Verse 1

Listen, child, before you draw the blade

子よ　剣を抜く前に

Ask yourself where you stand tonight

まず　己の立ち方を問え

They tell me “fight harder, scream louder”

叫べと言われ　急げと言われ

But my heart says “stay, align”

心は静かに　位置を正せと言う

Pre-Chorus

Don’t copy the shape you see in light

形を真似るな

Hear the breath beneath the form

形の奥に沈む

Why am I breathing, who am I for

呼吸の理由を　聴け

Chorus

I don’t grab the river, I feel the shore

川は掴めない

But my feet remember where not to fall

岸を知る足は　流されない

I fight the absurd, the unfair, the wrong

理不尽　不条理　不合理

Not with rage, but staying strong

怒りじゃない　在り方で

My voice doesn’t shout, it reaches inside

叫ばぬ声が　心に届く

That’s how I survive

それが　私の戦い

Verse 2

Like water resting in its cup

水が器に収まるように

No war inside, no tearing up

正しい型は争わず

Just being where I belong

ただ　在るべき場所に在る

They push me fast, they twist the rules

世界は急かし　歪める

But balance is my quiet tool

それでも私は　崩れない

Pre-Chorus 2

Hold nothing tight, let motion pass

留めようとするな

Stillness lives in practiced stance

留めねど留る

It’s not magic, it’s the path I chose

ふしぎじゃない　選んだ道

Chorus

I don’t grab the river, I feel the shore

川は掴めない

But my feet remember where not to fall

岸を知る足は　流されない

I fight the absurd, the unfair, the wrong

理不尽　不条理　不合理

Not with rage, but staying strong

怒りじゃない　在り方で

My voice doesn’t shout, it reaches inside

叫ばぬ声が　心に届く

That’s how I survive

それが　私の戦い

Bridge

In a world that breaks its own design

壊れた世界の中で

I tune my breath, I draw the line

私は呼吸を整える

No justice here, no perfect law

正義も完全もない

So I become my own north star

だから私は　私の北極星

Final Chorus

I won’t grab the river, I know the shore

掴まない　知っている

Where I stand, what I’m fighting for

立つ場所と　戦う理由

Against the absurd, the unfair, the wrong

理不尽　不条理　不合理

I stay aligned, I stay strong

私は　崩れない

My silent voice, deep and true

静かな声が　届く

That’s how I fight

それが　私の戦い

That’s how I live

それが　私の生き方
