Lyrics & Translation
Can't be tamed on my own
My eyes, my nose, my ears, they can't reach the inside of me
In the vast, dusty sea of gray
I had even forgotten the pain
Until you appeared right in front of me
I saw something invisible
The warmth that existed between you and me
I was able to entrust a little of my weakness
Your words untied my chains
As if the sky was brightening
I realized the light in my hand is my heart
In nightmares where I hurt someone
I keep breathing shallowly
Focusing that arrow’s direction deep inside my chest
In peaceful loneliness
Wishing for a quiet end
Something was getting colder, and I was lonely
But I didn’t mind
Loving someone and wanting to be loved
Means there’s just as much pain
And in my heart, where I chained myself
You filled it completely
Walls fall and bridges form, and I,
With the breath you gave me
With a gentle blade
I saw something formless
And wished to protect the light in my hands
