Death of the Wishful Thinker

Kibouteki Kansokushi / 希望的観測死

kasuka ni kireru yoru wo saratte, I run away with the night faintly wearing off,

dokoka no machi ni okizari ni shite, leave it behind at some random street,

chouchou ga haneru hada wo subette, run my hands over the skin butterflies dance upon,

kiseki no saki wo usuku mojitte. and lightly joke about what comes after the miracle.

kimi no, kotoba ni, madowasarete mo, Even if I am confused by your words,

sore ga, ureshii, oroka na boku sa, that is my happy, foolish self;

sekai no, mannaka, kimi shika utsuranai. at the heart of this world, nobody fits me but you.

boku no koe, kimi ni wa kikoenai, My voice, which you can't hear,

yoru no tobari tsukinuke, go break through the veil of darkness,

kimi ga moshi, boku ni waraikakeru naraba. if perhaps you are smiling at me.

shinde mitemo ii, ka naa. Maybe I should give death a try.

yagate chigireru asa ni sawatte, Soon I will begin to feel the torn-up morning,

sutesaru kage ni samezame naite, cry with sorrow to the shadow abandoning me,

shirazu ni warau dareka no se ni, and on the back of someone unknowingly sneering,

mijimesa dake ga ikioidzuite. only my misery will gather strength.

kimi no, kotoba wo, bouryokuteki ni, Your words, violently,

omoi, wazurai, tasukete hoshii, your thoughts, worries, I want to save them,

sekai wa, kowarete, kimi dake ga warau yo. so even if the world falls apart, you alone will laugh.

boku no uta, kimi ni wa todokanai, My song, which can't reach you,

asa no moya ni tsutsumare, go and cover yourself in the morning haze,

kimi ga moshi, boku ni kidzukanai no naraba. if perhaps you are not aware of me.

shinde mitemo ii, ka naa. Maybe I should give death a try.

yume ni miru, kimi to boku to futari, Looking at our dreams, you and me both,

onaji, mono ni, naretara. if we become one.

boku no koe, kimi ni wa kikoenai, My voice, which you can't hear,

yoru no tobari tsukinuke, go break through the veil of darkness,

kimi ga moshi, boku ni waraikakeru naraba. if perhaps you are smiling at me.

shinde mitemo ii, ka naa. Maybe I should give death a try.
