イーカロスの夜

──玻璃の睛がきらり光る
電波塔からの眺めは奇麗すぎて
空になった胸さえも抉る
朝が来る

鴉の聲を子守歌に
ガラクタのぼくは微眠みはじめ
真っ逆さま夢を見るのだろう
ちょっとは期待してみた

太陽に希いを　才を、才を手に
Fight or flight oh baby
なら闘争か

失敗は挑んだと云う証
一回きりの生を煩うばかり
未来は届かぬ物語
痛いよ　つらいよ　痛いよ

玻璃の睛が溶けてゆくみたく
変化と普遍に戸惑う理性
泡になった影を消してゆく
やわらかく

捜しものは迷路の奥に
鏡の国は綻びだして
痣のまま游泳するのだろう
そっとバイバイを告げた

矮小な希いだ　愛を、愛を背に
Black or white oh baby
ただ焦燥

最高点に達したいよ　灰の街
Fight or flight oh baby
なら逃走か

後悔は抗って得た果実
熔解のうえカタストロフィに散る
将来は涯てのない白地図
やがて暗い夜が来て

ぼくは黒い翼を翻す
だれも辿りつかないほど高く
月が照らす景色は仄淡く
波の音に孤独がさらわれるみたいだ

失敗は挑んだと云う証
一回きりの生を煩うばかり
未来は届かぬ物語
痛いよ　つらいよ　痛いよ

ほんとうは碧天を滑空してみたかった
恍惚に焦がれ白い翼で旋回する
残像さえ消える　眩さを遺したら
いまは忘却に泣くことしかできない──

English translation

─Then my glass-made eyes brightly glisten
The scenery from this tower is beautiful, listen
That it'll tear my heart into two
The morning comes too

The crows are singing me some lullabies
And I, how uselessly, will close my eyes
Diving through the day, I'll have another dream
If I went to the extreme

Wish I may, wish I might
On the sun, would I shine bright
Fight or flight, which to choose
Do I have to fight?

Failure is a stepping stone, said somebody
One life gives so much that it always troubles me
Unable to catch it however hard I'm struggling
It's frightful, so plightful, so painful

Feels like my glass-made eyes are going to melt away
In between what changes and what is the same
These shadows, all gone, fragile and faint
O, what a shame

If my losts are all hidden in the labyrinth
This castle is going to break again
And my bruises are going to start floating, can't rinse
Said bye bye, yet silent

Wish I may, wish I might
On the sun, would I shine bright
Black or white oh baby
Lotta to go

Wanting to reach that height
If there's something I'll lose
Fight or flight, which to choose
Do I take a flight?

Regrets are some fruits you get when you resist something
Secrets kept are, like a catastrophe, going to be ruined
Reading a map will allow you to find the right way, let alone the white one
And another dark night comes

Not wanting
To show my wings, to nobody including you
Except for the one that held me in the arms, someone like you
My wings are as black as the night, yet the moon is shining bright
The ocean waves splash, gonna crash my solitude and fright

Failure is a stepping stone, said somebody
One life gives so much that it always troubles me
Unable to catch it however hard I'm struggling
It's frightful, so plightful, so painful

The truth is I
Longed to fly high, like everyone else does
With these wings, low is okay, anyway, only me not a buzz
All I see, saw, and the way I'm seen is to be left alone
My eyes are crying all the time but because you are gone─
