Lyrics

Εκ λόγου άλλος εκβαίνει λόγος.​​

水面 (みなも) に映る自分が言った​​
「ああ、わたしは悪いサメです」​​

ずっと恐れていた​​ 赤く光るその目​​
海の底 暗闇に消えていく​​

どうして​​(Your tired eyes)​
泣くのよ​​(Begin to fall)​​
欲しいものなら全部手に入れた​​
教えて​​(Your darkest thoughts)​​
わたしは​​(Unleash them all)​​
望んでいたわたしになれたかな​​
嘘はつかない でも本当じゃない​​
本音は言わない方が楽じゃない?​​
いつかは​​(A time and place)​​
どこかで​​(For darker days)​​
分かり合える時が来るの?​​

Look at this so-called “gem of the sea”​​
Odd & scrawny, don’t you see what I mean?​​
Return to what you know, it ain't much I know.​​
Heh, it shows​

わたしはあなたとは違うの​​ やめてよ​​
決めつけはもう大っ嫌い​​(大っ嫌い​​)
理想の姿じゃなくていいの​​
わたしらしくあれば​ ただわかって欲しいだけよ​​

Heh! 理想通りじゃなきゃ意味なんてない​​
希望も夢すらなくて​​ 辛い 辛い 辛い 辛い​​
あなたらしさ​​ あるのかしら?​​
諦めて楽になろう​​ さあ​​

ずっと追い求めた​​ わたしなりの答え​​
自分には嘘はつきたくないの​​

ごめんね​​(One story ends)​​
今まで​​(Begin again)​​
気付かなかったことがあるんだけど​​
こうして​​(While hand-in-hand)​
あなたが​​(Until the end)​​
いてくれたから今のわたしがいる​​
過去はいらない? そんなことはない​​
未来は見えない方がマシじゃない?​​
ここから​​(No matter where)​​
静かに​​(Watch over me)​​
わたしを見守っていてね​​

So, you think that’s all huh?​​
Just gonna leave like it's nothing?​​
Going without ME?​​
I don’t know what you’re THINKING!!​​
Return to the SEA​​
A shark is ALL you’ll ever BE​​

さよなら​​(Our story ends)​​
ありがとう​​(Begin again)​​
隠していたわたしはもういない​​
さよなら​​(Once hand-in-hand)​​
ありがとう​​(Until the end)​​
全て受け入れて生きていくから​​
海の底はつまらないけど​​
あなたのことは忘れないから​​
いつでも​​(No matter where)​​
どこでも​​(Watch over me)​​
わたしらしく生きていこう​​

Ουδέν κακόν αμιγές καλού.​​

Ek lógou állos ekvaínei lógos

minamo ni utsuru jibun ga itta​
"aa, watashi wa warui same desu"​

zutto osoreteita​
akaku hikaru sono me​
umi no soko kurayami ni kieteiku​

honne wa iwanai hou ga raku janai?​

doko ka de​ (For darker days)​
wakari aeru toki ga kuru no?​

Look at this so-called “gem of the sea”​
Odd & scrawny, don’t you see what I mean?​
Return to what you know, it ain't much I know.​
Heh, it shows​

watashi wa anata to wa chigau no​
yamete yo​
kimetsuke wa mou dai kirai​ (dai kirai​)
risou no sugata janakute ii no​
watashi rashiku areba​
tada wakatte hoshii dake yo​

Heh! risoudoori janakya imi nante nai​
kibou mo yume sura nakute​ tsurai tsurai tsurai tsurai​
anata rashisa​
aru no kashira?​
akiramete raku ni narou​

zutto oimotometa​
watashi nari no kotae​
jibun ni wa uso wa tsukitakunai no​

itekureta kara ima no watashi ga iru​
kako wa iranai? sonna koto wa nai​
mirai wa mienai hou ga mashi janai?​
koko kara​ (No matter where)​
shizuka ni​ (Watch over me)​
watashi o mimamotteite ne​

So, you think that’s all huh?​
Just gonna leave like it's nothing?​
Going without ME?​
I don’t know what you’re THINKING!!​
Return to the SEA​
A shark is ALL you’ll ever BE​

sayonara​ (Our story ends)​
arigatou​ (Begin again)​
kakushiteita watashi wa mou inai​
sayonara​ (Once hand-in-hand)​
arigatou​ (Until the end)​
subete ukeirete ikiteiku kara​
umi no soko wa tsumaranai kedo​
anata no koto wa wasurenai kara​
itsu demo​ (No matter where)​
doko demo​ (Watch over me)​
watashi rashiku ikiteikou​

Oudén kakón amigés kaloú

One word brings another.​

My reflection in the water speaks to me​
She says I am a bad, bad shark​

Her terrifying gaze​
Her glowing red eyes​
Begin to sink into the void at the bottom of the sea​

Why, oh why?​ (Your tired eyes)​
Why do you cry?​ (Begin to fall)​
I got you everything you craved​
Tell me if I​ (Your darkest thoughts)​
Can ever be​ (Unleash them all)​
The me you wanted me to be​
No lies, but also no truths​
A life of no transparency is so much more smooth​
But someday​ (A time and place)​​
Somewhere​ (For darker days)​​
Will we find common ground?​

Look at this so-called “gem of the sea”​
Odd & scrawny, don’t you see what I mean?​
Return to what you know, it ain't much I know.​
Heh, it shows​

I'm not like you​
Stop it​
I hate the way you judge me​ (I hate you​)
I don't need to conform to any ideals​
I just want to be myself​
I just want to be understood​

Heh! If you don't conform, then why were you even born?​
There ain't no hopes, there ain't no dreams​
Only pain, pain, pain, pain​
Be yourself?​
Do you know who you are?​
Give it up and ride the wave​
Just chill​

I've been searching and searching​
And finally found my answer​
I will not lie to myself anymore​

Forgive me​ (One story ends)​
All this time​ (Begin again)​
I've been too blind to see​
I'm only here​ (While hand-in-hand)​
Because of you​ (Until the end)​
Because you've been there by my side​
The past's not important? That's not right​
A life that's unpredictable is so much more bright​
From here on out​ (No matter where)​
Just stay out​ (Watch over me)​
And watch how I live my life​

So, you think that’s all huh?​
Just gonna leave like it's nothing?​
Going without ME?​
I don’t know what you’re THINKING!!​
Return to the SEA​
A shark is ALL you’ll ever BE​

Goodbye​ (Our story ends)​
Thank you​ (Begin again)​
I will hide my heart's desires no more​
Goodbye​ (Once hand-in-hand)​
Thank you​ (Until the end)​
I will accept my everything and live strong​
The deep sea is a boring place​
But I'll keep you in my thoughts forever​
No matter when​ (No matter where)​​
No matter where​ (Watch over me)​​
I'll live life true to myself​

Nothing bad is without something good.​
