The time jewels were born
Before I had noticed, jewels had bloomed in my heartResembling a small geode
They become bigger as I think of that person
At this rate, they will fill me up, and I might get caught
Yet, I don't want to become a liar
The truth is I want you to find them first than anyone else
Even more than words, that beauty is like that of the light from a modest sun
The colored days gently let me know
Surely, gems are born this way
Without me being aware, even time had been colored
I wonder, why did I spend it that way?
Our natural conversations and exchanges, they made me almost surprisingly awkward
Acting like nothing happened, I joked
The loose stone that reflects your smile, I want to gaze at it
If the jewel that was born was dropped into the sky
It would become a twinkling first magnitude star in the winter sky
Illuminating the night, as soon as it shined it turned the whole world into a jewel box
The trapped lights become merry
I can't go back to how it was before I noticed
I wonder if jewels will bloom in your chest someday...
Even more than words, that beauty is like that of the light from a modest sun
The colored days gently let me know
Surely, gems are constantly being born
Jewel in the crown

Lying Moon
Hey moon1Please look over here for a moment
Apparently it's a horrible sight
I'll give you a strong lie
Surely it will work well
The moon deceives with a sweet voice
As I was prompted
I pushed it deep into my throat
That one, round-shaped lie
Lying moon
I need a stronger medicine
Hey moon
Please listen to me for a moment
These days you seem so melancholic
Please be stronger than this
I ask you with a dry voice
Because if it's like this
I can't forget
I can't sleep
Lying moon
Liar, you're a liar
Liar, liar2
(Liar)
Today as well, as I was prompted
I pushed it deep into my throat
That one, round-shaped lie
I already know
That this is just ordinary candy
Hey moon
- 1. 'さま/sama' is an honorific used for someone you respect or someone who has seniority over you. Basically in this context she is talking to the moon as if it is a person. There is no decent translation for it in English, so I just left it as 'moon' even though it could also be something more personified like 'Mr. Moon'.
- 2. The title of the song '嘘月/usotsuki' is a pun. It is composed of the kanji for 'lie' (嘘) and 'moon' (月) which is pronounced just like '嘘吐き/うそつき/usotsuki' meaning 'liar'.

snowglobe
I've been nurturing the cowardice inside of me the best I couldI'm swimming in an ocean of glycerin
and dreaming inside a globe
Make the piled-up snow fall again,
I'll show you a different dream each time
As it's melting, as it's melting,
it resonates little by little
This perfectly clear soda-lime glass
makes everything visible
As it's breaking, as it's mending,
as if hurrying me up,
a jumble of emotions stretches to create a dome
During stormy weather at the ocean of glycerin
snow hits like lightning
If you turn upside down the naked love that's hiding in the shadows,
you can see right through it
As [the globe] is exposed to broad daylight,
it crumbles slowly
As it stirs, as it stirs,
I run away so as not to drown
Reason and meaning are just
dirt that slides down the surface
A jumble of emotions creates a dome that shuts me in
As it's melting, as it's melting,
it resonates little by little
This perfectly clear soda-lime glass
makes everything visible
As it's breaking, as it's mending,
as if hurrying me up,
a jumble of emotions stretches to create a dome

Superhero
You were a superheroYou had all kinds of aspirations
No matter what kind of monster appeared
You would surely win
Even going to the moon would be simple for you
My hardships were your 'easy mode'
My superhero
You were everything to me
My superhero
Only you are immortal
You don't have a name
So I'll let you share mine
No matter what kind of world map
You could fly right across it
My superhero
I wonder where you went
You are a superhero
A hero covered in dust
My superhero
You were everything to me
However, you can't move
I miss you, my hero
Only you are immortal

Clouds in the Water
At the edge of the waterI'm dipping in my pale slender legs
As the clouds swirl up like a tide
We're being drawn into a spiral
The last time nobody has noticed
Will visit upon us sooner or later
No one won't be able to see
The transparent scenery any longer
I close my eyes while sighing
My heart is empty just like before
Wondering why we are still alive
We will find the answer
The black feathers covered in cuts
We rent off and threw them away
Now that nothing's surely left of us
They give us a praise and take us down
I have faith in nothing
No matter what they tell me
Because in just a couple of days
I will be freed from everything
.
I've always been looking for something
But nothing has been left behind after all
My fragile and hoarse voice
Whose name is it calling out?
Throwing out everything that belongs to me
I want to just slip away somewhere far away
I'm trying to reach out for the red moon
Floating in the water's surface
In the world crumbling away
The land is rifted and people are burning up
I once was an angel
But now I'm standing in the same place
All my dearest memories
Let them fade and go to nothing
With my tears, the clouds in the sky
Are being soaked up into a spiral
