ASKA - 月が近づけば少しはましだろう

ASKA – It would be somewhat better, if the moon got closer     

Every time I’m told many things  

I become weak as expected  

Every time I ponder over many things  

I get shot, and  

I become a man unknown to even my girlfriend

I lean against a wall, and swallow them again

Beside a small waterfall

Those words evaporate when I turn a corner, but

I cannot help but seethe with fury

Those words could be gently wiped away with my fingertip, but

When they pile up, I cannot help but cry

I don’t think that I have lived while fooling myself, but

On many occasions, I nearly failed while being covered with dreams

Maybe, I sorted out my ordinary self

Those who pass by my mind

Those who appear fleetingly

A lot of people flow through ticket gates in the morning

Pulling a curtain, I roll onto my bed

I close my eyes as if concluding the quietly ticking time

It would be somewhat better, if the moon got closer

Sinking my body that is reluctant to move into a blanket,

I listened to the sound of a siren that keeps blaring,

Wondering whether it is from my own heart

Those words evaporate when I turn a corner, but

I cannot help but seethe with fury

Those words could be gently wiped away with my fingertip, but

When they pile up, I cannot help but cry

I close my eyes as if concluding the quietly ticking time

It would be somewhat better, if the moon got closer
