Under Control

問題なし、手は借ります

The eggs are counted and the milk is upright. Everything is under control, approximately—until the same offer of help finally gets a clearer answer.卵は数え終え、牛乳も立て直した。だいたい、ちゃんとコントロールできている。同じ手助けの申し出に、今度はもっと明快な返事をする。

Behind the Track楽曲の背景

The groceries have been collected and assigned new places. Apples form a committee; an orange has ambitions. Two hands are still exactly two, but a firmer declaration might make the arrangement feel more convincing.

The offer お手伝いしましょうか? first receives the familiar 大丈夫です. When the same question returns, the answer changes to はい、お願いします. Nothing has to become an emergency before a helping hand can be useful.

集め直した食料品に、新しい置き場所を決めていく。りんごは委員会を作り、オレンジは野心を抱く。手は相変わらず二本だが、もう少し強く言い切れば、この配置にも説得力が生まれるかもしれない。

最初の「お手伝いしましょうか?」には、いつもの「大丈夫です」。同じ質問が戻ってきた時、返事は「はい、お願いします」に変わる。緊急事態になっていなくても、手を借りることはできる。

Lyrics歌詞

Everything is under control

お手伝いしましょうか?
大丈夫です

The carton stands, the eggs are twelve
The bread has found a side
The apples form a committee
To choose where they will ride

The milk is upright once again
The receipt remains in sight
Every item has a place now
Some have chosen to unite

No problem, no emergency
No reason for alarm
The situation has a shape
And both my hands are occupied

Everything is under control

Under control, approximately
Everything has found a role
Eggs accounted, milk still sealed
Bread accepting the new fold

大丈夫です
Nothing here requires concern
Under control, approximately
With several items left to turn

One orange has ambitions
The onions vote to stay
The carton has an angle
But we’re proceeding anyway

The problem hasn’t grown at all
Only the answer’s voice
Two hands remain exactly two
This may affect my choice

No problem, no emergency
The status remains whole
A little louder should establish
Who is managing control

Everything is under control

Under control, approximately
Everything has found a role
Eggs accounted, milk still sealed
Bread accepting the new fold

大丈夫です
Nothing here requires concern
Under control, approximately
With several items left to turn

No rescue is required
No crisis has begun
Accepting one small favor
Is simply getting something done

A hand can still be useful
When nothing has gone wrong
The question can be simple
The answer needn’t be this long

Everything is under control

Under control, approximately
No proof required tonight
The eggs are twelve, the milk is sealed
Everything will be all right

大丈夫です
The phrase has done its part
Under control, approximately
With too much gathered in my arms

お手伝いしましょうか?
……はい、お願いします
