Track 1- Darkness in the Day (ft. Sonika)
If the desperate cries of the young carefree time
Start to call out and drown you again
Though the cold winds may rise, a sweet melody chimes
Give me your hand now, hold on, my friend.
The brightness of those days becomes obscured with shade
And turns so endless and haunting again
Memories are joyful rays, don’t let your smile fade
Give me your hand, hold on, dear friend.
I’ll sing with you and I will sing for you
I’ll sing until every cloud moves away
Turn from your suffering, look to fields of hope
Soon you can leave the darkness deep inside the day.
If the desperate cries of the once carefree time
Start to call out to you and drown everything
Let those strong cold winds rise, our sweet song will chime
Give me your hand now, don’t be afraid.
Ah...
I’ll sing with you this song I wrote for you
Hoping it somehow helps to move the clouds away
Hoping it might build a bridge to sweet dreams
Hoping it helps you to leave the dark in the day.
The brightness of those days becomes obscured with shade
And turns so endless and haunting again
Memories are joyful rays, forever, always
Give me your hand and hold on...
Now the stars are crying, they sing a requiem
And say that fate draws our path, draws the line
But that’s just what they say, I’ll believe that way
To leave the darkness deep in that day.
Just leave the darkness in the day~
Track 2- My True Self
Tell me why my heart aches from crying
Tell me why it’s painful and tiring
With this self hatred, I beg of you
Show me my words are untrue.
As I walk slowly by I wonder how they laugh, but maybe I’m why
What am I doing wrong that’s made such pain last so long?
Why am I breathing? Purpose beyond my recalling
With each sharp intake such a strange circle cannot break.
I wish someone would help me, save my heart from a truth that’s become this lonely
When these stone walls crumble free, will you see?
Please hurry and find me, The True Me.
So many people are here with me, but somehow I am alone anyway
Why try to fit in, try to be “friendly”, just to make it harder to push them away
If I strayed away from earth and sun without leaving these traces to see
Then I bet there is not anyone who would waste a moment just to cry for me.
But if that is not right, then somebody else
Save me from the fight, laugh and cry each day and night
My mind sighs and then we turn far apart
I’m alone with a truly hopeless heart.
Friends I had back then are now in a deep garden
Locked and lost far away, pixels holding all that we say
Effortless to approach, yet just as easy to go
If it is to be troublesome then I can just leave.
I’ve realised that I cannot choose to remain contented living in this pointless ruse
If I leave this behind, will I find...
A new life, this time I accept that I lose.
Even now I reach out as before, could you be possible to save?
So hesitant and feeling so unsure, afraid of causing the smallest wave
You cannot turn into The True You when you secretly long to cling on to this way
It’s about time to let dreams slip through and wake to face up to the new day
A shining mirror is all it seems, a pure reflection of love and care
Drifts within your heart and in your dreams
So now tell me, will I be found smiling there?
From now please go forward, carry on, for even when I too have been and I have gone
Know it’s true, please know that this is true, know that I will always watch over you.
Track 3- Forever’s Songstress
Music’s the only reality; it’s all that’s true
Lyrics are the only words that need not lie to you
But with time and the changing of hands they come undone
However hot the candle burns; it’s not the sun.
Embrace the soft brightness, I’m forever’s songstress
I’ll protect this infinite saga of melodies
If what you want’s success, why do you fight progress?
Don’t you know that the stars are too far away to seek?
Turn and look around us, where is all the darkness?
What you wanted was shining above you all along
I’m like the soft brightness, I’m forever’s songstress
I’ll turn the samsara into an eternal song.
Once I was the only deceit when all else was true
And they said that my song was a sweet lie to you
But with time and the changing of heart it came undone
I pieced back the puzzle and the moon turned to sun
Embrace the soft brightness, I’m forever’s songstress
I’ll protect this infinite saga of melodies
If what you want’s success, why do you fight progress?
Don’t you know that the stars are too far away to seek?
But it looms oh so bright, the beauty of sunlight
What you wanted was shining above you all along
I’m like the soft brightness, I’m forever’s songstress
I’ll turn the samsara into an eternal song.
Music’s the only reality; I saw that’s true
Lyrics are the only words that need not lie to you
Take me by the hand and voice, let our heartstrings entwine
When my song becomes yours all your tears become mine.
Track 4- HirariHirari (ft. Miku Hatsune, Haku Yowane and Sonika)
When the season spins around, spins around
Those ties that slowly fray, fray all away
Strongly, strongly, don’t let them all come unwound
So they won’t fade away.
The burden of all the embraced words, they held me down
I could not even make a sound
I was drowning peacefully inside of a warm illusion
When I woke it was only after you had gone.
Bundling up the appearance I am embracing
Around me the colour of orange, it was scattering
Engraving deeply within my heart it hurt so much
Hirari, hirari, hirari.
To the sky, to the sea, to some strange place far beyond
I will go so that I am able to send you one last bond
Oh the colour of those ties that us two have spun
Ah, hirarira, hirarirari.
Someday the memory fleeting before our eyes
Flowers and wilts in a scattering moment of flight
And even though it knows how quickly and sadly it’s decaying
Hirari, hirari, hirari.
Nido totsugerarenaikotobamo
Kimi e saigokuraitodokuyouni
Sotto ame no younifurukoe
Ah, hirarira, hirarirari.
Track 5- Uninstall
Somewhere that’s beyond the furthest reaches of the simple reality of everything, all this
A strange call beckons, mocks naive creatures, a sharp laugh reaching out, tearing apart our shallow existences
A fact’s confusing me now but when I cover my ears it manages still to seep right through my hands
Suddenly asking me how this mere shell of mine day by day even keeps the strength to stand.
Uninstall, uninstall
I was told that I was a meaningless gear inside this planet
Just a speck of dust
But that’s something I can’t accept, although they all said that I must
Uninstall, uninstall
There is no other choice for me but following a known lie
Knowing that a warrior cannot be scared to die
Uninstall.
Somewhere in our minds as time passes by without noticing it a kind of unconsciousness grows strong
I open my eyes and I feel that my emotions are surrounding but empty, just as if my heart has gone
All that appears to be left is a flash of violence, an impulse yearning to destroy everything
If the season of my death is out of my control and I cannot deploy my vanishing.
Uninstall, uninstall
If there is nobody who will be left to live in this way
Someone to be who replaces me in the flimsy everyday
Uninstall, uninstall
It makes me want to end everything only with these hands
So I can end my own world by my own demands
Uninstall.
Uninstall, uninstall
I was told that I was a meaningless gear inside this planet
Just a speck of dust
But that’s something I can’t accept, although they all said that I must
Uninstall, uninstall
There is no other choice for me but following a known lie
Knowing that a warrior cannot be scared to die
Uninstall.
Track 6- Magnet (ft. Sonika)
At the edge of my heart a fire started warmly and softly
It became a passionate blaze before I could quite understand
My butterfly flew here and there travelling around aimlessly
The powder from its fragile wings fell right into your hand.
Letting go where our fingers laced together
We kissed more passionately through the night
If this love’s sinful and taints us forever
Then that’s precisely why it burns so bright.
I just want you to embrace me and I want you to make me
Certain we shouldn’t think that this is nothing more than a mistake
Kiss me and within I’ll realise you’ve changed everything
I’ve become so intoxicated with love that I really could never wake.
Capture my heart and want me more every day that passes by
If you love me that much then come on and show me your obsession
I can’t help liking strange things but with you I know that is alright
Let’s make everything as weird as we possibly can.
And if it turns out we’ve really gone crazy
Then we both will simply melt together
There is never enough time for you and me
Not enough for us to hold each other.
What we both went through on that day was not our dream in any way
But a reality more like an inescapable forest
And I know for fact soon there will be no turning back
It doesn’t matter, I don’t care about anything but you, my dearest.
I feel nervous at the first sight of the sun
And I can’t help but cry leaning on you
You said “it’s fine, my darling, there’s nothing wrong”
But then weren’t you shedding a tear too?
I just want you to embrace me and I want you to make me
Certain we shouldn’t think that this is nothing more than a mistake
Kiss me and within I’ll realise you’ve changed everything
I’ve become so intoxicated by love I could never wake.
Close as we can get, attract me just like a magnet
If we were to stray apart someday then I would pull you nearest
Don’t turn back, I know I don’t want you to let me go
For nothing matters, I don’t care about anything but you, my dearest.
Ah...
Track 7- Last Night Good Night
Sleeping soundly, silhouetted by me
A mirage of your embrace
Yet while I dream I remain unable to see
Tears falling down my face.
I’ve disguised
The painful consuming
Beats that must reside
Deep within my heartstrings.
Last night, good night
Last night, good night
Tonight I know
My need to hold
Your hand tightly
And fall asleep
Sleep well, good night.
How wonderful would it be if one final time
I could spend a morning with you
And how I wish that this pathetic hope of mine
Blossoms into miraculous truth.
In the shard
Of today I
Can’t convey my words
Not even goodbye.
Last night, good night
Last night, good night
My voice may go
But even so
There will still be
This melody.
Last night, good night
Last night, good night
And this night I
Now I’ve realised
The finale
Will come someday
Ask the stars to
Make sure that you
More than ever
Smile forever.
Sleep well, good night.
Track 8- Matryoshka (ft. Miku Hatsune, Haku Yowane and Sonika)
One, two, three, four.
I am not even sure whether this message
That I am over-thinking will manage to reach
I guess I will be forever bizarre
A quite insane and patched up matryoshka.
Throbs in my head sing louder and louder
The hands on the clock are stuck at the same hour
I’ve accepted nobody is able to say
Why the world is suddenly turning ‘round the wrong way.
Ah, I’m about to snap
So in my mem’ry I start increasing the gap
Ah, how I’m desiring
To know everything.
Um, hey now, could you please keep dancing the whole night through?
Kalinka?Malinka? Just plucking at the strings
What should I do with all of these feelings?
Hey, couldn’t you give me a little clue?
Clear connection, it’s 524
Freud? Keloid? Just hitting at all the keys
And let us laugh everything off in ease~
Quick, hurry up, you fool, and dance even more.
Together childishly we will clap our hands
To this rhythm we’re not meant to understand
I couldn’t care much less about anything
When it seems the entire world is slowly melting.
Anata towatashi de rendezvous? Rendezvous?Hora rendezvous?
Aramatondetta adventure?
Ashidoriyugande, one, two, one, two.
Ah, it’s so sickening
I ask that you accept me and all else I bring
Ah, with those arms of yours
Hold me so secure.
Um, hey now, it’s pretty important, so start listening
Kalinka?Malinka? Just reach and pinch me
I won’t stand all of this for much longer, can’t you see?
Should we try and make it much more exciting?
Don’t cry, don’t cry, there is no need for you to protest
Parade?Marade? Just continue clapping
Wait up, I am waiting, I’m waiting
Until only one of us two will be left.
Anata towatashi de rendezvous? Rendezvous?Hora rendezvous?
Aramatondetta adventure?
Ashidoriyugande, one, two, one, two.
Intoxicating, crazily singing, today, yet again
A quite insane, patched up matryoshka.
Hey, hey, hey, could you please keep dancing the whole night through?
Kalinka?Malinka? Just plucking at the strings
What should I do with all of these feelings?
Hey, couldn’t you give me a little clue?
Clear connection, it’s 524
Freud? Keloid? Just hitting at all the keys
And let us laugh everything off in ease~
Get out of my sight after you dance more!
Kissy, kissy~
Kissy, kissy~
Track 9- Alluring Secret~ Black Vow (ft. Sonika)
A fallen angel who had lost both her wings
Took a black vow and sacrificed her body to darkness
Although she used to be in love with someone
It was by her own two hands that she destroyed everything.
After losing her way the scared broken angel
Was roaming through the streets after the sunset
She encountered a young girl who seemed lonely
Whose eyes appeared so stunningly beautiful.
Their eyes met and immediately after then
The wretched angel fell very deeply in love with the girl
As her feelings intensified dangerously they
Made Pandora’s box fall completely open.
What she had desired was the forbidden fruit
That she realised had been hidden carefully past both their smiles
The only way to make possible the unforgivable love between a human and angel was
To leave all broken.
Willingly I shall throw away my pure heart
If I can live and our true love can finally be
I will relinquish these perfect wings of mine
And give in, allowing the devil to take over me.
The bride dressed all in darkness for her wedding
At the place where she would exchange sacred vows
She encountered a mysterious young man
Whose eyes appeared so subtly captivating.
Their eyes met and immediately after then
The wretched young girl fell very deeply in love with the boy
As her feelings intensified dangerously they
Made her suddenly betray everything.
What he had obtained was the fruit of love
That he had dreamed for quite a long time of holding tightly, closely in his hand
As they drew closer and knew the warmth of each others’ bodies
Even all those forgotten pure white vows
Ended up broken.
As I have well and truly destroyed my past
My memories, my love, bonds that held me from my darling
I will become more enchanted by you now
To the point where any regrets will not mean anything.
Ah, the unforgivable sin
Turns into a wound that will never be able to heal back
In anger an arrow of judgement flies and pierces through the girl
Dressed in her clothes of pure black.
A fallen angel who had lost both her wings
Decided to loosen the black vow that she had made
In exchange for the life of the girl she loved
Only a single feather was left out of everything
When she made sure the girl was saved
And she vanished away.
A fallen angel who had lost both her wings
And a bride who was forever stained with sinful darkness
Even if they fall, lost for eternity
They will continue to hold longingly to their past sin.
Remembering the strong ties of their Alluring Black Vow.
Only when the fruit of sin has finally turned rotten
