山手線 (Yamanote sen) – Yamanote line
——
As if peeking into a cracked mirror
I don’t really understand myself
To be lacking something important
It must be because I can’t be honest
As I looped around alone on the Yamanote line
Where should I alight to meet love?
I’m lost on the train platforms which all look the same
Even as the doors open, I just look out
My heart unable to take even one step out
Whenever I feel sad, I board a train
Because it’s easy when everyone is indifferent
No place of belonging even when I go to school
Why was I born into this world?
Gazing at the scenery outside with my forehead against the window
Which is the right stop to alight at?
Unawares, youth has boarded the train
Unable to find what I want to do
I run along a predetermined track
How many loops must I go like this before I can become an adult?
Please teach me how to get off of loneliness
At the next station…
Where should I alight to meet love?
I’m lost on the train platforms which all look the same
Even as the doors open, I just look out
My heart unable to take even one step out
Looping around on the Yamanote line
