From My Hawaii's EP, "Definition of Friends"

lyrics

I must have looked like Genghis Kahn
Running a canal in the great sand
Believing it was for the common men
but no one even wanted in the end

How did I?
How did I think i could
change this world we live in
with my own two hands?

I must have looked like the Pied Piper
Never took the time to learn the instrument
No one follows inaudible flute
so I ended up alone in no-man's land

How did I?
How did I think i could
change this world we live in
with my own two hands?

I wanna be like an old mahogany tree
Never seem to care what it should be
It must be nice
to see the seasons change
Standing tall, quietly
Standing tall, quietly
Standing tall, quietly

そのとき僕はまるで人民のためと信じながら
砂漠に運河を通そうとするチンギスハンのようだっただろう
でも結局は誰もそんな物必要としていなかったんだ

どうして、
僕はどうして自分の手で世界を変えられるなんて
思ってしまったんだろう?

そのとき僕はフルートの練習を怠った
ハーメルンの笛吹きみたいだっただろう
音の出ないフルートなんかについてくる人は誰もいないから
結局僕はひとりぼっちだ

どうして、
僕はどうして自分の手で世界を変えられるなんて
思ってしまったんだろう?

僕は何の気兼ねもなさそうな
古いマホガニーの木になってしまいたい
季節の移ろいを聞きながら
静かに静かに立っていたい
静かに静かに立っていたい
