(My heartbeat, like a wilted flower
Awaiting its eternal bloom
Hopeless pulse tiredly crumbling
Into a fragile bouquet of lights
Shining through the secrets
Of my everlasting shadows
Oh, can I feel the raging despair
Of my past miseries
Now slowly blossoming
Like a soft breeze over my skin,
Gentle hand caressing my face
In a silent halo of beauty)
I grew up in a storm
Like everybody else
I’ve been looking for peace
And kneeling for love
My heartbeat
(Satsuki yami)
Oh, satsuki yami
(Kodō)
My heartbeat
(Satsuki yami)
I grew up in a storm
(Arashi no nakade sodatta)
Oh, heartbeat
(Satsuki yami)
Satsuki yami
(Kodō)
Heartbeat
(Marude minna no tame)
As if for everyone
I’m orphan shadow
Grim as teardrops falling like fire
I let go to the sounds
My heartbeat
(Satsuki yami)
Oh, satsuki yami
(Kodō)
Heartbeat
(Satsuki yami)
As if for everyone
(Arashi no naka de sodatta)
Heartbeat
(Satsuki yami)
Satsuki yami

Heartbeat
(Marude minna no tame)
I grew up in a storm
(Satsuki yami)
I grew up in a storm
(Satsuki yami)
I grew up in a storm
(Satsuki yami)
A storm
(Satsuki yami)
My winter eyes have never been blue,
Awaiting spring to be set free,
I saw a widow sky reflecting shades,
Of a mourning prayer dawn.
Like a devotional abandonment,
I dwelled into a storm and grew marvelled.
Oh my illusions,
Faithless whispers, faithless whispers.
I kneeled before the horizon’s warmth
Of old summer promises.
Oh, open arms, open arms
I welcomed teardrops over my fire,
Can’t you hear
Oh, my heartbeat
(Kodō)
Heartbeat
(Kodō)
Satsuki yami
(Satsuki yami)
Satsuki yami
(Marude minna no tame no yō)
Satsuki yami

My heartbeat

Empire of Sorrows
06:23
|
|||
|
Empire of sorrows, as if for everyone,
I grew up in a storm
Good fortune teller's spell
A stranger in a land,
Ripped from all its firstborn sons
Turned shadows into dark,
Ghosts of hopeless morning screams
The flows of underground, way too bright to be seen,
In a darkness of my own, in a darkness of my own
In a darkness of my own, I can see a thousand cranes
Like neon bridal sparks are feeding old whispers
I'm covering love with shame,
Like a sun in smoking waves
I dressed up faith with lies
And confessed make-believes
As the tide keeps blooming high, as the tide…
As the tide keeps blooming high
Shining waters blaze like evil flowers grow
The city is a mess, reflection of the sky
We're glowing in the streets, like shamans' rituals
All dressed up as widows, all dressed up as widows
Looking for anywhere
Looking for anywhere but here
Looking for anywhere but here
I bet you
I bet you, I bet you, I bet you, looking for anywhere
Looking for anywhere but here, looking for anywhere
I bet you, I bet you, I bet you, looking for anywhere
Looking for anywhere but here
Looking for anywhere but here, looking for anywhere
Looking for anywhere but here, looking for anywhere
Looking for anywhere but here, looking for anywhere
If it's the end of time, if it's new morning shade
The colors running dry, our senses losing frame
As if love needed sight to promise company
As long as there is light, I guess no more shall we part
In a darkness of my own, in a darkness of my own
Is there anything more, any safe home
To lay down, to lay down
Is there anything more
Any place, any place, to lay down
Is there anything more
Any place, any place, any place
Is there anything more
To lay down, to lay down, to lay down, to lay down
To lay down, to lay down, to lay down
Empire of sorrows, as if for everyone,
I grew up in a storm
Good fortune teller's spell,
A stranger in a land,
Ripped from all its firstborn sons
Turned shadows into dark,
Ghosts of hopeless morning screams
The flows of underground, way too bright to be seen,
In a darkness of my own, in a darkness of my own
Tell me, tell me, is there more
Oh Johnny, Johnny tell me, tell me, is there more
I can’t hear you Jojo, tell me, tell me
Is there more, is there more Johnny
Tell me, tell me Johnny

A View From Within
05:35

For many years I've been waiting
Craving for you
Your whispers, the way to the underworld
I'm yearning, my muse
Can you solace the shades feeding on my grief
Would you spoil my blood for high tides
Your breath over my wounds, ascension tonight
Your kick stung right through my will
Sucked my desires forevermore
Your bites are no stranger to my skin
As you left me on the floor
Slow motion death
Should I confess the waves shining like gold
As silver keeps blooming deep
No contrition this time, already had my share
No words for regrets
Can you silence the voices inside my head
Can you tame the shadows with lights
There's a fire burning down my veins tonight
Can you tear down the veil right in front of my eyes
Can you make the lies become truths
Is the master of the house coming tonight
Please, tell me again how you want me
Need your murmurs around my neck
You're a wasting disease for my soul
Go on, make me forget
Can you silence the voices inside my head
Can you tame the shadows with lights
There's a fire burning down my veins tonight
Can you tear down the veil right in front of my eyes
Can you make the lies become truths
Is the master of the house coming tonight
Nozomi, sono aratana senpū no hikarino naka,
hana hiraita toki
Kage wa shin ni kūsō wo ikizukumono heno
bōtoku to naru, tsumi bukai mononi
Kataware sono koromo wo mini matoi
yoakemae ni hizamazuita toki
Donna sasayaki mo senbazuru no inori ni ataisuru
okurimono to naru
(Every shadow is a curse for true daydream breather
As we blossomed in the lights of a new whirl of desire
Any whisper is a gift worth a thousand cranes’ prayers
As we’re kneeling before dawn dressed in soulmates garments)
Can you silence the voices inside my head
Can you tame the shadows with lights
There's a fire burning down my veins tonight
Can you tear down the veil right in front of my eyes
Can you make the lies become truths
Is the master of the house coming tonight

It's been a while, hasn't it
Where did we lose each other
Is it somewhere between
Your skin, my grief and weakness
Where did we lose each other
It's strange somehow (Illusions feeding memories)
There must be dreams I can breathe
Love’s long way gone (Winter's crawling over me)
It's been a while, it's been too long
I should have told you everything
Needed to keep it in, to keep the sorrows inside
Your eyes, your eyes, looking at me
Your blame, my shame, a thousand whispers
I'm falling down, I’m on my knees
I'm just a soul who lost his way, away, away
The cut is deep, but ain't too late
Need salvation to light my way, away, away
It’s been a while, hasn't it
Glad to be back from despairs
I never thought it could
Be good to scream in laughter
Where did we lose each other
It’s strange somehow
(I’ve been dressed up in your fears)
I’ve learned to lie in my grief
Tears long way gone
(I’m not sleeping at your feet)
I'm falling down, I’m on my knees
I'm just a soul who lost his way, away, away
The cut is deep, but ain't too late
Need salvation to light my way, away, away
Je suis l'hiver, je suis le vent
Une saison morte, cent fois trahie
Le coeur dupé, gifle du temps
Tout est perdu
J'ai cru en toi, fardée de blanc,
Tu m'as menti, souillé dès l'aube,
Suivi tes pas, vertige d'âme
Je ne t'aime plus
Je ne t'aime plus, je reprends vie
Je ne t'aime plus
(I am winter, I am wind
A dead season
A hundred times betrayed
Heart fooled, humiliated by time
Everything is lost
I trusted you, white as snow
You lied to me, tainted me
As soon as dawn rose
I followed your steps, soul vertigo
I love you no more
I love you no more, I live again
I love you no more)
I'm falling down, I’m on my knees
I'm just a soul who lost his way, away, away
The cut is deep, but ain't too late
Need salvation to light my way, away, away
And if I lay down
If I lay down, again
Be the water on my skin
And if I lay down
And if I lay down
Again, again

He called me late last night,
Saying he found something or someone
It wasn't clear, or maybe I wasn't totally awake
I wish I've been
Everything seems so blurry at times
As if the world was falling on its knees
As if the skyline was stretching somehow
Are we all the same
Underneath...
Underneath
He said thank you, or sorry, I don't know
He sounded good… at peace...
He didn't say much, I wish he had
At least, for just another night
Underneath
He wasn't just a "guy"
He's always been someone to me
Just glad I had him if not even till dawn
Silence could be pretty loud you know
I loved everything about this place,
Like a stranger would fall in love
Somehow innocence is a plague here,
And I needed more
Silence could be pretty loud you know
Silence could be pretty loud you know
He left a few words of his own around
Who knows, I might leave as well
Maybe I just forgot what it was like to lose it all
All over again
Silence could be pretty loud you know

From the city to the ocean
Between the grief, and your sorrow
From the city to the ocean
From the city to the ocean
Heard you calling, heard you calling
From the city to the ocean
From the city to the ocean
Between the lands, my empire
From the city to the ocean
From the city to the ocean
Dusty valley, silver plateau
From the city to the ocean
From the city to the ocean
From the city to the ocean
Between the tears and your halo
From the city to the ocean
From the city to the ocean
I heard you calling, heard you crying
From the city to the ocean
From the city to the ocean
Between the waves, raging fire
From the city to the ocean
From the city to the ocean
Shiny valley, golden plateau
From the city to the ocean
From the city to the ocean
Your shadow's on the edge of water
From the city to the ocean
Between the fear and its tantrum
From the city to the ocean
From the city to the ocean
From the city to the ocean
I felt your whispers, you kept my secrets
From the city to the ocean
From the city to the ocean
From the city to the ocean
Between your words, my desires
From the city to the ocean
From the city to the ocean
From the city to the ocean
Faded valley, long gone plateau
From the city to the ocean
From the city to the ocean
You're calling me in, you're calling me out,
calling me in
From the city to the ocean, the ocean
You're calling me in, you're calling me out,
calling me in
From the city to the ocean, the ocean
Your shadow's on the edge of water
Between the lies, my hideouts
Between the tides, mourning prayers
Illusion's a ghost, floating over heads
Shivering whispers and sacred make-believes
Your wave is a smile flickering sorrows
As we're turning fog into daydream
For lack of better tomorrows
Your shadow's on the edge of water
From the city to the ocean
From the city to the ocean
And if I should be there
I’ll tear my curtain down
As long as it looks real
As long as it looks real
As long as it looks real
Real

I Just Want You to Know
05:19

Don’t you wish for wings to fly
To blow yourself away from the lies
Tell me, don’t you dream for will to scream
To keep your grief from mournful colors
Your head out of the water
I just want you to know
We’re all feeding illusions,
Aren’t we all the same
Hopeless whispers sketching love
From all the shame
We’re so much more than noise
We're so much more than noise
Don’t you wish for sounds to last
To raise your voice to reach the sky
Tell me, don’t you crave for strength to cry
To get your light a drifting blast
A drifting blast
I know that you can’t stand those feelings anymore
It’s killing you, killing you inside, killing you inside
I know that you can’t stand those feelings anymore
It’s killing you, killing you inside, killing you inside
It's killing you inside, it's killing you
I just want you to know
We’re all feeding illusions,
Aren’t we all the same
Hopeless whispers sketching love
From all the shame
We’re so much more than noise
Noise, noise...
There's way more, can't you see
I’m wondering if there’s a place to lay down
To feel the ground within the wounds of desperation
I’ve prayed once, got through the door, to touch His crown
Faith is pretty much like pain, hard to let it go all at once
I guess comfort remains somewhere, so much higher
Until we get there, I guess we’re nothing
We’re nothing but public show, waiting somewhere
For someone else’s voice to call us home
To call us home, to call us home
For someone, for someone else's voice... a voice
I just want you to know
We’re all feeding illusions,
Aren’t we all the same
Hopeless whispers sketching love
From all the shame
We’re so much more than noise

Night colors fade again
As I'm facing what is gone, what's missing
I'm too tired to hide
Though this time I won't fake through
No, I've lost it all by myself… again
I don't have anyone to blame, it's my story...
At 1,2,3, I gotta let it go
At 1,2,3, wish I could fall on my knees…
Find some upper room
At 1,2,3, I gotta let it go, I gotta let it go
My frantic's drowned, I witness how my life is a mess right now
It's not what I've always dreamed of
Shadow is all I've got
And I just can't take anymore of this grief, this shame, this guilt…
There's so much I've kept inside, so deep inside
But I don't have anyone to blame, it's my story
At 1,2,3, I gotta let it go
At 1,2,3, need to fall down on my knees…
Find some upper room
At 1,2,3, I gotta let it go
I want to tear all the sorrows from my loss,
I need peace now, so much peace now
I've been waiting to fall
I've been craving to wane
I've been desperate for someone to hurt me
I've been whispering for someone to make me crawl
I've been feeding the lies
I've been so hopeless, way too long
But I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive
Might have become the lies I've told you
Might have become the one you despise
I've been feeding the lies
I've been dying inside
Tell me, I'll rise… there's hope
At 1,2,3, I gotta let it go
At 1,2,3, I need to rise up on my feet…
Find some upper room
At 1,2,3, I gotta let it go
I want to step out, to step out on my feet…
I'm so close now
I'm so close now, I'm so close now
I'm just one step away, one step away

Hello, is there anyone?
Hello, hello, hello…
Anyone…
I know that grief is holding you inside
I can see all the shadows covering your face
Oh, I wish I could heal you,
I wish I could have that type of faith
Your soul is mourning through unspoken tears
You don't dream anymore, you've lost yourself
You wanted to go
But thought it would be just as much of the same
You're beautiful, you're beautiful
Don't you know there's a light that shines
A fire that burns
My love will set you free
Hello, is there anyone?
Hello, hello, hello, hello…
Hello, is there anyone?
Hello, hello, hello, hello…
Anyone…
Au revoir mon amour,
Film noir et douce folie à deux.
Au revoir, sombre cortège,
Trompe-l'oeil et liaison sans détour.
Nouvelle vague et prie-Dieu ingénu, oh mon amour.
Je regarde l'horizon en marchant à rebours.
À défaut de frissons, j'accuse l'air du temps
De ne m'offrir pour seule demeure
Que maison de verre aux éclats érodés par le vent…
(Farewell, my love, film noir, sweet folly of two
Farewell, somber procession, trompe-l'oeil and straightforward affair.
New wave, and ingenuous prayer stool, oh my love.
I gaze at the horizon while walking on reverse.
For lack of thrill, I blame the spirit of times
Of offering me for only dwelling
But a house of glass, its sparkle eroded by wind)
Hello, is there anyone?
Hello, is there anyone?
Hello, is there anyone?
Hello, hello, hello, hello…
Hello, is there anyone?
Hello, is there anyone?
Hello, is there anyone?
Hello, hello, hello…

Obsession Is a Gun
06:20

Memories fading in vapor sparks
Offset motion reel, turning slow but still
Head's heavy on bad wine miseries
Suspended time, off-balance scenes
Gravity's too unreal, revolving flashes
All needs foggy under so much light
No will to breathe, no brightest crown
Smoke's way too thick to call it dawn
The little I can feel is dazzled by a voice
Choked up by hopelessness and shining silver grief
Mourning youth and lost innocence
There's nothing I can scream to make it disappear
Nous sommes muets aux temps des amours, nous sommes muets
Nous sommes muets aux temps des amours, nous sommes muets
The door's unlocked, one step away
A leap of faith defined in a concrete hazy dream
The trigger is burning my finger's obsession
To lay down sky, all over ground, all over ground
Fashion's blooming in a fabric I conceived
Pornographic old masquerade
Heartfelt promises I never, I never intended to keep
Same bitter sweet type of souvenirs
Same bitter sweet type of memories
The little I can feel,
The little I can feel is dazzled by a voice
The little I can feel,
The little I can feel is dazzled by a voice
Obsession is a gun
Obsession is a gun
Obsession is a gun
Obsession is a gun
Obsession is a gun
Obsession is a gun
Obsession is a gun
Obsession is a gun
Fallen from words
Fallen from words
To worship make-believes
My obsession is a gun
My obsession is a gun
My obsession is a gun
My obsession is a gun
Fallen from words
Fallen from words
To worship make-believes
Ai no toki, chinmoku suru… chinmoku suru…
Ai no toki, chinmoku suru… chinmoku suru…
Aux temps des amours, nous sommes muets, muets
Nous sommes muets aux temps des amours
Nous sommes muets, muets
My obsession is a gun
My obsession is a gun
My obsession is a gun
My obsession is a gun
Fallen from words
Fallen from words
To worship make-believes

And if nothing should move us no more
If everything should wither the colors that cover
our most impervious dawns and gardens…
What would be left of this fragile innocence
that one day carried us beyond awakening,
of those mornings fragranced with beauties to come,
born from our dreaming nights without probity…
And if by our doubts, ineffable sorrows,
we would withdraw ourselves so as to never see
but the shadows of days, would we not become
someone else's miseries again?
In the absence of beliefs or self-abandonment,
we will consume the faith carried from childhood
and will become bitter, choose to be old,
just as a frigid weapon witnesses the death it sows
Without any sadness or a word said,
no regret, no remorse…
As lost time is never to be found again
We are silent in a time of love
If love has vanished into poems,
No one will ever read, ever read
Between Illness and Migration
My fear is a gun of some abstract memories
And if hope's all gone, I'll be waiting here
Under cherry trees, and I will blossom
And I'll be home, whatever it means,
Whatever it means
And the night of all bleakness will disappear
Unfolding dawn in brightest of all sunrise shine
And light will downpour on lost souls…
Just like mine, just like mine
As seasons keep turning
Even in the faithless of all dusks
My heart will bloom in pure joyful whispers
And light will downpour on my soul
Just like the very first time, the very first time
I felt your breath running down
Running down all over my spine
All over again
All over again
All over again
All over again
And again
All over again
And again
I will be home, I will be home
Redeemed and free again
Redeemed and free again
Whatever it means
Nous sommes muets aux temps des amours
Nous sommes muets, muets
Nous sommes muets aux temps des amours
Nous sommes muets

Is to speak out about what was brought by the atomic bomb and war

We will never give up
Value your own life and others' lives
Make this world one at peace)
