Lyrics
Verse 1
欲しがるほど 遠ざかる影
鍵をかけたのは 自分の不安
「愛してる」と呟きながら
檻の中に 閉じ込めてる
Pre-Chorus
飾った言葉は ただの disguise
抱きしめた指が 首を締める
Chorus
Set them free ― 口ではそう言って
心では縛りつける
愛と呼ぶには あまりに狭い
独りよがりの cage
Set them free ― 皮肉な祈りのように
叫べば叫ぶほどに
壊れていくのは その笑顔と
あなたの “truth”
Verse 2
監視の瞳は 愛じゃなく欲望
嫉妬の 影が 踊り出す
「守りたい」と言うその声は
自由を奪う 呪文になる
Pre-Chorus
優しさの裏に 隠したナイフ
独占欲だけ 残していく
Chorus
Set them free ― その言葉の奥で
鎖を研ぎ澄ませてる
愛と呼ぶには あまりに苦い
矛盾だらけの cage
Set them free ― 皮肉な祈りのように
歌えば歌うほどに
壊れていくのは その未来と
あなたの 愛
Bridge
ねえ 本当に見えるのか?
檻の中で 笑う幻を
それを「愛」と呼ぶなら
愛はもう 死んでいる
Final Chorus / Outro
Set them free ― 空に放てるなら
初めてそこに咲く
愛と呼べるもの 痛みを越えて
光になるはずさ
Set them free ― 皮肉を超えるように
囁くその声が
嘘じゃないなら 信じてみせろ
その手を離して ― Set them free
----- English Lyrics -----
Verse 1
The more you crave, the further they fade
The key you turn is forged from fear
Whisper “I love you” under your breath
Yet you build a cage and lock it tight
Pre-Chorus
Your pretty words are just disguise
The hands that hold will strangle light
Chorus
Set them free — you say it out loud
While you chain them deep inside
Too narrow a place to call it love
Just a self-made cage
Set them free — a prayer drenched in irony
The louder you shout it out
The more it shatters — their smile,
and all of your truth
Verse 2
Those jealous eyes are hunger, not care
Shadows of envy start to dance
The voice that swears “I’ll protect you”
Turns into a spell that steals their air
Pre-Chorus
Behind your kindness hides a knife
Possession is the only thing you keep
Chorus
Set them free — but your secret voice
Sharpens every chain again
Too bitter a taste to call it love
Contradictions caged
Set them free — a prayer drenched in irony
The more you sing the words
The more it shatters — their future,
and all of your love
Bridge
Tell me — can you really see?
A smile behind those bars?
If that’s what you dare call “love”
Then love is already dead
Final Chorus / Outro
Set them free — if you can let go
Only then it blooms for real
What you call love — beyond the pain
Will finally turn to light
Set them free — out of the irony
If that whisper is not a lie
Prove it now — release your hands
And set them free…
