黒い羊 | Kuroi hitsuji | Black Sheep

信号は青なのかそれとも緑なのかどっちなんだ?
あやふやなものははっきりさせたい
夕暮れ時の商店街の雑踏を通り抜けるのが面倒で
踏切を渡って 遠回りして帰る

放課後の教室は苦手だ
その場にいるだけで分かり合えてるようで
話し合いにならないし
白けてしまった僕は無口になる
言いたいこと言い合って解決しよう
なんて楽天的すぎるよ

誰かが溜め息をついた
そう それが本当の声だろう

黒い羊 そうだ 僕だけがいなくなればいいんだ
そうすれば 止まってた針はまた動き出すんだろう?
全員が納得するそんな答えなんかあるものか!
反対が僕だけならいっそ無視すればいいんだ
みんなから説得される方が居心地悪くなる
目配せしている仲間には僕は厄介者でしかない

真っ白な群れに悪目立ちしてる
自分だけが真っ黒な羊
と言ったって同じ色に染まりたくないんだ

薄暗い部屋の明かりつけるタイミングって一体いつなんだろう?
スマホには愛のない過去だけが残ってる
人間関係の答え合わせなんか僕には出来ないし
そこにいなければよかったと後悔する

人生の大半は思うようにはいかない
納得できないことばかりだし諦めろと諭されてたけど
それならやっぱ納得なんかしないまま
その度に何度も唾を吐いて
噛みついちゃいけませんか?

No No No No
全部 僕のせいだ

黒い羊 そうだ 僕だけがいなくなればいいんだ
そうすれば 止まってた針はまた動き出すんだろう?
全員が納得するそんな答えなんかあるものか!
反対が僕だけならいっそ無視すればいいんだ
みんなから説得される方が居心地悪くなる
目配せしてる仲間には僕は厄介者でしかない
わかってるよ

La La La...

白い羊なんて僕は絶対になりたくないんだ
そうなった瞬間に僕は僕じゃなくなってしまうよ
まわりと違うそのことで誰かに迷惑かけたか?
髪の毛を染めろと言う大人は何が気に入らない?
反逆の象徴になるとでも思っているのか?
自分の色とは違うそれだけで厄介者か?

Oh
自らの真実を捨て白い羊のふりをする者よ
黒い羊を見つけ 指を差して笑うのか?
それなら僕はいつだって
それでも僕はいつだって
ここで悪目立ちしてよう

Is the traffic light blue? Or green? Which is it?
I want ambiguous things to be cleared up
Getting through the shopping street’s bustle in the evening is troublesome
So I cross the railway crossing and take a detour home

I can’t deal with the after-school classroom
As if we can understand each other just by being there
We have nothing to talk about
After being a spoilsport, I keep my mouth shut
‘Let’s settle things by saying what we want to say’
That’s way too optimistic

Someone sighed
Yes, that's probably what they really felt

The black sheep, yes, it’d be fine if only I disappeared
If I did that, wouldn’t the frozen hands of the clock move again?
No answer can be agreed by everyone!
If I’m the only opposition, just ignore me
Having everyone persuade me is uncomfortable
To friends exchanging knowing looks, I’m just a nuisance

In the flock of pure white, I stick out like a sore thumb
I’m the only pitch black sheep
I say that, but I don’t want to be dyed the same colour as others

When is it really the right time to turn on the lights in a gloomy room?
The only thing left in the smartphone is a loveless past
I can’t check what the right answer is for human relationships
I regret, I wish I weren’t there

For the majority of our lives, we can’t live the way we want
Unacceptable things everywhere, and I’ve been warned to give up
But in that case, can’t I just keep on not accepting those things
Keep spitting on them every time, no matter how many times
Am I not allowed to bite?

No No No No
Everything’s my fault

The black sheep, yes, it’d be fine if only I disappeared
If I did that, wouldn’t the frozen hands of the clock move again?
No answer can be agreed by everyone!
If I’m the only opposition, just ignore me
Having everyone persuade me is uncomfortable
To friends exchanging knowing looks, I’m just a nuisance
I know that

La La La...

I’d never want to be a white sheep
The moment I became that, I would stop being myself
Who am I bothering by being different from my surroundings?
What don’t the adults like, when they tell me to dye my hair?
Do they think it’ll become a symbol of resistance?
Am I a nuisance just by being a different colour from theirs?

Oh
Those who have given up your true selves to act as the white sheep
Do you point and laugh when you find a black sheep?
If so, I’ll always
Even so, I’ll always
Be the sore thumb that sticks out here
