Nocturnal Bloodlust Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where were you gone, dear? You never answer my word.
The sudden messages from you flew away to horizon.
This last seed on my hand brings life back on the earth instead of you.
Why are you standing there?
This tragedy has been condemned.
Carrying the burden on me...
Who knows which choices must be chosen?
命を吹き込んで破綻した景色を土へ還そう
ひび割れた隙間から零れた光抱いて空を照らせ
届かない哀しい過去も今は水へ還り時を超え
最後だけは見届けてね Please pray... she said.
命を吹き込んで破綻した景色を土へ還そう
ひび割れた隙間から零れた光抱いて空を照らせ
果てしない旅 どこまでも続く棘の道は険しく痛く
I'm falling... I'm fading...
but I don't want to give up anymore without pain and fault.
鏡に映った偽りの顔を叫び割って取り戻そう
go forward... go forward... just trace the way with a light.
I stuck in destructive phase...
the way I've been taking is now shut out.
Can you hear my voice?
My eyes have lost sight since that day burns the truth.
what do you see?
Let me feel your face... let me feel now...
It has changed nothing... same as I've loved...
And so this sky falls...
The distance from heaven is little bit further just like living in dream.
Whispering of her voice has been same since the flame of candle
disappeared upon the head.
Break this wall.
Selfishness made words you said.
You can't tell me what you wanna say.
Face me, touch me, and say with me forever.
As sorrow night just keeps me away from complexes.
Stay with me...
