Content warning: Suicidal themes

樹海 (jukai) may also be a reference to Aokigahara, a forest in Japan renowned for being a spot where people go to commit suicide. This is encapsulated in the saying 青木ヶ原樹海は一歩入ると出られない (“Once you step foot into Aokigahara’s sea of trees, you cannot leave.”)

This goes without saying, but please speak to someone and seek help if you yourself experience suicidal thoughts.


歌詞

このまま
形ない暗闇で 光は
希望を溶かす
煙に巻かれた 部屋

その日は
無防備な雨 肌
触れ 冷め
答えを迫られた
殺すような 瞳に

骨に乗る肉を
削ぎ落としては
消えてゆく街
先回りする名前
背中を見つめる

明日(あす) 誰か微笑めば
この部屋さえ見失うから
畝る手が 根張らす眼が
からだを腐らせて
ゆくようだ

あの時
進路(みち)を間違え
わからない、
どちらにせよ 壊れていく
今はもう 毒の体

落とした涙を
吸上げては
肥えてゆく望月(ぼうげつ)
意識が痺れてきた ので
今日を諦めて

どの道
こうなることは
わかっていた
今夜は
ただ命を
口噤むところへと

Translation

At this rate,
in formless darkness, light
will dissolve my hope.
The room was smoky.

That day,
I felt defenceless rain on my skin.
Touch. Cooling.
I was compelled by the answer
in those murderous eyes—

Scraping off meat
riding upon bones,
the city fades away.
Forestalling names
watch my back.

Tomorrow, when someone smiles
I will lose sight of even this room
so meandering hands, and eyes forming roots,
seem to make my body
rot away.

Back then
I lost sight of the path.
I don’t know.
Either way, I will start to crumble.
Now, I’m a body of poison.

The swelling full moon
sucks up the tears
that I shed.
My consciousness has grown numb
so I will give up on today.

Anyway,
I knew that things
would end like this.
Tonight,
I will send my life
to a silent space.
