Lyrics Meaning
If I lose sight of light, what remains? Don’t leave me alone. Sing my song from countless melodies. On a night bus, shaken in darkness, showered in a sky bathtub, alone in a six-mat room, singing overflows. Scrolling through my mind diary, singing of ruins and delusions, love, nothing else. If our world blurs with tears, look up at the night sky, search for stars. They laugh so beautifully, like a kaleidoscope Tokyo blurred with tears. Let me be alone, earthlings, I’m an alien anyway. If I force a smile, treat me as a transparent person. No matter how much I stretch, I won’t grow taller, no matter how much I eat, my heart remains small. Singing strange songs, I’m just an ordinary person in this city. Our lives themselves are art, not just a way to pass the time. Pretending to know that, you sleep tonight before 24:00. If our world blurs with tears, look up at the night sky, search for stars. They laugh so beautifully, like a kaleidoscope Tokyo blurred with tears. If you lose sight of light, remember this song.
