Instant empathy

ーーThe English lyrics are written below the Japanese lyricsーー [Verse 1] 会議終わりの沈黙に ポチッとシグナル飛び交う 「niceです」「Good jobです」 Do your words burn with any feeling? [Pre-Chorus] 誰もが気を遣って 誉めることがマナーになった 本音はどこ？ 薄っぺらい多様性に 疑問も持たずに [Chorus] Instant empathy すれ違うハートビート 見えない感情 既読のエビデンス 笑顔のスタンプ ただ貼っただけ 本当は何も伝えてないって 知ってるよね？ [Verse 2] 「もらえると嬉しい？」 その空気がちょっと重たくて "Thanks for your work" って打ちながら 心の中じゃ「これで満足？」って呟いてた [Pre-Chorus] 名前だけのバッジが 僕のどこを称えてるの？ 一秒で送る「称賛」は 一秒で忘れられてく [Chorus] Instant empathy 無難なコミュニケーション 深さはオプション 軽さが正義？ ホントの「ありがとう」 言えるタイミングは もう誰にも、わからなくなってた [Bridge] だけど ふと君が 目を見てくれて「助かったよ」って たったそれだけ だけど確かに 僕は救われたんだ Yeah... a button just isn't enough, is it? [Chorus] Instant empathy いらない瞬間もある 言葉でくれた 感謝の気持ち スタンプじゃ測れない ぬくもりがあるから 僕ら まだ 人間でいられるんだ ーーーーーEnglishーーーーー [Verse 1] In the silence after the meeting ends, A click sends signals flying through the air “Nice job,” “Well done,” they say But do your words carry any real feeling? [Pre-Chorus] Everyone’s careful with their words Praising has become just another formality Where are the true thoughts? Blindly accepting shallow diversity Without even questioning it [Chorus] Instant empathy Hearts beating out of sync Emotions unseen, only read receipts as proof Smiley stamps pasted on the screen But they convey nothing at all You know that, right? [Verse 2] “Would you be happy to receive this?” The atmosphere feels a bit heavy Typing “Thanks for your work” While muttering inside, “Is this enough for you?” [Pre-Chorus] A badge with just my name What part of me does it truly praise? Praise sent in a second Is forgotten just as quickly [Chorus] Instant empathy Safe and bland communication Depth is optional; lightness is the norm The right moment to say a genuine “thank you” Has become something no one can find anymore [Bridge] But then, you looked me in the eyes And said, “You really helped me out” Just that, nothing more But it was enough I felt truly saved Yeah... a button just isn't enough, is it? [Chorus] Instant empathy Sometimes, it's not what we need Words of gratitude spoken aloud Carry a warmth that stamps can't measure It's because of that warmth That we can still feel human
