lyrics

the sound of today,
lazy like a train.
I’m lying on the rail,
lying on the cold rail,
and singing.

the sound of today,
bitter like someone’s clinging.
I’m digging the frozen ground,
but don’t mind if it takes all night.

when the morning comes,
I’ll find my portion’s gone.
I’ll poke the unearthed nuclear bomb
with the tip of the shovel.

during Chinese Whispers,
someone must have made a mistake.
however, I’ll be waiting for
the sound of today
at your back door.

the sound of today,
goes up a river life a fish,
and sits, prays, and sings in
a circle with a one-meter radius.

when the midnight comes,
all my pieces will be dug up.
I’ll melt my worries slowly
on my tongue.

during the shooting game,
someone must have shot the ally.
however, I’ll be waiting for
the sound of today
inside your white frame.

I’m watching today pouring down,
from the inside of this mirror.
my back hurts too much
to move on to the left road again.

the sound of today,
lazy like a train.
I’m lying on the rail,
lying on the cold rail,
and singing.

the sound of today,
is heard in someone’s house.
I’m sitting on a toilet seat,
and listening to the sound of today.

今日の音は
列車のように怠惰
わたしは線路に寝そべっている
冷たい線路に横たわり歌っている

今日の音は
誰かの執着のように苦い
わたしは凍った土を掘っている
一晩かかっても構わない

やがて朝が来れば
わたしの取り分は残っていないだろう
出土した核爆弾を
シャベルの先でつついているだろう

きっと伝言ゲームの途中で
誰かが物語を語り間違ったんだ
それでもわたしはあなたの家の裏口で
今日の音を待っているにちがいない

今日の音は
魚のように川を遡る
半径１mの円の中で
座り、祈り、歌っている

やがて真夜中になれば
わたしのかけらは掘り尽くされているだろう
心配事を舌の上に乗せて
ゆっくりと溶かしているだろう

きっと射撃ゲームの途中で
誰かが味方を撃ってしまったんだ
それでもわたしはあなたの白い枠の中で
今日の音を待っているにちがいない

滝のように流れ落ちていく今日を
わたしはこの鏡の中から見ている
背中の痛みがひどいから
二度と左側の道へは進めなくなってしまった

今日の音は
列車のように怠惰
わたしは線路に寝そべっている
冷たい線路に横たわり歌っている

今日の音は
他人の家の中で鳴っている
わたしはトイレの便座に腰掛けて
今日の音を聞いている
