Didn't Fit in the Box

箱に入らなかった

The one thing that will not go in the box — the driest, smallest sound here, with the reverb taken out on purpose.

最後の一つが

どうしても 入らない

捨てるほどでも

持っていくほどでも

 

手に持ったまま

部屋を 一周する

置く場所を

探してる

 

要らない わけじゃない

要る わけでもない

だから ずっと

決められない

 

Wouldn't fit

Wouldn't fit

箱に 入らない

どこにも 入らない

Wouldn't fit

Wouldn't fit

捨てられない

持てもしない

 

これを もらった日を

まだ 覚えてる

くれた人のことは

もう 曖昧で

物だけが

正確に 残る

いつも そうだ

いつも

 

要らない わけじゃない

要る わけでもない

だから ずっと

決められない

 

Wouldn't fit

Wouldn't fit

箱に 入らない

どこにも 入らない

Wouldn't fit

Wouldn't fit

捨てられない

持てもしない

 

結局 持っていく

使わないのに

そういうものが

毎回 増える

 

Wouldn't fit

Wouldn't fit

箱に 入らない

どこにも 入らない

Wouldn't fit

Wouldn't fit

捨てられない

持てもしない

English translation

The last one

just won't go in

not enough to throw out

not enough to take

 

Holding it

I walk the room once

looking for

somewhere to set it down

 

It's not that I don't need it

it's not that I do

so all this time

I can't decide

 

Wouldn't fit

Wouldn't fit

won't go in the box

won't go anywhere

Wouldn't fit

Wouldn't fit

can't throw it out

can't carry it either

 

I still remember

the day I was given this

the one who gave it

has gone vague

only the object

stays exact

it's always like that

always

 

It's not that I don't need it

it's not that I do

so all this time

I can't decide

 

Wouldn't fit

Wouldn't fit

won't go in the box

won't go anywhere

Wouldn't fit

Wouldn't fit

can't throw it out

can't carry it either

 

In the end I take it

though I'll never use it

things like that

pile up every time

 

Wouldn't fit

Wouldn't fit

won't go in the box

won't go anywhere

Wouldn't fit

Wouldn't fit

can't throw it out

can't carry it either
