I Am Here
私がいる
A song that follows a quiet sense of unease through a library after closing time. The more pages you turn, the more the air shifts, little by little. Don't look away until the very end.
Listen to this song
Lyrics
Japanese original with an English translation. Onomatopoeia, chants, and vocal phrases are kept in romaji to preserve their feel.
閉館のベルが鳴る 雨が背表紙を叩く
The closing bell rings; rain taps against the book spines.
返却棚に残る 名前のない赤い栞
On the return shelf, a nameless red bookmark remains.
消えた君の影だけ 蛍光灯が縫い止めて
Only your vanished shadow, pinned down by the fluorescent light;
私は鍵を拾った 冷たい銀の匂い
I picked up the key — the scent of cold silver.
時計は三時十七分で止まったまま
The clock stays stopped at three seventeen.
ページの端のインクが「見ないで」と滲む
Ink at the edge of the page bleeds out: 'Don't look.'
指先に移るのは 罪の温度
What transfers to my fingertips is the temperature of guilt.
真実は最後のページに隠れてる
The truth is hidden on the very last page.
Who did it who did it 声が反響する
Who did it, who did it — the voices echo.
辿るほどに私の足音が増えていく
The more I trace it, the more my own footsteps multiply.
栞が落ちるたび 君が遠ざかる
Each time a bookmark falls, you drift further away.
真実は最後のページに 私がいる
The truth is on the last page — and there, I am.
地下書庫の埃 息を潜める紙の森
Dust in the basement stacks, a forest of paper holding its breath.
消印のない手紙 封蝋に君の指紋
A letter with no postmark; your fingerprint in the wax seal.
地図に引いた赤い糸 出口をわざと外れて
The red thread drawn on the map deliberately misses the exit.
鏡の前で気づく 追う影は同じ形
Before the mirror I realize: the shadow I chase is the same shape as mine.
「目撃者さん」って 誰かが囁いた
'Dear witness,' someone whispered.
振り向くたび 私の声が遅れてくる
Each time I turn around, my own voice arrives a beat late.
記憶の余白に 答えが書かれてた
In the margins of my memory, the answer had been written all along.
真実は最後のページに隠れてる
The truth is hidden on the very last page.
Don’t look back don’t look back 灯りが揺れる
Don't look back, don't look back — the light flickers.
鍵穴の向こう 君じゃなくて私がいた
Beyond the keyhole, it wasn't you — it was me.
栞を挟んだのは 守るため？ 隠すため
Did I slip the bookmark in to protect… or to hide?
