浜崎あゆみ – mimosa

Ayumi Hamasaki – mimosa     

“What kinds of words would you give to your past self?”  

It’s a frequently asked question, isn’t it?  

Although this sounds a cliché,  

I would answer,  

“Your efforts will pay off, so there will be no problem”

Because I’ve never forgotten the bitterness of tears on that day

I’m walking probably because I realized that

Things would not go well, just because you have grown up

Scars will not heal as time goes by

What matters is how much you can overwrite them with your smiles

To do so, you are living today without giving up, I think

Memories of the days in which I said indifferently,

“Counting from the end is an overreaction and it is not realistic,”

Have become distant, and

Such surrealism is wrenching my heart

I know that in the present age,

It is not smart to believe in people from the bottom of your heart or

Devote your entire life to something, but

You must muddle through,

Because this is the world where you live

Those who do not know anything tend to say,

“That must be rough on you” or “I understand that”

Words have ruptured, turning into a loop of nihilism

I’m walking probably because I realized that

Things would not go well, just because you have grown up

Scars will not heal as time goes by

What matters is how much you can overwrite them with your smiles

To do so, you are living today without giving up, I think

I know that in the present age,

It is not smart to believe in people from the bottom of your heart or

Devote your entire life to something, but

You must muddle through,

Because this is the world where you live
