Lyrics
TV Version
Oshiete oshiete yo sono shikumi o boku no naka ni dare ga iru no
Kowareta kowareta yo kono sekai de kimi ga warau nani mo miezu ni
Kowareta boku nante sa iki o tomete freeze
Kowaseru kowasenai kurueru kuruenai
Anata o mitsukete yureta
Yuganda sekai ni dandan boku wa sukitōtte mienakunatte
Mitsukenaide boku no koto o mitsumenaide
Dareka ga egaita sekai no naka de anata o kizutsuketaku wa nai yo
Oboeteite boku no koto o
教えて 教えてよ その仕組みを 僕の中に誰がいるの?
壊れた 壊れたよ この世界で 君が笑う 何も見えずに
壊れた僕なんてさ 息を止めてfreeze
壊せる 壊せない 狂える 狂えない
あなたを見つけて 揺れた
歪んだ世界にだんだん僕は透き通って見えなくなって
見つけないで 僕のことを 見つめないで
誰かが描いた世界の中で あなたを傷つけたくはないよ
覚えていて 僕のことを
Tell me; oh tell me, the way it works, who is that inside of me?
Here in this broken-down, broken-down world, you laugh, without seeing a thing
I'm just so damaged, I hold my breath, freeze
Breakable, unbreakable, shakable, unshakable
When I found you, it shook me
In this shook-up, twisted world, I'm gradually growing transparent and vanishing
Don’t look for me; don't look at me
I don't wish to hurt you in a world of someone else's imaging
Remember who I am

UNRAVELLING THE WORLD
Lawatteshimatta kaerarenakatta

Kowaseru kowasenai kurueru kuruenai
Anata o kegasenaiyo yureta
Yuganda sekai ni dandan boku wa sukitōtte mienakunatte
Mitsukenaide boku no koto wo mitsumenaide

教えて 教えてよ その仕組みを 僕の中に誰がいるの?
壊れた 壊れたよ この世界で 君が笑う 何も見えずに
壊れた僕なんてさ 息を止めて
ほどけない もう ほどけないよ 真実さえ freeze
壊せる 壊せない 狂える 狂えない
あなたを見つけて 揺れた
歪んだ世界にだんだん僕は透き通って見えなくなって
見つけないで 僕のことを 見つめないで
誰かが描いた世界の中で あなたを傷つけたくはないよ
覚えていて 僕のことを 鮮やかなまま
無限に広がる孤独が絡まる 無邪気に笑った記憶が刺さって
動けない 動けない 動けない 動けない 動けない 動けないよ
UNRAVELLING THE WORLD
変わってしまった 変えられなかった
2つが絡まる 2人が滅びる
壊せる 壊せない 狂える 狂えない
あなたを汚せないよ 揺れた
歪んだ世界にだんだん僕は透き通って見えなくなって
見つけないで 僕のことを 見つめないで
誰かが仕組んだ孤独な罠に 未来がほどけてしまう前に
思い出して 僕のことを 鮮やかなまま
忘れないで 忘れないで 忘れないで 忘れないで
変わってしまったことにparalyze
変えられないことだらけのparadise
覚えていて 僕のことを
教えて 教えて 僕の中に誰がいるの?
Tell me; oh tell me, the way it works, who is that inside of me?
Here in this broken-down, broken-down world, you laugh, without seeing a thing
I'm just so damaged, I hold my breath
Not even the truth can unravel me, freeze
Breakable, unbreakable, shakable, unshakable
When I found you, it shook me
In this shook-up, twisted world, I'm gradually growing transparent and vanishing
Don’t look for me; don't look at me
I don't wish to hurt you in a world of someone else's imaging
Remember who I am, my full, vivid self
Entangled in the loneliness that fans out endlessly, stung by the memory of smiling so innocently,
I can't move, I can't move, I can't move, I can't move, I can't move, I can't move!
UNRAVELLING THE WORLD
I've completely changed, I couldn't change back
The two entwine, the couple perishes
Breakable, unbreakable, shakable, unshakable
I won't defile you!
In this shook-up, twisted world, I'm gradually growing transparent and vanishing
Don’t look for me; don't look at me
Before the future comes completely undone, caught in a pit of solitude somebody set for me,
Think back on who I am, my full, vivid self
Don't forget me, don't forget me, don't forget me, don't forget me
The change over me has me paralyzed,
In an immutable object paradise,
Remember who I am
Tell me, tell me, is there someone inside of me?
