是程多くの眼がバラバラに
何かを探すとなりゃあ其れなり
様々な言葉で各々の全てを
見極めなくちゃあならない
正しいとか 間違いとか
黒だとか 白だとか

何処に行けば良いのですか
君を信じて良いのですか
愛してくれるのですか
あたしは誰なのですか
怖くて仕方が無いだけなのに…

是迄多くの眼がちやほやと
ひたすらあたしを肯定した
様々な合図でてきぱきと
姿を見破られなくちゃあならない
優れていて 劣っていて
数だとか レヴェルとか

此処に居れば良いのですか
誰が真実なのですか
お金が欲しいのですか
あたしは誰なのですか
何処に行けば良いのですか
君を信じて良いのですか
愛してくれるのですか
あたしは誰なのですか
此の先も現在(いま)も無いだけなのに…

Look how many eyes are scattered everywhere
Each one searching in its own way for something from someone
Each one using all the words they know
to ascertain everything they can:
Is it correct? Is it a mistake?
Is it black? Is it white?
Where should I go?
Should I believe in you?
Are you going to love me?
Who am I, even?
It’s just that I can’t help getting scared…
Up until now so many eyes
Flatteringly, devotedly, have affixed themselves to me
Because of the chinks in my armor
They must see right through the transparency of my appearance…
How are my numbers? How is my position?
Am I succeeding? Am I falling behind?
Is this where I should be?
Who’s being real with me?
Is it money that you want?
Who am I, even?
Where should I go?
Should I believe in you?
Are you going to love me?
Who am I, even?
It’s just that no one answers me when I ask these things, and they never have… 🍎
