Today, I want to introduce to you guys my favourite Japanese song, 僕が死のうと思ったのは.
It describes how a person becomes more and more optimistic over time. After you go through a terrible day, you can listen to it and it will cheer you up. Even though every one of us may feel desperate at one point, may never be able to realise our dream, and may find no one available to help us, life is beautiful in its own way.
The reason why I thought I'd die is because black-tailed gulls chirped on a pier
Appeared and disappeared drifting on the waves, flying away and picking my past as they go
The reason why I thought I'd die is because apricot blossoms bloomed on my birthday
Can I become the soil with dead bugs if I nap under the sunbeams filtering through foliage?
In front of a stove at a wooden station house, my heart can't set out anywhere
Today looks like yesterday, if we wanna change tomorrow we should change today
I know, I know... but...
The reason why I cry over being unsatisfied is surely because I wanna be satisfied
I'm not good at connecting things together, the same goes with human relationships
The reason why I thought I'd die is because the boy was gazing at me
I'm getting down on my knees on a bed to apologize to myself on that day
Sounds of interphone chimes, boy covering his ears in a birdcage
Don Quixote who's fighting with an invisible enemy in a six-mat room
Goal must be ugly anyway
The reason why I cry for being loved is because I've got to learn the warmth of others
The reason why I only consider dying is because I am way too serious to live on
I fell in love with this world a little more where people like you were born
The reason why I thought I'd die is because apricot blossoms bloomed on my birthday
Can I become the soil with dead bugs if I nap under the sunbeams filtering through foliage?
In front of a stove at a wooden station house, my heart can't set out anywhere
Today looks like yesterday, if we wanna change tomorrow we should change today
I know, I know... but...
The reason why I cry over being unsatisfied is surely because I wanna be satisfied
I'm not good at connecting things together, the same goes with human relationships
The reason why I thought I'd die is because the boy was gazing at me
I'm getting down on my knees on a bed to apologize to myself on that day
Sounds of interphone chimes, boy covering his ears in a birdcage
Don Quixote who's fighting with an invisible enemy in a six-mat room
Goal must be ugly anyway
The reason why I cry for being loved is because I've got to learn the warmth of others
The reason why I only consider dying is because I am way too serious to live on
I fell in love with this world a little more where people like you were born
Mint candy, lighthouse at a fishing port, rusty arch bridge, abandoned bicycle
The reason why I thought I'd die is because my heart went blank
The reason why I thought I'd die is because the shoelace got undone
Dim-light of a computer, sounds of life coming from upstairs
The reason why I thought I'd die is because I was called a cold person
The reason why I thought I'd die is because of your gentle laugh
The reason why I thought I'd die is because I hadn't met you yet
I will place my hope in this world a little bit where people like you are alive.
I listened to the song and read the lyrics in English. A moving song! Your Japanese is good. Keep learning and practicing.
