歌詞

暁の空に 虚ろに見た夢
奪われてた永い時と 焼き付いてた魂のような輪郭
喉を縛り付ける 幼き日の遠い記憶 無邪気に嗤う少女

あの目覚めた朝に 胸に響いた神の誘惑
もう何も知らない 何も愛せない 運命に堕とされてく

白い光が痩躯に滲む
私のすべてはキレイなニセモノ

黄昏の海は 朧に霞んで
囚われてた希望と絶望が 腕でひとつに溶け

So 眠れぬ夜に 胸に映した宙吊りの未来
まだ掴み取りたい ダレカ愛したい 花言を散らしていく

白い光が痩躯に滲む
私のすべてはキレイなニセモノ
翠い光がこころをなぞる
私は孤独に甘えたニセモノ

無知という愚かな罪を抱いて
溺れてく「知りたい」と求める罰

叶わなかった 無数の祈り
数えてくのは何の為?
微かに見えた わたしの声は
叫び続ける 見失わぬよに true sign

akatsuki no sora ni utsuro ni mita yume
ubawareteta nagai toki to yakitsuiteta tamashii no you na rinkaku
nodo o shibori tsukeru osanaki hi no tooi kioku mujaki ni warau shoujo

ano mezameta asa ni mune ni hibiita kami no yuuwaku
mou nani mo shiranai nani mo aisenai sadame ni otosareteku

shiroi hikari ga souku ni nijimu
watashi no subete wa kirei na nisemono

tasogare no umi wa oboro ni kasunde
torawareteta kaze to nami ga ude de hitotsu ni toke

So nemurenu yoru ni mune ni utsushita chuudzuri no mirai
mada tsukami toritai dareka aishitai kagen o chirashite iku

shiroi hikari ga souku ni nijimu
watashi no subete wa kirei na nisemono
aoi hikari ga kokoro o nazoru
watashi wa kodoku ni amaeta nisemono

muchi to iu oroka na tsumi o idaite

kanawanakatta musuu no inori

kasuka ni mieta watashi no koe wa
sakebi tsudzukeru miushiwanu you ni true sign

Translation

In the dawning sky, I saw a hollow dream.
It looked like stolen eternity and the soul scorched into my memory.
Distant memories from my childhood constrict my throat. A girl sneers innocently.

When I woke up that morning, God’s temptation echoed in my heart.
I know nothing now. I cannot love anything. I am cast down in fate.

White light blurs through a lean figure.
My whole self is a beautiful imitation.

The dusk sea blurs into a haze.
My hands make imprisoned hope and despair melt into one. (1)

So, during a sleepless night, a suspended future was cast upon my heart.
I still want to grab it. I want to love someone. I scatter floriography.

White light blurs through a lean figure.
My whole self is a beautiful imitation.
Green light traces around my heart.
I am an imitation that depended on love.

I embrace the foolish sin of ignorance
and drown. I receive the punishment of ‘curiosity.’

Countless prayers remained unanswered.
Why do I count them?
My voice seemed indistinct.
I continue to shout so I won’t lose sight of it. True sign.


Translator’s note

(1) 囚われてた希望と絶望 (torawareteta kibou to zetsubou, Imprisoned hope and despair) is written, but 囚われてた風と波 (torawareta kaze to nami, The imprisoned wind and waves) is sung.
