Hiragana / Katana / Kanji
世界から 空がなくなってしまえばいいと思った
そうしたら 僕はもうあの空を駆け巡る鳥たちを羨むことはないんだ
空を飛んだってしょうがない
僕は 鳥籠の中でいつもより大きな声で泣いた
瞼 閉じてしまえば 見えなくなるって
わかってはいるけど勇気がなかった
天井の染み眺めてると 何かしら意味あるように
思えてしまう 一人の真夜中
どうせ醒めるならば どんな素晴らしい夢だって見たくないんだ
現実に戻るのがきっと怖くなるから
それならいっそ寝返りを繰り返して どうにか諦めた方がいい
ベッドからもう起きようか
どうして頑張らなきゃいけないんだ？
Oh...
自由はどこにある？ そうだ いつだって目の前にあるんだ
もう 何も邪魔するものない 好きなことやればいい
自分が勝手に縛られて ルールや常識の外へ出ないだけ
存在などしてない 想像のCage
Wow...
もしも 鳥籠の窓 開けてしまったら
逃げ出した鳥はどこへと飛んで行く？
空の向こうに行きたい場所 叶えたい願いや夢が
あると言うなら それもいいけど…
僕が作り上げたただの思い込みを信じてただけなのかな
ここを出られないなんて被害者意識だった
見えない籠に閉じ込められている方が都合がよかったんだろう？
カーテンをまた閉めようか
日差しが昨日よりも眩しかった
Oh...
世界は広いんだ きっと まだ知らない何かがあるはず
そう探してみる価値はあるよ ここから飛び出そう
誰にも僕を止められない 強い風が遠くから吹くように…
自分を試したくて 壊されたCage
人はみな そこから動かないけど
誰も何も束縛してないんだ
傷つく可能性 不安だけで諦めている
籠の鳥よ
Oh...
どこかに飛びたいよ だって ほら背中に翼があることに
気づいてしまったんだ
ここにいてじっとしてた方が
安全だって言われたって羽ばたいてみたい
Wow...
今すぐ
自由はどこにある？ そうだ いつだって目の前にあるんだ
もう 何も邪魔するものない 好きなことやればいい
自分が勝手に縛られて ルールや常識の外へ出ないだけ
存在などしてない 想像のCage
Wow...
Wow...
English Translation
I wished the sky would disappear from this world
Then I wouldn't have to envy those birds soaring free anymore
What's the point of flying anyway?
So I stayed inside this cage, crying louder than ever before
I know if I just close my eyes, I won't have to see
But I never had the courage to do that
Staring at the stains on the ceiling, somehow, they start to feel like they hold a meaning
It makes me think, here, alone in the middle of the night
If I have to wake up, then I don't want to dream—not even the most beautiful dream
Because going back to reality will only make it harder
So maybe it's better to keep turning over in bed trying to let go of it all
Should I just get up already?
Why does trying even matter?
Oh...
Where is freedom? That's right—it's always been right in front of me
Nothing stands in the way anymore, I can do whatever I want
But it was me, all along, tying myself down, refusing to step outside the rules, outside the norm
The only thing that ever trapped me was this imaginary cage
Wow...
If I opened the window of this cage,
Where would the bird inside go?
Is there really a place beyond the sky, a dream to chase, a wish to fulfill?
If so... then maybe that's okay too
Was I just clinging to a lie I built for myself?
Believing I could never leave—was it just a victim's mindset?
Maybe being trapped in an invisible cage was just the easy way out
Should I close the curtains again?
The sunlight felt brighter than yesterday
Oh...
The world is vast—there must be something out there that I still don't know
And maybe it's worth searching for, so I'll break free from here.
No one can stop me now, like the strong wind blowing in from the distance...
I wanted to test my own strength, and so, the cage was broken
People stay in place, never moving forward
Even though no one is holding them back
Just the fear of getting hurt giving up before they even try
Like birds in a cage
Oh...
I want to fly somewhere, because now, I've finally realized
There are wings on my back
Even if they tell me
It's safer to stay right here, I want to spread them wide.
Wow...
Right now
Where is freedom? That's right—it's always been right in front of me
Nothing stands in the way anymore, I can do whatever I want
But it was me, all along, tying myself down, refusing to step outside the rules, outside the norm
The only thing that ever trapped me was this imaginary cage
Wow...
Wow...
