<pre>SLOW MOTION things change slowly
<pre>Slow-motion things just gradually go on changing


Dropped by the store, bought a bento box
Having dropped by the convenience store to grab a bento
Went back home and watched a quiz show
I was in my room just watching TV
I knew the answer: Compromise
Having come to compromise as for the answer to the question
But I answered "Dreams" and stared at the screen
I'll keep playing the fool who answers with wild fantasies


Got a fever, took some medicine
Having broken out in a fever and gulped down some medicine
Got under the covers, closed my eyes
I was sleeping tucked into my futon
Saw your silly face
Your stupid face suddenly popped into my head
I don't wanna die, I thought in a daze
Stuck in a feverish daze thinking "I'm not ready to die just yet."


The smug-faced know-it-all in their teens
Wearing that smug, self-satisfied face in your teens
Who learned humility in their twenties
Learning the meaning of shame and embarrassment in your 20s
Who found a niche in their thirties
Finaly getting the full measure of yourself in your 30s
They're all the same person
That's all part and parcel of one's human experience


Lying awake sweating, I changed my pajamas
Breaking into a sweating and changing my pajamas,
The clock hands point to midnight
The clock strikes 12
This song's been going for a minute or so
This song has been going for about a minute,
How many years have you been alive?
How long has it been since you were born?


SLOW MOTION from infancy to old age
Slow-motion from cradle to the grave
CONDITION from manic to depressed
Stuck with a wildly fluctuating manic-depressive condition
Love that isn't tenacious or torpid that's what I want to give, and yet
Wanting to make at least a single ideal romantic connection,
COMMUNICATION, try too hard and you'll fall flat
But trying too hard at that whole communication thing is bound to backfire
AUDITION, even discerning eyes go blind
Continually auditioning all corners while that aesthetic sense continues to dull with age
A life of humility is nothing unusual
You're not the only one with a life full of regrets
I'll be okay
It'll be okay


SLOW MOTION...
Slow-motion...


Slowly comes to an end</pre>
Everything just slowly moving towards that final curtain drop</pre>
