Decive

Someone please tell me I’m not the only one who has a tough time with Sally lyrics, specifically ワニ and shuriken’s. Sometimes I tend to overthink things as well. 泡沫 was relatively easy and made sense too, but Wan~椀~.. We don’t speak about Wan~椀~.

真夜中 孤独の鐘
捕まえたガラクタの心
割れやすいから
せめて 優しく触れ

mayo naka kodoku no kane
tsukamaeta garakuta no kokoro
ware yasui kara
semete yasashiku fure

The heart of rubbish that the bell of solitude
caught in the dead of night
is very easy to break so
I’ll at least be gentle with it

可憐に堕ちて往く姿
見守り届けてあげる
かわいい 玩具らしくね
ねぇ逆さまにグルグル舞って
言われたとおりにして?

karen ni ochite yuku sugata
mi mamori todokete ageru
kawaii omocha rashiku ne
nee sakasama ni guruguru matte
iwareta toori ni shite?

The figure sweetly descends down
I’ll watch over it as I send it for you
like a cute plaything right?
Hey, dance for me, upside down in circles
Will you do as you’ve been told?

狂い出した 時計の針
騙されてる キミに乗せて
流し込んだ 創り話
思い通り もうじき変わる

kurui dashita tokei no hari
damasareteru kimi ni nosete
nagashi konda tsukuri banashi
omoi doori moujiki kawaru

The hands of the clock put forth madness
it’s placed onto you, you’re being deceived
Made up tales were poured down your throat
Just as I want, soon things will change

いつから 描いていた
幻や ガラクタの心
割れやすいから
此処で 優しく撫で

itsu kara egaiteita
maboroshi ya garakuta no kokoro
ware yasui kara
koko de yasashiku nade

 

The heart of illusions and rubbish
drawn from some time ago
is very easy to break so
right here I’ll stroke it gently

役目 終えるその時まで
見守り続けてあげる
かわいい 道具らしくね
さぁ逆さまに変わる世界
言われたとおりにして?

yakume oeru sono toki made
mi mamori tsudzukete ageru
kawaii omocha rashiku ne
saa sakasama ni kawaru sekai
iwareta toori ni shite?

Until the time when I’ve ended my role
I’ll continue to watch over and protect you
just like a cute tool right?
Come now, the world will turn upside down
will you do as your told?

壊れかけた 時計の針
踊り続けた キミに深く
注ぎ込んだ 毒の蜜で
思い通り もうじき叶う

koware kaketa tokei no hari
odori tsudzuke kimi ni fukaku
sosogi konda doku no mitsu de
omoi doori moujiki kanau

The hands of the clock are in ruins
I continue to dance closely to you
A poison nectar was poured down your throat
Just as I want, soon my wish will come true

狂い出した 時計の針
騙されてる キミに乗せて
流し込んだ 創り話
思い通り もうじき変わる

kurui dashita tokei no hari
damasareteru kimi ni nosete
nagashi konda tsukuri banashi
omoi doori moujiki kawaru

The hands of the clock put forth madness
it’s placed onto you, you’re being deceived
Made up tales were poured down your throat
Just as I want, soon things will change

恨まれたって
留まる理由見つからない
記憶や笑顔さえ 切り裂き
嘘つきで 本当を今

uramareta tte
todomaru riyuu mitsukaranai
kioku ya egao sae kiri saki
usotsuki de honto o ima

I’ve held this grudge
I can’t find any reason to be confined here
I’ll tear even memories and smiles to shreds
As a deceiver, I’ve now

さらけ出した 夢を纏う
踊り続け キミと繋ぐ
注ぎ込んだ 毒の蜜で
思い通り もうじき叶う 全てが

sarake dashita yume o matou
odori tsudzuke kimi to tsunagu
sosogi konda doku no mitsu de
omoi doori moujiki kanau subete ga

exposed the truth, clad in dreams
I continue to dance connected to you
With the poison nectar was poured down your throat
just as I want, soon my wish will come true, it all will

complicated

I don’t have much to say here, but that sequence of “kawaru noni” at the end really hooked me, plus, it’s Itori.

Notes: The last sequence of “kawaru noni” at the end, while it all essentially means “change,” those kanji are all used for different things, so I attempted to translate it to reflect the wording as best I could. Maybe I should have just kept it all as “change” though. Edit: I decided to do so

I want to rewrite it all
I want it to bring it to deletion
The history that you walked through
the weight of tracks you left
everything

movin’ out and steppin’ out
everything is goin’ down
stop treating me like a mad

Even though I only have a single wish
Even though I’m just sinking into sorrow
I’ll rewrite those twisted wounds
How many times will I have to laugh?

迷い始めてる
でもなかったことにはできないよ
一歩踏み出せば
君が望んだ世界の色に変わるのに
変わるのに

mayoi hajimeteru
demo nakatta koto ni wa dekinai yo

kimi ga nozonda sekai no iro ni kawaru noni

Though I’m beginning to lose my way
I can’t do anything with what didn’t exist
Even though if I were to take a single step forward
everything would change into the colour of the world you desire

movin’ out and steppin’ out
everything is goin’ down
stop treating me like a mad
never ever do, all right?

movin’ down and steppin’ down

coming to be sinfully and sadly stained black

I can’t do anything with what didn’t exist
Even though if I were to take a single step forward
everything would change into the colour of the world I desire
Everything would change
Everything would change
Everything would change
Everything would change
Everything would change
Everything would change

 …I’m losing my mind!

Sweet Dreams

I’ve always enjoyed lyrics about dreams, dreams are really fascinating to me. If you’ve never had a lucid dream before, you’re really missing out. It’s such a unique experience.

昔の幻(ぼく)が笑う
指差した先に
夢が
あっただろう
つかめただろう
今は遠い幻で

mukashi no boku ga warau
yubi sashita saki ni
yume ga
atta darou
tsukameta darou
ima wa tooi maboroshi de

The phantom of me from the past laughs
At the end of where it pointed at
there was
a dream wasn’t there?
It was graspable wasn’t it?
But now it exists as a far illusion

言葉にしたら壊れてくのに
形にしなきゃ見えもしないのに
隙間に浮かぶ不確かな声
抱え込むのは淡い夜の夢

kotoba ni shitara kowarete ku noni
katachi ni shinakya mie mo shinai noni
sukima ni ukabu fu tashika na koe
kake komu no wa awai yoru no yume

Even though if I put it into words it will get destroyed
Even though I can’t even see it, I need to give it shape
An unreliable voice rises up through the gap
What I’m holding with me are dreams of that faint night

昔の幻(ぼく)が笑う
指差した先に
何が
あっただろう?
つかめただろう?
今は遠い幻で

mukashi no boku ga warau
yubi sashita saki ni
nani ga
atta darou?
tsukameta darou?
ima wa tooi maboroshi de

The phantom of me from the past laughs
At the end of where it pointed at
what was there?
What was there I wonder?
It was graspable wasn’t it?
But now it exists as a far illusion

長い眠りに つく前に
あなたの声が聞こえた気がした
何を頼りに 眠ったらいい
教えて sweet dreams

nagai nemuri ni tsuku mae ni
anata no koe ga kikoeta ki ga shita
nani o tayori ni nemuttara ii
oshiete sweet dreams

Before you were stuck in this long dream
I got a feeling I heard your voice
What should I rely on to sleep nicely?
Teach me of your sweet dreams

全て終わりに する為に
何かを諦めていた気がした
長い旅と 夢の終わる頃
聞かせて sweet dreams

subete owari ni suru tame ni
nani ka o akirameteita ki ga shita
nagai tabi to yume no owaru koro
kikasete sweet dreams

In order to put an end to everything
I got a feeling you had abandoned something
When your long journey and dreams come to an end
tell me about your sweet dreams

前を向いても何もないのに
振り返っても何もないのに
隙間に浮かぶ不確かな道
迷い込むのは遠い夜の夢

mae o muitemo nani mo nai noni
furikaettemo nani mo nai noni
sukima ni ukabu fu tashika na michi
mayoi komu no wa tooi yoru no yume

Even though there’s nothing when I look ahead
Even though there’s nothing when I look back
An unreliable path rises up through the gap
Where I’m straying into are dreams of that faint night

昔の幻(あなた)がいて
差し出された手に
何が
あっただろう?
つかめただろう?
今は遠い幻で

mukashi no anata ga ite
sashi dasareta te ni
nani ga
atta darou?
tsukameta darou?
ima wa tooi maboroshi de

The phantom of you is here
Presented in your hands
what was there?
What was there I wonder?
It was graspable wasn’t it?
But now it exists as a far illusion

遅い目覚めに 震えてる
あなたの声が聞こえた気がした
夢の世界の続きの歌を
聴かせて sweet dreams

osoi mezame ni furueteru
anata no koe ga kikoeta ki ga shita
yume no sekai no tsudzuki no uta o
kikasete sweet dreams

Quaking at your late awakening
I got a feeling I heard your voice
Let me hear the song of the sequel of the world
of your dreams, those sweet dreams

全て終わりに する為に
あなたは諦めていた気がした
物語と 夢の終わる頃
聞かせて sweet dreams

subete owari ni suru tame ni
anata wa akirameteita ki ga shita
monogatari to yume no owaru koro
kikasete sweet dreams

In order to put an end to everything
I got a feeling you had given up
When your story and dreams come to an end
tell me about your sweet dreams

君はひとりで
まだ何を探しているの
終わるはずのない
物語 信じたまま

kimi wa hitori de
mada nani o sagashiteiru no
owaru hazu no nai
monogatari shinjita mama

Just what are you
still searching for, all alone?
I remained believing that
your story will never end

長い眠りに つく前に
あなたの声が聞こえた気がした
何を頼りに 眠ったらいい
教えて sweet dreams

nagai nemuri ni tsuku mae ni

Before you were stuck in this long dream
I got a feeling I heard your voice

When your long journey and dreams come to an end
tell me about your sweet dreams

silent alarm

A gag 悪訳 of Veto’s 悪訳, because I could hardly understand any of the english at first. This is my favourite song of his EP, though “Take a number!” is easier to get stuck in your head.

心待ち
背約を待ってる
この背約が落ちた
叫び声するけど僕の声が戻ってくる
君の声を聞きたいけど

Anticipate
Waiting for the broken promises
These broken promises have fallen down
I’m screaming out loud but my voice comes back
I want to hear your voice

なぜ君が喋らないの?
静粛はなぜか?
僕の言葉は君に着ける?
僕を聞こえる?

Why don’t you speak?
Why are you silent?
Can my voice reach?
Can you hear me?

なぜ君が喋らないの?
静粛はなぜか?
僕の言葉は君に着ける?
僕を聞こえる?

Why don’t you speak?
Why are you silent?
Can my voice reach?
Can you hear me?

静粛の警棒の中で皆が慌てる
耳を埋めるけどその言葉が痛い
その危惧をリセットして乗り越する日まで
自由になれるか分からない

In the silent alarm we are all scrambling
I cover my ears but those words still dismay
We delete and reset and we solve those fears
I don’t know if we’ll ever be free

「また同じ夢だ…」

“The same dream again and again…”

「いいえ、何もない。 ただの虚報だ。」

“No, sorry, it’s nothing. Just a false alarm.”

静粛の警棒の中で皆が慌てる
耳を埋めるけどその言葉が痛い
その危惧をリセットして乗り越する日まで
自由になれるか分からない

In the silent alarm we are all scrambling
I cover my ears but those words still dismay
We delete and reset and we solve those fears
I don’t know if we’ll ever be free

全部を消してリセットする
約束できるかもしれない
静粛の警棒の中で皆が慌てる
その日まで

If we turn it all off and reset
we might be able to promise again
In the silent alarm we are all scrambling
until that day
