8.5 no beesu kaabuMy contact lens has a base curve of 8.5,
Sekai wo miru both eyesseeing the world through both eyes.
Koitsu nakeryaIf I don’t have these on,
Kumotte nani mo mienaieverything’s blurry, I can’t see a thing.
This is my whole lifeThis is my whole life.
Ay look at mirrorAy, I look in the mirror,
Ye tsukereba clearyeah, once I put them in, it’s clear.
Hojorin hazure mawari dashitaThe training wheels are off, I’ve started rolling,
Taiya hirogeru shiyathe spinning tires expanding my field of view.
2 kai kara megaketa medicine otoshitaI dropped the ‘medicine’ I aimed from the second floor,
Gosenfu no ue yeright onto the musical staff.

Orera wa coin laundry de rec shiteruWe’re recording here in a coin laundry,
Tadayou senzai no smellwith the smell of detergent drifting in the air.
Yoru ni nareba nemutta machi deWhen night falls in this sleeping town,
Kansouki yori mic mawashitewe spin the mic more than the dryers,
Akiru made tsukutta hakei no nakainside the waveforms we made until we got sick of it,
Taiyou agaru made divin’divin’ until the sun comes up.
Teka kyou nangen kara dakkeWait, what time does my shift start today?
Tsuukin suru riiman no nagare niAgainst the flow of salarymen commuting,
Sakaratte kairo ni tsuitaI went against the tide on my way home.
Hadakagan de tooku wo mita 1dayThat ‘1day’ I looked into the distance with my naked eyes.

Ireru two me ni renzuI put the lenses in my two eyes,
Nandaka mada toome ni mierusomehow things still look far away.
Chikazuiteku hodo niThe closer I get,
Katachi kawari nagarathe shapes keep changing
Orera wa nani ka miteruwhile we’re looking at something.
Hashi kara hashi made zenbuFrom one end to the other, everything,
Utsushitakute hizundaI wanted to capture it all, but it distorted,
Fureemu no naka de iki shiteruliving inside this frame.
