供花 || An Offering of Flowers

歌詞

巡る四季をただ受け入れて
咲き散る時待つはずだった
「綺麗だね」と差された指に
いつの間にか弄ばれて

それも行く末と結ぶならば
拒む者の眼を免れない

枯れ果てる夢を見せよう
掟など意味を持たない
心まで貪り尽くせ
消えることを怖れ

下卑た興はとめどもなくて
手足を削ぎ”生ける”と謳う

その醜さすら散り際なら
美しく視える気がするから

戯れ会う花の色さえ
血を浴びて黒く染まれば
一片の微笑みがまた
傘の影に覗く

朽ち果てて忘れ去るなら
奪うため施すなら

ただ一つ花を捧げよう
訣別の言葉に代えて
人の世に愛でられるため
生まれる花は無い

meguru shiki wo tada ukeirete
sakichiru toki matsu hazu datta
“kirei da ne” to sasareta yubi ni
itsu no ma ni ka moteasobarete

sore mo yukusue to musubu naraba
kobamu mono no me wo manugarenai

karehateru yume wo miseyou
okite nado imi wo motanai
kokoro made musabori zukuse

gebita kyou wa tomedomo nakute
teashi wo sogi “ikeru” to utau

sono minikusa sura chirigiwa nara
utsukushiku mieru ki ga suru kara

azare au hana no iro sae

ippen no hohoemi ga mata

tada hitotsu hana wo sasageyou
ketsubetsu no kotoba ni kaete
hito no yo ni mederareru tame
umareru hana wa nai

Translation

I was supposed to merely accept the cycle of the seasons,
Waiting for the time to come when I would bloom and fall…
“It’s so pretty…” They say, with their fingers pointed at me.
Before I know it, I am played around with by those same fingers…

Even so, if I am bound to fate,
Then I cannot escape from the eyes of those who reject me.

Let’s show you a dried-up dream.
Things like laws have no meaning.
You have lusted to exhaustion, up to your heart, and
You are afraid of disappearing…

Your pleasures, which have become vulgar, have no end.
You cut off my limbs, extolling it as ‘arrangement.’

If it is time for even that ugliness to fall,
I feel that I will appear beautiful, so…

If I am to rot away and be forgotten…
If I am sown so I can be snatched away…

Let’s offer up a single flower,
Instead of words of farewell.
There isn’t a flower born for the sake of being loved
In the world of humans…
