Filament Lyrics Translation – tone Soundtrack
Uru describes the ache of saying goodbye in the line, ‘The road feels so lonely after I’ve waved goodbye.’ The musician paints a scene of flickering streetlights and a cold hand finding warmth in another’s touch. The lyrics hold onto both weakness and strength, wrapped in quiet hope.
Te o futta ato no michi ga sabishiku naru no waThe road feels so lonely after I’ve waved goodbye,
Kimi no senaka ga tooku natte iku hodoAs your back fades further into the distance,
Mata hitorikiri no sekai ni modotte iku karaBecause I’m returning to a world where I’m all alone again.
Hontou wa yowakute, nante nasakenai karaTruth is, I’m weak and so pathetic,
Ienai kedo demo kimi wa kittoSo I can’t say it, but I’m sure that you’ve
Sonna watashi no koto zuibun mae kara shitteta kanaProbably known about that side of me for quite some time.
Tsuite wa kieru gaitou o mitetaI watched the streetlights flickering on and off,
Kokoromotonai akari no nakaIn the midst of that uncertain glow,
Ikiba o nakushita tsumetai migite oMy cold right hand had nowhere to go until
Nigitte kureta kimi no te ga yasashikattaYour hand reached out and held it so gently.
Juunengo no watashi wa chanto waraeteru kanaI wonder if I’ll be smiling ten years from now?
Kyou made nagashita namida no bun moFor all the tears I’ve shed up until today,
Nuguikirenai yowasa mo kimi ga kureta tsuyosa moI’ll keep the weakness I can’t erase and the strength you gave,
Mune no oku dakishimete iyouHeld tightly deep inside my chest.
“Boku mo onaji da yo” hajimete kimi ga koboshita“It’s the same for me,” you whispered for the first time,
Takusan no koukai ya itami gaAnd so many regrets and all your pain
Chiisana shindou to tomo ni watashi no kata ni todoitaReached my shoulder with just a slight tremor.
Machi de surechigau hitotachi moThe people passing by in the city,
Ima tonari ni ite kureru kimi moAnd you, who’s right here by my side,
Norikoete kita kurushimi ya kizuato oI wonder if everyone’s living while clutching
Ryoute ni kakaenagara ikite iru no kanaThe pain and the scars they’ve overcome in their hands.
Marui senaka o futatsu narabeta yoru no sora niBeneath the night sky where our hunched backs were lined up,
Yubi de chiisana yume o egaite miruI try drawing a small dream with my finger,
Atsuku natte iku te o kimi ni nigirikaeshiteSqueezing back your hand as it grows warmer
Mou ichido chiisaku negattaWhile I make a small wish once again.
TsumazukinagaraStumbling along,
TachidomarinagaraPausing every now and then,
Yukkuri to aruite ikuWe’ll keep walking slowly.
Juunen mae ni koko de miageta yoru no sora oWhile remembering the night sky we looked up at
Omoidashinagara waraouRight here ten years ago, let’s share a laugh.
“Taimu mashiin ga attara oshiete agetai yo” to“If I had a time machine, I’d want to tell you,”
Mata kimi to kono basho de waratteruAs I’m laughing with you in this place once more,
Mune no oku dakishimete iyouI’ll keep holding this feeling deep inside my heart.
