I will still light up the flame in my chest today

Translation credit Tackmyn Y.

On this darkened night, my words are ready to burn

They repeat again, it’s endless—weighing on my mind ‘til I’m burnt

My mistakes and failures, I can’t conform or return

So with resin, I’ll paint over—and restart

I find I’m running recklessly to somewhere unknown

Still hoping I’m not alone

Hey! Hold it, hear: “Seeking an escape doesn’t lead anywhere!”

You scolded a child sinking…

Your voice resounded disheartening…

He dreamed a city, floating innocently

If I can love this shattered fantasy, then…

Would I be able to love the reality?

I’ve longed for the day I could accept it all

Through my struggle, I keep bluffing—unable to reach the end

Haven! O’Haven! Where are you hiding I wonder?

I yearn to embrace all the hopes buried deep inside memories, you hear?

Don’t you fear, laugh along, Meili!

Because the world would be dull without you too

Somewhere reality and reason created a flame

I’ll toss out the righteous truth so the rain of fiction falls

So don’t let go, I’ll stay singing (So don’t let go, I’ll stay singing)

I’m entrusting my future to the days where I can know both vividly

And then things wither in this hollow room

I find I’m tracing the classics breathing in a mellow gloom

‘There’s meaning in the meaningless things’

‘Misfortune brings along fortune”

So keep believing those empty words?

You don’t really seem to learn…

Again, I’m running recklessly to somewhere unknown

Nonsense words conveyed through goals

Hey! Hold it, hear: “Go home! Freedom is merely shiny fool’s gold!”

Were the day to come we’d lose our voices in the winds,

Could we still stand together with our wishes?

“It’s all fine, it’ll be alright, believe me”

And though you said, ‘It’ll be alright’

You’re still hurting in eternity, what do you keep protecting?

I wanna love this shattered fantasy, and…

I wanna love the reality I couldn’t before

But on the nights when the worst hits you and me

I’ll stay by your side, help clear your mind, my dear friend

Haven! O’Haven! I can tell you’re surely here!

I embrace all the reasons the world could ever throw at me

Don’t you fear, laugh along, Meili!

Because the world would be dull without you too

Somewhere reality and reason created a flame

I’ll toss out the righteous truth so the rain of fiction falls

Even if it’s so reckless, even if it’s merely a dream

I will stay believing!

Haven! Whoa! I can tell you’re surely here! (Whoa!)

I’ll still love you—even if you stay a dream!

A light is lit in this hollow room

And now, I’m tracing the moments I’m living

Haven! Whoa! I know you’ll surely find me! (Whoa!)

This heartbeat belongs to me!

I won’t let go, I’ll keep singing (I won’t let go, I’ll keep singing)

These days where I can know both vividly

So I’ll stay living,

Yeah!

Commission for @ruidrones

(Great job!)

Yeah Yeah Yeah

In a body living highly,

Living whole from head to toe

I won’t relive those days—it’s used, it’s used

‘Til I tire from exhaustion

Living with imagination up high

Standing at the peak where reason and

Truth await, making

Every fragment of life—I won’t let spill out now

Maybe I won’t awaken with open eyes

Oh well, I know—I can retry tens and thousands of times

Towards uncertainty, my eyes meet

The dazzling future, trading my body to reach

I don’t know nor do I see the beauty you find

Though I want to understand if you don’t mind

The stars are distant on the horizon line

And even as regret coils, you’re beside me

Allowing me to walk with certainty—towards the future (whoa-oh-ah!)

Ah! An unexpected blackout

But the stage is still right? No—magic spills out!

“Well, it wasn’t me!”

Even as contraptions unused are picked out

I’ll keep living, flowing through time

Ah! Something’s happening now

And yet only ordinary words come to mind

The part I played was snatched away,

I felt a cold chill—like a ghost was watching me from afar

Couldn’t ripen my ideas colors

And it makes me want to cry in deep sorrow

I have found the light, and I can erase it

The darkness and hollowness can dissipate

Towards tomorrow, I see that distant place

Joining the parts of my burnt out body

I feel ready for the cold to warm with the stars

Please don’t forget the trail you’ve walked, nothing can ever change

The bond we’ve forged and joined together by fate

See? Watch the light lower, applause will ring out

And yet still, where to go? I don’t know where my next step will lead from here

In living my life, where pain remains

I don’t believe in dying or living alone

I’m content carrying half the burden we hold

Though the choice is hard and transparent we are

I’d still like to reach out (Great job!)

I don’t know nor do I see the beauty you find

Though I want to understand if you don’t mind

The stars are distant on the horizon line

And even as regret coils, you’re beside me

Allowing me to walk with certainty—towards the future

I won’t give up, no matter what!
