clock lock works

Background[]

Hachi's 8th published original VOCALOID work. It is one of his many hits and has entered the Hall of Legend.

A girl is waiting for her prince charming as she spends her routine day, but her prince doesn't seem to appear. The lyrics, however, are vague and open to interpretation.

Lyrics[]

Japanese (日本語歌詞)	Romaji (ローマ字)
パッパラ働く休む事なく	pappara hataraku yasumu koto naku
ロ　ド　ロ　ド　ランランラ	ro do ro do ran ran ra
繰り返しの毎日	kuri kaeshi no mainichi
気がつけば迷子の猫の様	ki ga tsukeba maigo no neko no you

どっかで誰かが入れ替わろうと	dokka de dareka ga ire kawarou to
マ　ノ　マ　ノ　ランランラ	ma no ma no ran ran ra
誰も気付かない	dare mo kizuka nai
ひたすらに数字を追っかけた	hitasura ni suuji o okkaketa

心の奥底には　鍵をかけた扉	kokoro no okusoko niwa kagi o kaketa tobira
「馬鹿げてる」　そう言い聞かせては	"baka geteru" sou ii kikasete wa
ノックの音を無視した	nokku no oto o mushi shita

「変わらない」と　諦めて	"kawara nai" to akiramete
佇（たたず）む時計の針に急（せ）かされる	tatazumu tokei no hari ni seka sareru
夢ならば　喜んで	yume naraba yorokonde
「星に願い事を」と　真面目な顔で	"hoshi ni negai goto o" to majime na kao de

チクタク働け馬鹿げた兵士	tikutaku hatarake baka geta heishi
ガッタン　ガッタン　ランランラ	gattan gattan ran ran ra
取捨選択　よーいどん	shusha sentaku yooi don
気がつけば真っ黒　屑の様	ki ga tsukeba makkuro kuzu no you

朝と夜とが入れ替わろうと	asa to yoru to ga ire kawarou to
ノ　マ　ノ　マ　ランランラ	no ma no ma ran ran ra
誰も気にしない	dare mo ki ni shinai
貪欲に数字を追っかけた	donyoku ni suuji o okkaketa

扉の向こうから　微かに漏れる声	tobira no mukou kara kasuka ni moreru koe

「仕方ない」と　膝立てて	"shikata nai" to hiza tatete
部屋の隅っこで小さく罵声を吐く	heya no sumikko de chiisaku basei o haku
何処でもいい　連れ出して	doko demo ii tsure dashite
王子様なんて　来るはずも無く	ooji sama nante kuru hazu mo naku

「こんばんは　おはようございます」	"konbanwa ohayougozaimasu"
扉の向こうで誰かが言う	tobira no mukou de dareka ga iu
「大丈夫、鍵は開けずとも」	"daijoubu kagi wa akezu tomo"
「ここからアナタに届くでしょ？」	"koko kara anata ni todoku desho?"

そんな話は聞きたくない	sonna hanashi wa kiki taku nai
聞きたくない　嫌　聞きたくない	kiki taku nai iya kiki taku nai
ねぇねぇ　何処にも行かないで	nee nee doko nimo ika nai de
側にいて　話を聞かせて	soba ni ite hanashi o kikasete

「下らない」と　嘘吐（つ）いて	"kudara nai" to uso tsuite
それでも誰かに気付いて欲しくて	sore demo dareka ni kizuite hoshikute
冷たくて　触れたくない	tsumetakute furetaku nai
いつまで経っても鍵は開けられずに	itsumade tatte mo kagi wa ake rarezu ni

棺の中　働いて	hitsugi no naka hataraite
「それでもまあ」なんて言いたくはないわ	"sore demo maa" nante ītaku wa nai wa
針は回る　いつまでも	hari wa mawaru itsu made mo
優しいノックの音で泣いてしまう	yasashii nokku no oto de naite shimau
