As per request. There’s a beautiful “raw” vibe to this song and its lyrics that reminds me a lot of music by RADWIMPS.
「them」– pigstar
“The distant sky is shining bright / I smell rain in the air
And somewhere, someone is crying…”
Translation:
The distant sky is shining bright / The scent of rain in the air
And somewhere, someone is crying
I see myself, sullied as I am, reflected in the mirror
“I’m right here!” I shout / Can anyone hear me?
I want to touch you / I want you to touch me
But I’m so scared / So I turn and start running
I hold my breath / I can’t let it go
But I still want you to find me
The birds have forgotten how to sing their song
But it’s said they won’t survive the winter
I still remember how to sing my song
Though I’ve lost my voice / Can anyone hear me?
I want to touch you / I want you to touch me
But I’m so scared / So I turn and start running
I hold my breath / I can’t let it go
But I still want you to find me
I wonder if my future can overcome this world of mine
Your world will shape my world
And reinvent it from scratch
And my world will shape your future

Tooku no sora ga hikaru / ame no niou ga
Dokoka de dareka ga naiteru
Yogorete shimatta jibun wo / kagami ni utsushite
Boku ha koko ni iru yo tte / dareka ni
Furetakute fureraretakute
Demo kowakute / ima koko kara hashiridashite
Iki wo koroshite / isso koroshite
Demo boku wo mitsukete hoshii
Uta wo wasurete shimatta / toritachi ha
Fuyu wo kosenai to iu kedo
Boku no uta wa mada / oboeteiru yo
Koe wa wasureta keredo / dareka ni
Furetakute fureraretakute
Demo kowakute / ima koko kara hashiridashite
Iki wo koroshite / isso koroshite
Demo boku wo mitsukete hoshii
Boku no mirai ga / boku no sekai wo koeru ka na
Kimi no sekai ga / boku no sekai wo
Tsukuridashite kureru
Boku no sekai ga / kimi no mirai wo
