19 Sai no Uta (Song For 19 Years Old)
Mao Abe
Text

On these days I don’t know whether I’m breathing or not
The freedom I’ve come to grasp becomes unmanageable and gets swept away
What was I searching for, where did I want to go
In the tranquility I obtained I’m averting my deceived eyes

The one singing in that world I’ve dreamed of many times
perhaps wasn’t me

The endless impulses and unyielding throbbing
I still want to believe but I’m beginning to lose sight of it all

When can I get away, when will it all end
In these days in which it’s like I just cope, I’m just searching only for that
Although there’s still not a single thing for me to lose
I’m beginning to get protective, break me

This surging voice strums an “urge,” this is my “pulse”
Let me still believe
I still don’t want to let you end it

I’ve started to be satisfied, abuse me
I’m losing sight of myself, break me

The endless impulses and unyielding throbbing
Let me still believe, I still don’t want to let you end it
I still don’t want to let you end it
