English[]
In a garage that smells like cab yeah
I was only having dreams that weren't normal
I want to sleep a little longer
On the side of the road where the gravel was dry
I can see two or three pieces of trash lying around
That looks beautiful now, that's all
It didn't matter
Well, it's just that it's twisted
Just without paying the bills
Pretending to be selfish
Were we able to talk well back then?
No matter what color your budding hair is
At dusk, the sun turns red, giving it a deep red color
If you have a heart that won't disappear
A rusty fourth string fret
Can you fool me with a big muff?
Somehow, the more I hate it, the less I can say it
All the poison that isn't words comes
Don't look at me like that
The wind was blowing
No matter what color your hair is
If it snows, it will hide in the dark white
If there's a pain that won't go away
Memories of longing that are covered in soil
Play the octave guitar with that fuzz!
No matter what color your hair is
If the moon were to shine, it would probably be a dull blue
If there is a beautiful distortion
Let me hear it yeah
Like budding
No matter what color your hair is
From this stage on, you'll find it wherever you go
If you have a heart that won't disappear
A rusty fourth string fret
Can you fool me with a big muff?

なんだかキャビの匂いがしてるガレージで yeah
まともじゃない夢ばかり見てた
もう少し眠っていたいな
砂利がカラカラだった道端にある
二、三転がるゴミが見えてる
あれが今は美しく見えた それだけさ
どうでもいい話だった
まぁ 捻くれてるねってだけさ
清算もしないままただ
わがままなふりをして
あの頃ぼくらって上手に話できていたかな
芽吹くような君の髪色が何だろうと
夕暮れになれば陽に染まっていく、茜色だな
消えない心があるならば
サビのついちまった四弦のフレットさ
ビッグマフで誤魔化せるかい?
なんだか嫌になればなるほど言えなくなる
言葉じゃない毒ばかり来てらァ
そんな顔でこっち見ないで
風がカラカラ吹いた
君の髪色が何だろうと
雪が降ったなら昏い白に隠れていくよ
消えない痛みがあるならば
土のついちまった憧憬の思い出さ
そのファズでオクターヴギターを弾け!
君の髪色が何だろうと
月が照らすなら鈍い青が纏うのだろう
美しい歪みがあるならば
聞かせてくれ yeah
芽吹くような
君の髪色が何だろうと
このステージからはどこに行っても見つけるだろう
消えない心があるならば
サビのついちまった四弦のフレットさ
ビッグマフで誤魔化せるかい?
