叩いた　扉の　数だけ　涙を選ぶ
隠した　心の　影だけがそう　焼き付いた

tataita tobira no kazu dake namida o erabu
kakushita kokoro no kage dake ga sou yaki tsuita

For each door that I knocked on I choose tears
Only the shadows of a concealed heart, yes, scorched into me

だけどね　また何か　壊してしまう　夢だけを求めていた
痛い　痛い　痛い　のはなぜ？

dakedo ne mata nani ka kowashite shimau yume dake o motometeita
itai itai itai no wa naze?

However, hey, I accidentally destroy something again, I was only seeking a dream
a dream.. a dream.. a dream.. so why does it hurt?

I feel myself’s breaking apart
遠い春の日差しに包まれたまま
like a hide and seek 繰り返す
見えそうで 映らない　your POKER FACE

I feel myself’s breaking apart
tooi haru no hizashi ni tsutsumareta mama
like a hide and seek kuri kaesu
miesou de utsuranai your POKER FACE

I feel myself’s breaking apart
as I remain wrapped up by the sunlight of a far spring
like a hide and seek repeating
seemingly visible, yet blank, your POKER FACE

I don’t know how to touch your heart
忘れたくて　泣きたくて　でもできなくて
like a sunshine まだ 演じてる
そんな　POKER FACE my POKER FACE your POKER FACE

I don’t know how to touch your heart
wasuretakute nakitakute demo dekinakute
like a sunshine mada enjiteru
sonna POKER FACE my POKER FACE your POKER FACE

I don’t know how to touch your heart
I want to forget, I want to cry, but I just can’t
like a sunshine, still performing
that POKER FACE my POKER FACE your POKER FACE

暴いた　言葉の　数だけ　涙に暮れる
愛した　心の　傷だけがそう　焼き付いた

abaita kotoba no kazu dake namida ni kureru
aishita kokoro no kizu dake ga sou yaki tsuita

For each uncovered word I sink in tears
Only the wounds of a heart that loved, yes, scorched into me

4seasons will hide your everything
春の音　夏の声
秋の色　冬の夢
4seasons will break your everything
春の傷　夏の痕
秋の棘　冬の影

4seasons will hide your everything
haru no oto natsu no koe
aki no iro fuyu no yume
4seasons will break your everything
haru no kizu natsu no ato
aki no toge fuyu no kage

4seasons will hide your everything
The sound of spring, the voice of summer
the colours of fall, the dreams of winter
4seasons will break your everything
The wounds of spring, the scars of summer
the thorns of fall, the shadows of winter

だけどね　また誰か　泣かせてしまう　夢だけを信じていた
痛い　痛い　痛い　のはなぜ？

dakedo ne mata dare ka nakasete shimau yume dake o shinjiteita
itai itai itai no wa naze

However, hey, I accidentally make somebody cry again, I was only believing a dream
a dream.. a dream.. a dream.. so why does it hurt?

I feel myself’s breaking apart
淡い春の日差しに焼かれ続けて
think day and night わからない
どこまでも 不確かな　your POKER FACE

I feel myself’s breaking apart
awai haru no hizashi ni yakare tsudzukete
think day and night wakaranai
doko made mo futashika na your POKER FACE

I feel myself’s breaking apart
I continue to be burnt by the sunlight of a faint spring and
think day and night, but don’t understand
No matter where, it’s unclear, your POKER FACE

I don’t know how to touch your heart
伝えたくて　知りたくて　でもできなくて
until we can see the sunrise again
keep trying　POKER FACE my POKER FACE your POKER FACE
本当は　本当は　本当は……

I don’t know how to touch your heart
tsutaetakute shiritakute demo dekinakute
until we can see the sunrise again
keep trying　POKER FACE my POKER FACE your POKER FACE
hontou wa hontou wa hontou wa……

I don’t know how to touch your heart
I want to reach you, I want to know, but I just can’t
until we can see the sunrise again
keep trying　POKER FACE my POKER FACE your POKER FACE
that’s the truth, that’s the truth, that’s the truth……

Desire Dream

A very iconic Zytokine song, if you were to ask me, and the first song I heard from them actually.

★ Title: DESIRE DREAM
☆ Album: POP ICON
★ Album Artist: ZYTOKINE
☆ Vocals: itori
★ Arrangement and lyrics: Linjin (隣人)
☆ Original Title: Desire Dream (デザイアドリーム)
★ Website: http://zytokine-web.com


ああ　滲む　言葉　声にならないまま
ひとつ　ひとつ　飲み込んでは消えて

aa nijimu kotoba koe ni naranai mama
hitotsu hitotsu nomi konde wa kiete

Ah, these words, blurred, remain stuck inside me
one by one I swallow them down and they disappear

we are crossing the line
I don’t want to desire dream
崩れていく願い

we are crossing the line
I don’t want to desire dream
kuzurete iku negai

we are crossing the line
I don’t want to desire dream
This wish is crumbling

we are crossing the line
I don’t want to desire dream
凍えているばかり

we are crossing the line
I don’t want to desire dream
kogoeteiru bakari

we are crossing the line
I don’t want to desire dream
merely being frozen up

一つにできない　この想い
諦めたはずの　この想い
奇跡　願うには
哀しすぎて　哀しすぎて

hitotsu ni dekinai kono omoi
akirameta hazu no kono omoi
kiseki negau ni wa
kanashi sugite (samishi sugite) kanashi sugite

I can’t put these feelings together as one
these feelings that I thought I gave up on
To wish for a miracle it’s just
much too sad (much too lonely) much too sad

言葉にできない　この願い
涙にするには　もう遅い
もしも　叶うなら
ああ　そばにいて　ああ　そばにいて

kotoba ni dekinai kono negai
namida ni suru ni wa mou osoi
moshi mo kanau nara
aa soba ni ite aa soba ni ite

I can’t put this wish into any words
it’s already too late to break into tears
If my wish were to come true
ah, stay with me, ah, stay with me

ああ　もしも　願い　声にならないなら
それは　それは　あまりにもさみしい

aa moshi mo negai koe ni naranai nara
sore wa sore wa amari ni mo samishii

Ah, if this wish were to go untold
that would be, that would be, beyond lonely

we are crossing the line
I don’t want to desire dream
ただ眠っていたい

we are crossing the line
I don’t want to desire dream
tada nemutteitai

we are crossing the line
I don’t want to desire dream
I just want to be asleep

we are crossing the line
I don’t want to desire dream
迷っている光

we are crossing the line
I don’t want to desire dream
mayotteiru hikari

we are crossing the line
I don’t want to desire dream
Light wanders lost aimlessly

一つにできない　その心
諦めたはずの　その心
例え　叶っても
哀しすぎて　哀しすぎて

hitotsu ni dekinai sono kokoro
akirameta hazu no sono kokoro
tatoe kanattemo
kanashi sugite (samishi sugite) kanashi sugite

I can’t put that heart together as one
that heart that I thought I gave up on
Even if my wish does come true it’d be
much too sad (much too lonely) much too sad

言葉にするには　遠すぎて
涙の跡だけ　近すぎて
望んだ　答えは
ああ　そばにいた　ああ　そばにいた

kotoba ni suru ni wa too sugite
namida no ato dake chika sugite
nozonda kotae wa
aa soba ni ita aa soba ni ita

We’re already too distant to put it into words
The only thing unbearably close are these tear trails
The answer that I desired was for you to have
ah, stayed with me, ah, stayed with me

ああ　今も　願っては消えてく
ああ　今も　願っては癒えてく

aa ima mo negatte wa kiete ku
aa ima mo negatte wa iete ku

Ah, even now my wishes fade away
Ah, even now wishing heals

ああ　刻む　心　声にならないなら
どうか　どうか　このまま眠らせて

aa kizamu kokoro koe ni naranai kara
douka douka kono mama nemurasete

Ah, if I can’t speak of my engraved heart
somehow, please, let me sleep as it is…

I

Eh, not really enjoying the lyrics so much as the rest of the album. I just had to get my fill of Itori though, her voice is my drug. I should also mention that I can’t find a video for this song, though I may just not be looking hard enough.

★ Title: I
☆ Album: MOTHER NATURE
★ Album Artist: ZYTOKINE
☆ Vocals: itori
★ Arrangement and lyrics: Linjin (隣人)
☆ Original Title: The Primal Scene of Japan the Girl Saw (少女が見た日本の原風景)

どこまで　信じ続けても
誰も　自由に　なれないまま

doko made shinji tsudzuketemo
dare mo jiyuu ni narenai mama

No matter to what lengths you continue to believe
everyone will remain unable to become free

FLASH BACK　黄昏時に
FLASH BACK　響く稲妻
FLASH BACK　閉じた瞳に溢れて

FLASH BACK tasogaredoki ni
FLASH BACK hibiku inazuma
FLASH BACK tojita hitomi ni afurete

FLASH BACK, when time turns twilight
FLASH BACK, the storming lightning
FLASH BACK, will flood closed eyes

願いは星　廻る因果　誰も知らないまま
忘れたまま　光る声は　今も　震えてる
憂いは闇　杞憂は花　I を彩るけど
握ったままの　その手だけでは　何も愛せない

negai wa hoshi mawaru inga dare mo shiranai mama
wasureta mama hikaru koe wa ima mo furueteru
urei wa yami kiyuu wa hana I o inodoru kedo
nigitta mama no sono te dake de wa nani mo aisenai

Wishes are stars, karma comes around, everyone remains unaware
Forgotten as it is, a shining voice even now is shaking
Despair is darkness, phobias are flowers, I am coloured, although
with only those hands, remaining gripped, you can’t love anything

そうだね　呼び続けても
何も　未来は　視えないまま

sou da ne yobi tsudzuketemo
nani mo mirai wa mienai mama

Isn’t that right? Even if you continue to call out
nothing will be seen in the future

FLASH BACK　黄昏時に
FLASH BACK　滲むトラウマ
FLASH BACK　閉じた瞳で砕けて

FLASH BACK tasogaredoki ni
FLASH BACK nijimu torauma
FLASH BACK tojita hitomi de kudakete

FLASH BACK, when time turns to twilight
FLASH BACK, the spreading trauma
FLASH BACK, will break to pieces with closed eyes

選んだ星　揺れる銀河　傷は癒えないまま
叫んだまま　消えた声は　今も　震えてる
憂いは蔦　杞憂は棘　I に溺れた影
汚したままの　この手だけでは　誰も壊せない

eranda hoshi yureru ginga kizu wa ienai mama
sakenda mama kieta koe wa ima mo furueteru
urei wa tsuta kiyuu wa toge I ni oboreta kage
yogoshita mama no kono te dake de wa dare mo aisenai

Stars are chosen, the galaxy sways, scars remain unhealed
As it shouted, the voice that vanished even now is shaking
Anxiety is ivy, phobias are thorns, the shadows drowned in me
With these hands alone, remaining tainted, I can’t destroy anyone

願いは星　廻る因果　誰も知らないまま
忘れたまま　光る声は　今も　震えてる
憂いは闇　杞憂は花　I を彩るけど
握ったままの　その手だけでは　何も愛せない

negai wa hoshi mawaru inga dare mo shiranai mama
wasureta mama hikaru koe wa ima mo furueteru
urei wa yami kiyuu wa hana I o inodoru kedo
nigitta mama no sono te dake de wa nani mo aisenai

Wishes are stars, karma comes around, everyone remains unaware
Forgotten as it is, the shining voice even now is shaking
Despair is darkness, phobias are flowers, I am coloured, although
with only those hands, remaining gripped, you can’t love anything

いつか消えていくとわかっていて
何を欲しがっていたんだろう
絡み付いた鎖を　嬉しそうに　泣きながら　抱きしめて

itsu ka kiete iku to wakatteite
nani o hoshigatteita n darou
karami tsuita kusari o ureshisou ni nakinagara daki shimete

Someday we’ll disappear, you understood that
What was it that you wanted I wonder
While crying you gladly embraced the chains twined around you

いつも消えていくとわかっていて
描いたはずの淡い心
混ぜた色は　もうぐしゃぐしゃのまま　泣きながら　走り抜けた

itsu mo kiete iku to wakatteite
egaita hazu no awai kokoro
mazeta iro wa mou gushagusha no mama nakinagara hashiri nuketa

Things are always disappearing, you understood that
Your faint heart should have been painted
While crying you ran by as the stirred colours were already a mess

時が
経てば　きっと見えるよ　鮮やかな色

toki ga
tateba kitto mieru yo azayaka na iro

But if time
were to pass I’m sure you’d see a brilliant colour

巡り巡る　命の絆を　この風に乗せ　繋いでいくのさ
終わる事は　悲しいことじゃない　失う物は　何もない
巡り巡る　未来のパズルを　この歌に乗せ　繋いでいくのさ
物言わぬ花びら　教えてくれた　生きる事の　美しさを

meguri meguru inochi no kizuna o kono kaze ni nose tsunaide iku no sa
owaru koto wa kanashii koto janai ushinau mono wa nani mo nai
meguri meguru mirai no pazuru o kono uta ni nose tsunaide iku no sa
mono iwanu hanabira oshiete kureta ikiru koto no utsukushisa o

Going round and round, take life’s bonds and let them fly on this wind, they’re all tied you see
Things that come to an end don’t have to be sad, there’s nothing to be lost
Going round and round, take the future’s puzzles and let them fly on this song, they’re all tied you see
The flower petals without saying a word taught me the beauty of living

いつか枯れていくとわかっていて
だから欲しがっていたんだろう
愛せない言葉を　嬉しそうに　泣きながら　抱きしめて

itsu ka karete iku to wakatteite
dakara hoshigatteita n darou
aisenai kotoba o ureshisou ni nakinagara daki shimete

Someday we’ll whither away, you understood that
it was for that reason that you had desires wasn’t it?
While crying you gladly embraced close those unlovable words

いつもそばにいると思っていた
忘れたはずの幼い心
混ぜた音は　もうめちゃくちゃのまま　泣きながら　走り抜けた

itsu mo soba ni iru to omotteita
wasureta hazu no osanai kokoro
mazeta oto wa mou mechakucha no mama nakinagara hashiri nuketa

I’ll always be by your side, you had thought that
Your young heart should have forgotten
While crying you ran by as the blended sounds were already scrambled

だけど
いつか　きっと会えるよ　新しい歌

dakedo
itsu ka kitto aeru yo atarashii uta

However
someday we’ll surely be able to see a brand new song

巡り巡る　命の螺旋を　この風に乗せ　繋いでいくのさ
消える事は　悲しい事じゃない　失う色は　何もない
巡り巡る　未来の奇跡を　この歌に乗せ　繋いでいくのさ
舞い上がる花びら　教えてくれた　願う事の　美しさを

meguri meguru inochi no rasen o kono kaze ni nose tsunaide iku no sa
kieru koto wa kanashii koto janai ushinau iro wa nani mo nai
meguri meguru mirai no kiseki o kono uta ni nose tsunaide iku no sa
mai agaru hanabira oshiete kureta negau koto no utsukushisa o

Going round and round, take the spiral of life and let it fly on this wind, it’s connected you see
Things that fade away don’t have to be sad, there’s no colours to be lost
Going round and round, take the future’s miracles and let them fly on this song, they’re all tied you see
The flower petals dancing and soaring high taught me the beauty of making wishes

散りゆく　花の色　一瞬の　まぶしさに
心奪われたまま　『その時』　まで　生きている

chiri yuku hana no iro isshun no mabushisa ni
kokoro ubawareta mama 『sono toki』 made ikiteiru

When the colours of the falling flowers in a moment of radiance
have stolen my heart, until “that time” I’ll be alive

時が
経てば　きっと見えるよ　鮮やかな色

toki ga
tateba kitto mieru yo azayaka na iro

But if time
were to pass I’m sure you’d see a brilliant colour

巡り巡る　命の絆を　この風に乗せ　繋いでいくのさ
