Unknown Mother Goose/アンノウン・マザーグース English Lyrics
So if I wanted some way to express my love,
just how exactly could I open your eyes?
Words have always seemed simply too much to me
A pure sound is all that you need
So if you wanted to paint yourself the color of love,
how can you when it’s no more than an illusion?
When I’m alone I drown myself in pure sound,
it’s the only way I can feel joy that I’ve found
Expand
A boring life where everything just meets your needs
Seems that’s all it takes to make everyone pleased
Repeating, recycling, they’re singing that same old song
I close my ears and block it out
So if you wanted some way to express your love,
just how exactly could that be your answer?
So if you’re only feigning those closed eyes of yours,
listen to this song and please let them open!
I can only think of that fable before me, that all-unknown story
Holding it close inside, I cry and I dance free, it almost broke me
If I’m allowed to express these emotions within,
these walls holding back my heart are growing incredibly thin,
yet I still swallow it all down as it continues to fall in
Even if the world itself won’t let me in,
just for now, will you let my love song begin?
One more time, I will try to use this voice of mine,
to carry on my unknown feelings left behind
Do you think you just see the me I wish to be?
Do you think you just see the me I wish to be?
The waste keeps throwing and going, piling high until it starts to hurt inside
Even if I could find a way to voice my love,
Even if I could find a way to wish for love,
Ah, I think that meaning could explain my everything
(Pick me up, pick me up, oh yeah yeah)
(Pick me up, pick me up, again)
(Pick me up, pick me up, oh yeah yeah)
(Pick me up, pick me up, again)
Hey, if you were planning on expressing your love,
just who exactly could be inside your heart?
So come on, break down the walls and show them to me,
just who exactly is in this mirror that I see?
So if I found some way to turn into love,
what color do you think I would be?
A lonely heart is something words cannot define,
So I bear it alone, carrying this heart of mine
Flowing so endlessly, these people that look like me,
Creating those empty things, then escaping everything,
into the void-less nothing, so
You’ve also been left behind, nothing left here to find
your tears even look like mine
But now I’ve realized, this place is your design,
protecting those left behind
This hurting inside, I feel it so often, it won’t ever soften
Joy, anger, grief and pleasure- there is no escaping their endless reshaping
If I can ever find that dear joy somewhere in my heart,
it just turns into grief and then starts tearing me apart,
leaving me lost and alone as it all begins to restart-
How can I ever come to love a world like this?
Will I just keep rolling on into the endless abyss?
Hey, you know, I think I’ll take those feelings still unknown,
and sing them out, so as they grow, I’ll let them show
Do you think that right now you’d wish for anything?
Do you think that right now you desire anything?
These strained heartbeats each moment mark the only time that I’m living by
Do you think you could maybe see the real me?
Do you think you could maybe see the real me?
Say, will that light in your eyes lead my way or leave me blind?
*(Well maybe, I guess you can say I’m happy
Time keeps repeating, and spinning me around
Well maybe, does that mean that I’m lucky?
I don’t really see the meaning after all
All it is, in the end, is really just sound
all these meaningless noises, spinning round and round
and these words, and these words, they have no reason!
I guess I’ll never be understood after all)
**(One more time, one more time,
“I will just keep rolling one day into the next,”
and so she said, so she said,
hoping that her voice could give the words a smile
“Yes, I’m ready now, I’m too tired to go on, anyhow”
It’s time for me to just stop breathing)
Hey, if you were planning on screaming your love,
I’ll be right here, ready for you
Although these words may be too much for me,
I use them now, so my dream can proceed
So if I wanted some way to express my love,
I’m using this song to make you open your eyes
Now everyone knows this all-unknown story,
every now and then someone will sing it again
