足跡の行き先

霧に濡れた路面、白い息がほどけるMist-wet pavement, my white breath comes undone

水たまりに逆さの月が揺れるA moon hangs upside down, swaying in the puddle

近づいては消える足音Footsteps draw near, then fade to none

ほどけた靴紐のまま　同じ角を曲がるShoelaces still loose, I turn the same corner again

景色は名前だけ変えて現れるThe scenery returns with nothing but its name changed

針のない時計が　夜を測りA clock without hands keeps measuring the night

折り目だらけの地図がポケットで軋むA creased-over map groans inside my pocket

息を潜めて　一拍を捨てるI hold my breath and let one beat fall away

影が二つに増えた気がしたFor a moment I thought my shadow had split in two

止んだ拍のすぐあとでRight after the beat that died

見えないドアが　かすかに鳴るAn unseen door rings out, faint and low

足跡の行き先　今　示してShow me now where these footprints are headed

円を描いても　中心は変わるI draw a circle, yet the center keeps shifting

迷いが濃くなるほど　輪郭ははっきりThe deeper the doubt, the sharper the outline grows

最後の一歩で　僕は辿りつくOn the final step, I finally arrive

落ちるビートを　肩で受け止めI catch the falling beat upon my shoulder

消えた旋律の隙間に風が入るWind slips through the gaps the lost melody left

「戻れ」と「進め」が交互に点滅し“Turn back” and “go on” flicker on and off in turn

ポケットの鍵が　やっと音を立てたThe key in my pocket at last makes a sound

立ち止まる一秒で　世界は折りたたまれIn the one second I stop, the world folds shut

次の一秒で　線になってほどけるIn the next, it unfolds into a single line

閉じた瞼の裏の　細い光へToward the thin light behind my closed eyelids

深く吸い込み　踏み出していくI breathe in deep and step my way forward

足跡の行き先　静かに照らせShow me, softly, where these footprints lead

ループの夜を抜ける合図をThe signal to break free of this looping night

諦めかけた瞬間　扉は外へ開くThe instant I almost gave up, the door swings outward

「ここだ」と内側から声がする“It is here,” a voice calls from within

もしも何も変わらないのならIf nothing at all is ever going to change

僕が変わって　風向きを変えるThen I will change, and turn the wind around

隠していた震えまで抱きしめとI hold even the trembling I once hid, close to me

足跡の行き先は　ここに結ぶThese footprints find their end right here

円ではなく　ほどけた線でNot in a circle, but in a line set free

迷いの分だけ　強く踏みしめFor every doubt, I press my step down harder

最後の一歩で　僕は場所になるOn the final step, I become the place

足跡の行き先は　ここに結ぶThese footprints find their end right here

ループの夜を抜けた線でIn a line that broke free of the looping night

迷いの分だけ　強く踏みしめFor every doubt, I press my step down harder

最後の一歩で　僕は場所になるOn the final step, I become the place

朝が舗道をうすく染めるMorning stains the walkway in pale light

振り向けば　輪はもうないI turn to look, and the loop is already gone

新しい靴音がA new sound of footsteps

遠くの僕に追いついていくcatches up to the distant me
