Translation
Alone in the crowd
I amuse myself
The forms of different souls press against each other, leaving their impressions
Casting off the shell of my body [1]
I could go somewhere far away
Hatred
or Love
There’s no difference between them
My heart is broken because it was all too much [2]
I am being swept away though I try to keep it together [3]
Am I being swept away?
There is a sky dyed
in ultramarine blue I walk alone under it
Without you
Because I have no destination I thought I could go anywhere
I don’t even need to have a body anymore
Don’t let go
In the depth of all that color
Hold on with all your strength
Don’t let go
On the bridge
You leave the ground [4]
A sky without you
I want to seal it off [5]
Everyone
is wandering asleep
From the other side, where the rain has ended
A sweet pain tugs me by the arm
Like a whisper
Straying out of a dream
that was neither good
nor bad
You appeared, a fragment of myself
I am drowning though I pretend not to notice
Am I drowning?
In ultramarine blue
There is nothing that makes me sad
Just that everything my hands touch
disappears Grasping the empty air
I can’t even feel pain anymore
Yes, I felt it
My heart being torn into pieces
Tangled up with gentleness Tearing apart
I’m not going anywhere
I am somewhere
I want only to feel your warmth
Dyed
in ultramarine blue everything becomes one
Please, devour this world faster
I would rather not see it anymore. [6]
When night falls
Even just your pulse is dear to me
Don’t let go
In the depth of all that color
Hold on with all your strength
Don’t let go
I can’t go anywhere
I can’t move anymore
The sky without you
Breaks into dawn
Japanese
人ゴミ
ひとり遊ぶ
タマシイ型押し当て跡をつける
身体の外側 剥がし
どこか遠くへ行けるでしょう
憎しみ
愛しさ
違いはない
この胸がつぶれて 溢れたものだから
流れていくのよ きれいなふりをして
流れていくのか 私は
群青に
染まる空がある たったひとり歩くよ
君なしで
行き場がないから 行ける気がした
身体さえ もう いらなくなる
離さないで
深い色の中
力任せ つかんで
離さないで
歩道橋の上
地上を離れ
君がいない空
閉ざしたい
誰もが
眠りさまよう
雨上がり その向こう側
囁くように甘く
痛みが腕を引いてくれる
良くも
悪くもない夢から
はぐれて現れた
お前は私のかけら
溺れているのよ見えないふりをして
溺れていくのか 私は
群青に
悲しむことはないよ
ただこの手に つかめるすべては
消えてしまうだけ 空気をつかんで
痛みさえ もう感じなくなる
そう気づいた
こころは千切れる
やわらかにもつれて 千切れる
どこへも行かないよ
どこかにいるよ
君の熱だけ感じたい
群青に
染まり ひとつになる
もっと早く この世を蝕んで
見えなくなればいい
夜になれば
鼓動さえ もう愛しくなる
離さないで
深い色の中
力任せ つかんで
離さないで
どこへも行けないよ
もう歩けないよ
君がいない空
明けていく
==========
[1] Karada no sotogawa hagashi: “remove/cast off the external part/outer layer of the body”
[2] Afureta mono dakara: “because [it was] overflowing/filled to excess.” The heart was smashed/broken apart by being too full of love, or hate, it doesn’t matter; just too much emotion—that’s why there is no difference between them.
[3] Nagareteiku: being washed or swept away. Similar to melting/falling apart/”losing it”.
Kirei na furi wo shite: [making a show of] “looking sharp/pretty” – in this case, while feeling overwhelmed/swept away.
[4] Chijou wo hanare: “let go of the [earth’s] surface.” Unclear whether that is to fly or to fall.
[5] Kimi ga inai sora tozashitai: “I want to shut down/close off the sky that doesn’t have you [in it].”
[6] Mienakunareba ii: “it’s better if I can’t see it anymore”. In this verse, the singer asks the deep blue (the advancing night) to swallow up the visible world faster, assimilating everything into its depths; the singer does not feel the need to see. In the darkness, the feeling (of a pulse, for instance) is heightened and more dear.
