[sonimiki]

Saisei/再生

All alone, a memory of the life Where I shared a smile with you arrives What it did, whatever that it was, Brought my hidden feelings to the front

Is this how to live and be loved? When was it I messed all it up? Could somewhere out there tell me why The flame in my heart really died?

Had I seen a sign it wasn’t real In that dream, I would do what I dreamed But I’m realizing that only now As it drips down the drain, out of reach And I feel so alone when it leaves

Haven’t got a mind that truly thinks Haven’t got a taste for anything I’m so used to living in this way Will I see tomorrow be the same?

Is this how to live and be loved? When was it I messed all it up? If I could revisit the day It happened, would I even change?

Had I seen a sign it wasn’t real When your words hit my heart in a stream I would reawaken the past they hold If only time would turn back to be If only time would turn back to be

Had I seen a sign it wasn’t real I would know why I cry for that dream But I’m realizing that only now And I feel so alone when it leaves

Had I seen a sign it wasn’t real When I woke up to tears in a stream I would reawaken the past they hold If only time would turn back for me… If only time would turn back for me…

[sonimiki]

Silver Warp/シルバーワープ

(CW: Themes of child abuse)

I’ll be quiet. I swear, so please

Could you both not get so angry?

Inside of the closet, soon I ended up crying myself to sleep

You think that I don’t see the way you’re lying that you love me, though

I’m old enough to catch on, you know

Before these feelings dry and finally set me free…

I wish you would say that you care about me

You’d say you care, anyone around me

Save me from this cold and dark space I’m stuck in

Before the sun gets here, by then I’ll feel like the night is home

I’m not talking back, I don’t want to fight

It won’t stop me, whatever you say tonight

‘Cause I’m not a pet, I’m a dog that bites

That’ll go back into the wild and wake to

…Just a dream. Another one, and now it’s morning

My eyes red and puffy, cheeks still swollen with bruises that never leave

I’m so denied love

And I know it isn’t like I’m alone in life

There’s many more in the spotlight all the time

But if I try to go beyond it, would the darkness do more to keep me safe?

I might not make it, but does it matter when I’ll get beaten either way?

Let’s get out of here and go where they guide us

The stars above, where no one can find us

I told you I’d try, I’m just so scared of what

Will happen if before I can, I give up on everything

I’m not happy here. I don’t feel alive

And I hate that I need them to survive

Though it’s full of flaws, though I barely know

What I’m doing, it’s all that I have— this scenario

And suddenly it burns

A saving light as every lie in front of me

Began to blur

I’ll break the chains, I’ll have to on my own

You did it before, so now let me be you

And run away, with hope I get to see you

It might be impossible, maybe that’s fine

And maybe I’m fine with living all alone if I get some peace

No don’t cry for me, not the way I did

I accept that I’m just an unwanted kid

So I won’t look back. I won’t even try

To remember

Back then, even if I die

[sonimiki]

Rotten Girl Grotesque Romance/ロッテンガールグロテスクロマンス 

(CW: The yandere trope and all the murder and blood and stalking to be expected of it. Also cat death. This song is almost 15 years old and I still feel bad for those cats man)

All I think is we were made for each other

You and me were meant to be, well… just because!

Quietly into the wall, and breath, under,

All alone, “Hear this” I plead, “Love me” I beg

All I think of are the things I don’t k(no)w

Part of me fills the w(hole) I haven’t left

Taping your face to the door of my closet

Touching it, rubbing it, as I confess

Then she knocks, then she knocks and wanders on in

What a pretty girl. Wonder what’s her name?

If you really like her and if you wanted

I could pack her up and send her to your place

Make her bleed, let me burn

Every picture of her

Oh my, looks like that girl, that she’s gone (LOL)

But there’s me, ever fine being used at any time

That’s just how much my love has ended up leading me tonight

I’ll frame your wings

Dear butterfly

I’ll make the world remember you’re mine

Tell me why you look like you’re dead inside now

Darling, are you hurt? Did I go too far?

Well… If it’ll help you, I’ll take her corpse out

Right in front of you, and hold it in my arms

So I know the things you like, I’ve leaned

On your door to hear you on the phone

You “like cats, but can’t afford one”? That’s alright!

At your door, I’ll leave the head of one to say hi

Make her bleed, let me burn

Every picture of her

Oh my, it’s like that girl, she never was (LOL)

When I see how she fakes that she loves you, it makes

me sick and swear to rip out all her organs today

My love for you will never die

My love is for the rest of your life

[sonimiki]

Samsa/ザムザ

I’ve got a name I’ve started hating, but questionably

I spell it out for you and watch the pen bleed

Such a terrifying creature has been turned into me

And taken all that I have— all of my honor, at least

Right now, what kind of creature am I seeming of?

You say “a demon”, huh? I knew you would, but…

Please don’t throw those apples at me, I’ll let

You and me Lock Up Lock Up

Samsa

You tell me “turn around, let me get a look at your face”

Because an ugly one hasn’t much to make

…And not a smile or a saying that can save me, right?

Because the second I run, you’ll see a monster try

It’s not as though I didn’t think to try at all, you know— see, I’ve lied awake every night so

I could end the nightmares laid in front of me, I’ve just never found a way

Ticking ticking ticking

(ticking ticking ticking)

Ticking ticking ticking

(ticking ticking)

Ticking ticking ticking

(ticking ticking ticking)

Ticking Ticking Ticking

Time to change

(ticking ticking ticking ticking ticking)

Everybody’s gone and screaming “save us from the…”

(ticking ticking ticking)

…my Wrangler off, pain along, let them rot-ta-tara-tat

But deep inside, it won’t go. This awful…

(ticking ticking ticking) Taste

Dragging my tail like your decoration, thus, is

Sa-Sa-Sa-Sa-Samsa

They’ve made you hate the world, although… don’t give up just yet, Samsa

Oh yeah

(ticking ticking ticking ticking)

Sa-Sa-Sa-Sa-Samsa

(ticking ticking ticking ticking)

“I’m so ashamed I wasn’t born the way you truly wanted me to be”, I truly try to convey

As such a shell of a human that’s hoping, today,

That you see just how every part of me has grayed

…But you just smile and pretend like there isn’t a problem

Makes sense… that we couldn’t fight on mine, I guess— since you’ve certainly got some

Ticking ticking ticking

(ticking ticking ticking)

Ticking ticking ticking

(ticking ticking)

Ticking ticking ticking

(ticking ticking ticking)

Ticking Ticking Ticking

Time to change…

…Or not this time

Those dreams were mine! Don’t eat them up! Stop all your…

(ticking ticking ticking)

…The tempo of venting songs, slowly wrought-ta-tara-tat

Don’t think you’d mind if I succumbed to such a…

(ticking ticking ticking) Taste

Surely you’d say to “suck it up” and “write a tune” to

Sa-Sa-Sa-Sa-Samsa

Hey… One and two and three, to freedom,

Sa-Sa-Sa-Sa-Samsa

Kick your way out of their kingdom,

Sa-Sa-Sa-Sa-Samsa

As the author gets to the ending where they die— your dreams—

If you leave just before it, I bet

That your future won’t be words for us to read

Everybody’s gone and screaming “save us from the…”

(ticking ticking ticking)

…my Wrangler off, pain along, let them rot-ta-tara-tat

But deep inside, it won’t go. This awful…

(ticking ticking ticking) Taste

Biting into your apple, thus, is

Sa-Sa-Samsa

I steel my mind to stay in dark forever, for the person who…

…Poisons me hasn’t fringe, is no iris, but you

And now a light comes pointing towards one o’ clock to pull me through

Dragging my tail out of obligation, thus, is

Sa-Sa-Sa-Sa-Samsa

I know that they’ve made you hate the world, although… don’t give up just yet, Samsa

Okay?

(ticking ticking ticking ticking)

Sa-Sa-Sa-Sa-Samsa

(ticking ticking ticking ticking)

(ticking ticking ticking ticking ticking ticking)

Sa-Sa-Sa-Sa-Samsa

(ticking ticking ticking ticking ticking ticking)

Ticking.

[sonimiki]

world’s end song/せかいのはじまりのさいごのうた

Never mind these feelings, for soon enough they’ll finally fade

To a scar so sedating it saves

As the earth reclaims you, I call your name and never cease

Reaching out for you, always out of reach

(La la la…)

Once upon a time, a part of me had still believed

That I still had more, a moment or two of peace

If you’ll make me hurt no matter what, right in return I’ll pray

That you die, dear world, or were never made

Sleep in, oh sleep in my arms as I watch

Laugh at, oh laugh at my side like there’s nothing wrong

End it, oh end it my world as it was

Laugh at, oh laugh at my misery God

(La la la…)

In the budding voice I reap and repaint,

Is a broken blossom that time choked and never changed

So I’ll take it far away, to a place it can dream

Where there’s just one season for a seed

Sleep in, oh sleep in my arms as I watch

End it, oh end it my world as it was

Closing my tired eyes, all I want

Now is my heart and mind, covered in sod

End it, oh end it my world as it was

[sonimiki]

そう簡単な祈りだった　端から

sou kantan na inori datta hana kara

That’s right– It had begun as nothing more than a simple prayer.

段々と消える寒暖

dandan to kieru kandan

Gradually becoming disillusioned with you,

今から緞帳が上がるから

ima kara donchou ga agaru kara

The curtain’s about to rise– it’s showtime,

静かな会場を後にさよなら

shizuka na kaijou o ato ni sayonara

Thus we’ll soon say goodbye to the quietness of this theatre

言いかけていた事が一つ消えてまた増えて

iikakete ita koto ga hitotsu kiete mata fuete

I’d cut myself off from saying one thing, but soon the urge to say another would rise

背中に後ろめたさが残る

senaka ni ushirometasa ga nokoru

Left with a guilty conscience ever weighing-down upon my back

従いたい心根を吐き出さぬように込めて

shitagaitai kokorone o hakidasanu you ni komete

I wouldn’t dare obey my heart’s desires– instead bottling them all up,

胸の中が澱のように濁る

mune no naka ga ori no you ni nigoru

And now it feels like my heart has been polluted with their rotten remains

受け止めたいことが自分さえ抱えられず

uketometai koto ga jibun sae kakaerarezu

There are things in theory I’d like to come to terms with, but I just can’t

持て余したそれを守っている

moteamashita sore o mamotte iru

I’ve been keeping them all to myself, though I might explode from it

霞んだ声はからからに喉を焼いて埋め尽くす

kasunda koe wa karakara ni nodo o yaite umetsukusu

With a mangled voice, a throat that feels both completely dry and choked up at the same time,

何を言うべきか分からなくて

nani o iu beki ka wakaranakute

I never know the right thing to say

感じてたものが遠く放たれていた

kanjite ta mono ga tooku hanatarete ita

So I’d let my feelings out somewhere far, far away

同じ様で違うなんだか違う

onajiyou de chigau nandaka chigau

Same as always– something about it wrong, just feeling a bit wrong1

何時まで行こうか　何処まで行けるのか

itsu made ikou ka  doko made ikeru no ka

How much longer until we go? How far are we even able to go?

定かじゃないなら何を想うの

sadaka janai nara nani o omou no

If you “don’t know yet”, well then what’s keeping you from knowing?

僕らが離れるなら　僕らが迷うなら

bokura ga hanareru nara  bokura ga mayou nara

Should we be fated to part, should we be fated to lose one another,

その度に何回も繋がれる様に

sono tabi ni nankai mo tsunagareru you ni

I pray we may be reunited each and every time such a thing happens2

ここに居てくれるなら　離さずいられたら

koko ni ite kureru nara  hanasazu iraretara

If you’d just do me the honor of staying, staying and never to part,

まだ誰も知らない感覚で救われていく

mada dare mo shiranai  kankaku de sukuwarete iku

Then I’ll get to remain the only one who knows what this salvation feels like

平穏とは消耗を以て代わりに成す

heion to wa shoumou o motte kawari ni nasu

“Peace” is replaced with attrition3

実際はどうも変わりはなく

jissai wa doumo kawari wa naku

But in truth, there’s hardly a difference between them

京楽とは嘘で成る

kyouraku to wa uso de naru

“Pleasure” is founded upon sin4

「綻ぶ前にここを出ていこうか」と

“hokorobu mae ni koko o dete ikou ka” to

“Why don’t we get out of here before it all goes to hell?”

都合の良い願いを同じ様に同じ様に呟く

tsugou no ii negai o onaji you ni onaji you ni tsubuyaku

…Again and again, I’m whispering that too-good-to-be-true wish to myself

何処から聞こうか　何を見失うか

doko kara kikou ka  nani o miushinau ka

Where to even start, what it is that I’ll lose--

定かじゃないから此処を動けない

sadaka janai kara koko o ugokenai

The uncertainty of it all has rendered me frozen in place

僕らが疲れるなら　これ以上無いなら

bokura ga tsukareru nara  kore ijou nai nara

Should we ever tire, should we ever feel as though we can’t take anymore

その度に何回も逃げ出せる様に

sono tabi ni nankai mo nigedaseru you ni

I pray we may be able to run away from it all each and every time

心が守れる様に　奪われない様に

kokoro ga mamoreru you ni  ubawarenai you ni

So we may protect our hearts, so they may never be stolen away,

互いに託して　身体を預けてよ

tagai ni takushite karada o azukete yo

Let’s entrust them to one another-- put your trust in me

君と泣く　君と笑う　君と怒る

kimi to naku  kimi to warau  kimi to okoru

To cry with you... To laugh with you... To get angry at something with you...

君と歌う　君と踊る　君と話す

kimi to utau  kimi to odoru  kimi to hanasu

To sing with you... To dance with you... To talk with you...

何時まで続くだろうと同じ様に同じ様に呟く

itsu made tsuzuku darou to onaji you ni onaji you ni tsubuyaku

“I wonder how much longer this’ll last” Again and again, I whisper

いま忘れないよう刻まれた空気を

ima wasurenai you kizumareta kuuki o

I wonder how much I’ll think back on

これから何度思い出すのだろう

kore kara nando omoidasu no darou

This moment that feels so etched into my brain, in a “you’ll never be able to forget” way

僕らだけが

bokura dake ga

Should we-- as in nobody else--

僕らが離れるなら　僕らが迷うなら

bokura ga hanareru nara  bokura ga mayou nara

Should we be fated to part, should we be fated to lose one another,

その度に何回も繋がれる様に

sono tabi ni nankai mo tsunagareru you ni

I pray we may be reunited each and every time such a thing happens

ここに居てくれるなら　離さずいられたら

koko ni ite kureru nara  hanasazu iraretara

If you’d just do me the honor of staying, staying and never to part,

まだ誰も知らない感覚で僕の生きているすべてを確かめて

mada dare mo shiranai kankaku de boku no ikite iru subete o tashikamete

Then please, as I live on with this feeling nobody else has yet to feel, look at that existence itself5

正しくして

tadashiku shite

And tell me if it’s right

This is a line I can’t really think of a way to transcribe its wordplay into English, but essentially 違う (chigau) can mean both different and wrong. It’s being used as an antonym to 同じ (onaji), but also incorporating that double meaning in here I believe.

I know there is a popular translation going around which I think accidentally misinterprets the 様に (you ni) here to be used with the meaning of “in order to”, however I’m pretty sure the kind of 様に (you ni) here is the sort used to make wishes. Example: 神様の恵みがあります様に。= May the blessing of God be upon you

Literally “peace, as it is to be defined, exhaustion is made into its replacement”. But 消耗 (shoumou) might also refer to 消耗戦 (shoumousen), i.e. attritional warfare. This is a military strategy where a country attempts to beat the enemy by basically wearing them down until they’re flat out of resources and any real way to fight back. My personal take on this lyric is it might be referring to how in the singer’s mind, feeling “peace” has been replaced with feeling “exhaustion”. Yet “nothing has really changed”, since the singer cannot spit out thier feelings and thus bottles this “exhaustion” up despite its existence, as if peace were still present. Also just a side note, but I enjoy the wordplay here with 代わりに成す (kawari ni nasu) and 変わりはなく (kawari wa naku). 

A bit more liberal here. But I’ve only ever seen 京楽 (kyouraku) used in settings meant to evoke religious/fantastical imagery... 京楽の悪魔 (kyouraku no akuma) or a demon of pleasure, etc. 嘘 (uso) means lie but it can also refer to the more ambiguous idea of just something not beign what you thought it was... So I thought “sin” would be the best choice here, given the song’s themes. For similar reasons, I also have translated 救われる (sukuwareru) or to be saved as “salvation”.

Credit to StiglerCS_TV on Twitter for helping me to understand this line! Felt like I was all “awwww yeah I totally get this” until the very end which suddenly stumped me haha

[sonimiki]

Long time no actual direct talk from me on here!

I have officially passed the JLPT N2. I have held off for a long time, but I now feel confident (and certified at boot) to engage in base translations (i.e. non-translyrics, essentially direct subtitles for Vocaloid songs) and share the ones I’ve made with you all.

When I do, you are free to use them as you like and I’d be happy to say, help contribute to the Vocaloid Lyrics wiki if I happen to translate a song in need of a translation over there.

[doodling-junebug]

wake up art of ur favorite utaitae just dropped

oktavia my beloved!!! @sonimiki !!! i was bored and decided to doodle ur persona i hope you enjoy it!! jammed out to your covers while making this :)

[sonimiki]

CRYING WHAT!!! This is such a nice thing to log back in and see! Thank you so much I love making heart shapes ;v; Her smile is so nice!! Thank you I love it and thank you for listening to me!!!

[sonimiki]

Hi Oktavia, I want to start off by saying I hope you're doing well. I was wondering if you had any plans for more original songs like your demo of Rest In Peace? I don't mean to pressure you or make you feel like you have to work on that stuff, I just genuinely adore that demo you did and was curious. Thank you for all your amazing music!

I’d like to! I’ve been working on another song called “Evil Comes This Way”, maybe one day I’ll get the motivation to finish it… I’m thinking after I finish college, I might have more resources and time available to work on more in depth music stuff.

[sonimiki]

(i don’t know if you check the asks on here but it’s worth a shot)

hi there!! i really like your vocaloid covers and while i was reading the lyrics to shoujo rei i noticed that your title/header is based off “Hey, That’s a Good Thing” which happens to be my favorite vocaloid song, super cool choice!!

Out of curiosity are you thinking of ever doing an english cover for that or no? Just thought I’d ask since you did do others from the same album a while back!

Hi! I do check asks on here… Very infrequently RIP haha

It’s such a good song right?! I might do a cover of it one day… I’d have to think about how I’d adapt it if so :) Thanks for the kind message!

[sonimiki]

Lower (One’s Eyes)/ロウワー

So... All along, it was a want, a

Simple little prayer, admired everywhere, and

Even as that dies, the curtain’s gonna rise, thus

Bow and say goodbye, but

Don’t forget to lower your eyes

There’s things I wanna say, and I try,

But many things I think, they stay in my mind

And so I hide my guilt behind me and lie before you

I wanna hear my heart, obey to its beat,

But couldn’t cough them up, the words that I eat

And now the core’s gone bad, too cloudy to clean before use

To ‘come to terms’, that’s asking a lot

I can’t embrace it, far too weak, and I watch

That very thing possess my body beyond a tribute

I’ve got a voice of vapor, it’s harder to breathe

My throat is drying out, yet starting to freeze

And now I realize I really don’t know what to say

Every feeling that I’ve felt, I’ve

Thrown away by throwing to myself

Over and over, farther off and further off

When will we even go? Just

Where is it we’ll make it if we rush?

Never ever knowing can’t be healthy, so I want your thoughts

If we only need a second to break,

A minute ‘till we wander away,

I’ll pray to every God I know to keep you here to hold me

If you only had a century to stay,

Eternity to stay here the same,

That I’m saved by such a feeling that I’m the only one

Can stay the truth

Peace is gone in a

Flash, attrition comes

Can’t tell they’ve been exchanged 

Some say they’re different, but really they’re not

Blitheness lies on a smokey bed of sin

Before a fire’s burning, why don’t we get together and go?

...ing crazy, “that can’t be”, I’m saying so

Over and over, over and over, super soft

Where should I even start from?

What is it I’ll lose, no matter what?

Never ever knowing has me tethered to the same old spot

If we only need an hour to break,

A day to dream of running away,

I’ll pray to every God I know that leaving won’t be lonely

So my heart is never broken to mean

That somebody can take yours from me,

Let’s entrust them to each other

Come on, ‘cause you can trust me... you know

La-lu-la-du-da...

Cry with me again

Smile with me again

Scream with me again

Sing with me again

Dance with me again

Talk to me again...

“When, oh when will it all end?” I’m saying so

Over and over, over and over, super soft

“I’ll never leave your mind” this atmosphere, it seems to promise, though

Gotta kinda wonder how much longer it’ll haunt my soul

If we only need us...

If we only need a second to break,

A minute ‘till we wander away,

I’ll pray to every God I know to keep you here to hold me

If you only had a century to stay,

Eternity to stay here the same,

That I’m saved by such a feeling that I’m the only one

Could you see the things I live for and show me if

I’m only doing great?

[sonimiki]

congrats on being un-nuked!!

Thanks!!! Hopefully I'll get around to making my official website one day so I won't have to rely on Tumblr LOL

[sonimiki]

hello miss oktavia your cover of shoujo rei means everything to me

Monuke no Karada/もぬけのからだ

You’re fucking perfect, you’re crossing to the other side and sure enough

There’s just no way you guys’ll wait for me to catch up

I’m fucking worthless, don’t even see a reason I should try, and

I doubt it’ll be long ‘till I’ve lost all the confidence I have

Wanna laugh at someone else?

Wanna twist and turn yourself?

If the throne ain’t yours to claim,

Then tie yourself to it and sit there in chains

Thou shall never get across

If you try to swim, they’ll watch you just get washed away

The sky awaits the worthy, though

I’ve got no wings to fly, these legs are all I have in life

The seasons died as a lot of time passed

And there I was, and wrote the reasons I should wait another day

You may know to doubt your dreams, I knew that

You may need to drown your future, the dream it was

Wanna laugh at someone else?

Better keep it to yourself

And pretend to know the rest,

As if you’ve done the things you don’t

Shall thou ever get across?

Don’t you think you should, before your heart is shot astray?

If I don’t make it now, I know

Unlike the rest of you, I’ll sleep my days in solitude

Said I’m “normal”, said I’m “fine”

So I’m not special in their eyes?

Wanna laugh at someone else

The way they laugh at me when I be myself

I can’t breathe, I’m gonna choke

Yet another day, I spend as shit and so afraid

Now so thou shall get across,

I guess I’ll join the ranks of you sick little freaks to find a way

...I don’t care what it takes.

Placebo/プラシーボ

In a world that wants it, a hope can survive

If you say “no such thing”, you’re saying a lie

But it’s different for you, that isn’t what it’s like

Yeah, your filthy eyes

Are falling, calling

Out to someone, being saved before you

Can’t believe, but miracles are coming true

With a business model made of hope and praise

It’s pulling us two forward to fate

Say it’s a silly dream, I’ll say it’s not

‘Escape’ it isn’t, but an ‘ism’ you’ve got

It’s okay, you’ll probably forget you know

Simply put, the symptom is you tremble when you talk, though

Hey, it’s hardly funny anymore

This living’s so heavy now and such a bore

But there’s one way to make the whole day be gone...

By them, you can buy them but with love? No luck, though

Let’s say one day they sell it, would you say you’re good to go?

The jewels of love are white and what a lovely rainbow

It’s addiction, the right dose

You’ll take it everyday so you can sleep tomorrow

The price is pretty good, I think you’ll find it nice and low

Catchy with the catchphrase “I’m happy and feel it”

Don’t I? Don’t I? Don’t I? Don’t I?

So don’t be stingy and give me more

Some packaged prayers, something to live for

Fill my pill high, pill high please!

You need more, right? You’ll overdose, alright!

So don’t be stingy and give me more

Some packaged prayers, something to live for

Fill my pill high, pill high please!

I’ll shove it in my face, that happiness in

Everybody awaits when a world arrives

Fresh and full of a future with hearts full of life

But it’s different for you, that isn’t what it’s like

Yeah, your shaking hand

Is falling, calling

Can’t be stopped now, it’s out of your hands

Couldn’t stand with the logic not a soul understands

While a business model made of hope and praise

Was weeping in vain

Ah

Say it’s a silly dream, I’ll say it’s not

‘Escape’ it isn’t, but an ‘ism’ you’ve got

It’s okay, you’ll probably forget you know

Leave it alone already

Hey, it’s hardly funny anymore

This living’s so heavy now and such a bore

Only one way to make the whole day be gone...

By them, you can bite them but with love? No luck, though

Let’s say one day they sell it, would you say you’re good to go?

The jewels of love are white and what a lovely rainbow

It’s addiction, the right dose

You’ll take it everyday to be at peace tomorrow

The price is pretty good, I think you’ll find it nice and low

Catchy with the catchphrase “I’m happy and feel it”

Don’t I? Don’t I? Don’t I? Don’t I?

So don’t be stingy and give me more

Some packaged prayers, something to live for

Fill my pill high, pill high please!

You need more, right? You’ll overdose, alright!

So don’t be stingy and give me more

Some packaged prayers, something to live for

Fill my pill high, pill high please!

I’ll shove it in my face, that happiness in

Shoujo Rei/少女レイ

When, oh when, did I really go insane?

I feel like a mouse, getting cornered to a craze

So much despair had surrounded me that

Trying to escape, I jumped onto the tracks

So, we’ll be friends forever now

I took your hand and won’t let it go

So, we’re alone together now

There’s nowhere else to turn, you know

Hidden to others, the two of us

In such a way, were in love

Yet again I’m

Flashing back, to cicada cries,

And to you, who’ll never come back to life

Torn apart for eternity,

The same way that our keychains were

Lost to time, though they fade to white,

Let that very girl and summer I grieve

Possess me again

I miss them so much that it’s all I can think

When, since when, were my feelings so insane?

The bell chimes on, and September starts the same

But today, your desk has a flower that would mean

You’re the bullies’ prey, and all because of me

So, maybe you’ll remember now

You look away, I won’t let it go

So, let me make it better now

I’m here when you get hurt, you know?

Drowning but waving that hand above

I couldn’t kiss it enough

Those laughing monsters don’t have a heart inside,

Just a void they fill by killing your light

Soon, by nails you were dug into

The same way that your skirt was

Cutting right through the peace of mind,

Through that very girl and summer, a scream

Echoes all around

It pierces the classroom and sky, bluer it seems

So, we’ll be friends forever now

I took your hand and won’t let it go

So, since we’re not together now

There’s nowhere else to turn, you know?

See-through and shapeless, I wonder if

In such a world, we’re in love

Yet again I’m

Flashing back, to cicada cries,

And to you, who’ll never come back to life

Torn apart for eternity,

The same way that our keychains were

Lost to time, though they fade to white,

Let that very girl and summer I grieve

Possess me again

I miss them so much that it’s all I can think

Suddenly, though

You lifted your finger of glass

Pointing to me
