余韻 || lingering memory

[mynameisdish]

余韻　lingering memory

作詞　RUKI
作曲　the GazettE

夢の終わり　
僅かな声さえ届かぬ程　
腐敗した　
画面には偽が絶えず　
余韻さえも霞んで　

• decayed like the end of a dream, where only a few voices reach me
• in the image, falsehoods die out, and all but the reverberation grows hazy

This scene
言葉繋ぎ輪を描いた切望　
This scene
過ぎ去る日々に　
薄れてゆく祈りよ海へ...

美しき光　僅かな醜　

• This scene　desperation drawn by prayers
• This scene　fading prayers (sink) into the sea as the days pass...
• beautiful light　a little unclean

This rain which melts into my skin
Slowly
そっと深く理念の底　
問いかけるように　
そう「いつかは風と化ける」　
知ってた筈だね

美しき光　僅かな醜　
剥き出しの暗黙に加速する感情の壊死　

• This rain which melts into my skin slowly
• softly, deep into the bottom of my mind
• as though calling to me that we all knew
• "one day we will become the wind"
• beautiful light　an little unclean
• the necrosis of feeling, accelerated by stark understanding

This rain which melts into my skin
Slowly
そっと深く理念の底　
突き刺さった現実　
喪失の海　
無力の覚り　
嘆いたあの日　

• This rain which melts into my skin slowly
• softly, deeply into the bottom of my mind
• the piercing of reality
• the sea of loss
• the realization of (utter) helplessness
• I grieved that day

This song was so beautifully done yesterday (Kobe). The words they show on the big screen before the performance of this, and the ocean kind of make me think that this song might have been inspired by 3-11. I haven't read any interviews on it yet, but that is just my speculation. Anyway I almost cried and felt like a cray. So here I'm translating lyrics and sniffling on my floor.

I took some artistic liberties with this translation, since some things simply don't translate fluidly, And then some of it might just be wrong. This is what I came up with, though.
