Original Lyrics: Ghost City Tokyo Lyrics (Romanized)

The lights of the brilliant shining city
Shine down on me in stark contrast
They mix with the neon colours changing and
Escaping from the spaces between those buildings
I trade my time and this world
And sink into the night


I make my way home on the last train
And the reflection I see in the glass windows is
Not the me that I dreamt of
It’s a person who looks like he’s about to start crying
A person alone in the darkness, a person who is simply lost
A sorrowful person


It’s fine, someday it will all be fine
How many days I’ve thought so, that have piled up on each other
But even today, the me who fades into the Tokyo scenery all alone
Seems like a ghost


Even as I grow used to losing
I just need that wish I had forgotten
When I remembered it
The tears fell
Simply because this city is
Way too dazzling


It’s harsh, I laugh while sighing
Amidst these decadent days
Thoughts of that day flashback in my mind
By the time I realize it, my logic’s open till the morning
Time and time again, putting my words to music


Even as I grow used to losing
I just need those days I had forgotten
But even so, even before that
That I can even think of them is
Because you’re here


Hey
In such a lonely city
Hey


The lights of the brilliant shining city
Shine down on me in stark contrast
In front of that building, I stretch out my hand
Tracing the view I dreamt of that day
I trade my time and this world
And call for tomorrow


Even as I grow used to losing
These important feelings that I haven’t lost—
When I held them close to myself,
I think my tears fell suddenly
Because I still want to
Keep living in this city


I wonder if it’s the same for you

燦然と輝く街の灯り
対照的な僕を見下ろす
あのビルの間を抜けて
色付き出したネオンと混じって
僕の時間とこの世界をトレード
夜に沈む


終電で家路を辿る僕の
目に映るガラス窓に居たのは
夢見た自分じゃなくて
今にも泣き出してしまいそうな
暗闇の中独りただ迷っている
哀しい人


大丈夫、いつか大丈夫になる
なんて思う日々を幾つ重ねた
今日だって独り東京の景色に透ける僕は
幽霊みたいだ


失うことに慣れていく中で
忘れてしまったあの願いさえも
思い出した時に
涙が落ちたのは
この街がただ
余りにも眩しいから


散々だって笑いながら嘆く
退廃的な日々の中
あの日の想いがフラッシュバック
気付けば朝まで開くロジック
僕の言葉を音に乗せて何度でも


失うことに慣れていく中で
忘れてしまったあの日々でさえも
それでもまだ先へ
なんて思えるのは
君がいるから


ねえ
こんな寂しい街で
ねえ


燦然と輝く街の灯り
対照的な僕を見下ろす
あのビルの先、手を伸ばして
あの日夢見た景色をなぞって
僕の時間とこの世界をトレード
明日を呼ぶ


失うことに慣れていく中で
失くさずにいた大事な想いを
抱き締めたら不意に
涙が落ちたのは
この街でまだ
生きていたいと思うから


君もそうでしょ
