Who’s next?

ーーThe English lyrics are written below the Japanese lyricsーー [Intro] 静かに削られ名前は残らない 「運が悪かった」誰の喉が鳴った？ [Verse 1] 目立つ椅子がいつの間にか空席 会議室咳払いで終わる作戦 毎月二人消えるログイン パスワードより軽いライフライン 荷物は増えた肩だけが軋む 筋肉落ちたまま走らされるリズム 「仕方ない」並ぶ薄い言葉 実際は誰を差し出すかの相談 数字は祈り人は変数 赤ペン一つで変わる命数 責任の影は霧に溶け 残るのは疲れた目と沈黙だけ [Pre Chorus] 聞こえるか空調より小さい声 綺麗な言葉で腐りかけを包んでる [Chorus] Who’s next? Who’s next? 笑顔の奥で指が動く Who’s next? Who’s next? 安全圏は消えていった ホワイトな画面ブラックな鼓動 Big name, no soul 綺麗な会社で 今日も誰かが削られてく [Verse 2] 急に聞かれる未来の話 昨日まで無かった希望の棚卸し 再構築？それとも延命？ 椅子の脚一本ずつ減ってく経営 軽い愛想に軽い仕事 重い案件年季に落とす 急げの声だけ上から降る 汗の値段は誰も見てないrule 心配してるって肩を叩き 振り返る前に別フロアへ退避 ガラス越しきらつく案件 光が強いほど影は濃くなる [Bridge] 長くいた背中は静かに外へ 「ありがとう」ってマニュアルみたいな声で 制服も変わり場所も変わり 誇りの置き場だけ 見つからないまま [Chorus] Who’s next? Who’s next? 貼り替えられるネーム Who’s next? Who’s next? 今日の同僚は明日の噂 整ったデザイン空洞の中身 Big name, no soul それでも回る ログアウトできない現実 [Outro] この場所に意味はあるのか 答える前にまた誰かが消えた ーーーーーEnglishーーーーー [Intro] Quietly shaved away No names left behind “Just bad luck,” they say Whose throat just swallowed that line? [Verse 1] That chair everyone noticed Empty before we blinked Plans die with a cough in the boardroom Two logins vanish every month A lifeline lighter than passwords Shoulders creak under growing bags Muscles fading, still told to run “Can’t be helped” — thin words in a line But really, it’s just Who we’re willing to give up this time Numbers pray, people turn variables One red pen rewrites the count Responsibility fades into fog All that’s left — tired eyes and silence [Pre Chorus] Can you hear it? Smaller than the air-conditioning hum Rotting things wrapped neatly In beautiful words [Chorus] Who’s next? Who’s next? Fingers move behind the smiles Who’s next? Who’s next? There’s no safe side anymore White screens, black heartbeats Big name, no soul In a spotless company Someone’s shaved away again today [Verse 2] Suddenly they ask about your future Inventorying hope that didn’t exist yesterday Is it rebuilding, or just life support? Management saws off chair legs, one by one Light smiles, lightweight tasks Heavy loads dumped on the seasoned backs Only “Hurry up” rains from above No one checks the price of sweat — just rules “I’m worried about you,” a hand on the shoulder Gone to another floor before you turn around Projects glitter behind glass The brighter the light, the deeper the shadow [Bridge] A back that stayed too long Quietly exits “Thank you,” In a voice straight from the manual Uniforms change Places change Only the place for pride Never gets found [Chorus] Who’s next? Who’s next? Names peeled and replaced Who’s next? Who’s next? Today’s coworker is tomorrow’s rumor Perfect design Hollow inside Big name, no soul Still, it spins A reality you can’t log out of [Outro] Does this place Mean anything at all? Before an answer forms Someone disappears again
