Orthodox

Lyrics & Composition: Ken Hirai
Arrangement: Tomi Yo

I hate this city, the family restaurants along the national highway too
The white boxes with everything somehow aligned are perfect for boring me
That girl used to be in the same class as me and her exaggerated surprised voice
was so grating, but now she sighs with a sour look at the teller window

I hate this city. As I drive along the national highway
it feels like neither the red lights or green lights will let me through
The game arcade I used to go to has become a clean convenience store
Why does my dry skin remain as dry as ever?

I turn on the second corner and a familiar view awaits me
I'd thought if I could get out of here, everything would come true

"Someday, someday," I thought. "Why, why!?" I cried out
I miss the nights I would cry just to show someone
"More and more," I thought. "Someone, someone," I wished
Frustrated with my speed, everyone passes me by

I want a ridiculously stylish ordinary

I hate this city. The sky's overcast along the national highway
The passing scenery is half-hearted and the stupid banners are swaying
That girl used to be in the same class as me and when she saw me getting excited
on purpose, she immediately hung her head, but now she's left this town and I don't know where she is

I want to try going to a town where no one knows me
I'd thought if I get out of here, I could erase everything

"Someday, someday," I thought. "Why, why!?" I cried out
Unexpected tears will only cause me trouble tomorrow
"More and more," I thought. "Someone, someone," I wished
Frustrated with my speed, everyone passes me by

Call me with those kind eyes you had then

Watashi wa kono machi ga kirai kokudouzoi no famiresu mo
Subete ga nantonaku sorou shiroi hako mo taikutsu na watashi ni pittari
Mukashi onaji kurasu de oogesa ni odoroku koe ga
Mimizawari datta ano ko wa ima madoguchi de bucchouzura na iki wo haku

Watashi wa kono machi ga kirai kokudouzoi hashirinagara
Aka shingou mo ao shingou mo watashi wo tooshite wa kurenai ki ga shite
Mukashi kayotta geesen wa kirei na konbini ni natta
Watashi no kawaita hada wa doushite kawarazu kawakikitta mama nan darou

Futatsume no kado wo magareba minareta keshiki ga matteru
Koko kara dereba subete kanau to omotteta

Itsuka itsuka to omotteta nande nande to sakendeta
Dareka ni miseru tame dake ni naiteta yoru ga natsukashii
Motto motto to omotteta dareka dareka to negatteta
Watashi no sokudo ni iradachi minna ga oikoshite yuku

Baka mitai ni kakkoii futsuu ga hoshii yo

Watashi wa kono machi ga kirai kokudouzoi wa kumorizora
Toorisugite iku keshiki wa chuutohanpa de manuke na nobori ga yurete iru
Mukashi onaji kurasu de wazato hashagu watashi wo mite
Sugu ni utsumuita ano ko wa ima kono machi wo dete itta kiri wakaranai

Daremo watashi wo shiranai no sonna machi ni itte mitai
Koko kara dereba subete keseru to omotteta

Itsuka itsuka to omotteta nande nande to sakendeta
Omoi mo yoranai namida wa asu no watashi ga komaru dake
Motto motto to omotteta dareka dareka to negatteta
Watashi no sokudo ni iradachi minna ga oikoshite yuku

Ano toki no yasashii me de watashi wo yonde yo
