パラボラ

I drew a parabola 放物線を描いた It fell to the water below それは下の水面へ落ちていった with a sound ひとつの音を立てながら I was the one who threw it それを投げたのは私だった Ripples slowly spread out 波紋はゆっくりと広がり circles growing wide 大きな円になっていった Then little by little そして少しずつ like nothing ever happened 何も起こらなかったかのように silence came back 静けさが戻ってきた That’s when I realized その時、私は気づいた light shines on the moving water 揺れる水面には光が差し込むことを Maybe without what I threw もしかしたら私が投げたものがなければ there would be no sound 音は生まれなかった Maybe no shimmer きらめきもまた would have been born 生まれなかったのかもしれない In a great big wave 大きな波の中で if I raise a small voice 小さな声を上げたとして who will hear me? 誰が聞いてくれるのだろう You might think that そう思うかもしれない But even you だけど君も reach someone 誰かに届いている even if it’s small たとえ小さくても You’re not alone 君はひとりじゃない you’re just lost ただ迷っているだけ in the size of the waves 波の大きさの中で Someone close to you 君の近くの誰かが hears your voice その声を聞いて and finds you 君を見つけてくれる When I see someone reckless 無鉄砲な人を見ると I think I could never be that way 自分にはあんな風にはなれないと思う But I could never laugh at them だけど私はその人たちを笑えない and if someone does もし誰かが笑うのなら let them face it themselves その人自身が向き合えばいい Because reckless people なぜなら無鉄砲な人たちは are the ones who lose themselves 自分を見失う人たちだから And losing yourself そして自分を見失うということは means you have passion 情熱を持っているということだから The road to the goal never ends ゴールへの道は終わらない that’s why we can run like this だからこそ私たちは走り続けられる Honestly 正直に言うと I hope it never comes そのゴールは来ないでほしい Who decided the goal? ゴールを決めたのは誰だろう Is there only one? ひとつしかないのだろうか It should be mine to choose 選ぶのは私自身のはずだ No one can push me 誰にも押されない No one can stop me 誰にも止められない Lifting my feet 足を持ち上げて trying to move ahead 前へ進もうとすること that’s my will それが私の意思 Staying where I am 今いる場所に留まって not moving at all まったく動かないことも that’s my will too それもまた私の意思 Maybe there’s no right or wrong きっと正解も不正解もない As long as it reaches 届くのなら what’s within my hands この手の届く場所へ even a quiet voice 静かな声でも that’s enough それで十分だ The road never ends 道は終わらない that’s why we can run だから私たちは走れる I hope the goal ゴールなんて never comes 来ないでほしい Who decided it? 決めたのは誰だろう Is there only one? ひとつしかないのだろうか It’s mine to choose 選ぶのは私自身だ No one can push me 誰にも押されない No one can stop me 誰にも止められない And still we run それでも私たちは走る because there’s a road そこに道があるから …and surely, that’s what they’ll call そしてきっと、それを人は passion 情熱と呼ぶのだろう [Intro - 8 bars, lo-fi degraded clean guitar riff, heavy tape saturation, vinyl crackle, low-pass filter, narrow mono, slightly detuned, half-time feel, no vocal] [Intro build - bars 5-8, add dusty hi-hat, subtle distortion, still lo-fi, tension rising] [Transition - bar 9, sudden full-frequency switch, stereo opens, double-time feel (~200 BPM), drums slam in] [Verse 1 - female vocal, half-spoken, intimate, now clear and present, fast groove] I drew a parabola It fell to the water below with a sound I was the one who threw it Ripples slowly spread out circles growing wide Then little by little like nothing ever happened silence came back --- [Verse 2 - same groove, more forward push, subtle doubles] That’s when I realized light shines on the moving water Maybe without what I threw there would be no sound Maybe no shimmer would have been born --- [Pre-Chorus - tighter rhythm, building urgency] In a great big wave if I raise a small voice who will hear me? You might think that But even you reach someone even if it’s small --- [Chorus - punchy drums, rhythmic vocal phrasing, soulful energy] You’re not alone you’re just lost in the size of the waves Someone close to you hears your voice and finds you --- [Verse 3 - rhythmic, slightly more aggressive phrasing] When I see someone reckless I think I could never be that way But I could never laugh at them and if someone does let them face it themselves Because reckless people are the ones who lose themselves And losing yourself means you have passion --- [Pre-Chorus - stronger, pushing forward] The road to the goal never ends that’s why we can run like this Honestly I hope it never comes --- [Chorus - bigger, groove + emotional lift] Who decided the goal? Is there only one? It should be mine to choose No one can push me No one can stop me --- [Bridge - drop groove slightly, still tempo held, minimal backing] Lifting my feet trying to move ahead that’s my will Staying where I am not moving at all that’s my will too Maybe there’s no right or wrong --- [Break - brief space, then groove returns quickly] As long as it reaches what’s within my hands even a quiet voice that’s enough --- [Final Chorus - full energy, slight push in tempo feel, layered vocals] The road never ends that’s why we can run I hope the goal never comes Who decided it? Is there only one? It’s mine to choose No one can push me No one can stop me --- [Outro - groove fades, vocal remains, breath + emotion] And still we run because there’s a road …and surely, that’s what they’ll call passion——
