Tooku no kage, ao no senaka
遠くの影、青の背中
Far fading shadows; blue navy background;

Yuudachi ga furu yokan
夕立が降る予感
the smell of rain forebodes what comes next.

Wasureta uso, sagasu kehai
忘れた嘘、探す気配
Long-forgotten lies; probing for traces

Nodo ni yubi wo karameta
喉に指を絡めた
of fingers wrapping around my windpipe.

Saiteru asa, kareyuku yoru
咲いてる朝、枯れゆく夜
Dawn etches onward; dusk withers away;

Itsuka no yume ga uzuku
いつかの夢が疼く
that murky dream keeps torturing me

Kawaita ame, kusunda hana
渇いた雨、くすんだ花
among besmearing rain and wilting flowers.

Todokanai no nara
届かないのなら
If moving on will be too much,

Asu wa kunakute ii
明日は来なくていい
may the future leave me behind.

Te ni shita no wa ichijou no aspirin
手にしたのは一錠のアスピリン
A pill lands in my hands, I’m taking another aspirin.

Yasashisugiru sora wo seotteita dareka ga kaketa
優しすぎる空を背負っていた誰かが欠けた
The one overwhelmed by the mercy pebbling down the heavens has shattered into pieces.

Oto mo tatezu hanabi ga mata
音も立てず花火がまた
Replaying forever in the gloom of my blinks,

Manaura de uchiagaru
眼裏で打ち上がる
those mute fireworks bloom again above me;

Kaiten suru ten wo aogi
回転する天を仰ぎ
I’m feather-light, the sky’s upside down,

Juuryoku wo tebanashita
重力を手放した
then gravity pins me to the ground.

Kikoeru no wa shitsuboushita
聞こえるのは失望した
Are the dissatisfied sighs weighting on me

Kamisama no tameiki ka
神様の溜め息か
maybe some sort of breath of God Himself?

Mihanasareta kono sekai wa
見放されたこの世界は
I have to dilute that world I need to forget

Genkaku ni naru
幻覚になる
in indistinct illusions.

Ayafuya na kankaku kowashitakute
あやふやな感覚壊したくて
I want to crush this hazy feeling. It’s very upsetting.

Nomikonda aspirin
飲み込んだアスピリン
I gulp down another aspirin,

Nijimu genjitsu kara tsukiotosare hagureta boku wa
滲む現実から突き落とされはぐれた僕は
tearing me away from faint realities, and I crash down again, now bared of myself as well.

Fireworks spark out in my mind.

The sky revolves again and again.

I regret yesterday, I reject today.

Just one

Aspirin can break this reality.

Whispering voice

like a north wind said to me,

“From now on you’ll be alone.God NEVER bless you”.

Makkura na shinjitsu wa doko ni aru no?
真っ黒な真実はどこに在るの?
Where have you taken shelter by now, disturbing reality?

Mukishitsu na aspirin
無機質なアスピリン
Inorganic matter, aspirin,

Chuutohanpa na yasashisa hanbun dewa mitasarenakute
中途半端な優しさ半分では充たされなくて
blurring what’s outside with some part of your petty mercy does not satisfy me any more.

Mou nanimo kikoenai,
もう何も聞こえない、
Now my senses are inhibited,

Sorede ii sa
それでいいさ
and I’m okay with it:

Kamikudaku aspirin
噛み砕くアスピリン
shatter each of my teeth, aspirin;

Chuutohanpa na yasashisa
中途半端な優しさ
wielding your petty mercy forever

Hanbun nara boku ga kowashita
半分なら僕が壊した
let me crush what is left: every sliver of myself.
