バッドエンドの続きを (Baddo endo no tsuzuki wo) – After the bad ending

from Sekai album.

——

If I had done something
The ending would be changed
But the story I’ve illustrated
Is always cruel

I remain at the ticket gate
Of the station you’d never alight at again
The date on the ticket in my hand
Still spells out that day

I was the one who waved away
The hand you extended to me

What I had been searching for
Doesn’t matter anymore
A bad ending suits me well.

If I could have the chance to proceed down
The path not chosen
The you in my memories would smile and say
“How convenient is that?”

If I could see you once again
What would I say to you?

I’ve always known the truth
That the last page is empty
Though I pretended not to.

Even now, I’ve always
Walked on, not knowing the ending
While envying the outcome of that “maybe”

Even so, someday
Regret will become the answer
Till then, I’ll survive, believing in what’s coming
After the bad ending

君はまだ知らない (Kimi wa mada shiranai) – You still don’t know

from Sekai album.

——

Having cut her hair
The girl glared at the sky
As she blew out cigarette smoke
At a corner of the rooftop

The rain has stopped
Drenched, she got cold
The cat she spotted
Crouching in the corner cried softly

“Hey, I’m surely the only one
Who loves others so much that it hurts”

Unable to cry, just destroying
Don’t force yourself to smile
Don’t be afraid of being left alone
All these cruel days
That seem to last forever
Ah, when will they end?

The cherry blossoms wilt at the back of the school yard
She blocked her eyes
It was laughable
How much she wants to do bad things.

Ah, everything inside me
If I can give it all to you

The strength of being alone
The gentleness after knowing pain
Even if they’re all drowned out by filthy voices
Just speak of your love
Embrace your treasure
And never let go again.

There are no miracles
There is nothing but life
I’ll always wait here
Until we meet.
Holding your trembling fingers
Watching the rain stop
Ah, until you smile.

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.
