CREEPTAL - (Vaporwaved) S A K U R A Y U 桜湯 // H I G A N B A N A 彼岸花

[INTRO BY B34T] Okay, motherfuckers, we're rolling [SOFT MELODIC SWAN LAKE START] Autumn came, and summer flew Winter stayed, but so did you I saw your face upon my screen And nothing stayed the way it seemed Sakurayu.... SAKURAYU! [VERSE 1] November thirteenth, six thirty-five Red wine glowing, still alive The room went cyan, then turned red Your photograph stayed in my head I took the pills, I killed the light But your memory stayed all night I heard your voice, I saw your eyes I took one step beneath the skies! [PAUSE] One step. One fall. One concrete floor. And suddenly... I couldn't walk anymore. [CHORUS — LUDWIG, DRY / MELANCHOLIC] I WISH MY HEART WAS A 3310 DROP IT FROM THE ROOF — IT RINGS AGAIN NO CRACKS, NO TEARS, NO NEED TO MEND JUST CHARGE IT UP AND SEND IT AGAIN I WISH MY HEART WAS A 3310 LOVE COULD BREAK IT — BUT IT NEVER DID IF ONLY FEELINGS HAD A NOKIA CASE I'D DROP YOU TOO AND KEEP MY FACE [VERSE 2] I woke beneath fluorescent white Two useless legs, one endless night The doctor said I'd never stand I looked down at my deadweight hands They gave me wheels, they gave me time They gave me words I couldn't rhyme My body stopped beneath the sky My heart, unfortunately, stayed alive [CHORUS] I WISH MY HEART WAS A 3310 DROP IT FROM THE ROOF — IT RINGS AGAIN NO CRACKS, NO TEARS, NO NEED TO MEND JUST CHARGE IT UP AND SEND IT AGAIN I WISH MY HEART WAS A 3310 LOVE COULD BREAK IT — BUT IT NEVER DID IF ONLY FEELINGS HAD A NOKIA CASE I'D DROP YOU TOO AND KEEP MY FACE [REWIND — STATIC] May '96, the morning air Wind in my face, I didn't care Walkman screaming, streets went by One forty beats beneath the sky I HAD TWO LEGS, I HAD MY YOUTH I HAD NO IDEA WHAT LOVE WOULD DO I RODE THOSE STREETS, I FELT BRAND NEW THEN SUMMER CAME... And so did you! [VERSE 3 — MEMORY] Now every road still leads to you Every old song still sounds brand new My body stays where I was thrown But somehow you still feel like home I can't go back I can't move on I can't explain Why you're still gone [FINAL CHORUS — BIGGER, BUT STILL RESTRAINED] I WISH MY HEART WAS A 3310 DROP IT FROM THE ROOF — IT RINGS AGAIN NO CRACKS, NO TEARS, NO NEED TO MEND NO STUPID LOVE TO BREAK IT AGAIN I WISH MY HEART WAS A 3310 INDESTRUCTIBLE — THAT'S ALL I NEED MY LEGS GAVE UP, MY HEART REFUSED AND GUESS WHO'S STILL OBSESSED WITH YOU? [OUTRO — LOW PIANO / VHS STATIC] Sakurayu.... Sakurayu... SAKURAYU! 桜湯... 話すには遅すぎますか？ I'm still obsessed ... I still think of you .... Is it too late to speak? ... Probably. I still think of you. [SWAN LAKE MUSIC FADES INTO TAPE HISS] [HIGANBANA — SPOKEN WORD / DREAMLIKE CODA] 𝙵AST 𝙵𝙾𝚁𝚆𝙰𝚁𝙳 >> P𝙼 04:32 MAR. 24 𝟸𝟶34 She rose into the sky, a scar without a wound. She lay upon the sand, and roads came pouring from her fingers. The past no longer burned. It no longer ached. It simply waited there, while the future carried all its promises and debts. And she kept repeating to everything that had already passed: “Don't look ahead. Don't look behind. Tomorrow will haunt you. Yesterday will make you its slave.” So she made the railway into a road. She made the present into a light. No longer trapped inside the ritual, inside the sacrifice, inside the footsteps of a hunted wanderer. And when the night wind came again, cold and silent, with her chest still overflowing with everything she missed, one day she would understand: The future was absent. The past was absent. To be alive, to be falling apart, to be happy somehow, was, after all, our eternal present. 話すには遅すぎる Ah, how I will miss the summer. C'est la vie, the seasons come and go. Winter is already holding my heart. And here, I bury you inside this song. [LONG SILENCE] [VERY SOFT PIANO] [WHISPERED] Sakurayu... 桜湯...
