Canary Kept Singing

離れて初めて気づいた。あの場所には、止まることを許されない時間と、笑顔で塗り固められた静かな苦しさがあった。それでも歌い続けたカナリアは、誰かのためではなく、自分の明日をつなぐために歌っていた。あの場所で懸命に生きた人たちへ捧げる、静かな鎮魂歌。 Only after leaving did I finally see the truth. It was a place where no one was allowed to stop, where quiet suffering hid behind practiced smiles. Yet the canary kept singing—not for anyone else, but simply to make it through another day. A quiet elegy for everyone who gave everything just to survive that place. 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] ガラス越し 笑い声 昼の光に溶けていく "Let's go with this." あのひと言で何度 夜を越えたんだろう 頷くたびに時は進み 誰も立ち止まれなかった 閉じた扉の向こう側で 笑う理由も知らないまま [Pre Chorus] あの頃の僕は笑うことでしか I couldn't make it through [Chorus] Only laughter fills the room 同じ窓辺を見つめていた 夢なんて Thought I'd left behind Still singing with a smile Can a canary Ever be happy If it never stops singing? [Verse 2] 暮れていく街を窓が映す Coffee had gone cold デスクの上に置いた答えは 誰かのための答えだった 帰り道だけ風が違った Still chasing tomorrow 振り返ることもできないまま 今日だけを追いかけていた [Pre Chorus 2] 責めることなど Nothing to regret あれが僕の生き方だった [Chorus] Only laughter fills the room I never chose this endless rhythm 守るものが増えていくたび Still singing with a smile Can a canary Ever be happy If it never stops singing? [Bridge] 歌うことしか知らなかった 笑うことで今日を越えた あの日の僕はきっと今より More alive than I knew [Last Chorus] Laughter through the glass Now I finally understand 笑っていたのは Because life was easy... じゃなかった To keep moving on 「これでいこう」 Those words carried me 誰かを支え 自分も支えてた The Canary Kept Singing Happy after all... あの日の僕も生きていた Maybe...I was. ーーーーーEnglishーーーーー [Verse 1] Laughter through the glass Melting into afternoon light "Let's go with this." How many nights Did those words carry me through? Every nod moved time ahead No one could stop and stay Beyond those closing doors We never asked why we smiled [Pre Chorus] Back then, all I knew was how to smile I couldn't make it through [Chorus] Only laughter fills the room We stared outside the very same window Dreams I thought I'd left behind Still singing with a smile Can a canary Ever be happy If it never stops singing? [Verse 2] The window caught the fading city lights Coffee had gone cold The answers on my desk Were never meant for me alone Only the wind felt different on the way home Still chasing tomorrow Never finding time to turn around Always running after today [Pre Chorus 2] There's nothing Nothing to regret That was simply how I lived [Chorus] Only laughter fills the room I never chose this endless rhythm The more I had to protect Still singing with a smile Can a canary Ever be happy If it never stops singing? [Bridge] Singing was the only thing I knew A smile got me through another day The person I was back then More alive than I knew [Last Chorus] Laughter through the glass Now I finally understand I wasn't smiling Because life was easy... Not at all I smiled To keep moving on "We'll go with this." Those words carried me Holding someone else together While they held me, too The Canary Kept Singing Happy after all... The one I was back then Was truly living Maybe...I was.
