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

the LAST MOMENT

I wonder how many times I’ve listened to this song the past week? It sounds almost as if the flowers symbolize lives here, and it’s another song about Yuyuko’s death. Becoming more beautiful after dying, etc.

花　枯れない　花
奪い合う　色
今夜　全て　散る
それでも　まだ　色づく　花
優しい終わり　受け入れるなら

hana karenai hana
ubai au iro
konya subete chiru
sore demo mada irodzuku hana
yasashii owari uke ireru nara

The flowers, the unwithering flowers
struggle to snatch colour
Tonight everything falls
but even so the flowers still change colours
If they would just accept their gentle endings…

舞い散る花　散りゆく夢
死してなお　美しく咲いて
夜にまぎれ　風に凪いで
去りゆく運命を知ってた

mai chiru hana chiri yuku yume
shishite nao utsukushiku saite
yoru ni magire kaze ni naide
sari yuku sadame o shitteta

Flowers dance down, dreams proceed to scatter
blossoming beautifully after death
Slipping into the night, calming with the wind
They knew their destiny to pass away

『さよならだね』
『お別れだね』
死してなお　浮かぶ景色
君の笑顔　君の涙
隠してよ　最後まで

『sayonara da ne』
『owakare da ne』
shishite nao ukabu keshiki
kimi no egao kimi no namida
kakushite yo saigo made

‘This is goodbye isn’t it?’
‘We part ways here don’t we?’
The scene comes to me even after death
Hide away your smiles, and your tears
until the very end

花　あの日の　花
色褪せる　夢
今夜　全て　散る
それでも　まだ　生きたい　花
哀しい終わり　それでもいいの

hana ano hi no hana
iroaseru yume
konya subete chiru
sore demo mada ikitai hana
kanashii owari sore demo ii no

The flowers, the flowers from that day
dreams that will fade
Tonight everything falls
but even so the flowers still want to live
They have a sad ending, but that’s fine anyways

舞い散るなら　散りゆくなら
死してなお　美しく咲いて
風にまぎれ　夜を裂いて
去りゆく運命に溺れた

mai chiru nara chiri yuku nara
shishite nao utsukushiku saite
kaze ni magire yoru o saite
sari yuku unmei ni oboreta

If they’re to scatter and dance, if they’re going to fall
they’ll die and blossom more beautifully
Slipping into the wind, cutting through the night
drowned in their fate to pass away

『さよならだね』
『お別れだね』
死してなお　美しいなら
君の笑顔　君の涙
隠してよ　最後まで

『sayonara da ne』
『owakare da ne』
shishite nao utsukushii nara
kimi no egao kimi no namida
kakushite yo saigo made

‘This is goodbye isn’t it?’
‘We part ways here don’t we?’
If they become more beautiful after they die
hide away your smiles, and your tears
until the very end

(巡り巡る日々　終わりの無い旅)
(優しい微笑み　頼りない心)
(涙を浮かべて　たぐり寄せる意味)
(君の左手に　重なる幻)

(meguri meguru hibi owari no nai tabi)
(yasashii hohoemi tayorinai kokoro)
(namida o ukabete taguri yoseru imi)
(kimi no hidari te ni kasanaru maboroshi)

(The days go round and round, an endless journey)
(With a kind smile but a helpless heart)
(Wearing tears and pulling in meaning)
(The visions gather in your left hand)

舞い散る花　散りゆく夢
死してなお　美しく咲いて
夜にまぎれ　風に凪いで
去りゆく運命を知ってた

mai chiru hana chiri yuku yume
shishite nao utsukushiku saite
yoru ni magire kaze ni naide
sari yuku sadame o shitteta

Flowers dance down, dreams proceed to scatter
blossoming beautifully after death
Slipping into the night, calming with the wind
They knew their destiny to pass away

『さよならだね』
『お別れだね』
死してなお　浮かぶ景色
君の笑顔　君の涙
隠してよ　最後まで

『sayonara da ne』
『owakare da ne』
shishite nao ukabu keshiki
kimi no egao kimi no namida
kakushite yo saigo made

‘This is goodbye isn’t it?’
‘We part ways here don’t we?’
The scene comes to me even after death
Hide away your smiles, and your tears
until the very end

doom and gloom

Requested by Primity, lets see: Having to repeat a fate over and over, despite knowing it’ll end badly? I’m somewhat reminded of Homura.

Notes: I felt somewhat unsatisfied with my translation here, as you might have noticed from my many edits since I posted. The song seems more clear in the second half, but it woulda been really nice to have some pre-established context to work from this time around. It seems that here, the singer has an opposing force. The singer wants the opposing force to give up her evil ways, as evidenced by “Your eyes, body, and heart burn red | Release it into this blue sky.” Maybe it’s a friend, and that’s who the speaker is fighting to save. This song was somewhat tough, I had to rely a lot on the “this”s and “that”s for perspective, who the speech was aimed at here, which can be pretty vague at times. After relistening countless times, I think I’ve got it down though.

そっと始まった物語は
何度もわたしを操っていた

sotto hajimatta monogatari wa
nando mo watashi o ayatsutteita

The story that started so gently
has manipulated me many times

その度祈った
この世界はきっと
悲しみに溢れ　泣いているから

sono tabi inotta
kono sekai wa kitto
kanashimi ni afure naiteiru kara

Each time I prayed
was because this world was surely
crying, overflowed with sadness

また繰り返すのだろう　人のあやまちを
その運命を辿るように
たった一つの願いも　このカラダのように
灰となって　消えてしまうだけ

mata kuri kaesu no darou hito no ayamachi o
sono unmei o tadoru you ni
tatta hitotsu no negai mo kono karada no you ni
hai to natte kiete shimau dake

I’ll have to repeat the mistakes of mankind again won’t I?
In order to follow that fate
Even my single desire, just like this body,
will just turn to ash and disappear

その声はいつも　聞こえていた
わたしの行くべき道を告げた

sono koe wa itsumo kikoeteita
watashi no yuku beki michi o tsugeta

I could always hear that voice
it told me which path I should take

その度叫んだ
この手を振り上げ
“今度こそは”強く　願いながら

sono tabi sakenda
kono te o furi age
“kondo koso wa” tsuyoku negai nagara

Each time I shouted out
I raised my hands up high
while wishing strongly “This time, I’ll definitely…”

この悲しみの果てに　何が見えるだろう
小さな声で呟いても
また同じ結末が　待っているのなら
この運命は　何故繰り返すのか

kono kanashimi no hate ni nani ga mieru darou
chiisa na koe de tsubuyaitemo
mata onaji ketsumatsu ga matteiru no nara
kono unmei wa naze kurikaesu no ka

At the edge of this sorrow, what do you think I’ll see?
Even though I mutter with a small voice
If the same ending really is waiting for me again
why is this fate repeating?

もう何度目だろう　この階段
昇りきれば　また終わるだけだ
最期をわかっているのに　ただ
この身はどうして動くの？

mou nandome darou kono kaidan
nobori kireba mata owaru dake da
saigo o wakatteiru noni tada
kono mi wa doushite ugoku no?

How many times has it been already?
If I scale these stairs it’ll just end again
I understand my final moments so why
does my body keep on moving?

赤く燃える　その瞳を　躰を　心を
この青空に解き放って
またわたしは始める　同じ運命を
変わることない結末でも
気高い思いだけは　失くさないままで
何度でも　手を振り上げるのだろう

akaku moeru sono me o karada o kokoro o
kono aozora ni toki hanatte
mata watashi wa hajimeru onaji unmei o
kawaru koto nai ketsumatsu demo
kedakai omoi dake wa nakusanai mama de
nando demo te o furi ageru no darou

Your eyes, body, and heart burn red
Release it into this blue sky
Once again I start the same old fate
Even though the ending won’t change
the one thing I won’t lose are my high hopes
no matter how many times it takes I’ll raise my arms up high
