SHIT HAPPENING Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

どれくらいの時間の中
それを探していたんだろう
その意味が形を変える前に

色の無い架空の空間に
並んだ理由をたどって
答えを探して

誰に言う訳でもなくただ
上手く重ね合わせ
壊れるのを待つ

Before she has gone far away

いくつにも重ねた細胞
それを響かせこの手は
やっと君に触れるよ
どれくらいの時間の中
それを探していたんだろう
その意味が形を変える前に

無意識が導く回路に
逆らうように答えを隠して
自ら影を作るように
それを遠ざけながら
消えていくのを待つ

Before she has gone far away
It is something to say

いくつにも重ねた細胞
それを響かせこの手は
やっと君に触れるよ
どれくらいの時間の中
それを探していたんだろう
その意味が形を変える前に

光に触れてみたくて
触れてしまうのに怯えて
消えないようにと願う
それだけ思って眺めていた

いくつにも重ねた細胞
それを響かせこの手は
やっと君に触れるよ
どれくらいの時間の中

それを探していたんだろう
その意味が形を変える前に
