The sun is too close, I’ll hide the traces of sunburn with my hand On a lukewarm beach, in worn out swimming tubes, we stopped trying to talk with our frayed tongues
I can see rain clouds on the opposite shore, is it ok to say it now? I’m a drowning fish, and you’re laughing at me
“What’s wrong?” Even if you ask I can’t answer, I won’t even try I’m bored, but it’s not so bad Still, I’m afraid That everything will come to nothing
The downpour is purifying us, I’m glad it’s happening now I’m a fish that can walk, somehow you’re surprised
How far can we go? We already know We’re just going along with our nature
I can see a light on the opposite shore I see the day you jumped up on your feet I’m a drowning fish, and you’re spreading your wings
How far can we go? We already know We’re just going along with our nature
It’s the height of childishness We won’t ever admit it Even if it twists and turns, the unchanging river struggles on ahead And we just watched.
Passing through blood vessels, your voice, and your eyes Tearing through my body As though it were poison, coagulating my blood
A girl strikes the backdoor Throwing away her facade A shotgun was left in the attic A rotted arm too, in the corner of the basement We’re all swept up in the current
I threw the phone against the wall, touched your cheek, your hair, your lips The pink scattered about the sofa, give it to the dog next door too
This town is too bright My eyes ache, they ache, all the time I’m ready Turn off all the lights in the house, light a candle, and I’ll get undressed with you
We’ve finished ascending Altitude sickness sets in At the shop kilometers ahead, a band is jumping out of a bus They won’t play your favorite songs, not them
The floor is smoky, the lighting rough, you’re jumping up and down Then on to a ballade Passing through blood vessels, your voice, your eyes We’re ready Turn off all lights in the house, light a candle, and I’ll get undressed with you
It was easy, it was just a light push Having awakened from a nightmare, we tried not to regret our mistakes Turn over, lie face down, lie face down With a ringing chord* our demons were dying When we swing our paintbrushes, we were able to breathe
Even if we’re told not to dream There’s no human who can do that, right?
Surely, we can do it, surely we can do it
Come, light it on fire At first it was a candle’s flame, and now In the midst of a storm, we’re protecting it with feeble breaths Piling it atop each other in our palms, even if we’re burned
It was easy to pull the trigger The flying bullet jumps about, scattering sparks everywhere Each time dazzling our eyes, and we can see a vision It’s colliding, changing shape, being refined It comes with pain, but don’t accept it, we’ll continue to fight
Come, light it on fire, don’t lie to the world, we’re still An unvalued diamond Let’s make a deal with no chance of success We’re putting up a bluff, imagining, then painting it out
Even if we’re laughed at, that our dreams won’t take shape I’ll live as a force of nature, that’s what I’ll do As a giant rain cloud
Come, let’s light it on fire, at first it was a candle’s flame, but now Our footprints are bursting into flames, it’s become a path of worth Our next step, our new vision, our coming pain
It was easy, getting here And after murmuring so, we looked ahead without turning back Once again, we’ll set things afire, set afire, set afire…
The arm I lost still hurts, I found you crawling and turning about I saw the sun fall into the ocean, I’m fine with never seeing again
From now on, and forever, the morning will never come I looked only at your eyes
Even with the weight of love on our 4 eyelids, they won’t break C’mon, say you won’t forget Hey, stay by my side
Make the rain fall, even if it fills the well My voice is completely dried out Let’s disappear without explanation, and return to the earth A drowsiness after deeds done with you
Even with the weight of love on our 4 eyelids, they won’t break C’mon, say you won’t forget Hey, stay by my side
The arm I lost still hurts, it won’t heal, I don’t need a replacement I saw the sun settle down into the ocean, I’ll take on all the weight
There’s a death that saves In order for us to be reborn Let’s throw ourselves into the scorching heat
Drop the weight of love on my eyelids, Hey, I can love you Creaking with your body’s weight, let me hear the sound of bones in your arm
Stop hitting the car so much, wait just a second The computer’s gone crazy Those neon signs, hotel signs, their names are all fake anyways, right? I say I can’t swim, but actually I can. Love is a muddy stream, screaming voices, your make-up case and your friends They won’t be reflected in the mirror Can’t be reflected
I’ve stopped counting the number of months You say I have a cold heart (A cold heart, it pisses me off) But my expression doesn’t change (Come chase me, till the end) Because I feel nothing for what you’re bargaining for.
Pink stars, worthless lies It’s been bugging, since a while ago It feels like the wrong line of code was cut out
Stop hitting the car so much, wait just a second, the computer’s gone crazy The signals you give, a waiting game of love… the answer’s going to be “no” anyways You can’t swim, but actually I can* My skin weathering away, your voice in my ears, the things you desire and my friends Are reflected in the mirror, held under my arms
Pink stars, a night frozen still It’s lagging, feels like having on a wrong coat I should’ve worn a long time ago Pink stars, lies washed ashore I’m getting out, I’m just obsessed with a game I should’ve quit a long time ago
Stop hitting the car so much The computer’s gone crazy
*There is a change of subject here since the line “You can’t swim” is sung by another voice, directed towards Yuuki’s voice, who replies “but actually I can”. This is clear when you listen to the song.
Even though I’m told I just don’t get it, I’m not hurt at all. Read between the lines, you say? Well, why don’t you try to guess what I’m thinking of You can ask that of me, but I can’t ask that of you. Whether I get it right or not, I’d still be called one pitiful guy Why not try dumping all that out on the internet? Use the ‘laughing while crying’ emoji that I find so annoying
Just admit to me You’re not satisfied That’s what weighs on my heart
The two of us are simpler than you think My reasons have always been simpler than you think While you were sleeping, I thought long and hard About how I’d explain to you, wondering whether at all I can
Even though I’m told I just don’t get it, I’m not hurt at all. I have to hear about other people so distant from me, but you won’t even listen to what I have to say, right in front of you You can ask that of me, but I can’t ask that of you. All you need is someone to vent and nod along to. Why don’t you put that stuff on the internet? Use the ‘spread hands and laughing’ emoji that I find so annyoing
Let me hug you But it’s not enough That’s what weighs on my heart
The two of us are simpler than you think My feelings have always been simpler than you think While you were crying, I thought long and hard About you who I love, searching for what made you cry The two of us are simpler than you think My reasons have always been simpler than you think And while you were laughing, I thought long and hard About how I might keep you that way, always Forever
If there’s ever reason to tremble, look at the beautiful flower You should know that, it’s the way to endure this pain There’s not a single worthy thing about me You should know, it’s what you chose
Lift your head and look at what’s in front of you Erase everything inside your mind Throw away that crooked canvas And say it, over and over
We don’t know anything, we just don’t know anything We painted a place for ourselves, confused all the while We wet our wounds each time we cry. Let’s just say not knowing… …Is the law of love. If you see it, then let’s bind our arms for the coming storm
Rather than overthinking, I want to be able to trust my feelings I’ll strike with both hands which I’ve held down till now
Let me see your face, there are some things I know for sure Caught inside my own mind, Spilling over the widening canvas, I raised my voice loudly
We don’t know anything, we just don’t know anything We painted our ideals, making a mess of ourselves Each time we cry, we wet the earth, and if what we don’t know becomes a flower That’s fine. When I see it, I’ll look back, and love you for the first time
We don’t know anything… Ever at a loss… the law of love
You won’t ever show your weakness, even when the days don’t seem to be getting better. In the same way, You’re drinking in too much tears, while your eyelids get heavier It’s either pride, or something else. Open your eyes wide, so they don’t drop further.
Let’s blur them, these two lines If every night we are reborn Not a thing will be left, nothing will remain of us We’ll go with these fetters on our feet
What’s the meaning of this fight? Every day, you won’t answer, and yet Swimming through your tears, I know we’re getting closer to one Motivation, and regret. Let’s take care not to confuse the two
Let’s blur things, above the line of the earth When we fly, and climb over every step There’ll be nothing around, nothing to support us But even as we’re thrown off balance Let’s keep going
The joystick was smashed, I can’t control it But let’s keep staring miles ahead Every night, I’m reborn So instead of thinking about it, I’ll head toward my new self
I remember, the day I met you was hot as usual Whether it was fate or coincidence I don’t know, but… Though everyone has their own path, I realized we were looking the same way How many short summers have we spent together
On the way home on a depressing day I sat on a bench in the park And looking back on my nostalgic memories The melody of a song I sang with you flows over me
Bathing in the orange of the setting sun, have we become a little more mature? As we chased ourselves into a daze, there were things we didn’t realize Bathing in the orange of the setting sun, have we become a little more mature? I hope we can continue to exchange “see you tomorrow”’s from now on Aah, the wind is blowing
Fooling around on sleepless nights, we laughed at silly things As long as I was with you, I’m wasn’t afraid of the future
I jumped aboard the last bus My tired face is reflected in the bus window Somehow I get a little lonely And I want to see you, no matter what
Looking up at a starless night sky, we spoke of a single dream Though that wish is about to be cut short, it alone shines to me Looking up at a starless night sky, we spoke of a single dream Our nonchalant days had all led up to today Yes, that’s what I believe
Bathing in the orange of the setting sun, have we become a little more mature? As we chased ourselves into a daze, there were things we didn’t realize The orange setting sun illuminates us once again, as summer ends I hope we can continue to exchange “see you tomorrow”’s from now on
