「Afterglow」

Yorushika - Deep Indigo (MUSIC VIDEO) 

The scenery doesn’t change; on a faded afternoon I’m lying in the deep indigo beneath the overpass I hear a single clap for my blank-page life I was singing about my own emptiness today, as usual

So things wouldn’t change, I wrote a story starring you in my notebook My gas and water being cut off, society, and the news are all someone else’s problem Look, my life is like ink

The dream I had when I was young gets closer to its expiration date as I get older

Though I just, I just look up at the clouds As usual, they flow through my field of vision In the distant night sky I looked up at, flowers swam So many that it could be mistaken for spring As if I’d just lost sight of you

I looked down so I wouldn’t trip Life is made of nothing but compromises I don’t believe in hearts or fate or love songs or life After all, if you can’t sell something it has no value

I intentionally discarded the present I dreamed of, and now I’m lying here waiting for its expiration date

Behind my eyelids, I just, I just saw An imagined, distant vision of you In my notebook, flowers swim in the corner of a faded night One more is in my eye

Life is just one compromise after another I learned that pretty fast Elma, it’s you You alone are my music

There are only eighty more characters in this song Because maybe the only value of a life is in they way it ends

I just, I just picture you As even the indigo filling my vision is blurred In the distant sky I looked up at, flowers swam Deep indigo covers my eyes

Yorushika - That's Why I Gave Up on Music (MUSIC VIDEO)

I’ve thought about it, but I still don’t understand Under the blue sky, I waited for you On that breezy afternoon, my imagination escaped the confines of the day Hey, where do I go from here? No one has told me how to proceed I looked into your eyes and without a word I walked away

I’ve thought about it, but I still don’t understand Youth is so boring I tried to give up piano, but I can’t break the habit of playing on my desk[*] Hey, what will I do in the future? It shouldn’t be music, right? Don’t worry

Even if I plucked a single string in my heart No matter what I did, it wouldn’t disappear, even now, so Hey, I still remember

I’m mistaken I don’t understand, I don’t care About all you humans or the truth or love or the world or pain or life Wanting to know what’s right or wrong is just a self-preservation instinct It’s your fault that I thought that

I’ve thought about it, but I still don’t understand why I truly don’t want to get older Just thinking “Someday I’m going to die” makes my chest feel hollow “What will I do in the future?” When I grew up I understood That I’m not going to do anything at all

How do I explain why I hate people who put on happy faces? It’s an inferiority complex haunting my unsatisfied mind like a ghost

I’m not mistaken Hey, with all your differences, you all are human When you don’t have love or salvation or kindness or a foundation, it feels bad Feeling pain at something like a love song is a self-preservation instinct Do I really not care? It’s your fault

I’ve thought about it, but I still don’t understand Why just living is painful Why you can’t make a living from something like music I don’t care if the lyrics or whatever are lazily done I don’t care about anything

I’m probably not mistaken I’m sure I’m not mistaken

I’m mistaken, I understand I don’t care About all you humans or the truth or love or salvation or kindness or life Not being able to give the right answer is a self-preservation instinct I don’t care, it’s your fault

Even I had faith in something once Now the feeling is nothing but garbage I wrote to you so many times I didn’t care about whether I’d be rich and famous It’s true, it’s really true, that’s how it was back then

That’s why I gave up on music
