I don’t hear male vocals too often, except the occasional Cherose or 709sec.
Perhaps the hardest parts of Zytokine songs are the lyrics not written in the booklet.
As usual, if you have any suggestions about what the lyrics in brackets could be, feel free.

傷ついたり　でも欲しがったり
足りない心を埋め合わせていくために
（閉ざされたこの世界で）
これ以上失いたくない　震えたままの心
（くだらないなくした世界で）

kizutsuitari demo hoshigattari
tarinai kokoro o ume awasete iku tame ni
(tozasareta kono sekai de)
kore ijou ushinaitakunai furueta mama no kokoro
(kudaranai nakushita sekai de)

Getting hurt, but still desiring
In an effort to compensate for a lacking heart
(in this closed off world)
I don’t want to lose anything more, my heart remains shook
(in this boring, lost world)

遠い宇宙の片隅で　棄てられたままの楽園へと
閉じ込めて　忘れられて
遥か彼方まで　飛んでゆけ

tooi uchuu no katasumi de suterareta mama no rakuen e to
toji komete wasurerarete
haruka kanata made tonde yuke

Locked away, forgotten, take flight far into the distance
towards the paradise remaining abandoned
in a corner of the far cosmos

君が忘れたままの　（聞こえてる）
懐かしいメロディー　未だ止まず　胸に響いてる
もう二度と会えないと　（分かってる）
君の名を呼ぶけれど　（どこへも届かない）

kimi ga wasureta mama no (kikoeteru)
natsukashii merodii imada yamazu mune ni hibiiteru
mou nido to aena to (wakatteru)
kimi no na o yobu keredo (doko e mo todokanai)

The nostalgic melody (I hear you)
remaining forgotten by you still sounds without stopping in my chest
We’ll never be able to meet again (I understand)
Though I shout out your name (it won’t reach anywhere)

じゃれあったり　傷舐め合ったり
足りない心を埋め合わせていくための
（閉ざされたこの世界で）
無くしたパズルのピースを　ずっと探しているんだね
（くだらないなくした世界で）

jare attari kizu name attari
tarinai kokoro o ume awasete iku tame no
(tozasareta kono sekai de)
nakushita pazuru no piisu o zutto sagashiteiru n da ne
(kudaranai nakushita sekai de)

Messing around, licking each other’s wounds
Aren’t we all always searching for the lost puzzle pieces
(in this closed off world)
in an effort to compensate for a lacking heart
(in this boring, lost world)

遠い宇宙の片隅で歌い続けてる楽園へと
独りきり　忘れられて
遥か彼方まで　飛んでゆけ

tooi uchuu no katasumi de utai tsudzuketeru rakuen e to
hitori kiri wasurerarete
haruka kanata made tonde yuke

All alone, forgotten, take flight far into the distance
towards the paradise continuing to sing
in a corner of the far cosmos

君に伝えたかった　（聞こえてる）
小さな愛の残滓　今も響いていますか
彷徨い続けたまま　（分かってる）
君の名を呼ぶけれど　（どこへも届かない）

kimi ni tsutaetakatta (kikoeteru)
chiisana ai no zanshi ima mo hibiiteimasu ka
samyoi tsudzuketa mama (wakatteru)
kimi no koe o yobu keredo (doko e mo todokanai)

Are the remains of my small love (I hear you)
that I wanted to convey to you still sounding?
As I continued to roam about (I understand)
though I shout out your name (it won’t reach anywhere)

遠い宇宙の片隅で　棄てられたままの楽園へと
閉じ込めて　忘れられて
遥か彼方まで　飛んでゆけ

tooi uchuu no katasumi de suterareta mama no rakuen e to
tojikomete wasurerarete
haruka kanata made tonde yuke

Locked away, forgotten, take flight far into the distance
towards the paradise remaining abandoned
in a corner of the far cosmos

君の最後の言葉　（聞こえてる）
今はもう行き場を無くして凍りついたまま
孤独に迷うときは　（分かってる）
僕の名を呼べばいい　（どこへも届かない）

kimi no saigo no kotoba (kikoeteru)
ima wa mou yukiba o nakushite koori tsuita mama
kodoku ni mayou toki wa (wakatteru)
boku no na o yobeba ii (doko e mo todokanai)

Your final words (I hear you)
having lost their destination already by now, remain frozen
When you’re lost in solitude (I understand)
just call out my name (it won’t reach anywhere)

I learned a lot while trying to translate this one.
Hopefully, my double tense confusion will never return.

In other news, this song sure has a unique opening.

音も立てず　開いていく　新しい世界の扉
望む色は鮮やかに　揺れる世界を染め上げて

oto mo tatezu hiraite yuku atarashii sekai no tobira
nozomu iro wa azayaka ni yureru sekai o some agete

Making not a sound, the door to a new world opens up
The colours we desire vividly dyeing the swaying world

超えた先　命の価値は　混ざり合って　意味を失っていく
言葉では　届かない想いを　大事に　抱きしめて

koeta saki inochi no kachi wa mazari atte imi o ushinatte yuku
kotoba de wa todokanai omoi o daiji ni daki shimete

Beyond, the value of life blends together and lose meaning
Treasuredly cradle these feelings unable to be expressed in words

夜の終わりに　青く包まれた　瞬間に見える　儚い心
君が隠した　思い出もやがて　忘却の彼方に消えていくかな
さよなら　またね　優しい時間を探して
僕ら　旅人　目的地はないけど　歩き出す
心だけは　生きてる　信じてる

yoru no owari ni aoku tsutsumareta shunkan ni mieru hakanai kokoro
kimi ga kakushita omoide mo yagate boukyaku no kanata ni kiete yuku kana
sayonara mata ne yasashii jikan o sagashite
bokura tabibito mokutekichi wa nai kedo aruki dasu
kokoro dake wa ikiteru shinjiteru

The moment I’m enveloped in the blue at the end of night, I see a fleeting heart
I wonder if even the memories that you hid will eventually fade beyond oblivion
“Goodbye” “Later” Searching for gentle times,
us travelers, despite having no destination, walk forth
At least our hearts will stay alive, will stay faithful

何も出来ず　開けていく　新しい視界の中で
望まない色ばかりが　揺れる世界を染め上げて

nani mo dekizu hirakete yuku atarashii shikai no naka de
nozomanai irobakari ga yureru sekai o some agete

Unable to do a thing, in a new vield of view opening up,
nothing but undesired colours dye the swaying world

信じてた　命の価値は　砕け散って　夜空へと堕ちていく
言葉では　描けない絆を　大事に　抱きしめて

shinjiteta inochi no kachi wa kudake chitte yozora e to ochite yuku
kotoba de wa egakenai kizuna o daiji ni daki shimete

The value of life I had believed in smashes to pieces and falls into the night sky
Treasuredly cradle these bonds unable to be pictured through words

夜の終わりに　白く輝いた　奇跡にも似てる　眩しい命
僕が隠した　約束もいつか　忘却の彼方に消えていくかな
さよなら　またね　哀しまないで　前を向いて
僕ら　旅人　気づかせてくれたのは　誰の愛？

yoru no owari ni shiroku kagayaita kiseki ni mo niteru mabushii inochi
boku ga kakushita yakusoku mo itsu ka boukyaku no kanata ni kiete yuku kana
sayonara mata ne kanashimanai de mae o muite
bokura tabibito kidzukasete kureta no wa dare no ai?

At the end of night, a dazzling light resembling a miracle shined white
I wonder if even the promise that I hid will someday fade beyond oblivion
“Goodbye” “Later” Without grieving, facing onwards,
whose love was it that let us travellers notice?

静かに揺れた

shizuka ni yureta

Silently it swayed

夜の終わりに　青く包まれた　瞬間に見える　儚い心
君が隠した　思い出もやがて　忘却の彼方に消えていくかな
さよなら　またね　優しい時間を探して
僕ら　旅人　目的地はないけど　歩き出す
心だけは　生きてる　信じてる

yoru no owari ni aoku tsutsumareta shunkan ni mieru hakanai kokoro
kimi ga kakushita omoide mo yagate boukyaku no kanata ni kiete yuku kana
sayonara mata ne yasashii jikan o sagashite
bokura tabibito mokutekichi wa nai kedo aruki dasu
kokoro dake wa ikiteru shinjiteru

The moment I’m enveloped in the blue at the end of night, I see a fleeting heart
I wonder if even the memories that you hid will eventually fade beyond oblivion
“Goodbye” “Later” Searching for gentle times,
us travellers, despite having no destination, walk forth
At least our hearts will stay alive, will stay faithful

Man, this is a good song.

今はもう　記憶に埋もれて　思い出せずに
（気持ちが落ちる　光に紛れて）
少しだけでいい　笑いかけてくれたなら
（気持ちが揺れる　記憶を解かして）
まだ　揺れ　てる　まだ　まだ　痛いよ

ima wa mou kioku ni umorete omoi dasezu ni
(kimochi ga ochiru hikari ni magirete)
sukoshi dake de ii warai kakete kurata nara
(kimochi ga yureru kioku o tokashite)
mada yure teru mada mada itai yo

By now already buried in memories, unable to be recalled
(Feelings fall, slipping into the light)
Just a little would be fine, if you gave me a smile
(Feelings sway, unraveling memories)
Still sway ing, still, still, it hurts

孤独は灰になり　宙を舞う

kodoku wa hai ni nari chuu o mau

Solitude becomes ash and dances in the air

take me outside, we could be the one so stop asking why
君へと届く歌を　今でも探している
take me outside, let me show another possibility now
後悔の行く先を　静かに眺めている
take me outside, we could be the one so stop asking why
何もかも失っても　心さえ失っても
take me outside, we will never gotta know
まだ痛む傷跡を　笑顔で隠したままで

take me outside, we could be the one so stop asking why
kimi e to todoku uta o ima demo sagashiteiru
take me outside, let me show another possibility now
koukai no yukusaki o shizuka ni nagameteiru
take me outside, we could be the one so stop asking why
nani mo kamo ushinattemo kokoro sae ushinattemo
take me outside, we will never gotta know
mada itamu kizuato o egao de kakushita mama de

take me outside, we could be the one so stop asking why
I am searching even now for a song that’ll reach you
take me outside, let me show another possibility now
Silently gazing at the whereabouts of regret
take me outside, we could be the one so stop asking why
Even if we lose everything, even if we lose our very own hearts
take me outside, we will never gotta know
as we hid our yet painful scars with a smile

(Baby don’t cry, wake up
Just we’re reaching for the sky
No stars are still not here
Baby it’s like shooting stars)

何もかも　美しく　鮮やかに　砕け散って
（気持ちが落ちる　光に紛れて）
形も残らないくらいに　忘れたくても
（気持ちが揺れる　記憶を解かして）
また　泣い　てる　まだ　まだ　いたいよ

nani mo kamo utsukushiku azayaka ni kudake chitte
(kimochi ga ochiru hikari ni magirete)
katachi mo nokoranai kurai ni wasuretakutemo
(kimochi ga yureru kioku o tokashite)
mata nai teru mada mada itai yo

Everything breaks apart beautifully and vividly
(Feelings fall, slipping into the light)
Even if you want to forget to the point not even a form remains
(Feelings sway, unraveling memories)
Again cry ing, still, still, it hurts

冷たい暁に　夢を視る

tsumetai akatsuki ni yume o miru

During cold dawns, I witness my dream

take me outside, we could be the one so stop asking why
瞳の色は変わり　もう二度と戻れない
take me outside, let me show another possibility now
偽りに閉ざされた　ひび割れた未来へと
take me outside, we could be the one so stop asking why
何もかも失っても　心さえ失っても
take me outside, we will never gotta know
まだ癒えぬ傷跡は　咲き誇る花のようで

take me outside, we could be the one so stop asking why
hitomi no iro wa kawari mou nido to modorenai
take me outside, let me show another possibility now
itsuwari ni tozasareta hibi wareta mirai e to
take me outside, we could be the one so stop asking why
nani mo kamo ushinattemo kokoro sae ushinattemo
take me outside, we will never gotta know
mada ienu kizuato wa saki hokoru hana no you de

take me outside, we could be the one so stop asking why
The colour of our eyes change, never to turn back again
take me outside, let me show another possibility now
Trapped by deceit, leading towards a broken future
take me outside, we could be the one so stop asking why
Even if we lose everything, even if we lose our very own hearts
take me outside, we will never gotta know
Yet unhealed scars resemble flowers blooming proudly

まだ　咲い　てる　まだ　まだ　綺麗だね

mada sai teru mada mada kirei da ne

Still in bloom, still, still, pretty

失意に踊らされ　地に還る

shitsui ni odorasare chi ni kaeru

Made to dance by despair, we return to the earth

take me outside, we could be the one so stop asking why
君へと届く歌を　今でも探している
take me outside, let me show another possibility now
後悔の行く先を　静かに眺めている
take me outside, we could be the one so stop asking why
何もかも失っても　心さえ失っても
take me outside, we will never gotta know
まだ痛む傷跡を　笑顔で隠したままで

take me outside, we could be the one so stop asking why
kimi e to todoku uta o ima demo sagashiteiru
take me outside, let me show another possibility now
koukai no yukusaki o shizuka ni nagameteiru
take me outside, we could be the one so stop asking why
nani mo kamo ushinattemo kokoro sae ushinattemo
take me outside, we will never gotta know
mada itamu kizuato o egao de kakushita mama de

take me outside, we could be the one so stop asking why
I am searching even now for a song that’ll reach you
take me outside, let me show another possibility now
Silently gazing at the whereabouts of regret
take me outside, we could be the one so stop asking why
Even if we lose everything, even if we lose our very own hearts
take me outside, we will never gotta know
as we remained hiding our yet painful scars with a smile

(Baby don’t cry, wake up
Just we’re reaching for the sky
No stars are still not here
Baby it’s like shooting stars)

Miko is probably one of my favourite vocalists, and I can’t exactly pinpoint why.
This song deals with separation, where one person is in space, which also explains why time doesn’t move the same for the two (general relativity).
Important to note that the lyrics in brackets aren’t included in the booklet and are transcribed by ear. Correct me if I might be wrong (especially that English portion).

時計の針が刻み続けてる　お互いの距離を確かめているように
(What the time it is, so can you hear me?)
夜空を見上げて　聴く声は　そう
(What the time it is, so can you hear me?)
月面から始まる　おとぎ話

tokei no hari ga kizami tsudzuketeru otagai no kyori o tashikameteiru you ni
(What the time it is, so can you hear me?)
yozora o mi agete kiku koe ha sou
(What the time it is, so can you hear me?)
getsumen kara hajimaru otogibanashi

The clock’s needle will be continuing to tick, as if confirming each other’s distance
(What the time it is, so can you hear me?)
Looking at the night sky, the voice I hear, yes
originates from the moon’s surface, a fairy tale

銀色を散りばめて
（僕ら分かっている　これで終わりわ）
夜空に描く想い
（僕らここの中じゃ分かり合えずに）
見上げればそばにいるというけれど
それでは心はチクチク痛むばかり
見上げればそばにいるというけれど
眩しくて見えなくなる

gin iro o chiribamete
(bokura wakatteiru kore de owari wa)
yozora ni egaku omoi
(bokura koko no naka ja wakari aezu ni)
mi agereba soba ni iru to iu keredo
sore de wa kokoro wa chikuchiku itamu bakari
mi agereba soba ni iru to iu keredo
mabushikute mienaku naru

Inlaying the colour silver
(We understand, this is the end)
I draw my feelings in the night sky
(Inside here, we won’t understand each other)
As long as I look up, you could say that you’re there with me,
however, with that my heart just feels a stinging pain
As long as I look up, you could say that you’re there with me,
however it’s too bright, such that I lose sight

ただ泣きたい　こんな夜は　何もかもが　モノクローム
悲しみとか　喜びとか　短い時を　積み上げて
君はどこへ　僕はどこへ　たどり着けるというのかな
輝く月　照らす陽光　すれ違う　二人の時間　巻き戻して

tada nakitai konna yoru wa nani mo kamo ga monokuroomu
kanashimi toka yorokobi toka mijikai toki o tsumi agete
kimi wa doko e boku wa doko e tadori tsukeru to iu no kana
kagayaku tsuki terasu hikari sure chigau futari no jikan maki modoshite

On nights like these, when I just want to cry, everything is monochrome
Sorrow and happiness, such feelings build up our short time
I wonder where you would say we’d both be able to reach
The sparkling moon and the shining sun pass by each other, turning back our time

（一人檻の中で君を照らすよ
遠く離れてても君を守るよ
二人刻む時は同じじゃないと
知っていても　知っても　君といたいよ）

(hitori ori no naka de kimi o terasu yo
tooku hanaretetemo kimi o mamoru yo
futari kizamu toki wa onaji janai to
shitteitemo shittemo kimi to itai yo )

(All alone in a cage, I’ll shine on you
No matter how far apart we are, I’ll protect you
Time doesn’t tick the same for us
I know that, I know, but I want to be with you)

時計の針を折り曲げてみては　お互いの距離を取り戻せる気がして
(What the time it is, so can you hear me?)
宇宙から見下ろす景色は　そう
(What the time it is, so can you hear me?)
新しい何かが始まるサイン

tokei no hari o ori magete mite wa otagai no kyori o tori modoseru ki ga shite
(What the time it is, so can you hear me?)
uchuu kara mi orosu keshiki keshiki wa sou
(What the time it is, so can you hear me?)
atarashii nani ka ga hajimaru sain

I have a feeling that after trying to bend back the clock’s needle, each other’s distance can be taken back
(What the time it is, so can you hear me?)
The scenery seen looking down from space is, yes
(What the time it is, so can you hear me?)
a sign that something new will begin

銀色に輝いて
（僕ら分かっている　これで終わりわ）
涙を焦がす光
（僕らここの中じゃ分かり合えずに）
見上げればそばにいるというけれど
それでも時間はチクチク進むばかり
見上げればそばにいるというけれど
置き去りの心　揺れて

sore demo jikan wa chikuchiku susumu bakari
mi agereba soba ni iru to iu keredo
okizari no kokoro yurete

Shining silver in colour
(We understand, this is the end)
Tear singing light
(Inside here, we won’t understand each other)
As long as I look up, you could say that you’re there with me,
however, even so, time just stingingly advances
As long as I look up, you could say that you’re there with me,
however my abandoned heart sways

ただ叫びたい　こんな夜は　浮かぶ言葉　モノクローム
寂しさとか　愛しさとか　儚い時を　積み上げて
君はどこへ　僕はどこへ　行けば幸せになれた？
隠れた月　落とす涙　不器用な　二人の時間　巻き戻して

tada sakebitai konna yoru wa ukabu kotoba monokuroomu
samishisa toka itoshisa toka hakanai toki o tsumi agete
kimi wa doko e boku wa doko e ikeba shiawase ni nareta?
kakureta tsuki otosu hikari bukiyou na futari no jikan maki modoshite

On nights like these, when I just want to shout, all the words that come to me are monochrome
Loneliness and loveliness, such feelings build up our fleeting time
Where should you, where should I, have gone to attain happiness?
The moon is hidden and tears drop, turning back our tactless time

（一人檻の中で君を照らすよ
遠く離れてても君を守るよ
二人刻む時は同じじゃないと
知っていても　知っても　君といたいよ）

(hitori ori no naka de kimi o terasu yo
tooku hanaretetemo kimi o mamoru yo
futari kizamu toki wa onaji janai to
shitteitemo shittemo kimi to itai yo )

(All alone in a cage, I’ll shine on you
No matter how far apart we are, I’ll protect you
Time doesn’t tick the same for us
I know that, I know, but I want to be with you)

見上げればそばにいるというけれど
それさえも今はチクチク痛むばかり
見上げればそばにいるというけれど
寂しくて　消えたくなる

sore sae mo ima wa chikuchiku itamu bakari
mi agereba soba ni iru to iu keredo

As long as I look up, you could say that you’re there with me,
however, even that now just hurts, stinging
As long as I look up, you could say that you’re there with me,
however, feeling lonely, I grow to want to disappear

ただ泣きたい　こんな夜は　何もかもが　モノクローム
悲しみとか　喜びとか　短い時を　積み上げて
君はどこへ　僕はどこへ　たどり着けるというのかな
輝く月　照らす陽光　すれ違う　二人の時間　巻き戻して
