miiro (미로) - the forest where monsters bloom (괴물이 피는 숲) lyric translations
did a quick translation of this song for my friends (thanks mello and cyn for recommending it to me)! i think the official translations in the video are great, i just wanted to offer my own interpretation of the lyrics ^^
In this world, where the privilege of the strong
is the survival of the weak
Within the stopped time, and the dried-up rainwater,
it’s burning
In the shattered garden,
where even the flowers of emotions have withered,
only the small sparks of hatred remain
With their gazes fixed upon the darkness,
and their footsteps sinking deeper into the swamp,
people are killing one another
The words of love have disappeared,
and only dust remains
Even so, within that, it blooms
Even the small, small eyes,
contains a world that shines this brightly amongst them
That clumsy words and expressions can melt away like this,
is what I’ve been wishing for, over and over again, endlessly
Even though I crash against it, even though I shatter,
I am dyed solely by that beauty
Even if this flame that finds me again
calls me to hell once more
Because even if the night sky glares at you again
with its ever-deepening eyes, I will keep you safe
Stay as you are, beautifully, in that wrecked place,
for I will protect you, just as I promised
That gaze, dirtied upon everyone’s fingertips,
is crumbling down again
Held within
the colour of those clouds, draped across the night sky
Because the heart is born
for each other, and for oneself
Even within that, the scars that one must protect
Even if I sketch a world that shines as bright as this,
standing here, with it all engraved
What I grasp within this weak heart
is what I’ve been screaming for, over and over again, endlessly
Even though I’m disappearing, even though I’m being wrecked,
I am dyed solely by that beauty
Even if this pain that finds me again
torments me and blooms once more
Because even if the night sky glares at you again
with its seemingly-rough breathing, I will keep on living
Even if I lose my way and grow tired in this cruel place,
for I will protect you, just as I promised
Even if I could erase all of this right now,
that would hold no meaning without you
Because even if these moments torment us and leave scars,
we will overcome it in the end
Those that do not bloom, but are made to bloom
by someone, and for someone
Gazing at each other,
without stopping, and without concealing
Even though I crash against it, even though I shatter,
I am dyed solely by that beauty
Even if this flame that finds us again
calls forth an ending once more
Because even if all the night skies hate you again
with their ever-deepening eyes, I will continue loving you
At this world’s end, even if we forget everything,
I promise you, just as we are,
we will soon bloom
miiro replied to your post “Just random thoughts but I've been thinking about changing my url into...”
Brand wise... gotta at least think about if you want to keep Nobu as a name artist wise
I mean, I don’t necessarily want to keep Nobu as my artist name,, It’s just that I’ve kept this name for a small eternity now so changing it is a bit :’)
Just curious, is the piece for sakurazensen ijou nashi in the queue? I remember it being in the collab, I was just hoping to see it here too!
Answering this one in public: I’ve already reblogged all I could find in the mikucollab2017 tag. If anyone has posted their submission and I didn’t see it, I guess it’s tumblr glitching the hell out of me (or everyone), so feel free to send me a link to your submission and I’ll add it to the queue.
