And Other

Kafka over there had recently received a request to finish up the remaining songs of the FELT discography, but decided to pass the job down to me instead, and so here we are. The brilliant “flower” in this song would seem to be that person the speaker wants to meet here, lighting up her life and all the people around.

雲の隙間に差し込む 暖かな光
遥か彼方で輝く 君にただ逢いたくて

kumo no sukima ni sashi komu atataka na hikari
haruka kanata de kagayaku kimi ni tada aitakute

Shining in the openings between the clouds was a warm light
Radiant far off in the distance, I only want to see you again

生まれ変わった姿に 皆 目を逸らした
熱く溢れた傷みが 現在の僕 造り出した

umare kawatta sugata ni minna me o sorashita
atsuku afureta itami ga ima no boku tsukuri dashita

Everyone cast their eyes aside to my newborn look
The pain that scorchingly flooded out is what made me who I am today

人の心を 人の体を
潤す一輪の華が 美しくて
羨ましくて 遠く眺めているの..

hito no kokoro o hito no karada o
uruosu ichirin no hana ga utsukushikute
urayamashikute tooku nagameteiru no..

The single blossom that enriches people’s hearts
and enriches their bodies is beautiful
and enviable, and gazing far away..

夢の中では幾度も 君に触れていた
頬に震えた雫が 気にもならないほどに

yume no naka de wa ikudo mo kimi ni fureteita
hoho ni furueta shizuku ga ki ni mo naranai hodo ni

In my dreams countless times, I had felt you
The teardrop that shook on my cheek wasn’t anything of concern

吹き抜ける風追い越し 願い伝えたら
眩しい空へと届けて 手をかざし目覚めるよう

fuki nukeru kaze oi koshi negai tsutaetara
mabushii sora e to todokete te o kazashi mezameru you

If I send out wishes faster than the blowing wind
it looks like they’ll be able to reach the dazzling sky, and I’ll hold up my hands and wake up

胸を焦がした 甘い記憶と
ほろ苦い雫 萃めて時を戻すことが 出来たら
この手 何掴むだろう

mune o kogashita amai kioku to
horonigai shizuku atsumete toki o modosu koto ga dekitara
kono te nani tsukamu darou

If I could gather the sweet memories
that I yearned for, and the bittersweet teardrops, and turn back time
what would these hands then grasp I wonder

星降る夜に まばゆく咲いた
君の光を浴びたなら 強い筈の
心を優しい 雨が溶かしはじめる

hoshi furu yoru ni mabayuku saita
kimi no hikari o abita nara tsuyoi hazu no
kokoro o yasashii ame ga tokashi hajimeru

On the night studded with stars, you bloomed blindingly
If I bathed in your light, then a gentle rain
would begin to melt my heart that should be strong

人の心を 人の体を
潤す一輪の華が 美しくて
羨ましくて 遠く眺めているの..

hito no kokoro o hito no karada o
uruosu ichirin no hana ga utsukushikute
urayamashikute tooku nagameteiru no..

The single blossom that enriches people’s hearts
and enriches their bodies is beautiful
and enviable, and gazing far away..

砂時計 | Hourglass

Lyrics and song posted early on Wani’s twitter page! Should probably note here I’m not familiar at all with the ISC story, even less so than DDC’s, so I don’t really have any context to work off of this time nor an analysis to make. Nice song though.

あなたの心に触れて 確かめた答え
離れ離れになっても
無い事に出来ない

anata no kokoro ni furete tashikameta kotae
hanarebanare ni nattemo
nai koto ni dekinai

I felt your heart and had confirmed your answer
Even if we become separated
this can’t turn into nothing

もしもなら間逆の未来を
叶えたい 創り変えて 企んで

moshi mo nara magyaku no mirai o
kanaetai tsukuri kaete takurande

If you happen to want to grant this wish
for an opposite future, then invent and remake it anew

星が綺麗 流れる空 今になって
悔やむ言葉 反対の意味 気付いて

hoshi ga kirei nagareru sora ima ni natte
kuyamu kotoba hantai no imi kidzuite

The stars are pretty, streaming in the sky, after all this time
Realize the opposing meanings of those regretful words

夢を見てた 何もかもが輝いてる
だから 砂時計を 逆さまにして 戻して

yume o miteta nani mo kamo ga kagayaiteru
dakara suna dokei o sakasama ni shite modoshite

I had a dream, where everything in the world was shining
So flip over the hourglass and turn it all back

忘れないの伝えてる
指きって もっと 思い出よりも
隣で微笑っていて

wasurenai no tsutateru
yubikitte motto omoide yori mo
tonari de waratteite

Pinky promise me telling that
you’ll never forget, longer, rather than in memories
stay smiling by my side

さっきまで全てに触れて
感じてた気持ち もう
あなたに映る景色 何も残せないの

sakki made subete ni furete
kanjiteta kimochi mou
anata ni utsuru keshiki nani mo nokosenai no

Until just now I felt everything
and sensed your feelings, can
nothing anymore be left behind in your inner scenery?

嘘じゃない 間逆の世界で
迎えたい 創り変えて 企んで

uso janai magyaku no sekai de
mukaetai tsukuri kaete takurande

It’s not a joke, I want to go and meet you
in an opposite world, invent and remake it anew

星が涙 流れる空 夜に降って
悔やむ言葉 反対の意味 気付いて?

hoshi ga namida nagareru sora yoru ni futte
kuyamu kotoba hantai no imi kidzuite?

The stars are tears streaming in the sky, raining down at night
Do you realize the opposing meanings of those regretful words?

夢を見てた 何もかもが輝いてる
だから 砂時計を逆さまにして 戻して

yume o miteta nani mo kamo ga kagayaiteru
dakara suna dokei o sakasama ni shite modoshite

I had a dream, where everything in the world was shining
So flip over the hourglass and turn it all back

忘れないの伝えてる
指きって もっと 思い出よりも
隣で微笑っていて

wasurenai no tsutaeteru

F to bloodstain

Ranko x Luna Dial arrangements are always the best. Check out Clockup Flowers by Shibayan too, that’s a great one. Back to the track at hand though, this song would seem to be about Sakuya before she was taken in by the Scarlet household, as evidenced by her talking about not being loved or accepted, and how she just then discovered that her new power was magic. It could also be taken as Sakuya being used as a mere tool by Remilia, if you were to think of the “that” as fate and such. God only knows what “F” means in this, but it’s definitely in a state of being unstained with blood.

(On my sleeve, It’s my fate. It gives me a reason.
I drive my soul and whole my world.)

この手の鈍い輝きを握りしめ
すべてを染め上げよう。

kono te no nibui kagayaki o nigiri shime
subete o some ageyou.

I’ll firmly grasp this dull gleam in my hand
I shall stain everything, all of it.

私のこの身体を
傷つけるものなど在りはしない。

watashi no kono karada o
kizutsukeru mono nado ari wa shinai.

There’s nothing that exists
that’ll wound this here body of mine

この世界において、私は唯一つ全てであるから。

kono sekai ni oite, watashi wa tada hitotsu subete de aru kara.

Because, here in this world, I am one and all.

不幸は、月の照らす”凶器”の響き。

fukou wa, tsuki no terasu “kyouki” no hibiki.

Misfortune is an echo of the “deadly weapon” the moon shines on.

私に仇なすことは
生存放棄の試しに相違ない。

watashi ni ada nasu koto wa
seizon houki no tameshi ni soui nai.

To become a foe of mine
is no different than an attempt to abandon your life

なぜなら、
この世界において、私は唯一つ全てであるから。

naze nara,
kono sekai ni oite, watashi wa tada hitotsu subete de aru kara.

If you ask why,
it’s because, here in this world, I am one and all.

“それ”に特化させるごとに。
思考は収束させて。
そして、また、その価値は磨り減って、稀薄に。

“sore” ni tokka saseru goto ni.
shikou wa shuusoku sasete.
soshite, mata, sono kachi wa surihette, kihaku ni.

With each cause of specialization in “that”.
My thoughts create a resolution.
And then, again, the value of that is reduced, to near nothing.

貴女の時間も私のもの…
つまりは、勝ち目は、無い。と知るがいい。

anata no jikan mo watashi no mono…
tsumari wa, kachime wa, nai. to shiru ga ii.

Your time as well belongs to me…
To sum it up, your chance to win, is zilch. You had best know.

緋色の花を咲かせるがごとく。
最後の《メイド秘技》は私が繰ろう。

hiiro no hana o sakaseru ga gotoku.
saigo no ayatsuri tooru watashi ga kurou.

Just like making a scarlet flower bloom.
My final 《maid secret technique》 manipulation, is what I shall refer to.

その身を染めあげよう。
歪なほどに美しく、その彩、鮮血く鮮血やかに。

sono mi o some ageyou.
ibitsu na hodo ni utsukushiku, sono iro, akaku azayaka ni.

Let us stain that body of yours.
To the point of being twisted, beautifully, in scarlet, vivid fresh blood.

振り切れた振り子宛らに。
すべての「F」を塗りつぶせ。

furi kireta furiko sanagara ni.
subete no 「F」 o nuri tsubuse.

Just like a pendulum that’s made a full cycle.
I’ll smear out the entire “F”.

時間を止めても。
未来を縮めても。

jikan o tometemo.
mirai o chijimetemo.

Even if I stop time.
Even if shorten the future.

私は、“最も忌み嫌う存在”から逃れられずに。

watashi wa, watashi kara nogarerarezu ni.

I am unable to escape from who I am, “a most detested being”.

私のこの行いに、
意味を求めることに意味はない。

watashi no kono okonai ni
imi o motomeru koto ni imi wa nai.

There’s no point to seeking
a meaning in these deeds I carry out.

幾度の、変遷の果て、それを探すことに価値を失くしたから。

ikudo no, hensen no hate, sore o sagasu koto ni kachi o nakushita kara.

Because you see, the end of countless transitions, I got rid of the value in searching for that.

“それ”に傾けるごとに。
思考は単純化して。
そして、また、その尊厳は磨り減って、卑賤に。

“sore” ni katamukeru goto ni.
shikou wa tanjunka shite.
soshite, mata, sono imi wa suri hette, hisen ni.

With each concentration on “that”.
My thoughts become simple.
And then, again, the meaning, the dignity of that is reduced, to lowliness.

貴女の時間も私のもの…
持ちうる、残機の総てを使い果たせ。

anata no jikan mo watashi no mono…
mochi uru, inochi no subete o tsukai hatase.

Your time as well belongs to me…
It’s possible for me possess, now waste away all your remaining life.

精緻なオブジェを創るがごとく。
最後の《メイド秘技》は私が演ろう。

seichi na obuje o tsukuru ga gotoku.
saigo no satsujin tooru watashi ga yarou.

Just like creating a fine work of art.
The final 《maid secret technique》 killing, is what I shall perform.

「すべてがF」では、白すぎるから。
誰しも秘める美しきその彩を添えてみせるのだ。

「subete ga F」 de wa, shirosugiru kara.
dareshimo himeru utsukushiki sono iro o soete miseru no da.

Because with “everything an F”, it’s much too white.
I’ll decorate with the beautiful colour everyone hides within

食い違った歯車、宛らに
すべての「F」を塗りつぶせ。

kui chigatta haguruma, sanagara ni
subete no 「F」 o nuri tsubuse.

Just like gears running against each other
I’ll smear out all the “F”.

何人も受けいれず、何人も愛せずに。
…ゆえに、それらは、それ以上のものではない。

dare mo uke irezu, dare mo aisezu ni.
…yue ni, sorera wa, sore ijou no mono de wa nai.

Nobody will accept me, nobody will give love.
…Therefore, as for them, they’re nothing any greater.

或いは、これこそが。
…きっと、魔法なのだ。

arui wa, kore koso ga.
…kitto, mahou nano da.

Perhaps, this is it.
…Surely, this is magic.

この袖に掲げる通りに、全てを染め上げよう。

kono sode ni kakageru doori ni, subete o some ageyou.

In accordance with what’s hiding up my sleeve, I shall stain everything.

この手の鈍い輝きを握りしめ、
すべての「F」を、塗りつぶせ。

kono te no nibui kagayaki o nigiri shime,
subete no 「F」 o, nuri tsubuse.

I’ll firmly grasp this dull gleam in my hand
I’ll smear out the all the “F”.

宵闇の 影を切り取る 言の葉の | Of Words That Cut Down the Shadows of Twilight

Notes: Though the 誘え is in imperative form there, I figure that was just to bust a rhyme with へ, rather than actually commanding to “lure towards the past”.

暗い夜の風が
瞬いて
あるはずのものを
探してる

kurai yoru no kaze ga
matataite
aru hazu no mono o
sagashiteru

In the dark night the wind
twinkles
searching for a thing that
should be

見えないわけじゃない
ただ見たくない

mienai wake janai
tada mitakunai

It’s not like I can’t see it
I just don’t want to

今はそれでいい
後悔は明日すればいい

ima wa sore de ii
koukai wa ashita sureba ii

I’m fine with that now
I just need to put off regrets until tomorrow

夜の色を好きな色へ
塗り替えて
隠せばいいよ
何もかもが終わる

yoru no iro o suki na iro e
nuri kaete
kakuseba ii yo
nani mo kamo ga owaru

Repainting the colour of the night
into one that I like
I just need to hide it
Every last thing will end

誘え過去へ 遠い影が
振り向いて
別離を告げる
『後ろの正面だあれ?』

sasoe kako e tooi kage ga
furi muite
wakare o tsugeru
『ushiro no shoumen daare?』

Towards the luring past, the distant shadows
turn around
They say their goodbyes
‘Who is it who stands behind me?”

daylight moonlight
手をふってさよなら
見えない もうない 思い出せない

daylight moonlight
te o futte sayonara
mienai mou nai omoi dasenai

daylight moonlight
Wave your hands goodbye
Not in sight, not here anymore, unable to be recalled

雨の雫が
夜に嘘を歌わせる
重ねて歌えば
もう忘れてしまえばいい

ame no shizuku ga
yoru ni uso o utawaseru
kasanete utaeba
mou wasurete shimaeba ii

Droplets of rain
cause the night to sing lies
If it sings again
it’d be better to forget it all already

夜明けの晩に本当は何を
間違えた?
正しささえも
何もかもが終わる

yoake no ban ni hontou wa nani o
machigaeta?
tadashisa sae mo
nani mo kamo ga owaru

During the daybreak’s evening, what was mistaken
deep down?
Even that which is right,
everything last thing will end

例え過去へ 小さく胸が
痛んでも
別離を告げる
『後ろの正面      ?』

tatoe kako e chiisaku mune ga
itandemo
wakare o tsugeru
『ushiro no shoumen           ?』

Even if towards the past, my chest
hurts a little
I’ll say my goodbyes
‘       is it who stands behind me?’

終わりの来ない
終わった世界
届かぬ声は
夜明けを願う

owari no konai
owatta sekai
todokanu koe wa
yoake o negau

An ended world with an
unapproaching ending
My unreaching voice
wishes for a dawn
