[Intro] 誰が花瓶(かびん)を割(わ)ったのか みんな知っていたけど 誰も言わなかった [Verse1] 先生に聞かれて 正直に名前を出した子が 責められた 空気を壊したって [Verse2] 悪いのは誰か、じゃない 誰とも言わないのにルールが 最初から決まっていた 「黙ってろ」っていうルールが [pre-Chorus] 道徳(どうとく)は、正しさじゃない 秩序のための演技だ 守るべきは人じゃなくて 空気だった [Chorus1] 倫理(りんり)は、それに黙って耐えてた 誰にも言わないまま ただ奥歯を噛み締めて その場をやりすごした [Solo] [Bridge] その子はそっと溢(こぼ)した 「だって―――言ってもわからないよ」 たぶんそれは、 わかろうとしない人たちを ずっと見てきた言葉だ [Chorus2] これは怒りじゃない ただの、あきらめだ でも、 誰かが見つけてしまうように ここに、落としておく [Outro – Humming] (♪〜〜〜〜〜〜) Title: Metaphysically Speaking, It's a Ripple – On the Thing Called Peer Pressure [Intro] Who broke the vase? Everyone knew— but no one said a word. [Verse 1] When the teacher asked, the one who answered truthfully was blamed— for breaking the silence, not the vase. [Verse 2] It wasn't about who's at fault. There were rules—unspoken— laid out from the start: "Keep quiet." That was the rule. [Pre-Chorus] Morality isn't about what's right. It's just performance for the sake of order. What we were told to protect wasn’t people—it was the atmosphere. [Chorus 1] Ethics stayed silent and endured. No one said a thing. Just clenched teeth and waited for the moment to pass. [Solo] [Bridge] The child whispered: “Because—even if I say it, no one will understand.” And maybe— those were words born from watching people who never even tried to understand. [Chorus 2] This isn’t anger. It’s just... resignation. But still, I’ll leave it here, so someone might stumble upon it. [Outro – Humming] (♪~~~~~)
