I’ve… had this lying around half-translated for a while, so it’s a relief to finally finish it! There’s a bit of background reading for this one, as well. Wani posted an update on Twitter that basically says “I used Dissociative Personality Disorder (DID) as a theme to present an individualistic delusion of the Renko-Merry coupling. I wrote it mixing in some personal experiences, and with a world view set after the second track, ‘Future Prediction’ (未来予報).” He goes on to say something like “I have a feeling that almost everyone has had an experience of feeling like they can’t keep on living unless they’re destroyed in place of another person.”

Dissociative Personality Disorder was previously known as multiple personality disorder. You can see this in the song when either Renko or Merry talk about that ‘other me’ and ‘waking up.’ I’ll leave the rest up to your interpretation!


歌詞

アナタが残した 未練の錘が
心を引きずり 微熱を哂う

閉じ込めて檻の中 気付かれないように
目が醒めたら傷を 抉り返すから
もう一つの もう一人の 私自身を
閉じ込めて 眠らせて そっと仕舞って

孤独を纏った 未練の首輪が
繋いでくれたの 闇と偽り
アナタが触れたら 未練の錘が
心を引きずり 微熱を誘う

またねって手を振り合う
最後の笑顔を今でも
夢で見てるよ
あの子が代わりに 壊れてくれて
生きれる気がしていた

閉じ込めて檻の中 気付かれないように
目が醒めたら傷を 抉り返すから
さよならを もう一人の 私自身に
言い聞かせて 眠らせて 身代わりにして

またねって手を振る前
最初の言葉が聴こえる
あの日頷く
私の代わりに 壊れてくれて
本当にありがと

またねって手を振り合う
最後の笑顔を今でも
夢で見てるよ
あの子が代わりに 壊れてくれて
生きれる気がしていた

アナタが残した 未練の錘が
心を引きずり 微熱を哂う

Translation

The lure of attachment that you left behind
Sneers at my fever whilst dragging my heart along…

Upon waking, I continuously gouge out my old wounds.
So I can remain unaware of them inside this cage,
I lock up that other person. My other self.
I put her to sleep. Then, gently, I bring her to an end.

I was clad in solitude, and darkness and lies
Fastened this collar of attachment to my neck.
If you were to touch me, that lure of attachment
Would call forth my fever whilst dragging my heart along…

We said “farewell,” and waved goodbye.
Even now, in my dreams, I see you
As you smiled at me for the last time.
Because I was destroyed in place of that child
I feel like I’m able to live…

Upon waking, I continuously gouge out my old wounds.
So I can remain unaware of them inside this cage,
I say goodbye to my other self. I tell her what to do…
I put her to sleep. Then, I substitute myself for her.

Before we said “farewell,” and waved goodbye,
I could hear the first words you spoke to me.
I nod my head to that day.
Because you were destroyed in place of me,
I am truly grateful…

We said “farewell,” and waved goodbye.
Even now, in my dreams,
I see you as you smiled at me for the last time.
Because I was destroyed in place of that child
I feel like I’m able to live…

The lure of attachment that you left behind
Sneers at my fever whilst dragging my heart along…

    Thanks so much for this. I’ve been trying unsuccessfully to translate this for the longest time.
