どう思われてるかなんてこコトが 微妙に怖いと思った こんな風に時を無駄にして 水溜りを蹴散らしてく 空は今より澄み渡って 僕は夢の後 君の足跡ただ背負って 場所に慣れてゆく 共鳴できる仲間を 置き忘れたり 明日越える橋の予感に 惑わされてる 憂鬱さをとり乱し 明日も疲れ顔です やるべきことに追い立てられ 休むことも無く ありきたりの毎日から 横にそれている こうありたいと願った 理想の壁に 思い切り叩きつけた 自分があった 何も知らないフリをして 明日は自由が道へ

どう思われるかなんて事が ビミョーに怖いと思った こんな風に時を無駄にして 水たまりを蹴散らしてく 空は今より澄み渡って ボクは夢の跡 君の足跡ただ背負って 場所に慣れてゆく ここに名を残すなんて事は 期待もしてない事だった 誰の記憶に残らずとも あるがままにと願った やるべき事に追いたてられ 休む事もなく ありきたりの毎日から 横にそれている 共鳴できる仲間を 置き忘れたり 明日越える橋の予感に 惑わされてる 憂鬱さを取り乱し 明日も疲れ顔です 明日を夢見てる君の瞳に ボクはどう映る かすみゆくボクのこの手で 何一つつかめず こうありたいと願った 理想の壁に 思いきりたたきつけた 自分があった 何も知らないふりをして 明日も自由が道へ 正しいと信じた ボクの行くべき道 認めたくなかった 自分の為に 歩かずにはいられなく 生きせかされる 逃げることは許されず 進むばかりで 戸惑いを見透かされても ボクらは笑い顔です |

Song Production Information
Hideyuki Ono
The chorus of this song is a cover of Elgar's "Pomp and Circumstance", which is one of my favorite songs. The melody line is beautiful. I have always wanted to cover a classical song in a punk style, with solid bass and guitar, solid horns, and vocals on top of all that. The singing melody is a difficult line with a wide range of notes, but Ai Suzuki sang it skillfully with great sharpness.
Musician's Room 3
Did you read the Seiron interview in the Column section? If you haven't, please read it. The chorus is the march song "Pomp and Circumstance" / Elgar. Actually, "Pomp and Circumstance" has been used in various commercials. But it doesn't have a punk version anywhere else. Until now. The original song is relaxing and the sound of the orchestra is very pleasant.
Video Production Information
None.
