Lyrics
駅のコンコースには たくさん人がいる
自動けんばい機で行き先を 黙って探してる
その人は少し考えてから、
なぜか切符は 買おうとしなかった
[instrument]
学生がどうってことない顔して
ホームに急いでる
学校はまだ 始まらない時間なのに
急いでホームに駆け上がる
ベンチには 誰も座っていないのに
誰かが忘れた新聞がそのまま置かれてる
[instrument]
反対側のホームには まだ出発しない
ローカル列車が 停まったまんま
始発なのかまだ電気がついていない
さっきの高校生が 反対側のホームのベンチに座り
本を読んでいる
[instrument]
やがてこのホームにも 列車が来るチャイムが鳴った
あとから来た女性が 荷物をたくさん持って
階段に苦労してる
電車が到着しドアが開いたのに、
誰もその電車に乗ろうとしない、
どうして乗らないのか、
考えてもわからないけど、
乗りたくない理由があるのかな
[instrument]
みんなの目的地は 同じ電車では
たどりつけないのかな
雨が 本降りになってきた
向かいのホームに停まってた
2両編成の車内灯がついた
高校生は1番目に乗り込んだ
車内は暖房で窓が曇っているから
中は見えない
こちらのホームの電車が発車する
ベルが鳴っている
[instrument]
あの切符を買わなかった人は
どこにもいないのに
誰も乗らなかった電車は
ドアが自動的に 閉まり
何事もないように 動き出した
僕はここにいる...
I'm still here.
I'm still here.
No one tells me why.
僕はここにいる...
I'm still here.
I'm still here.
No one tells me why.
[instrument]
僕は、ここに。。。
ここにいる
[end]
7:00 AM, a cold rain is falling In the station concourse, people are everywhere
Searching for a destination at the ticket machine in silence That person stops to think for a moment,
But for some reason, they didn't try to buy a ticket [instrument]
A student with an indifferent look on their face Is rushing toward the platform
Even though it’s too early for school to start They hurry up the stairs to the platform
No one is sitting on the benches But a forgotten newspaper is left lying there [instrument]
On the opposite platform, not yet ready to depart A local train stands perfectly still
Perhaps the first train of the day, the lights aren't even on
The student from before is now on that opposite side Sitting on a bench, lost in a book [instrument]
Soon, the chime rings on this platform too, signaling a train
A woman who arrived late, burdened with many bags Is struggling with the stairs
The train arrives and the doors slide open, But no one makes a move to get on
Why won't they board? I think about it, but I don't understand
Is there a reason they don't want to go? [instrument]
Maybe everyone's destination Can't be reached by taking the same train
The rain has started to pour now Parked on the opposite platform,
The lights inside the two-car train flicker on The student is the first to step inside
The heater is on and the windows are fogged up So I can't see what's happening inside
The train on this platform is about to depart The departure bell is ringing [instrument]
The person who didn't buy a ticket Is nowhere to be found
Yet the train that no one boarded Closes its doors automatically And pulls away as if nothing ever happened
I am here... I'm still here. I'm still here. No one tells me why.
I am here... I'm still here. I'm still here. No one tells me why. [instrument]
I am... here... Right here. [end]
