Lyric

デカい声で吠えてみたって

(Even if I bark with a big loud voice,)

胸の奥はスカスカで

(The inside of my chest is hollow.)

拳 握れば 震えてる

(When I clench my fist, it’s shaking.)

笑うなよ　これが今の俺

(Don’t laugh. This is who I am right now.)

嘘みたいに光る街で

(In a city glowing like a lie,)

自分だけ影が薄くて

(I’m the only one fading into the shadows.)

才能ってやつを見上げては

(I look up at that thing called talent,)

ビールで流し　また目を逸らす

(Wash it down with beer and look away again.)

強がりは癖になって

(Putting on a brave face has become a habit,)

弱さは錆びついて

(My weakness is rusted over.)

誰にも見せないつもりが

(I meant to hide it from everyone,)

一番　自分にバレてんだよ

(But I’m the one who knows it best.)

大きく見せてるだけなんだ

(I’m just making myself look bigger than I am.)

中身はまだガキのまま

(Inside, I’m still just a kid.)

意気地なしのハートが

(My cowardly heart)

ドクドク鳴って　逃げ場を探す

(Beats hard, searching for a place to run.)

羨望と嫉妬の海で

(In a sea of envy and jealousy,)

溺れながらも息を吸う

(I keep breathing even as I drown.)

カッコ悪いままでも

(Even if I look uncool,)

今日は　立っていたい

(Today, I want to stay standing.)

才能あるヤツの背中

(The backs of talented people)

眩しくて　目が痛ぇ

(Are so bright it hurts my eyes.)

祝福の言葉 並べて

(I line up words of praise,)

心ん中じゃ歯ぎしりだ

(While grinding my teeth inside.)

自分には何がある？

(What do I even have?)

そんな問いは夜に増えて

(Those questions multiply at night.)

答え出ないまま朝が来て

(Morning comes with no answers.)

また平気な顔を貼り付ける

(And I paste on another calm face.)

逃げたいとか　投げたいとか

(Wanting to run, wanting to quit,)

本音は山ほどあるけど

(I’ve got tons of honest feelings like that.)

それでもまだ　くたばらず

(Still, I haven’t dropped dead yet.)

ここに立ってる　それだけで

(Just standing here is something.)

ハリボテみたいなプライドを

(A papier-mâché kind of pride)

鎧みたいに着込んでさ

(I wear it like armor.)

情けなさがバレる前に

(Before my pathetic side shows,)

笑って　煙に巻く

(I laugh and blow it away in smoke.)

嫉妬も劣等感も

(Jealousy and inferiority alike)

全部　血の味がして

(All taste like blood.)

未熟なままの俺が

(Me, still immature,)

今日も　歌ってる

(Is singing again today.)

完成なんて来なくていい

(Perfection never has to come.)

途中で転げて　泥だらけ

(I stumble halfway, covered in mud.)

そのまんま叫べたら

(If I can scream like that,)

少しはマシだろ

(Maybe it’s a little better.)

大きく見せてるだけなんだ

(I’m just making myself look big.)

それでも前に出るんだ

(Even so, I step forward.)

弱さ抱えたハートが

(A heart carrying weakness)

うるさく鳴る　それが生きてる証

(Beats loud. That’s proof I’m alive.)

意気地なしでも　嫉妬しても

(Even if I’m a coward, even if I’m jealous,)

逃げ足 速くても構わねぇ

(Even if I’m quick to run, I don’t care.)

未熟なまま　この声で

(Staying immature, with this voice,)

今日を　生きていけ

(I’ll live through today.)
