[Verse 1 – English] Rumble, rumble, in the wardrobe, Something breathes behind the clothes. A little sound becomes a thunder, A shadow grows where nobody knows. I hear the scratching in the darkness, I feel its fingers on the door. Every thought becomes a creature, Every whisper becomes a roar. [Pre-Chorus – Japanese] 暗闇の中で 何かが笑う 心の隅から 影が這い出す 怖いのは怪物じゃない 怖いのは 僕の心 Kurayami no naka de nanika ga warau Kokoro no sumi kara kage ga hai dasu Kowai no wa kaibutsu janai Kowai no wa boku no kokoro [Chorus – English / Japanese] Rumble, rumble — open the door! The monster isn't there anymore. It lived inside the fear you fed, A thousand shadows in your head. Rumble, rumble — don't run away! 恐怖は心が描いた影 Kyoufu wa kokoro ga egaita kage Fear is a shadow your mind has made. Open the door. Look into the night. Sometimes the monster dies in the light. [Verse 2 – English] The hallway bends, the ceiling whispers, The little room becomes a maze. One thought becomes a hundred voices, One spark becomes a forest blaze. “Something's waiting.” “Something's watching.” “Something knows your name.” But fear is clever, fear is hungry, And imagination feeds the flame. [Verse 3 – Japanese] 扉の向こうに 怪物はいない いるのは昨日の 小さな不安 考えすぎた夜が 形を与え 心の影が 牙を持った Tobira no mukou ni kaibutsu wa inai Iru no wa kinou no chiisana fuan Kangaesugita yoru ga katachi o ataete Kokoro no kage ga kiba o motta There is no monster beyond the door, Only yesterday's unfinished fear. A thought given teeth and claws, Because we stared at it too long. [Bridge – Whispered English / Japanese] Rumble... rumble... “What if it's still there?” 開けてみろ。 Akete miro. Open it. “What if I'm afraid?” それでも 開ける。 Soredemo akeru. Even then... open it. “What if the monster comes?” Then let it see you standing. [Final Chorus – English / Japanese] Rumble, rumble — open the door! There is no beast behind the roar. The darkness had a thousand eyes, But all of them were born inside. Rumble, rumble — face what you fear! 恐怖は消えない でも小さくなる Kyoufu wa kienai, demo chiisaku naru Fear may remain, but it becomes small. The mind can build a haunted world, Then tremble underneath its walls. Open the door. Let the darkness stare. You may discover... There was never anything there. [Outro – Japanese / Whisper] 静かな部屋。 Shizuka na heya. 扉が開く。 Tobira ga hiraku. 怪物は消えた。 Kaibutsu wa kieta. そして初めて気づく— 恐怖はいつも、 逃げる場所ではなく、 向き合う場所で小さくなる。 Kyōfu wa itsumo, nigeru basho de wa naku, mukiau basho de chiisaku naru. Fear does not always disappear... Sometimes it simply becomes smaller when you stop running from it. Rumble... ...rumble... ...silence.
