Ephemeral Night
I want to save the present from being damaged Until the sun is rising
I have to avert my eyes From this sense of anxiety And the gossip I never learn my lessons, huh
Simple words are alright To fill this void
But now it's about to flow over That's why, now
In tonight's dreams I want you to smile
In this hazy scenery Sink into the returning memories and the silence of the night
A sigh exposing the memories of last night My baby walking between dreams and reality
You tied your shoelaces again at midnight And your cheeks wettened Born again
I'm waiting for the burning in my chest It's a strategy I won't be indebted to my destiny
I'm fine with you whom I met by chance That's just how it is Born again
Dripping beats And a cloudy sky
Like a scolding night breeze On the day where the ashes of cigarettes rose
Tomorrow is waiting for us It's a dream that was already far away in the blink of an eye
Advise yourself Bluffing it's "for today's sake"
An endless void to be filled with romance held in one hand*
It's only empty talk I roll up On a tedium merry-go-round
This clownery will end at night, too
At Friday night I'll keep on a light that'll watch over you throughout the night
I have neither scent nor shape Just follow me It's gonna be alright
People who ponder Are ephemeral at night Are you ready?
You should already know the answer
A sigh exposing the memories of last night My baby walking between dreams and reality
You tied your shoelaces again at midnight And your cheeks wettened Born again
I'm waiting for the burning in my chest It's a strategy I won't be indebted to my destiny
I'm fine with you whom I met by chance That's just how it is Born again
Their night My night The badger's** night
All our miracles are fueling the fire in the same way
I can see a magnificent drama playing behind my narrowed eyelids
Including everyone and no one in this ordinary city
A sigh exposing the memories of last night My baby walking between dreams and reality
When you you tied your shoelaces again at midnight And your cheeks wettened [mon] Born again
I'm waiting for the burning in my chest It's a strategy I won't be indebted to my destiny
I'm fine with you whom I met by chance That's just how it is Born again

**ムジナ literally translates to badger, which is an animal, but in Japanese folklore a ムジナ is also a shape-shifter known for singing and shape-shifting into other humans
