Open from Inside

「みんなが言う幸せ」の輪の中で、いつしか自分の声を見失う。でも、「みんな」と呼ばれる誰かは、本当にそこにいるのだろうか。成功も失敗も、誰かが引いた物差しにすぎない。その輪から逃げるのではなく、自分がどこにいるのかを知り、自分の意思で扉を開く。 Inside the circle of the happiness everyone says we should want, we slowly lose the sound of our own voice. But who are these “everyone” people we keep talking about? Do they even really exist? Success and failure are nothing more than measurements made by someone else. The answer isn’t to run from that circle, but to understand where we stand and open the door by our own choice. 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] 一流の輪の中 日当たりのいい部屋 誰もが認める普通の暮らし How high should I climb? 何を手に入れて それが幸せと誰が決めたの 「みんながそうしてる」 その一言だけで 欲しくもないものまで I thought I wanted them [Pre-Chorus] 高い場所へ行けば 幸せになれるのか A bigger life, a better life そう信じていたけど [Chorus] Open from inside 鍵がない扉でも この手でこじ開ければいい 「みんな」って誰なんだろう Who are "they"? 顔を上げて見渡せば 誰かの声じゃなく I hear my own voice みんなと同じでも みんなと違っても If I choose it, that's enough Open from inside 鍵は僕の手の中 [Verse 2] 「もっと上を目指せ」 「普通はこうする」 そんな言葉に背を向けて I thought I had escaped だけど気づいたんだ 逆らうことさえも 誰かが決めた場所から I just found another way out [Pre-Chorus] 壊す壁ばかり 探しているうちに I built another wall 今度は自分で鍵をかけてた [Bridge] 「みんなが言ってる」 But where are they? その「みんな」はどこにいるの 同じ道でも違う道でも I choose my own way 僕が選んだ それだけでいい [Final Chorus] Open from inside 鍵がない扉でも この手でこじ開ければいい 「みんな」って誰なんだろう Who are "they"? What do I want today? 今日の僕が選べばいい 勝ち負けなんて Someone else's game 降りることも続けることも I decide 高い場所にいても 暗い部屋にいても If I choose it, that's enough Open from inside 鍵は僕の手の中 I choose [Outro] Open from inside Who are "they"? The door was never locked ーーーーーEnglishーーーーー [Verse 1] Inside the circle of the chosen A room filled with morning light A life everyone calls perfectly normal How high should I climb? What do I have to gain Before someone says I've made it? "They're all doing it this way" Just those words alone Made me want things I never really wanted I thought I wanted them [Pre-Chorus] Will reaching higher Really make me happy? A bigger life, a better life That's what I used to believe [Chorus] Open from inside Even when there's no key I can break it open with my own hands "Who are they talking about?" Who are "they"? I look around and finally see It's not somebody else's voice I hear my own voice Whether I walk with everyone Or take a different road If I choose it, that's enough Open from inside The key is in my hands [Verse 2] "Keep aiming higher" "This is how you're supposed to live" I turned my back on all those words I thought I had escaped But then I realized Even fighting back Can mean I'm only choosing Another way out they made [Pre-Chorus] I spent so long Looking for walls to tear down I built another wall And locked myself inside [Bridge] "They're all saying it" But where are they? Who exactly are these "they"? Whether I walk the same road Or take a different way I choose my own way I chose it And that's enough [Final Chorus] Open from inside Even when there's no key I can break it open with my own hands "Who are they talking about?" Who are "they"? What do I want today? Today, I'll choose for myself Winning or losing Someone else's game I can walk away or carry on I decide Whether I'm standing somewhere high Or alone in a dark room If I choose it, that's enough Open from inside The key is in my hands I choose [Outro] Open from inside Who are "they"? The door was never locked
