思考なんてとっくに捨ててしまった shikou nante tokkuni suteteshimatta I threw away my capacity for thought a long time ago
痛みさえ麻痺して消えてしまった itami sae mahishite kieteshimatta Even the pain turned numb and disappeared
本当は大事なものなのに hontou wa daijina mono na no ni It’s something so important and yet
もういい終わってしまったことだ mou ii owatteshimatta koto da It doesn’t matter anymore… It’s all in the past now

さよなら sayonara Goodbye

Goodnight! Goodnight! Goodnight!

最近なんだかすごく眠くってさ saikin nandaka sugoku nemukutte sa Lately, I’ve been feeling so sleepy all the time
そばにいさせて ここは寒いね soba ni isasete koko wa samui ne Let me stay by your side… Isn’t it really cold here?
いつの間にかきみは遠くで笑ってて itsunomanika kimi wa tooku de warattete Before I know it, you’re smiling in the distance
きらきらした水面みたい kirakira shita minamo mitai Like the water surface that sparkled
すぐにも消え去りそう sugu ni mo kiesarisou You look like you’re about to disappear soon

卑怯なほど罪から逃げていた hikyouna hodo tsumi kara nigeteita I ran away from my sin like a coward
鏡に映る誰かと語った kagami ni utsuru dareka to katatta I conversed with someone I saw in the mirror
無口なぶん目が雄弁で mukuchina bun me ga yuuben de The less words you say, the more the eyes give away
困るな そんなに見つめられると komaru na sonnani mitsumerareru to I’ll be at a loss if you stare at me so much

見るなよ miru na yo Don’t watch me so intently

現実なんてさ忘れちゃっていい genjitsu nante sa wasurechatte ii It’s better to just forget about reality
子供のように遊びに行こう kodomo no youni asobi ni ikou Let’s go play like children
あまりに僕は汚れきってしまってて amarini boku wa yogorekitteshimattete I was covered in so much dirt
その手すらも握れずいた sono te sura mo nigirezu ita That I couldn’t even hold your hand

どうかその胸の中で眠らせて douka sono mune no naka de nemurasete Please let me sleep on your chest
温かな夢を見させて atatakana yume wo misasete Let me have warm dreams
心療内科で shinryounaika de When my psychotherapist asks me
「あれからどうでしょう？」 "are kara dou deshou?" How I’ve been doing since my last visit
何を答えても処方は変わらない nani wo kotaete mo shohou wa kawaranai No matter what I answer, the prescription won’t change

思考なんてとっとと捨ててしまえ shikou nante tottoto suteteshimae Let’s quickly throw away any capacity for thought
痛みさえ麻痺させ楽になれよ itami sae mahisase raku ni nareyo Let even the pain turn numb and start feeling comfortable
本当は大事だったはずなのにね hontou wa daiji datta hazu na noni ne It should have been something important and yet

さよなら sayonara Goodbye

Wake Up! Wake Up! Wake Up!

最近なんだかすごく眠くってさ saikin nandaka sugoku nemukutte sa Lately, I’ve been feeling so sleepy all the time
そばにいさせて ここは寒いね soba ni isasete koko wa samui ne Let me stay by your side… Isn’t it really cold here?
いつの間にかきみは遠くで笑ってた itsunomanika kimi wa tooku de waratteta Before I know it, you’re smiling in the distance
ひらひら舞う花びらみたい hirahira mau hanabira mitai Like a flower petal fluttering in the wind
きらきらしたビー玉みたい kirakira shita biidama mitai Like a glass marble that sparkled
夏に揺れる風鈴みたい natsu ni yureru fuurin mitai Like a wind chime swaying in summer
すぐにも消え去りそう sugu ni mo kiesarisou You look like you’re about to disappear soon

Comment from Maeda Jun in the album:

I think Suzuki Konomi-san shines in powerful songs, while XAI-san shines in downer songs like this one. Their vocal qualities and styles of expression are polar opposites. The ad-libs in the interludes, which lack lyrics, are improvised on the day of the recording. Even then, Suzuki Konomi-san's delivery is powerful, while XAI-san's delivery is emotional. I think that it becomes easy to understand when you listen to the album all the way through. It's the mysterious combination of these two.
