Cordless Baby

Lyrics & Composition: Saori
Arrangement: SEKAI NO OWARI & Tomi Yo

"I don't have any memories of when we were connected"
though you say that
we got through the turbulant day of October 10th¹
and it was cut with a snip

Are you gonna cut it with ordinary scissors like this?
While thinking that,
you became cordless
just like high-tech goods

Those unforgettable winter days
We were connected until a few seconds ago
The day I held your body up
slowly in both arms

Congratulations
You were just born
and let out your first cry
Under the night sky with stars all over
it's the party of joy

Congratulations
You stand right here and now
Walking on two legs for the first time
you'll walk on with your own feet
Let's go to tomorrow
Move on as you stumble

Cordless baby
Unimaginable high-tech you can't take your eyes off of for five seconds
Crying for outrageous reasons and laughing so much
over simple things

When you smile, everyone smiles
Fooling around day and night
you give me mysterious strength
You can't wear your clothes, though

Congratulations
You learnt romance now
and say, "There's no eternal love"
with a heart about to break
You break up, but you're alive

Congratulations
You stand still now
and mutter to yourself that you're no good
Mixed with your sighs, you kick a stone
You've kept on running
You'll want the bygone days

You're trying to leave
your own traces
in this world now, so both hands
are wounded, but...

Congratulations
The fear and sorrow in the days
that you've chosen
will someday get and embrace someone
It'll be in both hands
just like mom on that day

Cordless baby
Don't make a face like you're living alone
Come back to the place waiting for you
to charge yourself

* [1] - While "Totsukitooka" does mean October 10th, its meaning is a bit more complicated. It has the meaning of "babies born on October 10, supposedly conceived on New Year's Day", and can also mean the "normal gestation time"
