Dear Vocalist - 2 of a Kind English Translation

Lyrics: Iwasaki Daisuke
Composition: R・O・N





The turbulent wind draws near
As I look up to the sky, my tears begin to fall

For some reason, in my heartache, I closed myself off
I couldn't take any more disappointments

We live the same moments together, but if you insist on taking everything upon yourself
Then the two of us who were once alike will only misunderstand one another
And nothing will get across

I fervently rinsed off phrases like “I believe in you” with cheap soap
Still, they can’t be washed off

Every time I glare at my surroundings, I fall deeper into dark conflict
Yes, I brandished my knife

Running away, fading out of sight
Our monstrous figures were two of a kind

One of my eyes starts to quiver
If it's about balance, I’d lost mine a long time ago
Thousands of people can throw their pipe dreams away

The future I pictured in my younger days has been devoured and mangled to pieces
And so, the beast lay there waiting for me

I forced my eyes wide open and prayed earnestly into the mirror
Still, it's full of things I can't see

The cityscape looking down the window felt all too cold, glowing with pale lights
Yes, I'm merely speaking to myself

Running away, fading out of sight
Our monstrous figures were two of a kind

Just when will the hands of the watch you gave me freeze over, I wonder?

“2 of a… kind”

I fervently rinsed off phrases like “I believe in you” with cheap soap
Still, they can’t be washed off

Every time I glare at my surroundings, I fall deeper into dark conflict
Yes, I brandished my knife

Running away, fading out of sight
Our figures were two of a kind

Running away, fading out of sight
I couldn't reach to hold your hand
