I was feeling really great after trading more pms with
tomatoe18 earlier. And while I still feel relieved and like there's some closure on the bullshit on
breakerz, I managed to spoil my mood a bit.
Note to self: NEVER LOOK AT AKIHIDE'S LYRICS IF YOU WANT TO STAY IN A GOOD MOOD.
I decided I wanted to post the translations I have instead of beating my head against the songs I haven't gotten to yet. So I started pulling out my files and reading through them. Somehow, his lyrics have taken on a very different meaning for me since the last time I did this.
ピアニスト, especially, is taking the words right out of my mouth. The bittersweet, not exactly regretful feelings it details echo my own towards him so much. Hopefully I can get this icky feeling out of my system here before I post the translation.
that rose you gave me will not wither
it'll still continue to bloom in my heart
every day I have left without you is long
but I'm still lucky just to have met you
It's strange how these fours lines perfectly describe my relationship with NEVER LAND now. Actually, the whole damn song does, but these lines sum it up nicely. The song is about something ephemeral, that existed just long enough to deeply impact the people involved, and forcing oneself to appreciate that impact instead of only seeing what they lost.
