Character of the Earth

Character of the Earth(2017)

I listen carefully to kindness,
It's easy to imagine, though
To receive compassion
It's about as important,
I was desperate to express sorrow, that day I was not watching it

Even though I know
If that word doesn't fit in the form
To get scratched
But just saying that
I don't notice the back of the smile in front of my eyes

Yes, only to give in
People become painful, they will pass each other
So I came here,
Let's also receive words that don't suit

I listen carefully to kindness,
It's easy to imagine, though
To receive compassion
It's about as important,
I desire to have you see it this day, desperately desiring to express sorrow

Even though I know
If that word doesn't fit in the form
To get scratched
But just saying that
I don't notice the back of the smile in front of my eyes

Yes, only to give in
People become painful, they will pass each other
So now I came,
Let's also receive words that don't suit

Tomorrow, tomorrow, with anyone

from now…

地球の性格(2017)

思いやる優しさは良く聞くし、
想像もしやすいけど
思いやりを受け取ることも
同じくらい大切で、
悲しみを表現することに 必死になってたあの日の僕は、それを見ていなかったんだね

分かってはいても
その言葉が型に嵌まらないと
傷付いてしまう
でもそれを言うだけでは
目の前の微笑みの裏には気付かないと思うんだ

そう、与え合うだけだと
人は苦しくなる、すれ違っていく
だからここに来た、
似合わない言葉も、受け取っていこう

思いやる優しさは良く聞くし、
想像もしやすいけど
思いやりを受け取ることも
同じくらい大切で、
悲しみを表現することに 必死になってるこの日の君に、それを見てもらいたいと願うよ

分かってはいても
その言葉が型に嵌まらないと
傷付いてしまう
でもそれを言うだけでは
目の前の微笑みの裏には気付かないと思うんだ

そう、与え合うだけだと
人は苦しくなる、すれ違っていく
だから今来た、
似合わない言葉も、受け取っていこう

明日も、明日も、誰とでも

今から…
