散り散り (Scattered)

Producer: 読谷あかね

Producer’s first song.

JapaneseEnglish
もの足りないからIn search of more,
停滞した残映にいざさらばWe bid farewell to our stagnant afterimage.
全ては胡蝶の夢 (それだけ)Everything is but a butterfly dream (and nothing more),
先だって突っ立ってちゃ持ち腐れEven if you take the first step, stop and it all goes to waste.
ホワイトリリーもアガスティアさえもNo matter white lilies or the Leaves of Agastya,
水を与えられずに枯れ落ちたWithout water, they all withered and fell,
輪郭の滲んだかたちBlurring the edges of their forms.
詭弁も欺瞞も標になるならIf sophistry and deception are what guide you in life,
健全たるは何者であるかThen who really can be considered healthy?
ティンカーベルはうんざりTinker Bell is getting sick of this.
拗らせた体熱も落ちた星屑もMy neglected fever and the fallen stardust
海馬傍回に潜り込んだままSnuck into my hippocampal gyrus,
行ったり来たりBack and forth,
空集合の緩やかなアーチを描くロータリーAs if a traffic circle tracing the gentle arc of the empty set1.
心とらえたあの頃の言葉もEven the words that captured my heart back then
おぼろ雲のように通り過ぎてゆくNow pass through like hazy clouds,
あの日と同じ春風で風化したWeathering away from the same spring wind as that day.
散散探したステガノグラフィーI looked everywhere for hidden steganography,
暴けもせずに散り散りりりBut everything scattered apart before I could even unearth it.
歪んだ三叉路の彼方On the other side of this twisted junction,
積み重ねたってまた最初からNo matter how much I’ve accumulated, it’s all back to the start.
ペトリコールだけ追い求めてもくたびれ儲けAll I seek is the smell of petrichor, yet I only wear myself out.
蛻の牢に絆されてはNow that I’m bound to this hollow prison,
どうか×2 皆さん“Please, please everyone,
あの雲の上でまた会えたらとIf we were to meet again above those clouds,”
寄る辺もない言葉並べては仕舞ったI finally laid out these lonely words,
埃積もって色褪せたLetting them gather dust and fade away.
転轍の果て移る並列The end of a railroad switch, a shifting parallel,
有為転変に準えた新月A new moon imitating impermanence,
諦念のダムゼル・イン・ディストレスA resigned damsel in distress,
厭世家が歌うオーディトリアムA pessimist’s singing in the auditorium.
レールは回り続けるThe railroad keeps going in circles,
今日の日もさよならToday, too, ends in a goodbye.
