アフターダーク (After Dark)

[ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATIONの「アフターダーク」歌詞]

背中の影が伸び切るその合間に逃げる
剥がれ落ちた羽にも気付かずに飛ぶ

街角 甘い匂い 流涎
遠く向こうから
何処かで聞いたような鳴き声

夜風が運ぶ淡い希望を乗せて
何処まで行けるか
それを拒むように世界は揺れて全てを奪い去る
夢なら覚めた
だけど僕らはまだ何もしていない
進め

真昼の怠惰を断ち切るような素振りで浮かぶ
生まれ落ちた雲まで見下ろすように飛ぶ

街角 血の匂い 流線
遠く向こうから
何処かで聞いたような泣き声

ドロドロ流れる深く赤い月が現れて振られる采
出鱈目な日々を断ち切りたい
何食わぬ顔で終わらぬように

夜風が運ぶ淡い希望を乗せて
何処まで行けるか
それを拒むように世界は揺れて全てを奪い去る
夢なら覚めた
だけど僕らはまだ何もしていない
進め

Run away before the shadows from by back fully lengthens
Unaware of my clipped wings I fly away

Street corners
Sweet odors
Salivating enviously
From far off beyond
Howls I recognize from somewhere

Riding on faint hope brought in by the night breeze
How far can we go?
As if to repel, the world shakes and snatches all away
I've woken from my dreams
But nothing's been accomplished
Go forth

I float, cutting myself off from mid-day laziness
Flying, looking down on newly born clouds

Street corners
The odor of blood
Zooming missiles
From far off beyond
Crying I recognize from somewhere

The dribbling deep red moon appears and the dice is thrown
Wanna cut loose from these days of nonsense
Don't wanna end it as if nothing's happened

Riding on faint hope brought in by the night breeze
How far can we go?
As if to repel, the world shakes and snatches all away
I've woken from my dreams
But nothing's been accomplished
Go forth
