光 || Light

日本語

答えてくれ　作られたココロ
巡り巡って　どうして消えないの
徒爾に生まれ　矛盾のままで終え
練り込んだ色　機械ごと塗らして

古い遺跡の下　ひとり　灰に漂って
一度　空見たんなら　二度と　戻れないさ

人からの憧れ
初めての守りと
頼りない感情だと　わかる
体奥にあるの
破壊衝動を必死に
逆らう　思考回路

答えてくれ　作られたココロ
巡り巡って　どうして死ねないの
世界を救い　自分も消えるなら
こんなふうに　痛くないのでしょう

古い記憶の中　司られた様
一度　汚れたんなら　二度と　戻れないさ

人からの優しさ
初めての自由も
脆いものなんて　わかる
体奥にあるの
殺戮衝動を必死に
逆らう　意識も

答えてくれ　作られたココロ
巡り巡って　どうして死ねないの
世界を救い　自分も消えるなら
こんなふうに　痛くないのでしょう

偽りでも　信じたいんだから
この痛みも　癒してくれないか
鋭い光　矢に変えたんだから
混迷破り　平和に戻らせた

やがて終わり　ねじも削られて
わずかな明かり　照り落ちる歴史

Translation

Answer me, manufactured heart of mine.
You go from place to place, yet why don’t you fade away?
Born in vain, ending while remaining a contradiction…
The entire machine is dyed a kneaded colour.

Beneath ancient ruins, I floated alone in the ashes.
Once one looks up at the sky once, they can never go back.

I knew that longing from a human
and my first protector
were unreliable feelings.
There inside my body,
my patterns of thinking
fervently oppose my destructive impulses.

Answer me, manufactured heart of mine.
You go from place to place, yet why can’t you die?
If I will die too upon saving the world
then won’t things hurt like this?

I am ruled over in ancient memories.
Once one has been sullied once, they can never return.

I know that kindness from humans
and my first freedom
are such fragile things.
So, too, is my consciousness
there inside my body
fervently opposing my slaughterous impulses.

Answer me, manufactured heart of mine.
You go from place to place, yet why can’t you die?
If I will die too upon saving the world
then won’t things hurt like this?

I want to believe, even if it’s false.
Won’t you heal my pain?
That sharp light changed into an arrow
so it tore apart the chaos and restored peace.

At last, things will come to an end and the screws will be whittled down.
A faint light falls upon history.
