Lyrics & translation
Verse
The red service lamp blinks over my shoulder
肩の上で赤い点検ランプが点滅する
Riding the lift to the top floor alone
一人でエレベーターに乗って最上階へ
Tighten the bolts, check every metal wire
ボルトを締め、鉄のワイヤーを点検する
Silence is heavy in this hollow shaft
空っぽのシャフトに静寂が重くのしかかる
Case on the floor, brass shines so bright
床に置いたケース、真鍮が明るく輝く
Reed in my mouth, cold air turns warm
リードをくわえ、冷たい空気が熱を帯びる
Blowing a soul into the steel cage
鋼鉄の檻の中に魂を吹き込む
Notes climb the walls, seeking the sky
音符は壁を登り、空を探している
Chorus
Playing the blues in a small square room
四角い小部屋でブルースを奏でる
Music is rising, higher than the roof
音楽は屋根よりも高く昇っていく
Hidden talent finds a way out today
隠れた才能が今日、出口を見つける
Higher than the roof
屋根よりも高く
Verse
Someone is listening outside the sliding doors
スライドドアの外で誰かが聞いている
Suit and a tie, holding a golden card
スーツにネクタイ、金のカードを手に
The music stopped, but the chance just began
音楽は止まったが、チャンスは今始まった
Step out the box, leave the tools behind
箱を出て、道具を置いていきなさい
Chorus
Playing the blues in a small square room
四角い小部屋でブルースを奏でる
Music is rising, higher than the roof
音楽は屋根よりも高く昇っていく
Hidden talent finds a way out today
隠れた才能が今日、出口を見つける
Higher than the roof
屋根よりも高く
Outro
No more repairs, just the stage light
もう修理はいらない、ただステージの光を
Saxophone singing, reaching for the stars
サックスが歌い、星へと手を伸ばす
