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
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

FIGHT FOR YOU

I, SCREAM album complete! This song is pretty straightforward, being about someone who’d “fight for you” no matter what. Sentences in (these) are transcribed by ear, don’t take it too reliably.

目の前で 沈む夕陽のように
真っすぐな 君の温かさ
いつまでも 僕のこの手の中で
閉じ込めて いられないことを
知っていたなら

me no mae de shizumu yuuhi no you ni
massugu na kimi no atatakasa
itsu made mo boku no kono te no naka de
toji komete irarenai koto o
shitteita nara

Right before my eyes, like the setting sun
is your frank and honest warmth
Forever within these hands of mine
if I had only known about these things that
couldn’t shut in them

(Are you ready for your fighting?)
(Are you ready for your fighting?)
(Just don’t let it go and I’ll fight it)
(Just don’t let it go and I’ll fight)
(Are you ready for your fighting?)
(Are you ready for your fighting?)
(Just don’t let it go and I’ll fight it)
(Are you ready for your future?)

いつか君の手を離さなきゃいけないこと
わかってた
いつか君に嘘をつかなきゃいけないこと
わかってた
FIGHT FOR YOU 離れてしまうこと
FIGHT FOR YOU 触れられないほど
FIGHT FOR YOU 閉じていく世界で
たとえ 全てを敵に 回しても

itsu ka kimi no te o hanasanakya ikenai koto
wakatteta
itsu ka kimi ni uso o tsukanakya ikenai koto
wakatteta
FIGHT FOR YOU hanarete shimau koto
FIGHT FOR YOU furerarenai hodo
FIGHT FOR YOU tojite yuku sekai de
tatoe subete o teki ni mawashitemo

I’ve understood that someday I’d have to part
from your hands
I’ve understood that someday I’d have to
lie to you
FIGHT FOR YOU ending up separating
FIGHT FOR YOU to the point where I can’t feel you
FIGHT FOR YOU in this closing world
even if I have to make everything my enemy

目の前で 揺れる世界の終り
真っすぐに 君の名を呼んで
何もかも 僕のこの手の中で
抱きしめて いられないことを
知っていたなら

me no mae de yureru sekai no owari
massugu ni kimi no na o yonde
nani mo kamo boku no kono te no naka de
daki shimete irarenai koto mo
shitteita nara

Right before my eyes, the end of this shaking world
straightfowardly, I call out your name
Just about everything within my hands
if I had only known about these things
that I can’t keep held close

(Are you ready for your fighting?)
(Are you ready for your fighting?)
(Just don’t let it go and I’ll fight it)
(Just don’t let it go and I’ll fight)
(Are you ready for your fighting?)
(Are you ready for your fighting?)
(Just don’t let it go and I’ll fight it)
(Are you ready for your future?)

いつか僕の目をそらさなきゃいけないこと
わかってた
いつか僕に嘘をつかなきゃいけないこと
わかってた
FIGHT FOR YOU 信じてしまうこと
FIGHT FOR YOU もう逃げないこと
FIGHT FOR YOU 閉じていく世界で
たとえ 世界を敵に 回しても

itsu ka boku no me o sorasanakya ikenai koto
wakatteta
itsu ka boku ni uso tsukanakya ikenai koto
wakatteta
FIGHT FOR YOU shinjite shimau koto
FIGHT FOR YOU mou nigenai koto
FIGHT FOR YOU tojite yuku sekai de
tatoe sekai o teki ni mawashitemo

I’ve understood that someday I’d have to
avert my gaze
I’ve understood that someday I’d have to
be lied to
FIGHT FOR YOU ending up believing
FIGHT FOR YOU not running away anymore
FIGHT FOR YOU in this closing world
even if I have to make this world my enemy

いつか君の手を
もう一度握ることができたなら
いつか僕の嘘で
誰かが幸せになれるなら
FIGHT FOR YOU 離れてしまうこと
FIGHT FOR YOU もう会えないこと
FIGHT FOR YOU 閉じていく世界で
たとえ 君さえ敵に 回しても

itsu ka kimi no te o
mou ichido nigiru koto ga dekita nara
itsu ka boku no uso de
dare ka ga shiiawase ni nareru nara
FIGHT FOR YOU hanarete shimau koto
FIGHT FOR YOU mou aenai koto
FIGHT FOR YOU tojite yuku sekai de
tatoe kimi sae teki ni mawashitemo

If only I could
someday hold your hand once again
If my lies
can bring someone happiness, I’ll
FIGHT FOR YOU ending up separating
FIGHT FOR YOU unable to meet anymore
FIGHT FOR YOU in this closing world
even if I have to make even you my enemy

FIGHT FOR YOU…

(Are you ready for your fighting?)
(Are you ready for your fighting?)
(Just don’t let it go and I’ll fight it)
(Just don’t let it go and I’ll fight)
(Are you ready for your fighting?)
(Are you ready for your fighting?)
(Just don’t let it go and I’ll fight it)
(Are you ready for your future?)

2 keys

Reposted from the rearranged version, so I can throw this in the catalogue under the Double Key album. I’m somewhat confused as to what’s going on exactly in this song. It sounds to me like a girl made a mistake and thought she ruined a relationship, but then found out that it was all a misunderstanding after it was too late, which ended up hurting him too.

それは 輝く意味を 失って
信じてた心 失って
だから 涙 まだここにあって
描いてる あの日への reason

sore wa kagayaku imi o ushinatte
shinjiteta kokoro ushinatte
dakara namida mada koko ni atte
egaiteru ano hi e no reason

It was the reason it lost its meaning to shine
The reason I lost the heart I believed in
The reason why the tears are still here
The reason to that day I’m picturing

歪んで 滲んで 切り裂いて
壊して 拾って また泣いて
震えた指先 僕らのkey
凍り付いた 確かな two keys

hizunde nijinde kiri saite
kowashite hirotte mata naite
furueta yubisaki bokura no key
koori tsuita tashika na two keys

I bent, spread and tore it to shreds
Destroyed it then gathered it and cried again
My fingertips trembled holding our key
I was frozen seeing it was definitely two keys

足跡も 残さず 溶けて消えてしまいたい
光の 先には 何もないのに

ashiato mo nokosazu tokete kiete shimaitai
hikari no saki ni wa nani mo nai no ni

I want to vanish, to melt without leaving even a trace
despite there being nothing beyond the light

望んだはずの未来 儚い夢
届かなかった声 露と消えて
君に繋がる全てに 鍵をかけたい
君と二人だけで 開けるために

nozonda hazu no mirai hakanai yume
todokanakatta koe tsuyu to kiete
kimi ni tsunagaru subete ni kagi o kaketai
kimi to futari dake de akeru tame ni

The future I expected to see was just a fleeting dream
My unheard voice vanishes with morning dew
I want to lock up everything tied between us
so that we can open it up together, just us alone

それは 重なる意味を 失って
守るべき物も 失って
だけど 僕らまたすれ違って
探してる あの日への reason

sore wa kasanaru imi o ushinatte
mamoru beki mono mo ushinatte
dakedo bokura mata surechigatte
sagashiteru ano hi e no reason

It was the reason it lost the overlapping meanings
The reason I lost who I should have protected
yet still pass by each day
The for that day I’m still searching for

歪んで 滲んで 切り裂いて
壊して 拾って また泣いて
震えた指先 僕らのkey
凍り付いた 確かな two keys

hizunde nijinde kiri saite
kowashite hirotte mata naite
furueta yubisaki bokura no key
koori tsuita tashika na two keys

I bent, spread and tore it to shreds
Destroyed it then gathered it and cried again
My fingertips trembled holding our key
I was frozen seeing it was definitely two keys

君の手を 汚さず 全て消してしまいたい
螺旋に 絡まる 君の言葉が

kimi no te o yogosazu subete keshite shimaitai
rasen ni karamaru kimi no kotoba ga

I want to erase everything without staining your hands
Your words are entwined in a spiral

失うはずの世界 儚い夢
届けたかった声 露と消えて
大事なもの全てに 鍵をかけたら
何かが崩れて行く音がして

ushinau hazu no sekai hakanai yume
todoketakatta koe tsuyu to kiete
daiji na mono subete ni kagi o kaketara
nani ka ga kuzurete yuku oto ga shite

The world I should have parted with was but a fleeting dream
My voice I wanted to send out vanishes with morning dew
If I lock up everything important
there’ll be sound saying that something is going to collapse

それは 本当の意味を 欲しがって
帰るべき場所も 失って
なのに 僕らまたすれ違って
笑ってる あの日への reason

sore wa honto no imi o hoshigatte
kaeru beki basho mo ushinatte
nanoni bokura mata surechigatte
waratteru ano hi e no reason

The reason you wanted the real meaning
The reason
we also lost the home that we should have had
yet we still pass by each other
The reason to that day I laugh at

歪んで 滲んで 切り裂いて
壊して 拾って また泣いて
震えた指先 僕らのkey
凍り付いた 確かな two keys

hizunde nijinde kiri saite
kowashite hirotte mata naite
furueta yubisaki bokura no key
koori tsuita tashika na two keys

I bent, spread and tore it to shreds
Destroyed it then gathered it and cried again
My fingertips trembled holding our key
I was frozen seeing it was definitely two keys

それは
君の笑顔にも変わって
君の涙にも重なって
一人でも鍵を開けたくて
悲しい嘘を 重ねていた

sore wa
kimi no egao ni mo kawatte
kimi no namida ni mo kasanatte
hitori demo kagi o aketakute
kanashii uso o kasaneteita

It also
transformed into your smile
added to all your tears
Even alone I want to open the lock
I had added in some sad lies

歪んで 滲んで 切り裂いて
壊して 拾って また泣いて
君とじゃなきゃ 開けられないよ
二人で一つの just one key

hizunde nijinde kiri saite
kowashite hirotte mata naite
kimi to janakya akerarenai yo
futari de hitotsu no just one key

I bent, spread and tore it to shreds
Destroyed it then gathered it and cried again
I can’t open it if I’m not with you
together it’s single, just one key

Dancing Dollz

Dancing under stars.. I get a vision of witches. One of my friends suggested I make a twitter the other day, I’m curious if I should.

Notes: This seems to be a fairly supernatural song, so I kept 「幻」 as phantom. 「始める」 which precedes it is a transitive verb as well, and I don’t think visions or illusions can actually do things like heal hearts, so phantom seems the most fitting.. Then again, I don’t know if phantoms can heal hearts either. Aw well, either way it doesn’t impact the translation. The little bits of english at the beginning and around the middle and end I wrote down by ear, so they may not be 100% accurate.

誰かが 信じてる 常識を 塗りかえて
踊る心に視え始める 幻
星を頼りに 進んではみるけれど
もし迷ってしまったら 月を探すよ

dare ka ga shinjiteru joushiki o nuri kaete
odoru kokoro ni mie hajimeru maboroshi
hoshi o tayori ni susunde wa miru keredo
moshi mayotte shimattara tsuki o sagasu yo

Reshaping the common sense that others believe in
our dancing hearts begin to see the unreal

We’ll try to move forward using the stars as a guide
but if we end up getting lost, we’ll look for the moon

僕らは独りで
踊り続けてる

bokura wa hitori de
odori tsudzuketeru

We continue to
dance on all alone

歌う事を忘れて 空を見上げてくるくる踊る
この手で掴めない
視えない物でも “存在”のかな
君が望めば 手に入れられるはずなのに なぜ
哀しく 微笑んで 新しい世界へと 消えた

utau koto o wasurete sora o mi agete kurukuru odoru
kono te de tsukamenai
mienai mono demo “aru” no kana
kimi ga nozomeba te ni irerareru hazu nanoni naze
kanashiku hohoende atarashii sekai e to kieta

Forgetting to sing, we look to the sky and dance round and round
Do things you can’t see
or touch really exist?
If you so desired, you could get your hands on them
So why, despite that, did you disappear to a new world with a sad smile on your face?

僕らが 信じてる 常識の裏側に
痛む心が癒えはじめる 幻
星を頼りに 走ってはみるけれど
もしつまづいてしまったら 君を探すよ

bokura ga shinjiteru joushiki no uragawa ni
itamu kokoro ga ie hajimeru maboroshi
hoshi o tayori ni hashitte wa miru keredo
moshi tsumadzuite shimattara kimi o sagasu yo

Behind the common sense that we believe in
the illusions begin to heal my hurting heart
I’ll try to run using the stars as a guide,
but if I ended up stumbling and tripping up, I’ll look for you

僕らは独りで
踊り続けてる

bokura wa hitori de
odori tsudzuketeru

We continue to
dance on all alone

歌う事を忘れて 星を探してくるくる踊る
この眼に映せない
視えない物でも “存在”のかな
季節は巡り 何か 失うはずなのに なぜ
優しく 微笑んで 桜舞う世界へと 消えた

utau koto o wasurete hoshi o sagashite kurukuru odoru
kono me ni utsusenai
mienai mono demo “aru” no kana
kisetsu wa meguri nani ka ushinau hazu nanoni naze
yasashiku hohoende sakura mau sekai e to kieta

Forgetting to sing, we search for the stars and dance round and round
It can’t be reflected in my eyes
Do things you can’t see really exist?
As the seasons cycle I should lose something, but despite this why,
smiling kindly, did you disappear off to a world of fluttering cherry blossoms?

We are dancing under stars, we are still the dancing dolls
and I don’t know why they are disguised, we are still the dancing dolls

歌う事を忘れて それでも君はくるくる踊る
教えてくれていた
視えない物でも “存在”のだと
僕ら望めば 手に入れられるはずなのに なぜ
踊り続けてる
変わる世界はそばに”存在”のに

utau koto o wasurete sore demo kimi wa kurukuru odoru
oshiete kureteita
mienai mono demo “aru” no da to
bokura nozomeba te ni irerareru hazu nanoni naze
odori tsudzuketeru
kawaru sekai wa soba ni “aru” noni

Even though you forget about singing you dance round and round
You had taught me that
even things that you can’t see exist
If we were to make a wish, it should come true, but despite this why
do we continue to dance?
Despite a changing world being right beside us

We are dancing under stars, we are still the dancing dolls
and I don’t know why they are disguised, we are still the dancing dolls

 

I really like this album art, the way Renko and Maribel are in this gives me the picture of two girls chasing after their dreams
