PARADOX
Yamazaki Aoi Lyrics

最近の若いやつは 純情じゃないね
The adults often say that youngsters these days lack purity, but is that really true? Let's take a moment to consider.

大人たちはよく言う 嘘でしょ ちょっと待ってよ
Adults frequently make this claim, but hold on a sec, is it really accurate?

キタナイ世界に 馴染むためだけのこと
Perhaps young people are adapting to the harsh realities of society in order to fit in.

勝負はいつも fairness 小さい時から教えられたでしょ?
We were taught from a young age that fairness is a key factor in any competition.

「誰なら信じられるの? あなたなら裏切らないの?」
In this world of deceit, who can you trust? Are you someone who will remain loyal?

私にも未来があるの 明るく描いてみたいの 夢くらい見てもいいでしょ
I too have a future and would like to dream and envision a bright future.

期待したらそこで負け 結局は自分の名声にすがっている
If you have expectations and lose, you will ultimately cling to your reputation to save face.

「都合によっては嘘もあり」 それがあなたの作り出した ルールでしょ
There are times when lies serve a purpose, but this type of justification is a rule you have constructed for yourself.

勝負はいつも fairness 分かっているなら どうして出来ないの?
If you understand that fairness is essential, why can't you put it into practice?

「神様 世界はこんなもんなの? こうして強くなるの?」
Is this really the world that we live in, God? Is this how we become strong?

私の未来に触れないで あなたの気紛れな言葉にはもう 惑わされない
Don't interfere with my future, and I won't be swayed by your whimsical words.

期待して分かったこと 失望もして分かったこと あたしの居場所はきっと ここじゃない
Through hoping and experiencing disappointment, I've learned that this isn't where I belong.

矛盾だらけの人生を ここから変えたいの 輝きたい
I want to change this life filled with contradictions and shine from this point on.

涙が止まらないんだよ 犠牲を作っても報われない想い この痛み分かるの?
My tears won't stop falling. Is there anyone who can understand this pain of making sacrifices for unrequited feelings?

耳塞いでも聞こえる 汚い言葉と飲み込まれてゆく きれいな言葉 矛盾から抜け出すんだ
Even if I plug my ears, I can hear the dirty words that I swallow while striving to break free from contradictions with beautiful words.

可能性に賭けてみよう この流れも変えられるさ いつか 私 変えられるさ
Let's take a chance on possibilities. This course can be altered. Someday, I can change too.
