Affordability

普通”という輪郭が少しずつ歪む時代で、誰もが見えない天秤に乗せられている。息苦しさだけが、静かに現実を塗り替えていく。 In an age where the shape of “normal” slowly begins to distort, everyone is weighed on invisible scales. Only the suffocating pressure quietly rewrites reality. 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] 値札つきで並ぶ誰かの暮らし 手を伸ばすたび少し遠くなる 「問題ないよ」と画面は笑う 足りてるはずで息だけ浅い 家賃は上がる理由は出ない 灯りを落とす影だけ軽い 呼吸までただ値段がつく 静かな部屋で音が消えてく [Pre Chorus] 近くに見えた未来ほど 触れた瞬間遠くなる [Chorus] Affordability 届かないのは明日だ 減っていくのは余白だ Affordability 満たしてるのに足りない 息が続かない 選ばれる側でいられるか 答えはどこにもないまま 今日をまた消費して 明日を計算してる [Verse 2] 同じ列に立つ似た顔ばかり “普通”の基準が少しずつズレる 気軽だったもの順に消えてく 選ぶ自由さえ条件になる 光だけ増える不安を隠す 比べるたびに形が削れる 踏み台にしても揺れる足場 上にいるほど落ちる音近い [Pre Chorus] 上手くやるほど怖くなる 終わりの見えないバランス [Chorus] Affordability 持ってるものほど先に 消えていく気がする Affordability 満たしてるはずなのに どこか欠けてる 誰かの下で保たれてる この位置の意味も知らずに 軽く口にした自由が 少しだけ重くなる [Bridge] 遠くで光る夢の残り火 触れられないまま形をなくす 同じ場所から歩いたはずが 気づけば少し傾いてる 常識みたいな顔のまま ズレてくことに気づけない 静かな夜にひとりだけ 落ちる音を聞いている [Chorus] Affordability 買えないのは明日だ 続けるための余白だ Affordability 足りないのは金じゃない 息の置き場所 生き延びることだけ やけに上手くなっていく中で それでも鼓動だけは まだ値札がつかない [fade out] Affordability… あとどれくらい Affordability… Affordability… ーーーーーEnglishーーーーー [Verse 1] Lives on display with price tags attached Every reach makes it drift out of grasp “It’s all fine,” the screen softly smiles I should have enough, but I’m short on breath Rent keeps rising, no reason why Turn off the lights, even shadows feel light Even breathing comes with a cost In a silent room, every sound dissolves [Pre-Chorus] The futures that once felt close enough Slip farther the moment I touch [Chorus] Affordability What I can’t reach is tomorrow What’s fading is space to breathe Affordability I have enough, but it’s never enough I can’t catch my breath Am I still the one who gets chosen? No answer anywhere I look Spending another version of today While calculating tomorrow [Verse 2] Same line, surrounded by similar faces “Normal” keeps shifting out of place The easy things disappear one by one Even freedom comes with conditions now More light just hides the anxiety Every comparison carves me down Even stepping up feels unstable The higher you go, the closer the fall sounds [Pre-Chorus] The better I play it, the more I fear A balance that never reveals its end [Chorus] Affordability The things I have feel the first to go Like they’re already fading out Affordability Even when I should feel full Something’s still missing Held in place beneath someone else Without knowing what this position means The word “freedom” slips out so lightly But suddenly weighs a little more [Bridge] A distant glow, the remains of a dream Losing its shape before I can touch it We started out from the same place Now somehow I’m slightly tilted Wearing the face of something “normal” Blind to the shift underneath Alone in the quiet of night I hear something falling inside me [Chorus] Affordability What I can’t buy is tomorrow The margin I need to go on Affordability What I’m missing isn’t money Just somewhere to place my breath While getting better at surviving In ways that feel almost too smooth Still, this heartbeat alone Hasn’t been given a price yet [Fade Out] Affordability… How much longer? Affordability… Affordability…
