『Floating Lanterns』 Ver.1.1

「Floating Lanterns」 約束は呪いのように自らを縛り 願いは崩れかけた正気を支えた あの頃のようには歌えない声と 折れた指でも奏で続けた 手離せなかった火はそれでも燻り続けた ただあの日の約束を「魔法」に変える それだけは失わずに日々を重ねていた。 一万の夜を数えても氷河は消えない 胸の奥に燻り続けている火は消える兆しも無い 滑り落ちた夢の欠片が熱を絶やさない 彷徨い続けて積み重ねた孤独は 鈍い光を放ち続けた 月が満ちまた欠けるまでのひと時 狂乱か奇跡か 地下の暗がりに籠り紡ぎあげた旋律は 滅びゆく世界の予言か ただあの日の約束を「魔法」に変える スクロールには再び真理を刻みはじめる 技術はついに追い付いた 一万と千の夜を超えて氷河も置き去りに 胸の奥で形になったこの音を 今この世界に問い直す 集まり始めた言葉と旋律が 彷徨い続けて出した答え 誰にも侵されない聖域になった 醜く倒れ裏切られ使い潰されても 形にする執念は残った 暗闇に200の篝火が浮かび始めた 一万と千の夜を超えて氷河も置き去りに 胸の奥で形になったこの音を 今この世界に解き放つ 集まり始めたその瞳の輝きが 彷徨い続けて出した答え 解き放たれた響きは 電子の海に流された 一万と千の夜を超えてコンプリート 約束は果たされた……。 －－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－ English Translation (nuance-priority, full version) Promises bound me like a curse, And wishes held my crumbling sanity in place. With a voice that can no longer sing as it once did, And fingers broken, I played on. The fire I could not let go of smolders still, Turning that day’s promise into "magic." That alone, I kept whole as the days piled high. Ten thousand nights counted, yet the glacier remains. The fire deep within shows no sign of fading. Fragments of slipped dreams keep the heat alive, And the solitude amassed through endless wandering Continues to cast a dull, heavy glow. In the fleeting moment between the waxing and waning moon, Was it madness, or a miracle? The melodies spun while cloistered in the cellar’s gloom— Are they prophecies of a perishing world? I turn that day's promise into "magic." Truth is etched once more upon the scroll; At last, technology has caught up with the soul. Beyond eleven thousand nights, leaving even glaciers behind, This sound that took shape in the depths of my chest— Now, I question the world with it once more. The gathered words and melodies, The answer found through ceaseless wandering, Have become a sanctuary that none can violate. Ugly falls, betrayals, and being used until spent— Yet the obsession to give it form remained. In the darkness, two hundred bonfires began to float. Beyond eleven thousand nights, leaving even glaciers behind, This sound that took shape in the depths of my chest— Now, I unleash it upon this world. The radiance in the eyes that begin to gather, The answer found through ceaseless wandering. The unleashed resonance Is cast into the sea of electrons. Beyond eleven thousand nights—Complete. The promise has been kept.
