[Album - rainboW] Fujii Ryuusei - FLOWER OF ROMANCE
Lights shine by one after the other
On a lonely, sunny afternoon
My eyes, blinded by the dangerous colours
As the loneliness creeps up to me
Swaying and swaying
The string falls
As it chokes me, an ordinary person
Once more, just once more
If given the chance, I want to laugh and tell you I'm sorry
My broken glass heart
Has already shattered into pieces
Even if I tried to pick up and put the pieces back together
I couldn't return it back to the way it was
Take a slice of moulded cheese
I should just throw it away, but I have it adorned
Because I know
That it's not rotten yet, it's stupid, right?
Ah, surely you'll get mad at me again
I wonder since when have I loved you so
But fate is just so cruel
Even though you're not here anymore
I can't go back to how I was before I met you
I look for stars in the blue sky to wish upon
That my memories of our embrace can last forever
This world is getting darker and darker
I just want to see you
Dancing one after another
The shimmer of hot air on a blazing afternoon
My eyes, blinded by the dangerous colours
As the pain creeps up to me
Swaying and swaying
The string falls
As it chokes me, an ordinary person
Once more, just once more
If given the chance, can I laugh and tell you I'm sorry?
I want to
Dance in madness
Absurdly
Hold me, and my stray tears
Let my clear memories remain
In this time close to eternity
Swaying and swaying
The string falls
As it chokes me, an ordinary person
One more time, just one more time
I just want to see and laugh with you again
Lights shine by one after the other
On a lonely, sunny afternoon
My eyes, blinded by the dangerous colours
As the pain creeps up to me
Swaying and swaying
The string falls
As it chokes me, an ordinary person
Once more, just once more
I just want to see and laugh with you again
One more time, just one more time
The unchanging sky
Lightly, so lightly
Fluttering down
The changing scenery, and sweet fragrance
I have to go, I need to go
I beg of God
Till we meet in the next life (time)

※ T/N: for context, as Ryuusei explained in the magazine interview in MG Vol. 4, this song is about a dangerous man who met with an accident and is on the verge of death. As his inevitable fate approaches, he looks up at the sky, thinking of his most beloved person. He eventually gives up on clinging onto life and can only pray to meet his beloved again in his next life.
(I had to read the interview to finally understand the context lmao :'))
