Kanji:

どうしてだろう

僕に無いものはずっときれいに見える

いつからだろう

比べることで輝き見出してた

霞み濁っていく　視界取り払おう

眼と耳を塞ぐのは早すぎるから

「真っ白な僕」だと　世界を嘆かずに

空っぽの手のひら　笑い飛ばしてさ

特別な何かを追い求めなくても

君と笑いあえる　僕と笑い、会える

焦がれた光の　差す場所は想像の先のFLAT

いつからだろう

希望は諦めになってしまっていた

どうしてだろう

叶わない夢だと決めつけるのは

握りしめていた　拳解き放とう

今までに悔いるのは早すぎるから

「真っ暗な夜」だと　世界を殺さずに

空っぽだからこそ　全てになれるの

特別な何かを追い求めなくても

君と笑いあえる　僕と笑い、会える

焦がれた光の　差す場所は想像の先のFLAT

ずっと　自分の声には

耳貸さずにいて　君の声を呪ってばかりだったよ

きっと　隠れた光

僕の中に生まれてるって信じるんだ

認めてあげるんだ

「真っ白な僕」だと　世界を嘆かずに

空っぽの手のひら　笑い飛ばしてさ

特別な何かを追い求めなくても

君と笑いあえる　僕と笑い、会える

焦がれた光の　差す場所は想像の先のFLAT


English:

Why is it, I wonder,

That the things I don’t have look so much more beautiful?

How long have I been like this,

Selectively seeing the glitter within the comparison?

Let’s clear away this hazy, clouded field of view,

Because it’s too soon to cover our eyes and ears.

Instead of lamenting over the world and the pure-white blankness of the self,

Just laugh at the empty palm of your hand.

Even without chasing after that special something out there,

I can meet and laugh with the me who can laugh together with you.

The place marked by the light that I longed for lies past imagination – FLAT.

How long have I been like this, with hope falling away and turning to resignation?

Why is it, I wonder, that I write it off as an unattainable dream?

Let’s unleash my tightly clenched fists,

Because it’s too soon for all the regret I’ve felt thus far.

Don’t kill the world because of the pitch-black night;

It is because of the emptiness that it can become everything.

Even without chasing after that special something out there,

I can meet and laugh with the me who can laugh together with you.

The place marked by the light that I longed for lies past imagination – FLAT.

I’d always gone on without listening

To the sound of my own voice, only ever cursing the sound of yours.

I’m sure the light that was ridde

Is coming to life within me – I believe that,

So I’ll acknowledge you.

Instead of lamenting over the world and the pure-white blankness of the self,

Just laugh at the empty palm of your hand.

Even without chasing after that special something out there,

I can meet and laugh with the me who can laugh together with you.

The place marked by the light that I longed for lies past imagination – FLAT.
