Sakamichi Lyrics

(back to home)

Zetsubou no ichibyou mae ( ▶ )
絶望の一秒前 (One second before despair)

Tell me how you feel looking at yourself
Tell me how you feel looking at yourself

「saikin no boku wa karamawari shinagara kowareteiku」

「lately i've been spinning in place and falling apart」

kaze wa itsu fukihajimeta?

when did this wind start blowing?

「kanjou no hane ga kurukuru tomarazu ni ki ni natterunda」

「my feelings keep fluttering their wings around me distractingly」

kokoro ga zawameiteru

my heart won't settle down

oowareta ano kumo ga shinpai na no wa
sou asu wo shinjirarenai kara da

yeah, it's because i have no faith in tomorrow
that the clouds covering the sky make me worry

What do you think about yourself?

konna boku janakatta no ni (I don't get it)

i didn't used to be like this (I don't get it)

What do you think about yourself?

korekara nani wo subeki ka?

what am i supposed to do from now on?

Let me know

【CHORUS 1 START】

zetsubou no ichibyou mae hoshi wa kasuka ni hikari

one second before despair, the stars shine faintly

shikkoku no yami ga kuru yo

look, a pitch black darkness is coming

Can you see that? Darkness coming here

boku ga mitsuketa yume wa ippai no wakusei no naka
magirekonde shimatta

amidst so many planets,
the dream I'd found for myself got lost

I am searching for my only dream

dare no sei ka sekinin wo nasuritsukeai

asking whose fault it is, shifting the blame among us

kuru koto no nai yoake no sora wo mattemo

even if we wait for a dawning sky that will never come

kekkyoku wa kimi jishin doushitai ka kikou

in the end try and ask yourself, what do you want to do?

【CHORUS 1 END】

Tell me how you feel looking at yourself
Tell me how you feel looking at yourself

「dare datte kinou ni shibarareta you ni kyou wo ikiru」

「everyone lives in the present while tied down by the past」

kigi wa nani ni obieru no ka?

what might the trees be afraid of?

「ningen kankei wa doushite fukuzatsu de mendou nanoka?」

「why are interpersonal relationships so complex and troublesome?」

uso wo tsuite nigekiru

i just lie and run away

yasashisa ni hodasare toritsukurottemo

even if i try to keep up appearances, to repay someone's kindness

aa sono uchi boku wa uragiru darou

ah, I know I'll betray them eventually

Looking at yourself, what do you see there?

genjitsu kara me wo somekeruna (I've gotta do it)

don't look away from reality (I've gotta do it)

Looking at yourself, what do you see there?

ichiban taisetsu na mono

what matters most

Here we go!

【CHORUS 2 START】

kibou nanka mienai

i can't see any hope

kodoku kara te wo nobashi
donzoko no fukasa wo shiru

when i try to reach beyond my solitude
i find out just how deep rock-bottom is

Can you hear that? My anxiety

hito wa daredemo minna nanimonai maruhadaka

all people are born naked, with nothing

sore dake wa byoudou darou

isn't that the one way we are equal?

Can't ignore it voices in my mind

ikikata ni sae kechitsukete senaka muketemo

even if i find issue in my very way of life and turn my back on it

kyou mo asu mo nemurenai yoru wa kawarazu

in nights when I can't sleep, it's always the same

muryoku na jibun hikui tenjou wo niramu

my powerless self can only glower at the low ceiling

【CHORUS 2 END】

Looking at yourself, what do you see there?
Looking at yourself, what do you see there?

【CHORUS 1 REPEATS】
