ORACLE Meaning & Lyrics (Kei Sugawara)
Haruno writes about the struggle of being born into a world without answers. One line stands out: ‘I want to be a star for you alone, with this worthless love.’ The lyrics describe a mix of longing and frustration, aiming for self-redemption through love.
Watashi wa unaruI let out a groan,
Tende fujouri ni umareta imiat the sheer absurdity of being born,
Tou beku mo naku saawith no chance to even ask why,
Dattara doushitara yokattan daso tell me, what should I have done?
Anata dake no hoshi ni naritaiI want to be a star just for you,
Kudaranai ai de anata dake no hoshi ni naritaifueled by this silly love, I want to be your star.
Kazoe kirenaiOn the countless,
Dareka no yume dedreams of someone else,
Meshi ga kueru kacan you really survive?
Nee yamenai de sono te de hataku koto deHey, don’t stop striking with those hands,
Oto ni nattelet it become a sound,
Kirai na sekai e tonde iku noizu ni naruturning into noise that flies out to this world I hate.
Watashi wa unaruI let out a groan,
Tende fujouri ni umareta imiat the sheer absurdity of being born,
Tou beku mo naku saawith no chance to even ask why,
Dattara doushitara yokattan daso tell me, what should I have done?
Anata dake no hoshi ni naritaiI want to be a star for you alone,
Kudaranai ai de anata dake no hoshi ni naritaiwith this worthless love, I want to be your star.
Ohoshisama n natteI’ll become a twinkling star,
Baka mitai na kurashi no seblaming it all on this foolish life.
Anata wo kabatte rarenai yaI can’t keep covering for you anymore,
Mushibanda kono ame ga kanashimi no aizuthis rotting rain is a signal of my sorrow.
Zenryou datta shimin wa tokete shimattaThe virtuous citizens have all melted away,
Sore wa atarakushiaand that is ‘ataraxia’.
Baibai shinakya dame na jikanIt’s time we have to say bye-bye,
Nnara yoru be nai watashi wo oitebut if you leave me here with nowhere to turn,
Doko ni ikou to iu nowhere exactly do you intend to go?
Kaette oidePlease, come back home.
Nenne shinakya dame na jikanIt’s time we have to go to sleep,
Nnara watashi no yoko ga aitemasu yoand the spot right next to me is empty,
Koko kara ikanaide ne yakusokuso promise you won’t leave this place,
Watashi wa nakuas I begin to cry.
Tende fujouri ni umareta karaSince I was born into sheer absurdity,
Sentakushi wa nakuI never really had a choice,
Zutto sonna koto itte rannakattaand I couldn’t keep making excuses like that.
Omoikaeseba yurusenai koto darake da gaLooking back, there are so many things I can’t forgive, but…
Ima no toko wa korosanaide yatte mo iifor now, I suppose I can let myself live,
Jibun wo motto aishite mo iiand maybe I’m allowed to love myself a little more.
Daiji na shimei ni natte shimattaIt has become a vital mission for me now,
Watashi wa unaruas I let out a groan.
Tende fujouri ni umareta imiAt the sheer absurdity of being born,
Tou beku mo naku saawith no chance to even ask why,
