Radwimps - ソクラティックラブ (Socratic Love)

It’s okay to just pretend to understand each other, after all we’re Alice and Telece,
But then why, and how, and for what reason are you Archimedes again today?

If there has to be a reason to tangle together and nag each other,
I’ll let go and run barefooted to find one for us.

So I’m gonna sing this harmony cuz
I’m mystic don’t wanna scammony
does anybody really wanna follow me? McCartney leads ‘let it be’

now open up your mind and be retarded like this is your final
chance to have your dirty spermies out out out

You were there at loneliness’ side, and I was there beside sadness.
Loneliness and sadness joined hands and brought us together.

We should walk together as four, walk together holding hands.
Because look, it’s more lively and fun than just one or two

You say I’m dear to you, but what part of me are you indicating?
What makes me, me? Tell me.

For example,
If my face was torn in half, my arm into two or three, my eye into five parts,
If my brain was replaced with my neighbor’s, my voice with an alien’s, that part with a carrot,
If I changed like that, would you still be able to call me, me?
What part has to remain for me to be me?

I’ll chase after you again today to make sure of your feelings.
I know I won’t get through to you, and that’s why I cried that time.

But if you’re hiding somewhere inside those words,
Force the points together, and like a constellation,
Let me feel like I understand the shape of your heart.

Even if I’m told Pegasus, Pavo, Orion, I still don’t understand.
Virgo, Taurus, Capricorn, Circinus, I can’t see any of them.
“That’s the hand of a clock” - no matter how I look, it’s useless.
And if I’m told that’s one of the Gemini twins, I’ve already given up…
