Goldfish

Lyrics: Tenten
Music: Yuma

Every time a second passes by it hurts.
I wonder after how many times I will posses such a heart and body.

That sparkling surface of the water is so far away.
I wonder how often I will throw them away? All my precious prides.
It seems like I can’t die, although I’m over-bred.
I don’t know after how much time, after how many seconds
neither if I will ever posses them...

In my dreams I’m swimming to this far away water’s surface but
With my undermined heart I’ve been released onto land.
Goldfish...

It seems like I can’t walk, no matter now much I try.
It’s cruel...
At last the scales which I tear off can’t sparkle anymore either.
Just in my dreams I’m swimming to this far away water’s surface.

I wonder why I, who was released onto land, just can’t give up?

I don’t want to become like these goldfishes who get their bait from a dirty human,
That’s why I left their group, which is gathering around the bait.
In the end I couldn’t crawl out of this over-bred pond.
I only wanted to see much more of this wide world.

I just wanted to swim without being bound to anyone.
I got to know too late that this certain freedom wasn’t here.
Again I stare at this unreachable water’s surface
While I’m searching for the fragments of my smashed dream.
No matter how you release me onto land,
I can’t give up, although I have no suitable body.
