いつか消えていくとわかっていて
何を欲しがっていたんだろう
絡み付いた鎖を 嬉しそうに 泣きながら 抱きしめて

itsu ka kiete iku to wakatteite
nani o hoshigatteita n darou
karami tsuita kusari o ureshisou ni nakinagara daki shimete

Someday we’ll disappear, you understood that
What was it that you wanted I wonder
While crying you gladly embraced the chains twined around you

いつも消えていくとわかっていて
描いたはずの淡い心
混ぜた色は もうぐしゃぐしゃのまま 泣きながら 走り抜けた

itsu mo kiete iku to wakatteite
egaita hazu no awai kokoro
mazeta iro wa mou gushagusha no mama nakinagara hashiri nuketa

Things are always disappearing, you understood that
Your faint heart should have been painted
While crying you ran by as the stirred colours were already a mess

時が
経てば きっと見えるよ 鮮やかな色

toki ga
tateba kitto mieru yo azayaka na iro

But if time
were to pass I’m sure you’d see a brilliant colour

巡り巡る 命の絆を この風に乗せ 繋いでいくのさ
終わる事は 悲しいことじゃない 失う物は 何もない
巡り巡る 未来のパズルを この歌に乗せ 繋いでいくのさ
物言わぬ花びら 教えてくれた 生きる事の 美しさを

meguri meguru inochi no kizuna o kono kaze ni nose tsunaide iku no sa
owaru koto wa kanashii koto janai ushinau mono wa nani mo nai
meguri meguru mirai no pazuru o kono uta ni nose tsunaide iku no sa
mono iwanu hanabira oshiete kureta ikiru koto no utsukushisa o

Going round and round, take life’s bonds and let them fly on this wind, they’re all tied you see
Things that come to an end don’t have to be sad, there’s nothing to be lost
Going round and round, take the future’s puzzles and let them fly on this song, they’re all tied you see
The flower petals without saying a word taught me the beauty of living

いつか枯れていくとわかっていて
だから欲しがっていたんだろう
愛せない言葉を 嬉しそうに 泣きながら 抱きしめて

itsu ka karete iku to wakatteite
dakara hoshigatteita n darou
aisenai kotoba o ureshisou ni nakinagara daki shimete

Someday we’ll whither away, you understood that
it was for that reason that you had desires wasn’t it?
While crying you gladly embraced close those unlovable words

いつもそばにいると思っていた
忘れたはずの幼い心
混ぜた音は もうめちゃくちゃのまま 泣きながら 走り抜けた

itsu mo soba ni iru to omotteita
wasureta hazu no osanai kokoro
mazeta oto wa mou mechakucha no mama nakinagara hashiri nuketa

I’ll always be by your side, you had thought that
Your young heart should have forgotten
While crying you ran by as the blended sounds were already scrambled

だけど
いつか きっと会えるよ 新しい歌

dakedo
itsu ka kitto aeru yo atarashii uta

However
someday we’ll surely be able to see a brand new song

巡り巡る 命の螺旋を この風に乗せ 繋いでいくのさ
消える事は 悲しい事じゃない 失う色は 何もない
巡り巡る 未来の奇跡を この歌に乗せ 繋いでいくのさ
舞い上がる花びら 教えてくれた 願う事の 美しさを

meguri meguru inochi no rasen o kono kaze ni nose tsunaide iku no sa
kieru koto wa kanashii koto janai ushinau iro wa nani mo nai
meguri meguru mirai no kiseki o kono uta ni nose tsunaide iku no sa
mai agaru hanabira oshiete kureta negau koto no utsukushisa o

Going round and round, take the spiral of life and let it fly on this wind, it’s connected you see
Things that fade away don’t have to be sad, there’s no colours to be lost
Going round and round, take the future’s miracles and let them fly on this song, they’re all tied you see
The flower petals dancing and soaring high taught me the beauty of making wishes

散りゆく 花の色 一瞬の まぶしさに
心奪われたまま 『その時』 まで 生きている

chiri yuku hana no iro isshun no mabushisa ni
kokoro ubawareta mama 『sono toki』 made ikiteiru

When the colours of the falling flowers in a moment of radiance
have stolen my heart, until “that time” I’ll be alive

時が
経てば きっと見えるよ 鮮やかな色

toki ga
tateba kitto mieru yo azayaka na iro

But if time
were to pass I’m sure you’d see a brilliant colour

巡り巡る 命の絆を この風に乗せ 繋いでいくのさ
終わる事は 悲しいことじゃない 失う物は 何もない
巡り巡る 未来のパズルを この歌に乗せ 繋いでいくのさ
物言わぬ花びら 教えてくれた 生きる事の 美しさを

Going round and round, take life’s bonds and let them fly on this wind, they’re all tied you see
Things that come to an end don’t have to be sad, there’s nothing to be lost

World Deletion

If you’ve ever wondered how good you are at speaking Japanese, try singing along. To say this song is fast paced would be an understatement.

信じたふりをしただけ わかったふりをしただけ
今は浮かんでいたいだけ それだけなのに

shinjita furi o shita dake wakatta furi o shita dake

I only pretended to believe, I only pretended to understand
Right now I just want to float about, that and that alone

曖昧なものばかり 真実のふりをしてる

Although everything is unclear, all just pretending to be real
Teach me the point of truth, before I drown in all the tears I’ve shed

My existence, your existence, I wish everything would be deleted
Distance and space, borderlines too, I wish everything would be deleted
With a “good bye” or with a “good night” if it all became deleted it’d be great
because even if we were deleted nothing would change in this world

罪の存在も 過ぎた偶像も 全部消えちゃえばいい

I don’t need any “good byes” or any “thank yous” because after all
in that kind of world I’ll become whole and live on

Right now I just want to be asleep, that and that alone

目が覚める事はない このまま溶けてしまいたい

Although there’s nothing to wake me up, I just want to fade away like this
Teach me the point of the world, before I break myself in this broken world

DEATHANDREBIRTH

It’s important to note that this is an arrange of the Ten Desires stage 3 theme, Yoshika’s stage, so you should really read this from her perspective.

This is definitely the hardest song from this album though, I can already tell. I’ll admit right now, my weakest point in Japanese grammar would probably have to be the te verb + は thing, and they’ve really filled this song full of that kind of thing.

きっと夢で忘れたように 夢も忘れて心に触れた
言葉の意味 はき違えては また忘れては どこ行こうか
きっと影がそうしたように 夢もそうして心壊れた
こだわる意味 行き違う日々 また忘れてた これでさようなら

kitto yume de wasureta you ni yume mo wasurete kokoro ni fureta
kotoba no imi haki chigaete wa mata wasurete wa doko ikou ka
kitto kage ga sou shita you ni yume mo shite kokoro kowareta
kodawaru imi iki chigau hibi mata wasureteta kore de sayounara

I’m sure, forgetting dreams just as I forgot as I dreamt, my heart was touched
Since I’m mixing up and again forgetting the meanings of words, where shall we go?
I’m sure, with the dream doing just as the shadows did, my heart broke
Fixated on meanings, the days pass each other, I’ve forgotten again, with this it’s goodbye

でも まだ そばにいる 気がしては 枯れていく
この想いは勘違い?
閉じる世界 望んでたのは 罪の色 終わる命

demo mada soba ni iru ki ga shite wa karete yuku

Though I’m still by your side, I feel I’m withering away
Am I mistaken with these feelings?
In this closing world, what I’ve wished for is, a sinful colour, a life that ends

I’m here for you 誰かのためだけに
I’m still waiting for you 生きたかったのに
どうして どうして 涙が 止まらなかったの
I’m here for you 生きていたのかさえ
I’m still waiting for you 忘れて願う

DEATHANDREBIRTHDEATHANDREBIRTHDEATHANDREBIRTH

I’m here for you, just for someone’s sake
I’m still waiting for you, though I wanted to live
why didn’t, why didn’t, the tears ever stop?
I’m here for you, whether I was even alive
I’m still waiting for you, I forget and wish
DEATHANDREBIRTHDEATHANDREBIRTHDEATHANDREBIRTH

もっと愛を と求めすぎて また傷つけて途方にくれた

“Give me more love” I overwished, once again giving pain, I was at a loss
Even if I mistake the lies from that smile, shall we continue pretending I believed you?
Burning the colour of the knife firmly grasped in my hands into my eyes, where will it go?
Lies are scattered about, the flowers won’t say a word, may we meet again, with this it’s goodbye

Am I mistaken with these feelings?
In this falling world, what I’ve wished for is, a deceitful colour, a life that ends

I’m here for you あなたのためだけに

I’m still waiting for you, I forget and laugh

Really good lyrics this time around. This song somewhat reminds me of the Spicy and Wolf opening, Tabi no Tochuu, but much more lonesome.

何もかも嫌で逃げてきたのに
あの日の両手に余るほどの lie
一人きりでも 歩いてみせる
自分の羽で 羽ばたいてみせる

nani mo kamo iya de nigete kita noni
ano hi no ryoute ni amaru hodo no lie
hitori kiri demo aruite miseru
jibun no hane de habataite miseru

Despite running this far because I detested everything
the lie from that day has become too much to bear with these hands
Even though I’m all alone, I’ll show you that I’ll walk on
With my own wings, I’ll show you that I’ll flap them

声にならない声 何度も上げて
風の中 探して 泣いて
本当はどこかで わかっていても
あるはずのないもの それは…

koe ni naranai koe nando mo agete
kaze no naka sagashite naite
hontou wa doko ka de wakatteitemo
aru hazu no nai mono sore wa…

Over and over, I’ll raise this soundless voice
and I’ll search and I’ll cry in the wind
Even though somewhere inside I understand the truth
it’s something that I know should not be…

何もかも捨てて生きてきたのに
今では両手に余るほどの i (アイ)
一人だけでも 歩いていける
自分の羽で 羽ばたいていける

nani mo kamo sutete ikite kita noni
ima de wa ryoute ni amaru hodo no ai
hitori dake demo aruite ikeru
jibun no hane de habataite ikeru

Despite throwing everything away and living this long
nowadays I’ve become too much to bear with these hands
Even though I’m just by myself, I’m able to walk on
With my own wings, I’m able to flap them

声にならない声 どこかで聴いた
風の中 迷って 泣いて
心の片隅に 残った願い
あるはずのないもの それは…

koe ni naranai koe doko ka de kiita
kaze no naka mayotte naite
kokoro no katasumi ni nokotta negai
aru hazu no nai mono sore wa…

From somewhere I listened to a soundless voice
I became lost and I cried in the wind
A wish remained in the depths of my heart
it was something that I knew should not be…

it was gone with the wind…

声にならない声 何度も上げて
風の中 探して 泣いて
