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

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

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?
