Kagen no Tsukiyo - Fantôme Iris
Night of the Waning half-moon
The door that leads to the next season
is already in front of (us)
But I want to keep ringing the bell of hesitation for just a little longer.
Even in a sudden rain,
no matter how many times I was hit
while wet, I walked.
Wash away all the past wounds,
and scream a new song.
The wish that bloomed
stronger than anyone else.
Slowly, taking its time:
a beautiful, irregular lily.
A flower that never withers.
Is the bell of hesitation still echoing in your heart?
Come on, with your wet claws
tear to pieces this darkness,
go towards the light.
I turn my piled up feelings
into music,
and now I scream them out.
I want them to reach you.
Let’s leave these coward shards
Far, far away, in this endless* scenery.
Turn this ringing feeling in your chest
into a compass,
Guiding you towards the night of the Waning half-moon…
The flower of lily,
beautiful and irregular,
made the dreams bloom
Stronger than anyone else.
Slowly, taking its time
A flower that will never wither.
Let’s leave these coward shards
Far, far away, in this endless* scenery.
Turn this ringing feeling in your chest
into a compass,
guiding you towards the night of the Waning half-moon…
Towards the night of the Waning half-moon…
*the most appropriate meaning in this context is endless, but this word, when paired with “dreams”, usually indicates that they have been left incomplete, unfulfilled
