One Voice Meaning & Lyrics (Rokudenashi)

MIMI describes writing in old notebook margins, asking when answers will come. The line ‘I’ll say goodbye for now to one more piece of love’ captures the song’s emotional core. Tiny words sting like needles in the tender verses, showing the pain of letting go.

続く 時間の欠片I’m just gathering the fragments of time,
を集めている ただthat keep on passing by.
過ぎるノートの余白に書くI write in the margins of my old notebooks,
「答えは いつ」“When will I find the answer?”
ほんのり小さな感情へTo these faint, tiny emotions,
愛をひとつまたねまたねI’ll say “goodbye for now” to one more piece of love.
夜に咲く温度と灯るまでUntil they light up with the warmth that blooms at night,
呼吸 ひとつ生きる生きるI’ll take a single breath and keep on living.
優しい日々の横で泣かぬようにSo I don’t cry beside these gentle days,
泣かぬようにso I don’t cry,
ちっちゃな言葉チクチクしたのthose tiny words stung me like needles.
キリが無いけどさThere’s no end to it, though.
それを忘れたフリ疲れたよI’m tired of pretending I’ve forgotten it all.
夜よ抱きしめてOh night, please hold me close.
今日だって 笑う笑うEven today, I keep smiling and smiling,
泣いちゃう僕を隠すために笑うI smile just to hide the me that’s about to cry.
言えないことは言えないで良いIf I could believe it’s okay to leave things unsaid,
って思えたら軽くなれるのかなI wonder if I’d feel a little lighter?
愛をひとつまたねまたねI’ll say “goodbye for now” to one more piece of love.
夜に咲く温度と灯るまでUntil they light up with the warmth that blooms at night.
呼吸ひとつ生きる生きるI’ll take a single breath and keep on living.
優しい日々の横で泣かぬようにSo I don’t cry beside these gentle days.
愛をひとつまたねまたねI’ll say “goodbye for now” to one more piece of love.
愛をひとつまたねまたねI’ll say “goodbye for now” to one more piece of love.
優しい日々の横で笑うようにSo I can smile beside these gentle days,
吐き出す気持ちは簡単でletting my feelings out is the easy part.
でも生きるの難易度高すぎてBut living’s just way too hard for me,
どうにも解けない問いだらけit’s full of questions I just can’t solve.
さっぱりきっかり前向いてI don’t have to face forward perfectly or anything,
なんてしなくて良いから抱きしめてso just hold me close instead.
愛をひとつまたねまたねI’ll say “goodbye for now” to one more piece of love.
