LIFE IN DOWNTOWN [Album]

Shuting Down Business

Lyrics, Composition, & Arrangement: Noriyuki Makihara

He just saw on the news
a child about the same age as his son
collapse from a stray bullet
from soldiers shooting at each other
He recognized the guns
those soldiers were holding
When he realized it was something he'd made
He grew pale

The angel fell asleep
in the middle of talking about soccer
but he pulled back his hand that was about to touch them
since it looked like the Devil's hand

He stares at both hands
as they won't stop shaking
These hands aren't here
to take someone else's life
Finally he put his interlocked fingers
on his forehead and prays
"Aah, God, please
Please save him"

It's not like it'll disappear
just because one person quits
He'd come this far saying
it's necessary to survive
If you make one gun
there'll be more people with a gun pointed at them
Saying it's necessary to survive
they took someone's life

He looked at his sleeping son's face
He calms down and thinks hard
about what he can do now
about what he needs to do now

He once again gazes
at his still shaking hands
These hands aren't here
to take someone else's life
He realized they're for embracing someone
they're for praying for someone's happiness and
they're for shutting down a business

And then that boy bandaged
and in bed shows on the TV
His own life is saved
by someone else's life being saved

He once again gazes
at his still shaking hands
These hands aren't here
to take someone else's life
And to live without forgetting
that they're for embracing someone
that they're for praying for someone's happiness...
"Aah, God
I'm going to shut down my business"
Misejimai

Sakushi, Sakkyoku, & Henkyoku: Makihara Noriyuki

Uchiau heishi no nagaredama ni
Musuko to onaji kurai no
Kodomo ga taorete iku nowo
Tatta ima nyuusu de mita
Sono heishi ga motte ita
Juu ni mioboe ga atta
Sore ga jibun no tsukutta mono to
Kizuite chi no ke ga hiita

Sakkaa no hanashi no tochuu de
Nemutte shimatta tenshi ni
Fureyou to shita te wo hiita
Akuma no te no you ni miete

Furuete tomaranai ryoute wo
Jitto mitsumeru
Dareka no inochi ubau tame ni
Kono te wa aru'n ja nai
Yatto no omoi de kunda te wo
Hitai ni atete kare wa inoru
"Aa, Kamisama douka
Kare wo tasukete kudasai"

Hitori ga yameta gurai de
Naku naru wake dewa nai shi
Ikite iku tame shikata nai to
Sou itte ima made kita
Juu wo hitotsu tsukureba mata
Juukou ga mukerareru mono ga fueru
Ikite iku tame ni shikata nai to
Dareka no inochi wo ubatte ita

Nemuru musuko no kao wo mita
Jibun ni ima dekiru koto wo
Jibun ga ima suru beki koto wo
Ochitsuite yoku kangaeru'n da

Mada furueru ryoute wo
Mou ichido mitsumeru
Dareka no inochi ubau tame ni
Kono te wa aru'n ja nai
Dareka wo idaku tame
Dareka no shiawase wo inoru tame soshite
Mise wo tatamu tame ni
Kono te wa aru to kizuita

Sono toki terebi wa beddo de
Houtai wo makareta ano ko wo utsusu
Dareka no inochi ga sukuwareru koto de
Jibun no inochi ga sukuwareru

Mada furueru ryoute wo
Mou ichido mitsumeru
Dareka no inochi ubau tame ni
Kono te wa aru'n ja nai
Dareka wo idaku tame dareka no shiawase wo
Inoru tame ni kono te wa aru to
Wasurezu ni ikite iku tame ni
"Aa, Kamisama
Watashi wa mise wo tatamimasu"
