English Translation
An ache upon an unsatisfying grayscale
My confidence vanishes
I ignored our chipped blades
I worked overtime just for maintenance
But I knew all along
That this faded color was an irreversible law
So I might as well pray
There’s no turning back now
I thought I had made up my mind
But I’m still haunted by doubt and anxiety
A bundle of emotions torn to shreds
With nothing left for me to gain
What’s more important than one’s life
Is to shoulder that burden to sever this monochrome
I keep searching for the answer to an unsolvable thesis
While making choices until I die
Then I remember where we came from
And the lives that could never interact
No one is allowed to use the scale
Since it falls apart in an instant
So, what can I measure ourselves against?
Instead, I hold onto your words
That gave my heart meaning
You stand there with your morals inside out
But I could never fault you for that
A sudden flashback
To when I severed my only escape
Each time I dodge death the memories become fatally clear
When I look back on the past it’s hateful yet nostalgic
Your hasty, reckless look
Fuels my outdated inferiority complex
I can’t seem to wash away
The incompatible color I have selected
And yet, a still unfinished future lies before my eyes
A lingering thought haunts me
I tell myself over and over
Stop assuming and embrace the distance
Be reckless and draw the bow
A quiver more important than one’s life
Is to shoulder that burden to pierce through this monochrome
I keep searching for the answer to an unsolvable thesis
While making choices until I die
Then I remember where we came from
And the lives that could never interact
No one is allowed to use the scale
Since it falls apart in an instant
So, what can I measure ourselves against?
Instead, I hold onto your words
That gave my heart meaning
It’s always a paradox
The moon waxes with each regret and sadness
The massive, unconquerable foe is
The darkness that dwells within me
I forsook my pride and joy
But I am still confounded by this flock of imperfection
Beyond that white and resentful midnight sun awaits an illusion etched in black
