By putting my hands on the wall, I hear the sounds inside That’s the only thing I can do now My heart’s pounding too fast The mystery of eternity is beyond that closed door What are you really thinking about? It keeps on going fast Laughing together with someone – is the reason we do that just the same thing as trying to hide an unavoidable loneliness? Holding on tightly to this time that can never be replaced Laughing, to where grace is It feels like we’re all ashamed of being born naked But isn’t wrapping our bodies in clothing the true sin? It feels like we’re all ashamed of exposing our naked hearts But don’t we all go on wearing masks? Many times over and over Laughing together with someone – is the reason we do that just the same thing as trying to hide an unavoidable loneliness? Holding on tightly to this time that can never be replaced Laughing, to where grace is Let me go let me go let me go At times things go bad, too, but Take it slow take it slow take it slow Slowly climb back up again I know you can do it Laughing together with someone – is the reason we do that just the same thing as trying to hide an unavoidable loneliness? Holding on tightly to this time that can never be replaced Laughing, to where grace is |
Translator's notes: The title is a bit confusing, but I believe Rie is talking about how we laugh with others and put on a happy face so we can be taken to where grace is, to where we are forgiven and loved because we are (or at least seem) happy. The word "megumi" in Japanese is very much associated with blessings, glory, mercy, and grace from the gods or God, just as the word "grace" is in English.
