Before love refuses to understand, calling itself “too heavy,”
And turns into hatred…
Isn’t everything like that?
Always putting a lid on awkward situations, a fake reality.
In this distorted era of dilemmas,
Even the two who were supposed to have promised pass each other by without noticing.
Even the things we tore down and came to understand,
We left them behind.
Is this what it has all come to?
Even when I stood up without accepting it,
I couldn’t escape the image of falling.
Ah, I will search for you as many times as it takes—
Your eyes, the warmth of those hands.
Isn’t everything like that?
Always putting a lid on awkward situations, a fake reality.
In this distorted era of dilemmas,
Even the two who were supposed to have promised pass each other by without noticing.
Even if I were gone, this unchanging city
Wouldn’t seek my salvation, would it?
Pretending to be a decent person,
Everyone inside a crystal that seems about to crumble.
Ah, repeating lies over and over again,
“Love only ever hurts me…” you whispered,
Crying because you were afraid to believe, weren’t you?
Know your weakness and grow strong; by believing without fear,
You will surely know true love before it turns into hatred.
What we wanted
Wasn’t a heartless, artificial world like this.
Unbearable to watch, days without a single trace of reason,
With vulgarity dwelling in eyes weary of reflecting it.
Lies that heal the heart—maybe there’s a place for them,
But a lie is something that steals the heart, isn’t it?
“Even if I try to get close to love, I’ll only get bitten…” I whispered,
And lived on, giving up on believing.
Even if I stand after devouring despair, with thoughts so intense they astound,
I just need to cling to this fragile life and keep living.
What we wanted
Wasn’t something heartless and artificial like this.
If I search for the meaning of the love lost in this city,
Maybe I can move forward just a little better.
