Placing my phone face down, a night that belongs only to me begins. I want to do that, too. I really should get to this. A dance of tasks spins around inside my head. And yet, a reason to rush is nowhere to be found. Opening the window to a lukewarm night breeze, with absolutely nothing left to block my view. It feels like the world has grown just a fraction wider. The voices calling out to me have all gone silent. Like curtains swimming in the wind, shifting their shapes—white, blurred, and fluid. It’s not that I want to become someone else; I'm perfectly fine just as I am. As if tracing a soft step, swaying gently, I swim through a night that belongs only to me. Who exactly was I during the daytime? Fretting over the eyes of strangers passing by, constantly hunting for the "right answer." Now, I couldn't care less. Moonlight spills across the floor, as silence slowly fills the room. This solitude isn't loneliness— it's the time I need to reclaim myself. Shadows stretch out, then bleed away. I find myself simply adoring this meaningless time. Clutching the luxury of doing absolutely nothing tightly in my hands. Along the edge of a night I never want to end, I fill the space with a step that is purely mine. Before the footsteps of tomorrow draw too close, we stretch out the remaining time. Only the night forgives me for doing nothing at all. Drifting in the night, our shadows float. It’s not that I want to become someone else; I'm perfectly fine just as I am. As if tracing a soft step, swaying gently, I swim through a night that belongs only to me. Swaying gently, going right with the flow. Until the dawn breaks, just staying as I am. --- ※These English lyrics are a literal/poetic translation focused on conveying the emotional essence of the original Japanese.
