Arm's Length
Arm's Length の歌詞と和訳（Sam Fender）
Artist: Sam Fender
親密さを求めながら、近づかれると反射的に距離を取ってしまう——そんな回避的な態度（avoidant／flighty）を自己認識として据えた関係性の歌。恋愛を“情熱”としてだけ描かず、境界線（自分の領域を守る必要）と、相手に理解される怖さを同時に扱う。大きな破局よりも、日々の距離感の調整に焦点があり、アルバムの中では比較的“私的で現実的な恋愛の章”として機能する。
I was making out then that I was fine and light
平気だって顔をして、軽くやり過ごそうとしてた
Oh, maybe you can do anything that you want tonight
今夜は、好きにしていいよ、なんて言いながら
But, oh, do you have to know me, know me inside out?
でもさ、そこまで俺を知る必要あるか？
Do you have to know me, know me inside out?
中身まで全部、知り尽くさなきゃダメなのか？
I was holding on hope, for a kind of friend
せめて「優しい友だち」くらいを、期待してた
Oh, the blazing inferno of fuck ups kind of got in my way
でも失敗の業火が、行く手を焼き尽くした
So do you have to know me, know me inside out?
それでも、俺を全部知らなきゃいけないのか？
Do you have to know me, know me inside out
表も裏も、骨の中まで
To have a good time?
楽しむために？
Holding hands back of the ride home
帰りの車の後部座席で、手をつないで
Baby, you're looking like you're out to kill
ベイビー、まるで何かを壊しに来たみたいな目だ
I'm selfish and I'm lonely
俺は身勝手で、孤独だ
Arm's length, small talk and then some company
腕一本分の距離、軽い世間話、それから形だけの誰か
But oh, do you have to know me, know me inside out?
でもさ、そこまで知る必要があるか？
Do you have to know me, know me inside out?
俺の中身を全部？
Do you have to know me, know me, know me?
そんなに、知りたいのか？
Do you have to know me, know me, know me?
何もかも？
Do you have to know me, know me inside out
裏返しにするほどに？
To have a good time?
楽しむために？
Oh, to have a good time?
なあ、それが「いい時間」なのか？
Have a good time
いい時間を過ごすって
Have a good time
そういうことなのか？
Do you have to know me, know me, know me?
そこまで俺を知る必要あるか？
Do you have to know me, know me, know me?
Do you have to know me, know me, know me?
Do you have to know me, know me, know me?
Do you have to know me, know me, know me?
Do you have to know me, know me, know me?
Do you have to know me, know me, know me?
Do you have to know me, know me, know me?
