Lyrics:
In the middle of the vast ocean
One whale speaks softly and lonelily
The fact that no matter how much they shout, it won’t reach
Makes them so gravely lonely that they quietly shut their mouths
So what, what does it all matter,
Now, well, I don’t care
When only the thing called Loneliness remained by my side
I’ve become completely alone
The lock that I fasten lonelily
Some say, “bastard, you’ve become a celebrity”
Oh fuck that, yeah, well, so what, nobody
remains by my side, I’m ok like this
These words that are easily said towards me quickly becomes a wall
Even loneliness turns into something you can see
Even if my breaths are blocked
Because I’m confined in that wall
(I) head towards the surface of water above
Hey oh oh hey oh yeah
Lonely lonely lonely whale
Singing alone like this
Even me, who’s like a lonely island
Would I be able to shine brightly
Lonely lonely lonely whale
Like this, try calling once again
Until this song that doesn’t have a response
Reaches tomorrow
No more no more baby
No more no more
An endless signal
Will reach someday
Everywhere, even to the other side of the earth
No more no more baby
No more no more
Even the blind whales
Will be able to see me
Today, again, I sing
The world will never know
How said I am
My hurt is water and oil that can’t mix
So only above the surface of the water do I
Breathe, and the interest (towards me) ends
A child in the lonely ocean
I want to make it known too
My value, everyday
I become sick with worry, the sticker always beneath my ear
Never end, why isn’t there an end; every time it’s hell
Even if time goes by, in the cold abyss
Neverland
But, I always think, now
Even if I sleep a shrimp’s sleep, my dreams are like that of a whale’s
The upcoming big praise will make me dance everyday
Like me, Ye i’m swimmin’
I go towards my future
That blue beach and
Believe in my hertz
Hey oh oh hey oh yeah
Lonely lonely lonely whale
Singing alone like this
Even me, who’s like a lonely island
Would I be able to shine brightly
Lonely lonely lonely whale
Like this, try calling once again
Until this song that doesn’t have a response
Reaches tomorrow
My mother said the sea is blue
She said to let out your voice as far as you can
But what to do, it’s so dark and
There are only different whales
speaking entirely different words
I juss can’t hold it ma
I want to say I love you
I want to trace back to this music sheet that’s
like a rotating song that I sing myself
This sea is too deep
Still, I’m lucky
Because even if I cry, no one would know
I’m a whalien
Lonely lonely lonely whale
Singing alone like this
Even me, who’s like a lonely island
Would I be able to shine brightly
Lonely lonely lonely whale
Like this, try calling once again
Until this song that doesn’t have a response
Reaches tomorrow
No more no more baby
No more no more
An endless signal, will reach someday
Everywhere, even to the other side of the earth
No more no more baby
No more no more
Even the blind whales will be able to see me
Today, again, I sing
