velocity

words: Shinichiro Yamashita
music: Kenji Arai
arrangement: Kenji Arai

the small incident going by unnoticed for now will come in time
it’ll arrive at a decisive moment

a past of soul-searching is becoming my excuse for the present
I melt the shackles binding my feet and go find the object of my desires

I am guided at a speed faster than sound

the small incident going by unnoticed for now will come in time
it’ll arrive at a decisive moment
even the long nights I spent wounded, wounding, and mourning
can one day be reborn into the thing I never wish to lose

mind’s focused only on the sound of the wind
the silence of the calm, forgotten
only the memories I avoided are gaining acceleration

I have a dream protected by resilient tears

the only words going through my head seem to already be building a tomorrow
where I can expose my weakness in this insignificant town

there is nothing my hands can grasp while holding this mirror
I won’t run away from the reality wrenching my heart
even the long nights I spent wounded, wounding, and mourning
can one day be reborn into the thing I never wish to lose

unnoticed for now…
time just ticks away…

ima wa kizukanai mama　sugiyuku chiisa na dekigoto mo
yagate otozureru　taisetsu na shunkan ni tadoritsuku

sagari au you na kinou ga　iiwake no mainichi ni naru
ashi ni tsuita kase wo tokashi　hoshii mono wo mitsukedasu

koe wo kesu hodo no hayasa de　michibikareru

ima wa kizukanai mama　sugiyuku chiisa na dekigoto mo
yagate otozureru　taisetsu na shunkan ni tadoritsuku
itsuka kizutsuite kizutsukete　kuyanda nagai yoru mo
nakushitakunai mono ni　umarekawaru koto dekiru kara

kaze no oto dake ni ki wo torare　nagi no shizukesa wasureteru
hagurakashita kioku nomi ga　kasokudo tsukete iru kara

tsuyoi namida ni mamorareta　yume wo motte

kurikaesu dake no kotoba wa　mou muimi na kono machi de
jibun no yowasa wo sarakedaseru asu wo tsukuri dasou

kagami to tsunaida te no mama de　tsukameru mono nado nai
mune wo shimetsukeru you na　shinjitsu kara mo nigenaide
itsuka kizutsuite kizutsukete　kuyanda nagai yoru mo
nakushita kunai mono ni　umarekawaru koto dekiru kara

ima wa kizukanai mama de…
tada toki wo kizamu dake de…
