Lyrics[]

待ち合わせは2時間前で
此処に独り　それが答えでしょ

街ゆく人　流れる雲
僕のことを嘲笑ってた

それは簡単で　とても困難で
認めることで前に進めるのに
信じられなくて　信じたくなくて
君の中できっと僕は道化師なんでしょ

回って　回って　回り疲れて
息が　息が切れたの
そう　これが悲しい僕の末路だ
君に辿り着けないままで

回って　回って　回り疲れて
回って　回って　回り疲れて
息が　息が　息が止まるの
息が　息が　息が止まるの

変わって　変わって　変わってゆくのが
怖い　怖いだけなの
もう、やめた　ここで君を待つのは
僕が壊れてしまうだけだ

回って　回って　回り疲れて
息が　息が止まるの
そう　僕は君が望むピエロだ
君が思うままに　操ってよ

machiawase wa nijikan mae de
koko ni hitori sore ga kotae desho

machi yuku hito nagareru kumo
boku no koto o azawaratteta

sore wa kantan de totemo konnan de
mitomeru koto de mae ni susumeru no ni
shinjirarenakute shinjitakunakute
kimi no naka de kitto boku wa doukeshi nan desho

mawatte mawatte mawari tsukarete
iki ga iki ga kireta no
sou, kore ga kanashii boku no matsuro da
kimi ni tadoritsukenai mama de

mawatte mawatte mawari tsukarete
mawatte mawatte mawari tsukarete

kawatte kawatte kawatte yuku no ga

boku ga kowarete shimau dake da

mawatte mawatte mawari tsukarete
iki ga iki ga tomaru no
sou, boku wa kimi ga nozomu PIERROT da
kimi ga omou mama ni ayatsutte yo

We were supposed to meet two hours agos
Now here I am alone, I guess I have my answer

The people on the street, the drifting clouds
They all mocked me

It's easy, but still so hard
If I accepted it, I could move forward
But I can't believe it, and I don't want to
Inside, you must think I'm just a clown

Round and round, I'm tired of going round
I'm-- I'm out of breath
It's sad, but this is how it ends for me
Forever unable to reach you

Round and round, I'm tired of going round
Round and round, I'm tired of going round
My breath, my breath, my breath stops
My breath, my breath, my breath stops

Changing, changing, everything changing
It frightens me, how it frightens me
I'm through waiting here for you
It will only break me

Round and round, I'm tired of going round
My breath, my breath stops
I'm the clown you want me to be
Wind me up however you please

English translation by Kajiya Productions and 8-4

約好的時間已過了2小時
我還孤獨的佇立在此　這大概就是答案吧？

來往的路人　流動的雲朵
都在嘲笑著我

既簡單　又困難
應該接受事實然後向前邁進
但卻無法相信　也不願相信
在你心中　我一定是個小丑吧

轉呀　轉呀　轉到疲憊了
呼吸　呼吸到無法呼吸
對，這就是我悲慘的下場
已經到不了你身邊

轉呀　轉呀　轉到疲憊了
轉呀　轉呀　轉到疲憊了
呼吸　呼吸　無法呼吸
呼吸　呼吸　無法呼吸

改變　改變　只能慢慢改變
害怕　只感到害怕
夠了，不行了　在這裡等待著你的是
已經崩潰了的我

轉呀　轉呀　轉到疲憊了
呼吸　呼吸到無法呼吸
對，我就是你期望的小丑
跟你所想的一樣　被操弄著
