I think I overlooked a few tracks from I, SCREAM. This album is better than I remember. This song seems to be about someone who feels that someone is out of their league, that the person is too good/perfect for the speaker, but the speaker tries her best to get that person’s attention anyways.

ゆらり　ゆら　ゆらゆら
ゆれる　光　流れて落ちる　光に
映り　ただ　ゆっくり
滲む　世界に　何を　落として

yurari yura yurayura
yureru hikari nagarete ochiru hikari ni
utsuri tada yukkuri
nijimu sekai ni nani o otoshite

Swaying, swaying back and forth
Swaying light reflecting in flowing and falling
light, merely at ease
What will I drop in this blurry world?

ゆらり　ゆら　ゆらゆら
ゆれる　気持ち　剥がれて落ちる　未来に
映り　何を願い　何を探したまま
ただ　ゆらゆら

yurari yura yurayura
yureru kimochi hagarete ochiru mirai ni
utsuri nani o negai nani o sagashita mama
tada yurayura

Swaying, swaying back and forth
Swaying feelings reflecting in a detaching and falling
future, what do you wish for? What have you been searching for
while simply swaying?

澄んだ　君の心は広すぎて
どんな言葉　一雫　落としたところで
何も変わらない

sunda kimi no kokoro wa hiro sugite
donna kotoba hitoshizuku otoshita tokoro de
nanimo kawaranai

Your cleared heart is much too spacious
No matter where I shed a drop of words
nothing changes

your voice it’s just like a WAVE
your smile it’s just like a WAVE
寄せては返して make waves to the beat
your sign it’s just like a WAVE
your call it’s just like a WAVE
揺さぶる　感じる make waves

your voice it’s just like a WAVE
your smile it’s just like a WAVE
yosete wa kaeshite make waves to the beat
your sign it’s just like a WAVE
your call it’s just like a WAVE
yusaburu kanjiru make waves

your voice it’s just like a WAVE
your smile it’s just like a WAVE
break onto the shore and retreat, make waves to the beat
your sign it’s just like a WAVE
your call it’s just like a WAVE
shake, feel, make waves

例え　届かなくても　泳ぎきってみせるから
心に伝えたい　次は僕からの WAVE

tatoe todokanakutemo oyogi kitte miseru kara
kokoro ni tsutaetai tsugi wa boku kara no WAVE

Because even if I can’t reach you, I’ll show you my swimming
I want to convey to your heart, next up is a WAVE from me

ゆらり　ゆら　ゆらゆら
ゆれる　ように　刺さって落ちる　心に
痛み　ただ　ゆっくり
甘い　痛みに　何を　求めて

yurari yura yurayura
yureru you ni sasatte ochiru kokoro ni
itami tada yukkuri
amai itami ni nani o motomete

Swaying, swaying back and forth
In my pierced and falling heart, as if it’s swaying
is a pain, simply at ease
What do you seek in this sweet pain?

ゆらり　ゆら　ゆらゆら
ゆらり　ゆらり　ゆらゆら　ゆれる　心は
ゆらり　君を願い　君を探したまま
ただ　ゆらゆら

yurari yura yurayura
yurari yurari  yurayura yureru kokoro wa
yurari kimi o negai kimi o sagashita mama
tada yurayura

Swaying, swaying back and forth
Swaying swaying, my swaying heart swaying back and forth
sways, wishes for you, has been searching for you
simply swaying back and forth

そうだ　僕の心は狭すぎて
君の言葉　一雫　落とされただけで
どこへも行けない

sou da boku no kokoro wa sema sugite
kimi no kotoba hitoshizuku otosareta dake de
doko e mo ikenai

That’s right, my heart is much too confined
With just a single drop of your words
I can’t go anywhere

your face it’s just like a WAVE
your style it’s just like a WAVE
波間に浮かんで make waves to the beat
your word it’s just like a WAVE
your dream it’s just like a WAVE
震える　感じる make waves

your face it’s just like a WAVE
your style it’s just like a WAVE
namima ni ukande make waves to the beat
your word it’s just like a WAVE
your dream it’s just like a WAVE
furueru kanjiru make waves

your face it’s just like a WAVE
your style it’s just like a WAVE
float on the waves, make waves to the beat
your word it’s just like a WAVE
your dream it’s just like a WAVE
shiver, feel, make waves

例え　叶わなくても　泳ぎきってみせるから
どうか響かせて　それは君からの WAVE

tatoe kanawanakutemo oyogi kitte miseru kara
douka hibikasete sore wa kimi kara no WAVE

Because even if my wish doesn’t come true, I’ll show you my swimming
Please let it resound, the WAVE from you

澄んだ　君の心は眩しくて
僕の心　一雫　落とすことなんて
許されないけど

sunda kimi no kokoro wa mabushikute
boku no kokoro hitoshizuku otosu koto nante
yurusarenai kedo

Your cleared up heart is dazzling
If I were to do something like shed a drop of my heart
I wouldn’t be forgiven however

your voice it’s just like a WAVE
your smile it’s just like a WAVE
寄せては返して make waves to the beat
your sign it’s just like a WAVE
your call it’s just like a WAVE
揺さぶる　感じる make waves

your voice it’s just like a WAVE
your smile it’s just like a WAVE
yosete wa kaeshite make waves to the beat
your sign it’s just like a WAVE
your call it’s just like a WAVE
yusaburu kanjiru make waves

your voice it’s just like a WAVE
your smile it’s just like a WAVE
break onto the shore and retreat, make waves to the beat
your sign it’s just like a WAVE
your call it’s just like a WAVE
shake, feel, make waves

例え　届かなくても　泳ぎきってみせるから
心に伝えたい　次は僕からの WAVE

tatoe todokanakutemo oyogi kitte miseru kara
kokoro ni tsutaetai tsugi wa boku kara no WAVE

Because even if I can’t reach you, I’ll show you my swimming
I want to convey to your heart, next up is a WAVE from me

Requested by Primity, it sounds somewhat like Kaguya is thinking about escaping the moon to find love in this song. Forgetting the past and moving on, being a bird trapped in a cage, changing the present, that kind of thing. “Good luck, all-seeing light” I imagine refers to the moon, she’s wishing a sort of farewell to it. Of course, I might be somewhat off on my interpretations though.

一人に　慣れたなんて
強がりですら　言えるようになった
素直に笑うには　少しだけれど
時が経ち過ぎてた

hitori ni nareta nante
tsuyogari desura ieru you ni natta
sunao ni warau ni wa sukoshi da keredo
toki ga tachi sugitea

“I’m used to being alone”
is just a bluff, but I’ve come to the point that I can say it
There are few times where I can honestly laugh
but time has passed by way too fast

すれ違いは　飽き飽きしてる
遠回りをし続けてた　だけど
それ程伝えたい　言の葉だから
「今」を変えられる
(触れないでね)
優しすぎると　壊れてしまうから

surechigai wa akiaki shiteru
toomawari o shi tsudzuketeta dakedo
sore hodo tsutaetai koto no ha dakara
「ima」 o kaerareru
(furenai de ne)
yasashi sugiru to kowarete shimau kara

I’m sick of crossing paths
I had just continued to go the long way around however
I want to convey my words to that extent so
I can change “the present”
(Don’t touch me)
because if you’re too kind I’ll end up falling apart

隠して　回り道して
いつでも　忘れないでいて
確かな背中合わせの
幸せに寄り添って
月夜には　お似合いね
だからこそ

kakushite mawarimichi shite
itsu demo wasurenai de ite
tashika na senaka awase no
shiawase ni yori sotte
tsukiyo ni wa oniai ne
dakara koso

Taking detours and hiding
Please always remember
Getting close to the happiness of
a certain back-to-back
It’s suitable for this moonlit night
for this reason

嘘吐きには　慣れてしまった
後ろ向きには生きたく無い　だから
籠の中の鳥は　来るとも知らない
誰かを待ってる
いつかの記憶は　いつもと違うから

usotsuki ni wa narete shimatta
ushiromuki ni wa ikitakunai dakara
kago no naka no tori wa kuru to mo shiranai
dare ka o matteru
itsu ka no kioku wa itsu mo to chigau kara

I ended up getting used to liars
because I don’t want to live looking behind my back
I’m waiting for somebody that doesn’t even know
if the bird in its cage will come
that’s because it’s memories from someday are different from usual

「今まで」忘れたくて
「これから」を忘れたくない
泣いてるあなた目がけて
唇を通せんぼ

「ima made」 wasuretakuta
「kore kara」 o wasuretakunai
naiteru anata megakete
kuchibiru o toosenbo

I want to forget “Everything up to now”
I want to remember “Everything from now”
I’m aiming at you as you cry
I’ll hush those lips

本当は永遠なんて　あるわけ無いじゃないの
(だから)泣かないで
(だから)泣かせないで
どうする事も出来る訳ない

honto wa eien nante aru wake nai janai no
(dakara) nakanai de
(dakara) nakasenai de
dou suru koto mo dekiru wake nai

The truth is, nothing like “eternity” could really exist, could it?
(and so) don’t cry
(and so) don’t let yourself cry
It’s not like there’s anything we can do

忘れたふりをしても
紡いだ糸は解かない
誰もがしてる様な
「普通」でいたいだけよ
いつか　きっと一人きりで
まだ泣いていると思うからこそ
そっと背中合わせに
ずっと　恋して　恋して　恋して　恋して　星を眺めたいの
(言葉は何もいらない　遍く光りよ幸あれ)
(私の帰る場所には　一人じゃない)

wasureta furi o shitemo
tsumuida ito wa hodokanai
dare mo ga shiteru you na
「futsuu」 de itai dake yo
itsu ka kitto hitori kiri de
mada naiteiru to omou kara koso
sotto senaka awase ni
zutto koi shite koi shite koi shite koi shite hoshi o nagametai no
(kotoba wa nani mo iranai amaneku hikari yo sachiare)
(watashi no kaeru basho ni wa hitori janai)

Even if I pretended I forgot
the yarn I spun won’t be undone
I just want to live “normally”
like everyone else does
Someday surely all alone
I think I’ll still be crying, because of that
I want to see the stars together
forever in love in love in love in love gently back to back
(I don’t need any words – good luck, all-seeing light)
(Where I’m going home to, I won’t be alone)

This song really sounds like it could be an anime opening, even the lyrics resemble one. I’m thinking of Railgun in particular though.

心を　一つに　できたなら
この世界に　溢れてる
哀しみだとか　涙とか　全部消してしまえるのかな
この痛みも　幻に　変わる日がきっと来るよ
揺れる世界に今　響いてく　独り　希望を願う歌

kokoro o hitotsu ni dekita nara
kono sekai ni afureteru
kanashimi da toka namida toka zenbu keshite shimaeru no kana
kono itami mo maboroshi ni kawaru hi ga kitto kuru yo
yureru sekai ni ima hibiite ku hitori kibou o negau uta

If I’ve managed to make my heart whole
then I wonder if I’ll be able to end up erasing
all the sadness and tears overflowing in this world
The day will surely come when this pain will become just a dream
In this shaking world, right now, my song of wishing for hope will ring

ひらひら舞い落ちてく　想い出　風の中
懐かしい香りがして　心を揺らす
この声を風に乗せ　どこかに届くなら
何かが変わる気がして　心を揺らす

hirahira mai ochite ku omoide kaze no naka
natsukashii kaori ga shite kokoro o yurasu
kono koe o kaze ni nose doko ka ni todoku nara
nani ka ga kawaru ki ga shite kokoro o yurasu

Memories flutter and dance down within the wind
A nostalgic scent is produced and shakes my heart
If I place my voice on the wind and send it off somewhere
I have a feeling something will change, and it’ll rock my heart

優しいあの夜空の星の記憶が
きら　きら　輝いてる

yasashii ano yozora no hoshi no kioku ga
kirakira kagayaiteru

My tender memories of the stars of that night sky go
twinkle twinkle, they glitter like that

傷つくばかりで　笑えずに　明けない夜　走ってる
哀しみだとか　涙とか　見えないほどの暗闇を
その痛みも　優しさに　変わる日がきっと来るよ
揺れる世界を今　越えていく　独り　強さを願う歌

kizutsuku bakari de waraezu ni akenai yoru hashitteru
kanashimi da toka namida toka mienai hodo no kurayami o
sono itami mo yasashisa ni kawaru hi ga kitto kuru yo
yureru sekai o ima koete yuku hitori tsuyosa o negau uta

I only got hurt, unable to laugh I’m running away from the endless night
Whether it’s sorrow or tears, the darkness is so dark I can’t see them
The day will surely come when even that pain will turn into kindness
I’ll exceed this shaking world, right now, with my song of wishing for strength

信じてた空の色　想い出　風の中
何かが終わる気がして　心を揺らす

shinjiteta sora no iro omoide kaze no naka
nani ka ga owaru ki ga shite kokoro o yurasu

Within the wind with my memories and the colours of the sky I believed in
I have a feeling something will end, and it’ll rock my heart

優しいあの日見せた笑顔が 今も
まだ　まだ　輝いてる

yasashii ano hi miseta egao ga ima mo
mada mada kagayaiteru

The gentle smile you showed me back then still
even, even now sparkles

素直になれずに　笑えずに　この世界で　迷ってる
哀しみだとか　涙とか　全部消してしまいたいよ

sunao ni narezu ni waraezu ni kono sekai de mayotteru
kanashimi da toka namida toka zenbu keshite shimaitai yo

Unable to be honest, unable to smile, I’m lost in this world
Whether it’s sorrow or tears, I want to end up erasing them all

この手をあげて　叫んだら
変わるものがあるのなら

kono te o agete sakendara
kawaru mono ga aru no nara

If I raise up my arms and let out a shout
if there’s anything thing that will change

滲む世界に今　響いてく　独り　希望を願う歌

nijimu sekai ni ima hibiite ku hitori kibou o negau uta

In this blurry world, right now, my song of wishing for hope will ring

傷つけたくない　ものばかり
傷つけてしまうんだね

kizutsuketakunai mono bakari
kuzutsukete shimau n da ne

The people I don’t want to hurt
I always end up giving pain to them don’t I?

哀しみだとか　涙とか　もう見たくないはずなのに

kanashimi da toka namida toka mou mitakunai hazu nanoni

Despite my intention to never want to see sadness or tears again

この痛みの　その意味を　解る日がいつか来たら

kono itami no sono imi o wakaru hi ga itsuka kitara

If the day when I understand the meaning of this pain someday comes

揺れる世界がほら　ささやくよ “強くなれる”と―

yureru sekai ga hora sasayaku yo “tsuyoku nareru” to

this shaking world will, look out, whisper “I can become strong”

心を　一つに　できたなら
この世界に　溢れてる
哀しみだとか　涙とか　全部消してしまえるのかな
この痛みも　幻に　変わる日がきっと来るよ
揺れる世界に今　響いてく　独り　希望を願う歌

kokoro o hitotsu ni dekita nara
kono sekai ni afureteru
kanashimi da toka namida toka zenbu keshite shimaeru no kana
kono itami mo maboroshi ni kawaru hi ga kitto kuru yo
yureru sekai ni ima hibiite ku hitori kibou o negau uta

If I’ve managed to make my heart whole
then I wonder if I’ll be able to end up erasing
all the sadness and tears overflowing in this world
The day will surely come when this pain will become just a dream
In this shaking world, right now, my song of wishing for hope will ring

I love when a good translation comes together. When the lyrics are so down to earth that it actually looks like you know what you’re doing.

暗がりで　膝抱えて
繋いでいた　夕日の色
誰にも　気にされないで
消えてなくなりたかった

kuragari de hiza kakaete
tsunaideta yuuhi no iro
dare ni mo ki ni sarenai de
kiete naku naritakatta

In the dark I held my knees
and connected the colours of sunset
With no one to care
I wanted to disappear and die off

捨てられないものばかり
集めては　微笑んでた
誰のための物語？
いつから迷い込んでた？

suterarenai mono bakari
atsumete wa hohoendeta
dare no tame no monogatari?
itsu kara mayoi kondeta?

I just can’t throw these things away
I smiled as I collected them
Just who’s sake is this story for?
How long has it been since I’ve gone astray?

あの日に浮かんだ笑い声
今の僕の悲鳴にも　似ていて

ano hi ni ukanda waraigoe
ima no boku no himei ni mo niteite

The laughter that floated around on that day
also resembles the shrieks of the present me

小さな部屋で　夢を散りばめて
願っていたの　ただ願っていたの
感情は消しておいて
心に突き刺さるから
ああ　今も

chiisa na heya de yume o chiri bamete
negatteita no tada negatteita no
kanjou wa keshite oite
kokoro ni tsuki sasaru kara
aa ima mo

Within this small room studded with dreams
I wished, I did nothing but wish
I’ll erase my emotions while I’m ahead
my heart will be impaled after all
Ah, even now

ienai

言えない

I can’t speak

心満たされないまま
繋いでいた　曇り空に
映した　幼さの色
ズレ始めた　物語

kokoro mitasarenai mama
tsunaideita kumorizora ni
utsushita osanasa no iro
zure hajimeta monogatari

Unable to fill my heart’s desires
colours of immaturity were reflected
in the connected cloudy sky
This story started to fall out of place

あからさまな結末に
おびえては　微笑んでた
僕のための物語
崩れて書き直すばかり

akarasama na ketsumatsu ni
obiete wa hohoendeta
boku no tame no monogatari
kuzurete kakinaosu bakari

They smile as I become afraid of
a plain and simple ending
This story is for my sake
merely crumbling and being rewritten

あの日に壊した笑い声
今の僕の悲鳴にも　聴こえて

ano hi ni kowashita waraigoe
ima no boku no himei ni mo kikoete

The laughter destroyed on that day
also sounds like the shrieks of the me now

小さな部屋で　星を散りばめて
祈っていたの　ただ祈っていたの
離れて　また近づいて
笑顔で　傷つけるから
ああ　今も

chiisa na heya de hoshi o chiri bamete
inotteita no tada inotteita no
hanarete mata chikadzuite
egao de kizutsukeru kara
aa ima mo

Within this small room studded with dreams
I prayed, I did nothing but pray
Growing apart and then drawing near again
they hurt me with their smiles after all
Ah, even now

癒えない

ienai

I’ll never heal

小さな部屋で　夢を散りばめて
願っていたの　ただ願っていたの
感情は消しておいて
心に突き刺さるから
ああ　今も

chiisa na heya de yume o chiri bamete
negatteita no tada negatteita no
kanjou wa keshite oite
kokoro ni tsuki sasaru kara
aa ima mo

Within this small room studded with dreams
I wished, I did nothing but wish
I’ll erase my emotions while I’m ahead
my heart will be impaled after all
Ah, even now

言えない

ienai

I can’t speak
