Vanity Seven
「リリック・ガイド」7作目。歌詞作りに苦しむ心境を歌っています。


晴れた日の午後、必死に歌詞作りに取り組んでいた時に書かれた歌詞。創作活動における失敗がどれだけひどく心を傷つけるかについて語るものだ。

Time To Think (1999年7月9日作)

I thought one day / I'd have time to think;
I longed for the day.
I didn't realise / That, when the day came,
Thought itself would stop me thinking.

Older, much older, I have watched that time / Running out
I stopped running / Time started
Standing shock-still I leave myself behind.

I set aside this day. / There is no peace.
Engines rumble. / A gardener snips and cuts.
A cleaner vacuums.

I can sit here, / Ripening grapes above my head,
In a room older than my great-great-grandparents.
I can connect with them / And with their stories,
But I can't seem to hear myself.

I thought perhaps I could.
But I can't.
