World Beyond

This song really sounds like it could be an anime opening, even the lyrics resemble one. I’m thinking of Railgun in particular though.

心を 一つに できたなら
この世界に 溢れてる
哀しみだとか 涙とか 全部消してしまえるのかな
この痛みも 幻に 変わる日がきっと来るよ
揺れる世界に今 響いてく 独り 希望を願う歌

kokoro o hitotsu ni dekita nara
kono sekai ni afureteru
kanashimi da toka namida toka zenbu keshite shimaeru no kana
kono itami mo maboroshi ni kawaru hi ga kitto kuru yo
yureru sekai ni ima hibiite ku hitori kibou o negau uta

If I’ve managed to make my heart whole
then I wonder if I’ll be able to end up erasing
all the sadness and tears overflowing in this world
The day will surely come when this pain will become just a dream
In this shaking world, right now, my song of wishing for hope will ring

ひらひら舞い落ちてく 想い出 風の中
懐かしい香りがして 心を揺らす
この声を風に乗せ どこかに届くなら
何かが変わる気がして 心を揺らす

hirahira mai ochite ku omoide kaze no naka
natsukashii kaori ga shite kokoro o yurasu
kono koe o kaze ni nose doko ka ni todoku nara
nani ka ga kawaru ki ga shite kokoro o yurasu

Memories flutter and dance down within the wind
A nostalgic scent is produced and shakes my heart
If I place my voice on the wind and send it off somewhere
I have a feeling something will change, and it’ll rock my heart

優しいあの夜空の星の記憶が
きら きら 輝いてる

yasashii ano yozora no hoshi no kioku ga
kirakira kagayaiteru

My tender memories of the stars of that night sky go
twinkle twinkle, they glitter like that

傷つくばかりで 笑えずに 明けない夜 走ってる
哀しみだとか 涙とか 見えないほどの暗闇を
その痛みも 優しさに 変わる日がきっと来るよ
揺れる世界を今 越えていく 独り 強さを願う歌

kizutsuku bakari de waraezu ni akenai yoru hashitteru
kanashimi da toka namida toka mienai hodo no kurayami o
sono itami mo yasashisa ni kawaru hi ga kitto kuru yo
yureru sekai o ima koete yuku hitori tsuyosa o negau uta

I only got hurt, unable to laugh I’m running away from the endless night
Whether it’s sorrow or tears, the darkness is so dark I can’t see them
The day will surely come when even that pain will turn into kindness
I’ll exceed this shaking world, right now, with my song of wishing for strength

信じてた空の色 想い出 風の中
何かが終わる気がして 心を揺らす

shinjiteta sora no iro omoide kaze no naka
nani ka ga owaru ki ga shite kokoro o yurasu

Within the wind with my memories and the colours of the sky I believed in
I have a feeling something will end, and it’ll rock my heart

優しいあの日見せた笑顔が 今も
まだ まだ 輝いてる

yasashii ano hi miseta egao ga ima mo
mada mada kagayaiteru

The gentle smile you showed me back then still
even, even now sparkles

素直になれずに 笑えずに この世界で 迷ってる
哀しみだとか 涙とか 全部消してしまいたいよ

sunao ni narezu ni waraezu ni kono sekai de mayotteru
kanashimi da toka namida toka zenbu keshite shimaitai yo

Unable to be honest, unable to smile, I’m lost in this world
Whether it’s sorrow or tears, I want to end up erasing them all

この手をあげて 叫んだら
変わるものがあるのなら

kono te o agete sakendara
kawaru mono ga aru no nara

If I raise up my arms and let out a shout
if there’s anything thing that will change

滲む世界に今 響いてく 独り 希望を願う歌

nijimu sekai ni ima hibiite ku hitori kibou o negau uta

In this blurry world, right now, my song of wishing for hope will ring

傷つけたくない ものばかり
傷つけてしまうんだね

kizutsuketakunai mono bakari
kuzutsukete shimau n da ne

The people I don’t want to hurt
I always end up giving pain to them don’t I?

哀しみだとか 涙とか もう見たくないはずなのに

kanashimi da toka namida toka mou mitakunai hazu nanoni

Despite my intention to never want to see sadness or tears again

この痛みの その意味を 解る日がいつか来たら

kono itami no sono imi o wakaru hi ga itsuka kitara

If the day when I understand the meaning of this pain someday comes

揺れる世界がほら ささやくよ “強くなれる”と―

yureru sekai ga hora sasayaku yo “tsuyoku nareru” to

this shaking world will, look out, whisper “I can become strong”

心を 一つに できたなら
この世界に 溢れてる
哀しみだとか 涙とか 全部消してしまえるのかな
この痛みも 幻に 変わる日がきっと来るよ
揺れる世界に今 響いてく 独り 希望を願う歌

kokoro o hitotsu ni dekita nara
kono sekai ni afureteru
kanashimi da toka namida toka zenbu keshite shimaeru no kana
kono itami mo maboroshi ni kawaru hi ga kitto kuru yo
yureru sekai ni ima hibiite ku hitori kibou o negau uta

If I’ve managed to make my heart whole
then I wonder if I’ll be able to end up erasing
all the sadness and tears overflowing in this world
The day will surely come when this pain will become just a dream
In this shaking world, right now, my song of wishing for hope will ring

oblivion

Requested by Primity. I picture a predator Kagerou scaring her prey out of the forest with her howls, and into the moonlight. After making an attack, she leaves her victim behind to fight another day, when it’s the full moon.

迷いの森抜け出し 外のセカイへ
滅びの旋律から 消えゆく幻想

mayoi no mori nuke dashi soto no sekai e
horobi no senritsu kara kie yuku gensou

Breaking out of the forest of the lost, into the outside world
The illusion vanishes away from a perish melody

孤独の果て 何を思う
見上げた空 堕ちてく

kodoku no hate nani o omou
miageta sora ochite ku

At solitude’s edge, what are you thinking?
The sky you looked up at, is about to fall

月下に舞う花びら
美しく紅く染まって
暗闇から貴女を奪いさるわ
そして残酷に…

gekka ni mau hanabira
utsukushiku akaku somatte
kurayami kara anata o ubai saru wa
soshite zankoku ni…

The flower petals dancing under the moon
will be beautifully dyed in red
I’ll take you away from the dark
and then cruelly…

淡い記憶辿って 深い眠りへ
夜はまだ終わらない 儚い幻想

awai kioku tadotte fukai nemuri e
yoru wa mada owaranai hakanai gensou

Reaching into a deep sleep to find faint memories
The night has yet to finish –  a fleeting illusion

涙のあと 溢れ出した
思い馳せて 今宵も

namida no ato afuredashita
omoi hasete koyoi mo

After you’re done crying, my overflowing
thoughts take off, even tonight

鋭利な傷残して
ここにまた戻ってくるわ
月光に魅せられた可憐な瞳
そして残酷に
満月の夜 ここで逢いましょう
ありのままの姿形を見て欲しい

eiri na kizu nokoshite
koko ni mata modotte kuru wa
gekkou ni miserareta karen na hitomi
soshite zankoku ni
mangetsu no yoru koko de aimashou
ari no mama no sugata katachi o mite hoshii

Leaving behind a sharp scar
I come back here once again
My sweet eyes enchanted by the moonlight
and then cruelly…
Let’s meet here during the night of the full moon
I want you to see me for what I really am

月下に舞う花びら
美しく紅く染まって
暗闇から貴女を奪いさるわ
そして残酷に…
鋭利な傷残して
ここにまた戻ってくるわ
月光に魅せられた可憐な瞳
そして残酷に…

gekka ni mau hanabira
utsukushiku akaku somatte
kurayami kara anata o ubai saru wa
soshite zankoku ni…
eiri na kizu nokoshite
koko ni mata modotte kuru wa
gekkou ni miserareta karen na hitomi
soshite zankoku ni…

The flower petals dancing under the moon
will be beautifully dyed in red
I’ll take you away from the dark
and then cruelly…
Leaving behind a sharp scar
I come back here once again
My sweet eyes enchanted by the moonlight
and then cruelly…

Someday you’ll turn into an adult

During our usual evenings
we just joined our hands
I had wanted to be spoiled by you
I lightly pulled on your dress

Every day we faced each other was simply
each and every moment, precious

I don’t care at all about your way of life smeared in lies
I’ll search through this darkness for your light

それは太陽の光で
照らすことできないもの
うずくまったままで 弱く

sore wa taiyou no hikari de
terasu koto no dekinai mono
uzumakumatta mama de yowaku

When the light of the sun shines down
that’s the one person that can not be reached
Cowering away, weakly

ある時 後ろを 振り返った時に輝く
軌跡に似た光 美しい光

aru toki ushiro o furi kaetta toki ni kagayaku
kiseki ni nita hikari utsukushii hikari

Once, when I took a look behind me, it shone
and the light looked like a path, the beautiful light did

回ってる世界に 一つずつの
喜び 哀しみがあるとして
どちらかを選べと言われても
きっとその両方を選ぶだろう

mawatteru sekai ni hitotsu zutsu no
yorokobi kanashimi ga aru toshite
dochira ka o erabe to iwaretemo
kitto sono ryouhou o erabu darou

Within this wide, always turning world
one by one we experience grief and joy
Even though I’m told to pick any of the two
I’m sure that I’ll end up picking both, you know

それで誰かに笑われても
確かな思いが 一つあればいい
この世界で君と
笑ったり 泣いたり
夢を 見られたらいい

sore de dare ka ni warawaretemo
tashika na omoi ga hitotsu areba ii
kono sekai de kimi to
warattari naitari
yume o miraretara ii

Even if someone laughed at me for that
as long as I have at least one thought I’m sure of, it’s alright
Within this world, as long as I can be along with you
laughing and crying
and dreaming it’s fine

それはあらゆる言葉でも
残すことのできないもの
縁取れないままで 淡く

sore wa arayura kotoba demo
nokosu koto no dekinai mono
fuchidorenai mama de awaku

That’s all I’ve got to say although
I’m the kind of person that can’t leave things behind
being unable to put up even a border faintly

ある時 未来に 寄り添った時に輝く
奇跡に似た光 美しい光

aru toki mirai ni yori sotta toki ni kagayaku
kiseki ni nita hikari utsukushii hikari

Some time in the future, when we’ve gotten close together, it’ll shine
a light alike a miracle, a beautiful light

回ってる世界を 照らしている
喜び 哀しみを 抱きしめて
穏やかな気持ちでいられたら
あの日の涙も 意味を持つのだろう

mawatteru sekai o terashiteiru
yorokobi kanashimi o daki shimete
odayaka na kimochi de iraretara
ano hi no namida mo imi o motsu no darou

Shining light down upon this ever turning world
embracing both pain and joy alike
As long as I can live with these calm feelings
I think I’ll be able to find meaning in those tears from that far day

それで何かを失っても
確かな思いが 一つあればいい
この世界で君と
笑ったり 泣いたり
夢を 見られたらいい
sore de nani ka o ushinattemo
tashika na omoi ga hitotsu areba ii
kono sekai de kimi to
warattari naitari
yume o miraretara ii

Even if I lose something from that
as long as I have at least one thought I’m sure of, it’s alright
Within this world, as long as I can be along with you
laughing and crying
and dreaming it’s fine

望む美しい夢 願う美しい夢
君と美しい夢 願う美しい夢

nozomu utsukushii yume negau utsukushii yume
kimi to utsukushii yume negau utsukushii yume

The lovely dream I desire, the beautiful dream that I so wish for
the lovely dream with you is the beautiful dream I wish for

回ってる世界に 一つずつの
喜び 哀しみがあるとして
どちらかを選べと言われても
きっとその両方を選ぶだろう

mawatteru sekai ni hitotsu zutsu no
yorokobi kanashimi ga aru toshite
dochira ka o erabe to iwaretemo
