Eng Translation with DeepL


We're still groping and struggling
We're still struggling to walk the tightrope
Wobbling and trying, room for doubt
the second stroke of the character for "right" on the wall

I remember you, your unreachable fingers
from corner to corner
I've grown tired of it
It's just the dull light of kindness

I've been thinking of you
There are nights when I want to feel like I know everything
I have a past that I can't tell anyone about 
I can't believe I can keep it a secret like this

What was the face behind the mask looking at?
If you want it, it's the end of your dream
shining behind the mask
The morning glow won't disappear
It's still stuck to me
in the front behind me
Who are you

I realize that the happy life
I realize that my happy life will change someday
Room for excuses to float and reduce
I've got the seventh letter of the alphabet stuck on me

The time when you don't come back laughing
It's just a stopgap measure
You hated it, didn't you?
The only thing that matters is the black, muddy emptiness

If you feel like crying, come here
It's a night that you can't pretend didn't happen
I've got scars that I won't show to anyone
I can't believe we can keep it a secret

What was the face behind the mask looking at?
You're the only one who knows
The glow behind the mask
Tomorrow has become a mark 
Still burned in my mind
I'm just trying to prove that I'm alive

Even in the dark
I can walk without hesitation
Because I knew you were ahead of me
I knew you'd be there.

What was the face behind the mask looking at?
If you want it, it's the end of your dream
shining behind the mask
Don't let the morning glow disappear

Even though the time has passed
the unchanging feelings
In the front behind me
Who are you?

手探りで僕らは今でも
Tesaguri de bokuraha imademo

Dengan meraba-raba kita diam

綱渡りの日々にもがいている
Tsunawatari no hibi ni mogaite iru

Berjuang di jalan yang tegang

ふらついて試す疑いの余地
Furatsuite tamesu utagai no yochi

Tidak ada keraguan bahwa Anda akan terhuyung-huyung dan mencoba

壁に付けた正の字も二画目
Kabe ni tsuketa shōnoji mo ni-kaku-me

Karakter positif di dinding juga merupakan pukulan kedua

思い出すあなた届かない指が
Omoidasu anata todokanai yubi ga

Saya ingat jari-jari Anda yang tidak bisa saya jangkau

その隅から隅までが
Sono sumi kara sumi made ga

Dari sudut ke sudut

嫌になっちゃってさ
Iya ni natchatte sa

Saya tidak menyukainya

鈍く灯った優しさだけ
Nibuku tomotta yasashi-sa dake

Hanya kebaikan yang terang benderang

重たい体ならば置いておいで
Omotai karadanaraba oite oide

Jika Anda memiliki tubuh yang berat, tinggalkan saja

全てわかった気でいたい夜もある
Subete wakatta ki de itai yoru mo aru

Ada malam ketika aku ingin merasa seperti aku mengerti segalanya

誰にも言えないような過去があって
Darenimoienai yōna kako ga atte

Ada masa lalu yang tidak bisa diceritakan oleh siapa pun

このまま秘密にできるなんて
Kono mama himitsu ni dekiru nante

Saya bisa merahasiakannya

仮面の奥の顔は何を見てたの
Kamen no oku no kao wa nani o mi teta no

Apa yang Anda lihat di wajah di balik topeng?

欲しがれば夢のあとさき
Hoshi gareba yumenoatosaki

Jika Anda menginginkannya, setelah mimpi itu

仮面の奥に光る
Kamen no oku ni hikaru

Bersinar di belakang topeng

朝焼けが消えないで

siapa kamu

幸せな暮らしもいつかは
Shiawasena kurashi mo itsuka wa

Suatu hari hidup yang bahagia

変わっていくものだと気付いてる
kawatte iku monoda to kidzui teru

Saya menyadari bahwa itu akan berubah

浮ついて減らす言い訳の余地
uwatsuite herasu iiwake no yochi

Ada ruang untuk alasan untuk mengapung dan mengurangi

こべりついた正の字も七つ目
Ko-beri tsuita shōnoji mo nanatsu-me

Surat positif lengket ketujuh

-english translation (not perfect sry)

We are still struggling with the days of groping
There is no doubt that we will stagger and try
There are also two positive characters on the wall. Eyes

Remember, the fingers you can't reach
I'm disgusted from corner to corner
Only the gentleness of the dull light

If you have a heavy body, leave it alone
There are nights when you want to understand everything
There is a past that you can't tell anyone
I can keep it secret as it is

What did you see on the face behind the mask?
If you want, after the dream
Shine behind the mask
The sunrise doesn't go away
Still stuck

In front of the back
Who are you

I realize that a happy life will change
someday
There is room for excuses to float and reduce
The 7th sticky positive character

You start laughing When you don't come back
It's just a makeshift
I didn't like it
Only the black and muddy emptiness

If you want to cry, come here
A night you can't do without everything
To whom There are scratches that I can't even show.
I can keep them secret.

What did you see on the face behind the mask?
Only you know
Shining in the back of the mask
Tomorrow is a mark
Still burned
I'm just proving that I'm alive

In the dark Even
I can walk without hesitation
Because I believed that you were in the future

What did you see on the face behind the mask?
If you want, after the dream

Shining in the back of the mask
The sunrise will not disappear

Even if time passes
In front of the back
Who are you

My man really deserves way more attention, his songs are top tier among the others but still gets so little attention

@ochinchinsama696

he went on a hiatus for half a year so i guess his views are going down but he will soon get more popular if he stays relevant i guess

@s29k_

@ochinchinsama69 i really wish he does
