As A Symbol (original)

今までの日々 ふと思い出したんだ
土砂降りの雨の中 飛ぶ飛行機の中で
針と糸ひとつ手渡され「はじめ」の合図で
針の穴に糸を通す これを繰り返すようなDays Ace
これからの日々 ふと描きだしたんだ
上下左右 乱高下 もう吐きそうなんだ
泣いてすがったり落ちてひろったり皆様様々
震える手 霞みゆく視界
僕の指なぜ八本？
ひとっこひとり殺さずに誰とも肩ぶつからずに
いじめずいじめられずに車にはねられぬように
病、火事、事故、地震
日々 紙一重でかわしながら
騙されぬほどに優しく 嫌味にならぬほどに賢く
生きなさいとさ はい、そうかい
曖昧なようで 明快なような
繊細なストーリーを
踏み外さぬように 逃さぬように
細心の注意を
あんたに言ってもなんだかさっぱりだとは思いますが
あんたもバッタリ或る日そっくり引きずり込まれるさぁ
悲しみの匂いが鼻について洗い流そうと席を立った
トイレに向かうがそこは悲嘆者の列 嗚咽の列
諦め目を瞑る者 膝をつき許し請う者
腕に針あてて愛しき人の名を彫り入れる者
彼らの様横目に祝杯と声あげる者
着陸までに糸通した者だけが明日を生きられると
わざとらしくもしおらしく
生きなさいとさ はい、そうかい
天上のようで地獄絵図のような
ぞんざいなストーリーを
一抜けるもよし 駆け抜けるもよし
そう究極のチョイスを
僕のそっくりが一人こっそり非常口の前へ
おもむろにゆっくりハンドルを切り制止を振り切りシュートが開き
そんなのほっとけ 落ちたきゃ勝手にさせとけそれよりも針に糸を
曖昧なようで 明快なような
繊細なストーリーを
踏み外さぬように 逃さぬように
細心の注意を
喜劇的なようで 悲劇的な運命
お好きに調理を
つま先立つもよし いきり立つもよし
行け 最高到達点を

(translation)

I suddenly remembered the days I've been up to
In the pouring rain In a flying plane
A needle and a thread were handed over and the signal of "beginning"
Thread the thread through the hole in the needle Days Ace like repeating this
The days from now on I suddenly started drawing
Up, down, left, right, up and down
Various people, crying, falling, and spreading
Shivering hands haze
Why eight fingers?
Don't kill one person, don't hit anyone's shoulders
Don't be bullied and hit by a car
Illness, fire, accident, earthquake
Dodging with a single sheet of paper every day
Gentle enough not to be deceived and smart enough not to be sarcastic
She said yes, yes
It seems vague and clear
A delicate story
Don't step on it, don't miss it
Be very careful
I think it's kind of refreshing to say to you
You're just dragged in one day
The smell of sadness stood up to wash away my nose
Heading to the bathroom, but there is a line of mourners, a line of sobbing
Those who give up and close their eyes Those who kneel and forgive
A person who puts a needle on his arm and engraves the name of a loved one
Those who say a celebration to the side like them
Only those who threaded by the time of landing can live tomorrow
On purpose
Live, yes, that's right
Like heaven, like a picture of hell
A messy story
It ’s okay to run through, it ’s okay to run through.
So the ultimate choice
One person who looks exactly like me secretly in front of the emergency exit
Slowly turn the steering wheel and shake off the restraint to open the shoot.
If it falls off like that, let it fall without permission. Rather than that, put a thread on the needle.
It seems vague and clear
A delicate story
Don't step on it, don't miss it
Be very careful
Comedic and tragic fate
Cook as you like
You can stand on your toes
Go to the highest point
