Requested by: Gachi
I feel like this song is about someone struggling to find fulfillment, getting disheartened all the time in the process since all their dreams don’t turn out the way they want them to…
夜空見上げ この眼に映るものを
遠い記憶 朧げな月日を
この手に触れ 感じたもの全てを
一つ一つ この身に刻み付けてゆく
yozora miage kono me ni utsuru mono wo
tooi kioku oboroge na tsukihi wo
kono te ni fure kanjita mono subete wo
hitotsu hitotsu kono mi ni kizamitsukete yuku
I gazed up at the sky, at the things I could see
And at the hazy days in my distant memories.
I will engrave everything that I touched and experienced
Into my heart, one by one.
あの日見た世界は どこか色褪せていて
でもそんな日々すべてが 少し愛おしい
ano hi mita sekai wa dokoka iroasete ite
demo sonna hibi subete ga sukoshi itooshii
The world I saw that day loses its colours, bit by bit
But those days are all quite dear to me.
描いた理想郷は ひどく歪だけれど
いつだってそう 幻想だろう 叶うことも無く
掲げた理想論は 雨に濡れて溶けてく
そうやって今日 去った昨日 明日へ託してゆく
egaita risoukyou wa hidoku ibitsu da keredo
itsu datte sou gensou darou kanau koto mo naku
kakageta risouron wa ame ni nurete tokete ku
sou yatte kyou satta kinou asu e takushite yuku
The utopia I dreamed up was awfully distorted.
It’s always the same—I guess it’s an illusion that will never be realised.
The idealistic arguments I adopted were wet by the rain. They fade away
And thus, I will entrust today and days gone past to tomorrow.
共鳴する螺旋 触れ合う点と線と
瞬間の衝動と 満たされる心と
連綿と続く中で 微かに光る
ただそれだけ 集めて糧にしてその先へ
kyoumei suru rasen fureau ten to sen to
shunkan no shoudou to mitasareru kokoro to
renmen to tsudzuku naka de kasuka ni hikaru
tada sore dake atsumete kate ni shite sono saki e
A helix comes together, like dots and lines meeting.
It’s formed from momentary impulses and my satisfied heart.
As it continues, it faintly sparkles
But that’s all I need. It will be my nourishment as I move on.
手を伸ばしたって遠く 手に入れたって遠く
ただひたすらに足掻いて 一つ手にして
何回も繰り返して 幾度と無く諦めかけたその果てで
見つけた世界
te wo nobashita tte tooku te ni ireta tte tooku
tada hitasura ni agaite hitotsu te ni shite
nankai mo kurikaeshite ikudo to naku akirame kaketa sono hate de
mitsuketa sekai
I had to stretch my hands out into the distance to lay hands on it.
Still, I struggled and obtained a single one.
I did it over and over, and when I was about to give up…
I discovered this world.
描いた理想郷は ひどく歪だけれど
幻想だって いいんだろう 全て受け入れて
掲げた理想論は 過去に捨てて踏み出す
そうやって今日 去った昨日 明日を生きてゆく
egaita risoukyou wa hidoku ibitsu da keredo
gensou datte ii ndarou subete ukeirete
kakageta risouron wa kako ni sutete fumidasu
souyatte kyou satta kinou asu wo ikiteyuku
The utopia I dreamed up was awfully distorted.
It’s always the same—I guess it’s an illusion that will never be realised.
The idealistic arguments I adopted were wet by the rain. They fade away
And thus, I will entrust today and days gone past to tomorrow.
