Today, I am listening to Mr.Children’s “Not Found” and I realized how much I really love this song and its melody.
I end up relying on something I can’t see and running away.
You’re quick to beg me to show you something physical.
Things which contradict one another are insisting on justice.
How deep loving is.
To what extent are we supposed to understand each other?
This emotion and anguish can’t become a song or lyrics.
I want to touch you, even if this irritation brings with it pain
even if its painful… (give me) a smile, a smile
I want to be deceived by love’s wonderful lie.
The person I thought I was, is showing me a different face.
I wonder if that has something to do with you ?
How long will it be until I can forget
this regret and hatred from my past.
I want to touch you, resting on the gentle breast
(let me hear) that dubious lullaby one more time just one more time…
The place I discovered yesterday,
I try jumping to it today but
for some reason NOT FOUND today NOT FOUND
Mr.Children – Not Found
