Natsushiro Takaaki - Parallellalla [English Translation]

 Parallellalla


Surely    We've reached the age    At which we want miraculous things to happen
We've always   Wanted a world   Where the impossible was possible

No "this"    No "that"    Nothing but absurd accidents and mistakes
Can you fix them? You can't!
We line up all the beautiful things in the world 
And if we continue to, they will all be connected one day  That's the right answer

With tame wings we fly

Fly High, we keep dancing high up in the sky everyday
What we longed for
Is a swaying Parallellalla*

It's been clear from the start that everyone is going to notice it
The aimlessly wandering Parallellalla
Which you can trace with your fingertips
Since it's just beyond one's own boundaries

It's not "this"    Nor "that"    Nor just any spot-the-difference game
Forget about the meanings that are forced onto theories
What do you want to do from now on?
Now that you laid hands upon the lock on my heart 

Together we skip over the boring nights
Stand by me, stand by my side like a satellite in its orbit
I stopped searching for it, though
The gently swaying Parallellalla

You put on an understanding look, but you're actually confused
Yesterday, too, you continued to recoil without ever being successful
You thought these moments were precious
In other words, this is also a Parallellalla

If the gap between ideal and reality
Was destined to widen
Draw a line and connect them again
If what you desire is the Parallellalla!

It's been clear from the start that everyone is noticing
That I'm the one beckoning
With a foolish look on my face
Just beyond my own boundaries

Surely    We've reached the age    At which we want miraculous things to happen
We've always    Wanted a self    That could make the impossible possible



*As Natsushiro explained, "Parallellalla" is used to describe the difference between yourself on weekdays and the weekend, for example. You might act different on the weekend since you're under less pressure, so it almost seems like a different personality of yours. Both of these personalities are parallel parts of you.
