Slide
Lyrics: Arimura Ryuutarou
Composition: Hasegawa Tadashi
Translation by Yuri_Nikko
I drank some milk feeling all dizzy
I dreamt up a fantasy like air
I sucked on my black toenails
I kept doing it forever til’ I got bored
I count the times I’ve chewed my nails
Open the window, I’m done waiting
As the sliding speed of the scenery
is going faster I’m gonna stand still
hoping for a happier tomorrow
I’m going to paint this world a deeper blue, always—.
On a night with a crescent moon like a fish hook
I saw my own depressed reflection
I wanted to be nailed down so that I couldn’t run
I saw the wounds of my new self
What are you crying for again?
Just be honest with me about the pain
When the sliding scenery stopped
I felt the future breaking
Even my eyes were dazzled by a white morning to come
Because I was blinded it seemed like there was nothing else, always—.
I count the times I’ve chewed my nails, waiting for when it ends
And someday on the other side of the window you’ll be smiling
waving your hand at me
As the sliding speed of the scenery
is going faster I’m gonna stand still
hoping for a happier tomorrow
I’m going to paint this world a deeper blue, always—.
