仮面
Yoh Kamiyama Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
The lyrics of Yoh Kamiyama's song 仮面 (Mask) talk about the struggles of two people trying to navigate through life with its highs and lows using a metaphor of wearing masks. The opening verse talks about how the two characters are still groping in the dark, trying to make it through their balancing act of life. They stumble and test their doubts, but still continue to push through. The line "正の字も二画目" (the second stroke of the character for "positive" on the wall) is a reference to when someone is at the lowest point of their lives, they often find themselves staring at the walls and "tracing" the characters on it.
The chorus expresses their inability to connect with each other. They reminisce, but their memories seem out of reach. They only remember the dim light of kindness but not its source. The second verse deals with realizing that nothing lasts forever, and change is inevitable. However, they also know that clinging onto excuses becomes an anchor in what could be an opportunity for growth. They both have their own baggage, but they keep it as a secret between them. The bridge of the song talks about how even in the dark, they both keep moving forward, trusting that the other is by their side.
Overall, the song talks about how wearing masks whether to hide pain, sadness, or even true selves can create barriers within ourselves and with others. But it also highlights the importance of pushing through the struggles in life and the the trust between people.

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

-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

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
