Some more profound lyrics. I feel like I’ve run into quite a few profound songs lately… There are lots of sentence fragments in this one, which I did my best to piece together.


歌詞

隙間埋めて 辻褄合わせたら
見た目だけが美しい世界

暗闇に眠る力に躓かされ
現実が幻を紡ぎ出す
裏返しのまま組み立てた振り出しは
気休めと慰めで

答えて

過ちを責めて飲み込ます嘘
頑なに拒んでも押し付け
塗りつぶすように染め上げる意味
何を伝えるための痛み

また 見せ掛けの神に騙されながら
目を閉ざしたままの裁き人
命を無邪気に踏み躙る意味
理解を閉ざすことなどない言葉 祈り

時を止めて 空を潰しながら
巡る夢は穴だらけの世界

書き換えられてゆく心が描き出す
現実の幻は鬩ぎ合う
扉開けば また並び立つ矛盾が
気紛れに名乗り出る

教えて

正しさの中に隠された嘘
抉り出すこの指を圧し折る
咎のない罰に立ち向かう術
縛め解く 知恵の光

ただ 愚かさの雨に晒されながら
苛まれた愛が凍えても
立ち止まることを許さぬ歩み
真理へと辿り着くための言葉 誓い

shinri e to tadoritsuku tame no kotoba chikai

Translation

Only the surface of the world is beautiful
If you cover the cracks, and if its logic aligns.

I stumble over power sleeping in the darkness.
Reality spins a tale of illusions.
The starting point, assembled whilst everything was contrary,
Comforts and consoles me.

Tell me the answer…

Though I obstinately refuse this lie,
Which will condemn and engulf errors, it is imposed.
This meaning is used to paint over everything.
My pain is for the purpose of conveying something.

The judge’s eyes are closed
Whilst they are deceived by yet another false god.
Meaning, which innocently treads on life,
Is a prayer made from words that will not shut off understanding.

Time is stopped, and the sky is shattered.
This revolving dream is a word of nothing but holes.

My heart fights against the illusion of reality
That it seeks to overwrite.
If I open the door, lined-up contradictions
Will whimsically come forward once more.

Tell me…

Lies concealed in honesty
Crush these fingers, which gouged them out.
I hold the art to stand against punishment without offence.
The light of wisdom unties my bonds.

Still, even if my tormented love freezes over
Whilst I am bleached by a rain of foolishness,
I will walk. I won’t allow myself to stand still.
I swear it, upon words designed so they will lead me to the truth.
