心に篭るその傷は　色を失う景色の様
ぼくらの見ているその色は　音もなく崩れていく

見渡す事も出来ずに
地に張り付いて　飲み込んでいく
ぼくらの見てるその艶は　意味はなく　ただ死ぬ

If I can feel your warmth

I have no reason to be in doubt

and I will accept any pain
and stain this sky red
As days start and the world ends
Grisaille is dead

日々変わらないもの　この世界の果てで
泣いて泣き止んで　僕らの涙　今色褪せ
腐りきったこの地を抱いた　ぼくらの意味を超えて
それでもぼくらは闇と生きよう

the closer you try to get,the farther away it goes
but even it’s dark
As days start and the world ends
Grisaille is dead

々変わらないもの　この世界の果てで
泣いて泣き止んで　僕らの涙　今色褪せ
日々変わりゆくもの　この世界の始まりを
君と歩きだす　さあ放て　手を伸ばして

見渡す事も出来ずに
地に張り付いて　飲み込んでいく
ぼくらの見てるその艶は　意味はなく

ただ

ただ死ぬ

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Cocklobin's song "Grisaille" speak to the pain and solitude that can come with the struggle of existence. The first stanza speaks of the wounds that reside inside us - they are like a colorless, dying landscape. The colors that we see around us crumble silently away. The second stanza speaks of feeling stuck, unable to look out into the world and taking in the shine of its glamour. The singer implies that the shimmer that we see lacks any real significance, it simply serves as our collective deathbed.

The chorus speaks of the singer's desire to feel the warmth of another person. They are willing to endure any amount of pain and will even stain the sky red. Grisaille itself is a French term for the muted gray colors of an overcast sky, and in this context, it represents the end of the world. The third verse speaks of the general immutability of the world itself, and the tears of the people in it as they slowly fade away. The fourth verse speaks of walking with someone, of forging ahead into the darkness with outstretched hands. The refrain repeats the idea that the world is dead, but even in its death, there is hope.

I have no reason to be in doubt
Then I will have no reason to doubt

and I will accept any pain
And I will accept any pain

and stain this sky red
And color this sky red

As days start and the world ends
As the days begin and the world ends
