Embrace
青山しおり Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let her veil soothe your soul
Embrace your darkness
Let her magic free your mind
Embrace the night
Let her darkness seep your vein
Embrace the night, my child
Let her twilight hide your pain
No one is going to love, no how
Only the darkness
Only the nighttime
You can’t run away from your shadow
No one is going to save you, no how
Only the darkness
Only the nighttime
You can rut away in your sorrow
Embrace yourself
Thank the sun for its burning rays
Embrace yourself
Thank the sky for its glorious grace
Embrace the night
Let her darkness be your light
Embrace the night, my child
Let her soul be your guide
