Keep Moving

THE SHAMISEN SPAKS

I’m still a nobody, walking through the night

まだ何者でもない だけど I still hold on tight

Neon from the corner store, my only little light

うまくいかない today, but I say “I’m alright”

Crumpled little notes, broken half-done plans

ポケットの中のメモ 震えたmy two hands

All these detour footsteps, all these heavy days

ぐちゃぐちゃなmapでも someday will show my way

It’s alright to fall and crash from time to time

ゼロには戻らない every scar’s a silver line

When I turn around, I see how far I’ve come

「ここまで来たんだ」って whispers, “you’re not done”

I’ll keep moving, 進み続ける

The future is an unfinished, half-written answer

形はまだ見えないけど I still sing along

I stand on today and step by step, I stay strong

I’ll keep moving, even when I feel lost

答えはいつも one more step across

It’s fine if I stumble, no perfect road I need

「まだやれるはずだろ」 my heart keeps taking the lead

Lost inside the social ocean, everyone’s so bright

みんな眩しすぎて I start to lose my light

“Guess I’ll never make it,” my fingers start to freeze

それでもキーを叩く I was born to fight like this

In somebody’s victory shadow, I could cry all night

誰にも見えない場所で I grow a little inside

Every tiny failed attempt, every sleepless night

全部つながる日が someday will come in sight

Even if it feels like everything’s in vain

無駄になんてならない something’s born from every pain

All the days that felt like rain, wouldn’t let me breathe

やがて足もとで咲く flowers underneath my feet

On the nights I wanna quit, wanna disappear

全部投げ出したくて “I’m done with this year”

Still my heartbeat knocks, quiet but it’s true

「まだ終わりじゃないよ」says, “there’s more for you to do”

Every single failure is the reason I’m this strong

比べる相手はもう他人じゃない one

The only one I have to pass is yesterday’s old me

追い越した瞬間 a brighter world I’ll see

I’ll keep moving, 進み続ける

Even if my dream’s outline starts to blur and alter

諦めなかった分だけ new roads are being born

All the long way ’round becomes my own marathon

I’ll keep moving, this is not “the end,” I know

スタートラインだけ増えてく more places I can go

So I say goodbye to who I was in yesterday’s clothes

そして明日の僕へ I will walk the road he chose

I’ll keep moving, 進み続ける

I’ll keep moving till my darkest night meets dawn
