マゼンタ (Mazenta) – Magenta

from Sekai album.

——

This sky
Has not always been blue
Did you know that?
The beautiful colors seen in the photos
Were all that were
Destroyed up till yesterday
This is already my loss

Words of happiness in a midday dream
Appearing, then disappearing
Falling days, playing house
These were all real, but
Now,
The continuation of the story then
Will not be spoken again

I’ll pass through the other side of the sky
And try to reach out for the last train
“I want to be gentle”
I used to think, but
The sky drifts far away

Even if I stay lost forever
Morning will still come
From now
Promises and their illusions
Just return to where they came from
Goodbye
I had nothing to begin with
I had forgotten even that

The things I could touch yesterday
Summer leaves me behind again
Magenta, the color of wishes and regret
Still remains

I’ll pass through the other side of the sky
And try to reach out for the last train
If the sound of cicadas will wake me
The sky drifts far
The things I could touch yesterday
Summer leaves me behind again
Magenta, the color of wishes and regret
Still remains

Being coaxed into laughter
I flatter them
don’t call me.
you don’t call me.
I’ve learned to do what I’m told
So frail, so cute
This stiff smile

Unforgivable
Am I the only one turning ugly?
call me, call me, call me

stoppin’ stoppin’ stoppin’
Crying
stoppin’ stoppin’
Don’t stop
stoppin’ stoppin’ stoppin’
Crying
Being defeated
stoppin’ stoppin’ stoppin’
Crying
stoppin’ stoppin’
Don’t stop
stoppin’ stoppin’ stoppin’ Crying
Is that friendship?

Smiling and saying “that’s great”
A woman like you
don’t call me.
you don’t call me.
I’ve severed it all
Utterly, too many
Today is the end

The worst, no relation
But this is pride
call me, call me, call me

stoppin’ stoppin’
Don’t smile
stoppin’ stoppin’
I want to smile
stoppin’ stoppin’
Just strike me
This, this me
stoppin’ stoppin’
Don’t smile
stoppin’ stoppin’
I want to smile
stoppin’ stoppin’ stoppin’ Tonight
I’ll go to strike you

tonight tonight tonight…
Hate hate hate…

stoppin’ stoppin’
Don’t stop
stoppin’ stoppin’
Don’t stop
stoppin’ stoppin’
Don’t stay silent
Or I won’t forgive you
stoppin’ stoppin’
Don’t stop
stoppin’ stoppin’
Don’t stop
stoppin’ stoppin’
Wait for me tonight
I’ll go to strike you!

世界 (Sekai) – The world

from Sekai album.

——

Denying myself everything I used to rely on you for, I ransacked the night as I wished
Telling myself that I’m still ok, that I could always stay a child

“There’s meaning just by being alive” by gathering such sweet words
Even this filthy body can be forgiven. Unable to wait for morning, I sang.

Alone in the downpour / the end of sorrow

I knew I’ve woken up from the dream. / I was too in love with your future. /
Goodbye in this trembling voice. / Let me say this, stop these tears / Light is alive.

You’ll laugh if you knew I can’t change, struggling and crying over trivial things
Unable to discard loneliness, I can’t give you anything more.

Only one in this world / Tomorrow, shine

I need to go, with these thoughts that I’d birthed. Waving goodbye, be happy.
Time will make things beautiful, the cruelty will disappear / I’ll always love you.
