ブラインド・エゴイスト || Blind Egoist

日本語

芽吹いて零れた瑣末な火種は
年月を貪り、大きく燃え広がっていく

■を食み、■を舐め回し、■を咀嚼し、
■を貪り、■を呑み込み、■を摂り込んでいく
■を奪い摂り、■を掠め摂り、■を刈り摂り、■を剥ぎ摂り、
■を毟り摂り、■を搾り摂り、■を排泄した

燻ることを忘れた成れの果ては
籠の中、虚ろな夢を焚き続けている

Translation

The trifling sparks that budded and spilled forth
indulged for months and years before burning grandly and spreading out.

I eat ■, I lick ■, I chew ■.
I crave ■, I swallow ■, I take ■.
I steal ■, I plunder ■, I cut ■, I peel ■.
I pluck at ■, I squeeze ■, and I excreted ■.

At the ruin of what I once was, having forgotten how to smoulder,
I continue to kindle an empty dream in my cage.

歌詞

愛情が注がれていく 少しずつ肥えていく
満たされて、浸されて、募っていく
生まれた意味を授けた
貴女に焦がれ、焦がされる

宝の花飾りも、色褪せたフィルムも、
燃やされて、塗り潰され、灰となる
最期にこの眼で見た笑顔は
涙と狂気に塗れてた

なんて悲劇を抱えたまま
壊れ、崩れ、果ててゆくのでしょう
さあ、憐れみと慰みの此の祈り
捧げましょう

肺を焼き尽くしたこの痛みも、
オルゴールが刻む子守唄も、
過ちすら、私を象る全てなの
周りの誰もが貴女を責めても、
罪の果てを私は受け入れるよ
途切れ落ちた、回路

惨状と虚ろな光景 黒く歪な情景
目が覚めて、熱は冷め、鼓動は失く
吐き気すら感じることが出来ない
燃殻を眺めてた

神がこの世にいるのなら、
どうしてこんな罰を私に与えたの？
ただ、夢見てた、焦がれてた、
愛してた、だけなのに

そっと貴女だった髪と肌に
触れることすら叶わないのかな
覚めない温度 置き去りにされたこの心
傍で打ち捨てられた
二つの残骸には興味も示せないよ
貴女しか見えない

罠を張った蜘蛛は
少しずつ二羽の蝶の羽根を噛み潰す
気づかれないように時間を掛けて喰らった
毒を以て最後の仕上げに心を磨り潰す
汚れを残さず剥いで綺麗な私の完成
貴女と二人きりだね

それだけが望みだったのに
この手に残ったのは意思だけ
でも気づいたの
貴女の中で綺麗なまま私は生きていける
冷めない夢の中心で
熱を帯びた想いが届いたんだ
零れてゆく身体を見つめ
ささやかな「アイ」を捧ぐ

Translation

I’m filled with love and I swell, little by little.
I’m satisfied, immersed, and my feelings grow stronger.
I was granted a reason for being born.
I yearn for you and am burned by you.

My treasured floral ornament, and this faded film
are burned, painted over, and become ash.
The face I saw in the end
was covered in tears and madness.

While embracing such tragedy,
Perhaps I will break, crumble away, and reach my end.
Now, shall I offer up my pity and amusement
and my prayers?

The pain that burned my lungs,
the lullaby played by the music box,
and even my mistakes form everything imitating me.
Though everyone around you may persecute you
I will accept the results of your sin.
The circuit was interrupted and fell.

This disastrous and empty scene is a dark, twisted sight.
I wake, my fever subsides, and I have no heartbeat.
I can’t even feel like vomiting.
I looked at the embers.

If God is in this world,
why did they bestow this sin upon me?
I just dreamed and yearned.
I was only in love.

I wonder if I won’t even be able to softly touch
your hair and skin, which were once you.
I remain cold. My heart was left behind.
I was abandoned by your side.
I can’t show the slightest interest in the two ruins.
All I can see is you.

The spider that spun a trap
gradually chews up the wings of two butterflies.
It took its time to eat so it wouldn’t be noticed.
Like poison, it finished up by pulverising their hearts.
Tearing things off, leaving no impurities behind, was my neat completion.
You and I are alone together.

That was all I wished for
but only my intention was left in my hands.
Still, I realised
that I can continue to live inside you, clean like I am now.
In a dream I can’t awaken from,
I feverishly want my feelings to reach you.
I look at my body spilling over
and offer up my meagre ‘love.’ (1)
