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

After hours of getting distracted over and over again, I’ve finally finished the titular track of the album. I’m a sucker for “beauty of the world” style lyrics though. Actually, scratch that, I’m a sucker for most kinds of lyrics.

★ Title: MOTHER NATURE
☆ Album: MOTHER NATURE
★ Album Artist: ZYTOKINE
☆ Vocals: cold kiss (Nana Takahashi (高橋 菜々))
★ Arrangement and lyrics: Linjin (隣人)
☆ Original Title: Broken Moon (砕月)


言葉で　描けない　優しさ　教えてくれたのは　誰だろう
まだ　まだ　ここに残ってる

kotoba de egakenai yasashisa oshiete kureta no wa dare darou
mada mada koko ni nokotteru

Who were the ones who taught me the kindness that can’t be described with words I wonder
They’re still, they’re still, remaining right here

形に　残せない　勇気を　教えてくれたのは　誰だろう
まだ　まだ　ここで歌ってる

katachi ni nokosenai yuuki o oshiete kureta no wa darou
mada mada koko de utatteru

Who were the ones who taught me the courage that can’t retain a shape I wonder
They’re still, they’re still, singing right here

太陽　月　光　花　風　霞
木漏れ日　夕立　笑顔　涙
朧月夜　若葉　陽炎　薄氷　蜃気楼

taiyou tsuki hikari hana kaze kasumi
komorebi yuudachi egao namida
oborodzukiyo wakaba kagerou usurai shinkirou

The sun, the moon, light, flowers, wind and mist
rays of light through the trees, evening rain, smiles and tears
misty moonlit nights, young leaves, heat hazes, thin ice and mirages

太陽　月　光　青葉　夕凪
夜空　走馬灯　笑顔　涙
青嵐　万緑　蝉時雨　漣　星の色

taiyou tsuki hikari aoba yuunagi
yozora soumatou egao namida
aoarashi banryoku semishigure sazanami hoshi no iro

The sun, the moon, light, fresh leaves and the calm evening sea
The night sky, revolving lanterns, smiles and tears
wind through nature, myriads of greenery, the cicada’s cries, water ripples, and the colour of the stars

心を　満たせない　涙を　教えてくれたのは　誰だろう
まだ　まだ　ここに眠ってる

kokoro o motasenai namida o oshiete kureta no wa dare darou
mada mada koko ni nemutteru

Who were the ones who taught me about the tears that don’t cause your heart fill up I wonder
They’re still, they’re still sleeping here

太陽　月　光　色の無い風
流れ星　雨月　笑顔　涙
星月夜　落葉　露時雨　黄昏　帰り花

taiyou tsuki hikari iro no nai kaze
nagareboshi ugetsu egao namida
hoshidzukiyo ochiba tsuyu shigure tasogare kaeribana

The sun, the moon, light, and the colourless wind
shooting stars, rainy nights, smiles and tears
starry nights, falling leaves, outbursts of dew, twilight and reblooming flowers

太陽　月　光　吐息　風花
長い夜　泡沫　笑顔　涙
浮寝鳥　水面　雪時雨　水涸る　銀の色

taiyou tsuki hikari toiki kazabana
nagai yo utakata egao namida
ukinedori minamo yuki shigure mizu karu gin no iro

The sun, the moon, light, deep breaths and snow flurries on the wind
long nights, bubbles on water, smiles and tears
birds sleeping while they float, the water’s surface, snow showers, evaporation, and the colour of silver

懐かしさを忘れてく　もう遠い想い出
風の香りに　心の棘を　残すばかり

natsukashisa o wasurete ku mou tooi omoide
kaze no kaori ni kokoro no toge o nokosu bakari

Forgetting about nostalgia, those are already distant memories
I’ll just leave my heart’s thorns on the wind’s scent

全ては巡り　何度も繰り返す
春夏秋冬　夢　笑顔　涙
生きる事の本当の意味を　教えてくれていた

subete wa meguri nando mo kurikaesu
shunkashuutou yume egao namida
ikiru koto no hontou no imi o oshiete kureteita

Everything cycles, over and over it repeats
Spring, summer, fall, winter, dreams, smiles and tears
Everything taught me what it truly means to be alive

MOTHER NATURE 想像を超えた先へ
何度　躓いてもかまわない
１人だけど　でも独りじゃない　心は　そばにいる

MOTHER NATURE souzou o koeta saki e
nando tsumazuitemo kamawanai
hitori dakedo demo hitori janai kokoro wa soba ni iru

MOTHER NATURE, beyond my imagination
It doesn’t matter how many times I trip up
Even though I’m in solitude, I’m not alone, my heart is with me

MOTHER NATURE 未来を　紡いでいく
全てを包み込む　その愛で
１人だけど　でも独りじゃない　世界はそばにいる

MOTHER NATURE mirai o tsumuide yuku
subete o tsutsumi komu sono ai de
hitori dakedo demo hitori janai sekai wa soba ni iru

MOTHER NATURE, weaving the threads of the future
wrapping up everything up with it’s love
Even though I’m in solitude, I’m not alone, the world is with me

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 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

If you’ve ever wondered how good you are at speaking Japanese, try singing along. To say this song is fast paced would be an understatement.

信じたふりをしただけ　わかったふりをしただけ
今は浮かんでいたいだけ　それだけなのに

shinjita furi o shita dake wakatta furi o shita dake
ima wa ukandeitai dake sore dake nanoni

I only pretended to believe, I only pretended to understand
Right now I just want to float about, that and that alone

曖昧なものばかり　真実のふりをしてる
正しさの意味　教えてよ　流した涙で　溺れる前に

aimai na mono bakari shinjitsu no furi o shiteru
tadashisa no imi oshiete yo nagashita namida de oboreru mae ni

Although everything is unclear, all just pretending to be real
Teach me the point of truth, before I drown in all the tears I’ve shed

crush on this word　言葉を探して
crush on this world　世界を探して

crush on this word kotoba o sagashite

crush on this word, search for the word

My existence, your existence, I wish everything would be deleted
Distance and space, borderlines too, I wish everything would be deleted
With a “good bye” or with a “good night” if it all became deleted it’d be great
because even if we were deleted nothing would change in this world

罪の存在も　過ぎた偶像も　全部消えちゃえばいい
音も旋律も　聴きたくないよ　全部消えちゃえばいい
「さよなら」なんて　「ありがとう」なんて　いらないんだって

The existence of sin, idols that have passed, I wish everything would be deleted
I don’t want to listen to any sounds or tunes, I wish everything would be deleted
I don’t need any “good byes” or any “thank yous” because after all
in that kind of world I’ll become whole and live on

探したふりをしただけ　見つけたふりをしただけ
今は眠っていたいだけ　それだけなのに

sagashita furi o shita dake mitsuketa furi o shita dake

I only pretended to search, I only pretended to have found
Right now I just want to be asleep, that and that alone

目が覚める事はない　このまま溶けてしまいたい
世界の意味を　教えてよ　壊した世界で　壊れる前に

me ga sameru koto wa nai kono mama tokete shimaitai

Although there’s nothing to wake me up, I just want to fade away like this
Teach me the point of the world, before I break myself in this broken world
