Returnless

歌詞

窓を叩く　音に目を覚ました
月の光落ち込んだ冷たい部屋
眠る傍らにひらひら　現れた知らないあなた
見つめ合う一瞬と心呼び覚まされてしまった瞬間

夜風だけを纏い飛び出した　見失わないように
誘うその姿追いかけて走り続けた　裸足のまま

暗い夜の森を　すり抜け丸い月背に回る
浮かぶ影をただただ見つめ逸らせなかった
迷い道駆けて行く度　素肌に赤い線を刻む
誰かの面影重なっていくあなたに唇震わせた

光目指す後先夢中の果て　気付いた足が止まる
どこにも行けないここからは出られないことを　思い出した　から

逃げないでおくれ愛しい魂

休める体にそっと指先を　伸ばしやっと捕まえた
傷だらけの囚われた姫は羽ばたつかせる　淡い光
でも合わせた掌の中　凛とした　その身の色だけを
残し消えてしまった私だけ私にしか
見えない月の　蝶

Translation

I woke up when I heard a tapping at the window.
Moonlight was streaming into my cold room.
You appeared by my side, flickering in and out of view. I didn’t know you.
The moment our eyes met was the moment my heart woke up.

I rushed after you so I wouldn’t lose you. I wore only the night breeze.
I kept running after you while you beckoned for me. I was barefoot.

I made my way through the dark woods with the moon at my back.
I stared straight at your floating form. I couldn’t look away.
Each twist and turn down the lost road left more red lines on my bare flesh.
I pictured someone else on you. It made my lips tremble.

I raced after the light in a daze, but I came to a halt when I remembered
that I can’t go anywhere, and I can’t leave this place.

Don’t escape, my beloved spirit.

I reached out to her resting body and caught her at last.
The faint light made the trapped, wounded princess flap her wings.
But only her colour, cold and dignified, was left in my joined palms.
She disappeared. I was the only one
who could see the moon’s butterfly.
