Takeru Sasazuka's Song - Translation
Aaaand here’s Takeru Sasazuka’s song. Angery boy!
Jumbled with irritating noise, Steeped in grey, This city of contradictions Confuses black and white. Suddenly, the bonds That entangled my feet are severed, And the scent of shattered memories rises again.
Every time I escape the dark snares That are laid out over and over, I whisper: What will be left in my hand? I don’t need a meaningless answer.
If I can't reach the conclusion I’m seeking, Any light that shines is only a hindrance. In the shadows into which I gaze The only thing that makes me smile Is a sweet temptation from the other side.
At the threshold of a frozen season, I closed my eyes next to someone. Nostalgic and inopportune, It was a night of contradictions. I wonder why I didn’t hate The touch of her sleeping breath on my ear. I wish I could discard these virtuous misgivings.
Her eyes were pure and fragile, Like delicate glass. I worry earnestly: What can I do? I’m looking for an impossible answer.
I wonder why there's so much light glimmering At the end of this world That entraps us in hatred. Me, who was getting charmed By the shadows into which I gaze, You’re binding me to this place.
Although you hung your head in impotence, It was your grasp that stopped me in my tracks.
The dark past from which I could not be rescued Not matter how much I struggled, I have escaped it to rejoin the present. You, who chased me with such honesty, In your tears I've found The answer that unlocks the future.
So, to share the conclusion that I wanted And now hold in my hand, I need no words. Your body that I pulled to me, this thought, I embrace them both, tight. I choose only the tomorrow in which you exist.
