虚無 (Kyomu) – Nothingness

from Empty MERMAiD single.

——

I’ve been hesitating all this while, but
My heart wavers with each touch, “love” is so ridiculous

Every time the number of experiences increase
I regret, thinking “it shouldn’t have been like this”, but it stains and becomes me

This fragile reality I knew through abandoning all
We touch, we overlap
But the only one I trust is myself

At the corner of the path I follow, I do the folk dance with someone tonight
In this blurred, lost city, I hum the song of loneliness
It doesn’t match, that too-pretty name my mother left to me that I’d forgotten
With no place to return to, I’m fine with being alone

Fixing my tied-up hair
With a sweet voice and wagging tail, I invite a “time waster”

In this night, when one more lie accumulates
I down the awareness and of sin and retorts like a cocktail

Plans of the future which we were all equally born with
I hate them, I hate them
Because I can only be myself

Drenched in thunderstorms, surrounded by exhaust, I’ve found my stance
The dripping raindrops mix gently with tears
Even if I disappear now, I’m sure nobody will notice
We’ll all be alone someday, so I’ll just go with it

This period of tragedy repeated countless times
Slowly, my heart cracked
The scattered fragments, yes, to protect them, even getting hurt doesn’t hurt anymore
Nobody is allowed to come into my territory again

At the corner of the path I follow, a passing folk dance
Turning my back on the too-bright sun, I walk on again today
Even if a prince comes for me someday with glass slippers
Unfortunately, it’s too late, I’m already fine with being alone

リスキー (Risukii) – Risky

from Empty MERMAiD single.

——

Whenever I pout over small things
You always tease me and say I’m just a pretend-adult
Gently aimed at my heart
Complete reversal delusion to you

Before others, I’m quick to act tough, but with you, I turn reliant
This speciality makes me happy, so I don’t want to show it to others

Impulsive feelings flow
There’s no cure for “I LOVE U”, risky risky
No matter how you appear, I’ll love you, I won’t lose this…

How many promises had we made? You’d broken them all
If every single one accumulates, I’ll stop wanting to hold your hand, right?

Your sleeping breath is my lullaby
We played in my dreams, and when I wake in the morning, you’re beside me

Passionate feelings flow
The keen rush of “I LOVE U”, risky risky
But it doesn’t mean that I’ll forgive the lies you speak

If we are Romeo and Juliet
Yes, I’ll chase after you to an everlasting sleep

Impulsive feelings flow
There’s no cure for “I LOVE U”, risky risky
No matter how you are, can I be someone who wants to love all of you?
Don’t want to let go

Damn! The GATE left open, stepping into the Dark, echoing sirens
I know exactly when you’re lying
Gosh! I’m lied to, but why doesn’t this LOVE disappear?
Aside from you, I don’t care about anyone else

Ah, sinking into the deep ocean to a paradise belonging just to us

A whirlpool of innocence, protruding boundary lines
Amen, brilliant eyes
Stopping my selfish voice to protect that impure smile
DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN FALLiNG
Empty MERMAiD love

Dive, soaking wet hair and Skin, licking each other’s Scars
In that midst, your mark dominates me
Call, a sweet voice leaking through the telephone receiver
Touching lips make my heart ache

Hey, look at me, just for now

Breaking flexibility, drowning bluff
Amen, brilliant eyes
Whispering uncertain love to dream just a little
DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN FALLiNG
Somehow so sad

Drifting horizon, can’t sleep because of you
Amen, brilliant eyes
Wishing for unattainable love before I dissolve into bubbles
DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN FALLiNG

A whirlpool of innocence, protruding boundary lines
Amen, brilliant eyes
Stopping my selfish voice to show that sour smile
DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN FALLiNG
Empty MERMAiD love

Lost in the deep ocean
Look at me, just for now
