Blank Map

欲望の数だけ増えていく扉と、遠ざかる答え。拍手や肩書きを積み上げても満たされない夜。誰かの描いた地図を降り、本当に欲しかったものを問い直し、自分の行き先を選び直す歌。 A reflection on how every desire seems to create another door while the answers drift farther away. Even applause and achievements cannot fill the emptiness. Leaving behind a map drawn by others, the song reexamines what truly matters and sets out toward a destination of its own choosing. ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー ーーThe English lyrics are written below the Japanese lyricsーー [Verse 1] 欲しいものを数えるたび 欲しい理由が消えていく In a corner of a sleepless city More unopened doors appear each night 拍手の跡だけ残って 肝心な声は聞こえない Before I knew it I was walking on A map that somebody else had drawn [Pre Chorus] あと何枚鍵を集めれば この夜を選べるのか [Chorus] The more applause I gather The farther the door drifts away Even if I could buy it all The wind would still slip through my hands 欲しかったのは地図じゃない 行き先だった 僕らは何を集めて何を置いてきた [Verse 2] Days lined up with endless plans I checked the boxes and went to sleep 失くしたものを探すより 慣れることを覚えてた I don't know the price of a smile I don't know the price of silence だけど胸の奥で誰かがまだ 呼んでいる [Pre Chorus] あと何回頷いたら その答えを信じられるか [Chorus] The more titles I collect The farther the door drifts away Even standing at the highest place The wind still slips through my hands 欲しかったのは拍手じゃない 閉じない窓だった 僕らは何を集めて何を置いてきた [Bridge] 眠る子どもの寝息 言葉にならないものばかりで 消えそうな夜を支えていた If everything disappeared tomorrow ひとつだけ選べるなら 誰かの地図じゃなく 白地図に線を引く [Final Chorus] The more zeros I add The farther the door drifts away I don't need to buy tomorrow The wind is already here 欲しかったのは自由じゃない 「こっちだ」と決める声だった 僕らは何も持たずに ここまで来たんだ ーーーーーEnglishーーーーー [Verse 1] Every time I count the things I want The reasons fade a little more In a corner of a sleepless city More unopened doors appear each night Only echoes of applause remain The voices that mattered disappear Before I knew it I was walking on A map that somebody else had drawn [Pre Chorus] How many more keys do I have to find Before I can choose this night for myself [Chorus] The more applause I gather The farther the door drifts away Even if I could buy it all The wind would still slip through my hands What I wanted wasn't a map It was somewhere to belong What have we been collecting And what have we left behind? [Verse 2] Days lined up with endless plans I checked the boxes and went to sleep Instead of searching for what I lost I learned how to live without it I don't know the price of a smile I don't know the price of silence But deep inside my chest Someone is still calling my name [Pre Chorus] How many more times do I have to nod Before I believe that answer too? [Chorus] The more titles I collect The farther the door drifts away Even standing at the highest place The wind still slips through my hands What I wanted wasn't applause It was a window that stayed open What have we been collecting And what have we left behind? [Bridge] The sound of a child sleeping All the things that never become words Were holding up the nights That almost disappeared If everything vanished tomorrow And I could choose only one thing I'd leave behind someone else's map And draw my own line across the blank page [Final Chorus] The more zeros I add The farther the door drifts away I don't need to buy tomorrow The wind is already here What I wanted wasn't freedom It was a voice saying, "This is the way" We came this far With nothing in our hands
