Mad World

If trees could speak
what would they plead for?
Chopped down without mercy,
they lie at death’s door

The god of [???] laughs
at our endless foolishness

*
Tell me, if it's you,
what would you think at a time like this?
Tell me, if it’s me,
to whom should I confess
what I’m thinking at a time like this, in tears?

If the wind could speak
what would it plead for?
Its colours and scent
polluted beyond recognition

The god of [???] laughs
at our immense arrogance

**
Tell me, if it's you,
how would you live in this era?
Tell me, this era honestly makes me sick to my stomach
— where should I voice this opinion?

"It means nothing if I, just one person,
stands up" — thinking like that,
are you waiting for a stranger
to stand up before you?

* repeat
** repeat


Japanese lyrics:
Spoiler:
もし木々が話せたら
何を訴えるだろう
無残に切り倒され
横たわる死の淵で

終わりなき愚かさに
[告げ?柘植?]の神が笑ってる


教えてよねぇ、あなたなら
こんな時何を思う?
教えてよねぇ、私なら
こんな時何を思い
涙しているのかなんて
本当誰に吐けばいい?

もし風が話せたら
何を訴えるだろう
色だとか匂いとか
原形なく汚染され

偉大する傲慢さ
[告げ?柘植?]の神が笑ってる

**
教えてよねぇ、あなたなら
この時代をどう生きる?
教えてよねぇ、私はもう
この時代に心から
吐き気がしてるだとかって
本音はどこにやればいい?

「たった自分一人だけが
立ち上がったとこで意味はない」
そうやって知らぬ誰かが
先に立つのを待つの

Moshi kigi ga hanasetara
Nani wo uttaeru darou
Muzan ni kiritaosare
Yokotawaru shi no fuchi de

Owari naki orokasa ni
Tsuge no kami ga waratteru

Oshiete yo nee, anata nara
Konna toki nani wo omou?
Oshiete yo nee, watashi nara
konna toki nani wo omoi
namida shite iru no ka nante
hontou dare ni hakeba ii?


Moshi kaze ga hanasetara
Nani wo uttaeru darou
Iroda toka nioi toka
Genkei naku osensare

Idai suru goumansa
Tsuge no kami ga waratteru

Oshiete yo nee, anata nara
Kono jidai wo dou ikiru?
Oshiete yo nee, watashi wa mou
Kono jidai ni kokoro kara
Hakike ga shiteru dato katte
Honne wa doko ni yareba ii?


「Tatta jibun hitori dake ga
Tachiagatta toko de imi wanai」
Sou yatte shiranu dareka ga
Saki ni tatsu no wo matsu no

Oshiete yo nee, anata nara
Konna toki nani wo omou?
Oshiete yo nee, watashi nara
konna toki nani wo omoi
namida shite iru no ka nante
hontou dare ni hakeba ii?


Oshiete yo nee, anata nara
Kono jidai wo dou ikiru?
Oshiete yo nee, watashi wa mou
Kono jidai ni kokoro kara
