心に穴が空いた [kokoro ni ana ga aita] [English translation]

A small hole opened up

Right in the middle of my chest

A night-imitating twilight

Painted the town

I want to forget

I want to forget

But in the blue sky that buries my mind that wants to forget, I only see you

That’s why a hole opened up in my heart

My heartbeat pounded as if to fill it in

When I opened my mouth to talk to you

What came out was mostly excuses

That’s why a hole opened up in my heart

I thought only the falling rain was warm

I’m fixing, fixing, fixing

My faceless self alone

It’s like sleeping in a forest where a hole has gradually opened in the light coming through the leaves

Deep like the bottom of the sea

Deep, deep, deep, like sleeping still more

Until moonlight is seen in the depths of eyes covered up by the deep darkness of night

A hole opened up in your heart

What does music matter, anyway?

Just open your mouth

If you stay silent, you’ll never get the things you deserve

There are so many things I want to forget

Only resignation comes out of my mouth

Stumbling, stumbling, falling, feeling only the cold ground

I want to write about my life, which I wanted to make into your life

It’s because of the songs you left behind

It’s all music’s fault

I imitated the way you spoke

I copied the way you lived

But though I tried to erase myself so that nothing of me would remain

It remains still

I clung to your words

Which nestled in the hole in my heart

But it’s different now

I don’t ever want to hear “goodbye”

There are so many things I want to forget

From now on, only I will grow older

Growing colder, growing colder

A hole opened up in my heart

Your words opened a hole in my heart

I understand now

“You alone are my music,” Amy

That’s why a hole opened up in my heart

You were nestled on the other side of it

It will never go back to the way it was

It’s just a hole that’s spreading, spreading, spreading

Just me, with a hole in my heart
