BedAbble!!

Linjin recently tweeted about the lyrics he doesn’t put in the booklet, saying “it’s good if only the people who do understand understand!” so I figured I’d follow through with this and leave out the parts not written in the booklet from now on (unless it’s crucial to understanding).

眩しさに 染まって 焦がれたままの闇に沈む
君のその夢 飛び散る黒で 染め上げていく
永遠のその先 透けた墓標に映る影は
落とす文字のように 刻まれては滲んだまま

mabushisa ni somatte kogareta mama no yami ni shizumu
kimi no sono yume tobi chiru kuro de some agete yuku
eien no sono saki suketa bohyou ni utsuru kage wa
otosu moji no you ni kizamarete wa nijinda mama

Being ingrained with radiance, I sink into the dark I yearned for
I’ll stain that dream of yours with the black scattering around
The shadows cast on the clear tombstones beyond eternity
are left to remain blurred after being engraved, just like lost letters

あたたかな春の日差しの下で眠る 汚れた欲望を
黒とも白ともつかぬ色で染め上げては まだ捨てられずに

atataka na haru no hizashi no moto de nemuru yogoreta yokubou o
kuro to mo shiro to mo tsukanu iro de some agete wa mada suterarezu ni

My desires, sleeping under the warm rays of the spring sun, are filthied
Upon dying them a colour, neither black nor white, I’m yet unable to throw them away

目隠しをして 踊り続ける 笑われて また汚されて

mekakushi o shite odori tsudzukeru warawarete mata yogosarete

Putting on a blindfold, I continue to dance, being laughed at and again being disgraced

何も知らずに 笑ってた 傷つかずに 傷つけて
誰もかもが 迷子だね
探して 独りきり 幻を……

nani mo shirazu ni waratteta kizutsukazu ni kizutsukete
dare mo kamo ga maigo da ne
sagashite hitori kiri yume o……

Not knowing a thing, I had laughed, giving pain without getting hurt
Isn’t everyone a lost child?
Searching, all on their own, for dreams……

暗闇に 照らされ 凍えたままの光に問う
君のその夢 舞い散る白で 染め上げていく
戸惑いのその傷 透けた墓標に映る影は
消した文字のように 沈黙を守り続けて

kurayami ni terasare kogoeta mama no hikari ni tou
kimi no sono yume mai chiru shiro de some agete yuku
tomadoi no sono kizu saketa bohyou ni utsuru kage wa
keshita moji no you ni chinmoku o mamori tsudzukete

I question the light remaining frozen, shined upon by the darkness
I’ll stain that dream of yours with the white dancing down
As wounds of confusion, the shadows cast on the clear tombstones
continue to defend the silence just like erased letters

あたたかな春の日差しの下で眠る 汚れた欲望を
黒とも白ともつかぬ色で染め上げては まだ捨てられずに

atataka na haru no hizashi no moto de nemuru yogoreta yokubou o
kuro to mo shiro to mo tsukanu iro de some agete wa mada suterarezu ni

My desires, sleeping under the warm rays of the spring sun, are filthied
Upon dying them a colour, neither black nor white, I’m yet unable to throw them away

目隠しをして 歌い続ける 残されて また捨てられて

mekakushi o shite utai tsudzukeru nokosarete mata suterarete

Putting on a blindfold, I continue to sing, being left behind and again discarded

何も知らずに 泣いていた 傷はないのに 痛すぎて
その痛みで 塗りつぶして
汚すよ 独りきり 幻を……

nani mo shirazu ni naiteita kizu wa nai noni itasugite
sono itami de nuri tsubushite
yogosu yo hitori kiri yume o……

Not knowing a thing, I had cried, hurting far too much, though I have no wounds
With that pain, I’ll blot it all out
I’ll corrupt, all on my own, the dreams……

Complete Darkness

I know some people that could really use this song right now.

幼い日の 眠りから 醒めた時の ような闇
眩しくて でも暗くて 蒼い鏡に 囚われた

osanai hi no nemuri kara sameta toki no you na yami
mabushikute demo kurakute aoi kagami ni torawareta

The darkness was similar to when I awoke from my childhood slumber
With it so blinding, yet dark, I was trapped in a dulled blue mirror

あの手この手 尽くしては 白い頁 埋め合わせ
書き記した 絵空事 綺麗に黒く滲んで

ano te kono te tsukushite wa shiroi peeji ume awase
kaki shirushita esoragoto kirei ni kuroku nijinde

The result of exhausting so many measures, making up for having a blank page
I wrote down wishes that could never come true, prettily blurred black

答えなんてないのかもしれなかったけど
ただ暗闇に向かって叫んでいたかった

kotae nante nai no ka mo shirenakatta kedo
tada kurayami ni mukatte sakendeitakatta

There may not have been an answer although
I just wanted to face the darkness and keep shouting

泣きたくて 泣きたくて くじけそうな夜は
君だけの 君だけの 歌を 歌えばいいさ
深い闇 その先に 閉じ込められた想い 輝く時がくるさ

nakitakute nakitakute kujikesou na yoru wa
kimi dake no kimi dake no uta o utaeba ii sa
fukai yami sono saki ni toji komerareta omoi kagayaku toki ga kuru sa

On nights when, on nights when you feel crushed and want to cry
it’s best to, it’s best to just sing your own song
There’ll come a time when your feelings locked at the end of the darkness will shine bright

悲しくて 悲しくて 凍えそうな夜は
君だけの 君だけの 夢を 歌えばいいさ
深い闇 何もかも見えなくても 感じる

kanashikute kanashikute kogoesou na yoru wa
kimi dake no kimi dake no yume o utaeba ii sa
fukai yami nani mo kamo mienakutemo kanjiru

On nights when, on nights when you’re sad and feel frozen
it’s best to, it’s best to just sing about your dreams
Even if you can’t see a single thing in the abyss, you’ll feel

温かい愛の光

atatakai ai no hikari

the warm light of love

あれもこれも 欲しがって 手に入れては 手放して
持て余した 絵空事 綺麗に黒く滲んで

are mo kore mo hoshigatte te ni irete wa tebanashite
mote amashita esoragoto kirei ni kuroku nijinde

Desiring this and that, I attained them and then let them go
I had too many wishes that could never come true, prettily blurred black

光なんてないのかもしれなかったけど
ただもう一度光に心奪われたかった

hikari nante nai no ka mo shirenakatta kedo
tada mou ichido hikari ni kokoro ubawaretakatta

There may not have been any light although
I just wanted to have my heart stolen by the light one more time

どこまでも どこまでも 走れそうな夜は
君だけの 君だけの 道を 進めばいいさ
深い闇 その先に 捨てられていた想い 何度でも出会えるさ

doko made mo doko made mo hashiresou na yoru wa
kimi dake no kimi dake no michi o susumeba ii sa
fukai yami sono saki ni suterareteita omoi nando demo deaeru sa

On nights that, on nights that seem like they could go on and on
it’s best to, it’s best to just follow your own path
You’ll be able to see your deserted feelings at the end of the darkness as much as you want

いつまでも いつまでも 明けなそうな夜も
君だけの 君だけの 朝を 願えばいいさ
深い闇 傷跡は癒えなくても 感じる

itsu made mo itsu made mo akunasou na yoru mo
kimi dake no kimi dake no asa o negaeba ii sa
fukai yami kizuato wa ienakutemo kanjiru

On nights that, on nights that seem like the dawn will never come
it’s best to, it’s best to just wish for your own morning
Even if your wounds won’t heal in the abyss, you’ll feel

揺るぎない愛の光

yurugi nai ai no hikari

the steady light of love

泣きたくて 泣きたくて くじけそうな夜は
君だけの 君だけの 歌を 歌えばいいさ
深い闇 その先に 閉じ込められた想い 輝く時がくるさ

nakitakute nakitakute kujikesou na yoru wa
kimi dake no kimi dake no uta o utaeba ii sa
fukai yami sono saki ni toji komerareta omoi kagayaku toki ga kuru sa

On nights when, on nights when you feel crushed and want to cry
it’s best to, it’s best to just sing your own song

悲しくて 悲しくて 凍えそうな夜は
君だけの 君だけの 夢を 歌えばいいさ

On nights when, on nights when you’re sad and feel frozen
it’s best to, it’s best to just sing about your dreams
Even if you can’t see a single thing in the abyss, you’ll feel

Rebooted Chaos

“he really needs to chill on the treble tho
keeps going next level every album”
– Friend on Linjin

I like treble. The lyrics feel a little bit awkward in this song, but that’s probably just me.
Translation last updated: 19/08/2020. The awkwardness was indeed just me.

研ぎすました その感覚 触れただけで 切れる意識
何もかもが 理想の世界 何もかもが この手の内
何を怖がっているの その一歩 踏み出したなら
何度でも始まって行く その遊戯 悪夢の終わり

togi sumashita sono kankaku fureta dake de kireru ishiki
nani mo kamo ga risou no sekai nani mo kamo ga kono te no uchi
nani o kowagatteiru no sono ippo fumi dashita nara
nando demo hajimatte yuku sono geemu akumu no owari

Their senses are so on edge, just a touch will make them lose consciousness
In a world where everything’s ideal, everything is in the palms of my hands
What are you afraid of? If you took that single step
it’d start as many times as it takes – that game, the end of nightmares

遥かずっと前から 呼ばれていた気がした
遠く響く懐かしい 眠れる恐怖の色

haruka zutto mae kara yobareteita ki ga shita
tooku hibiku natsukashii nemureru kyoufu no iro

For a long time now, I’ve felt like it’s been calling for me
The haunting colour of sleeping terror, echoing far and wide

瞳に映る 狂気の色 華やいで 咲き乱れて
何をされたかも わからないままでいいよ さようなら
(くるくる回る 光は舞い踊る)
諦めて また繰り返す 何度でも
焼かれて 落ちて また抱きしめて

hitomi ni utsuru kyouki no iro hanayaide saki midarete
nani o sareta kamo wakaranai mama de ii yo sayounara
(kuru kuru mawaru hikari wa mai odoru)
akiramete mata kuri kaesu nando demo
yakarete ochite mata daki shimete

Reflected in my eyes, the colour of madness, flowering, blooming out of control
I don’t know what happened to me, but I don’t care, this is goodbye
(Round and round in circles, the light dances around)
I’ll give up and try again
, as much as it takes
Being scorched, and falling before embracing it again

嘘みたいな この感覚 触れただけで 溶ける意識
何もかもが 終わったみたい 何もかもが 終わった世界
何を怖がっていたの その笑顔 凍らせたまま
何度でも終わらせて逝く この遊戯 悪夢の終わり

uso mitai na kono kankaku fureta dake de tokeru ishiki
nani mo kamo ga owatta mitai nani mo kamo ga owatta sekai
nani o kowagatteita no sono egao kooraseta mama
nando demo owasete yuku kono geemu akumu no owari

My senses feel like their lying, just a touch makes my consciousness dissolve
Everything seems like it’s over, a world where everything has ended
What were you afraid of? As your face remains frozen
I’ll make it end over and over – this game, the end of nightmares

遥かずっと前から 壊れていた気がした
重く響く狂おしい 眠れる恐怖の棘

haruka zutto mae kara kowareteita ki ga shita
omoku hibiku kuruoshii nemureru kyoufu no toge

For a long time now, I felt like I’ve been broken
The maddening thorns of sleeping terror echo heavily

瞳に落ちた 狂気の光 焼きついて 動けなくて
何が起きたかも わからないままでいいよ さようなら
(くるくる回る 光は舞い踊る)
枯れ果てて また芽吹くように 何度でも
射抜かれて それでも 抱きしめて

hitomi ni ochita kyouki no hikari yaki tsuite ugokenakute
nani ga okita ka mo wakaranai mama de ii yo sayounara
(kuru kuru mawaru hikari wa mai odoru)
kare hatete mata mebuku you ni nando demo
inukarete sore demo daki shimete

The light of madness that befell my eyes burns into me – I’m unable to move
I don’t know what happened, but I don’t care, this is goodbye
(Round and round in circles, the light dances around)
As if withering and budding again, as much as it takes
I’ll be pierced, but even so I’ll embrace it

瞳に映る 狂気の色 華やいで 咲き乱れて
何をされたかも わからないままでいいよ さようなら
(くるくる回る 光は舞い踊る)
諦めて また繰り返す 何度でも
焼かれて 落ちて また抱きしめて

hitomi ni utsuru kyouki no iro hanayaide saki midarete
nani o sareta kamo wakaranai mama de ii yo sayounara
(kuru kuru mawaru hikari wa mai odoru)
akiramete mata kuri kaesu nando demo
yakarete ochite mata daki shimete

Reflected in my eyes, the colour of madness, flowering, blooming out of control
I don’t know what happened to me, but I don’t care, this is goodbye
(Round and round in circles, the light dances around)
I’ll give up and try again, as much as it takes
Being scorched, and falling before embracing it again

Of course, I had to start this album by translating the PoDD song.
I’ve probably said this before, but Linjin really knows how to work Nachi’s voice.

冷たい沈黙 夢は時空を超え どこへ向かう
一つ二つの間違いはあるけれど いいよ

tsumetai chinmoku yume wa jikuu o koe doko e mukau
hitotsu futatsu no machigai wa aru keredo ii yo

Cold silence and dreams transcend space-time, where do they go?
There are one or two mistakes, but that’s fine

夜の色 赤い月 碧い夢の所在
(人知れず 消えてゆく 儚い夢のような)
寂しげに笑ってた あの夢は今どこに
(人知れず 溶けてゆく 拙い愛のような)

yoru no iro akai tsuki aoi yume no arika
(hito shirezu kiete yuku hakanai yume no you na)
samishige ni waratteta ano yume wa ima doko ni
(hito shirezu tokete yuku tsutanai ai no you na)

The night’s colours, the red moon, and blue dreams’ whereabouts
(Hidden from people, fading away, like transient dreams)
Lonesomely I had laughed, where are those dreams right now?
(Hidden from people, melting away, like crude affection)

薄い 氷の上に残されたままの想い さよならを告げて

usui koori no ue ni nokosareta mama no omoi sayonara o tsugete

Remaining left behind on top of thin ice, my feelings, I say goodbye to you

Through the everlasting night sky, at that unique speed of yours
fantastic drive fantastic drive
Exceed even gravity, don’t let anyone get in the way
fantastic drive fantastic drive
Leap over common sense, fantastic drive fantastic drive
Transcend time and space itself, fantastic drive, with more and more freedom

冷たい衝動 夢は時空を超え 何を映す
何か足りないような気がするけれど いいよ

tsumetai shoudou yume wa jikuu o koe nani o utsusu
nani ka tarinai you na ki ga suru keredo ii yo

Cold impulses and dreams transcend space-time, what do they project?
I get the feeling that something’s missing, but that’s fine

夜の色 黒い星 蒼い夢の結末
(人知れず 消えてゆく 儚い夢のような)
哀しげに祈ってた あの夢は今どこに
(人知れず 溶けてゆく 拙い愛のような)

yoru no iro kuroi hoshi aoi yume no owari
(hito shirezu kiete yuku hakanai yume no you na)
kanashige ni inotteta ano yume wa ima doko ni
(hito shirezu tokete yuku tsutanai ai no you na)

The night’s colours, black stars, and the end of blue dreams
(Hidden from people, fading away, like transient dreams)
I had sorrowfully prayed, where are those dreams right now?
(Hidden from people, melting away, like crude affection)

脆い 硝子の中に残されたままの願い さよならを告げて

moroi garasu no naka ni nokosareta mama no negai sayonara o tsugete

Remaining left behind inside brittle glass, my wishes, I say goodbye to you

どこまでも響く歌を 君だけのその旋律で

暗闇さえ切り裂いて 光速さえ切り裂いて

Sing an ever-sounding song, with that unique melody of yours

Rip through the darkness, rip through the speed of light

Paint a new layer over common sense, fantastic drive fantastic drive
Rewrite time and space itself, fantastic drive, heading further and further
