[English]
Tonight I’ll change the station where I get off
In my heart, it once bloomed
I searched for the path of that small pride
I never noticed until now
My heart, it just can’t
With those familiar lyrics
Until tears start to fall
Now I’m desperately searching for excuses
Even if I try to look away
Surely more than me, before me, beyond me
Someone’s shaping who I am
How do I even know this?
Wandering days, an essay with a taste like no other
How do I even know this?
Days of setbacks, all monochrome to gain color
Tonight I’ll change the path I walk
In my heart, I’d scattered
I followed the scent of that small pride
The time is midsummer, rough weather and sea gods
Blue flames stand out, bones dissolve into blue
Monochrome turns to cyan, pale blue
I always lose sight due to not saying enough
Sorrow grows with the number of excuses
Even if I close my eyes
Always more than me, before me, beyond me
Someone’s shaping who I am
The movie reflected in my eyelids
How do I even know this?
Everything flashes like a montage, lingering in my chest
How do I even know this?
Everything was filled with color in monochrome
...
From that harbor, I pulled in the light
And made it this far
I listened closely to my heartbeat
“We’re living on a jade-colored path.”
How do I even know this?
Everything flashes like a montage, lingering in my chest
How do I even know this?
Everything feels like the moment before tomorrow
How do I even know this?
Every day is an essay with a taste like no other
How do I even know this?
Every scene is monochrome, meant to be remembered
...
