“AaAaAaAAaAaAAa” by Nashimoto

Singable Translyrics:

There is me, and there’s you
It’s only us two

Darkness is drawing near
Where should we go from here? 

Sadness rips my soul apart and I feel like I could die
My cries of pain echo into the night and fill the starry sky 

AaAaAaAAaAaAAa (x4)

The world is expanding
What do you want me to sing?

Sorrow fills up my whole body and flows out of my eyes
I only cling tighter as the warmth of your hand slowly dies 

AaAaAaAAaAaAAa (x3)
AaAaAaAA-A-AAa

A-A-AAa

Sadness rips my soul apart and I feel like I could die
My cries of pain echo into the night and fill the starry sky

Sorrow fills up my whole body and flows out of my eyes
I hold your hand as the last echo of your voice slowly dies

AaAaAaAAaAaAAa (x6)
AaAaAaAA-A-AAa

“Mikansei Ningen” (aka “Incomplete Human”) by YM

Singable Translyrics:
(note: this song’s sort of a different style than most, so I didn’t feel the need to rhyme the lyrics. sorry if you find that unsatisfactory.) 

“Complete humans are such a bore, aren’t they?”
What’s that? Don’t make me laugh
Have you ever really seen one? 
Though I’m not sure how to,
I want to be a completed person 

Every time I look I find another missing piece
I desperately wish for it, but don’t get it
And I lament that fact - I’m a greedy human
I am an incomplete human. 

I don’t understand any of the feelings that you have
I can never figure out any of your feelings
It’s like I’m digging away without any aim,
Trying to find your heart 

I don’t understand any of the feelings that you have
I cannot figure out any of your feelings
I need a missing part to help me understand
I am an incomplete human 

I don’t have enough, I don’t have enough,
I don’t have enough - not yet, not yet
But how can, but how can,
But how can I ever be satisfied? 

It’s still not enough, it’s still not enough,
Is it not enough still? oh no, oh no
“This is how, this is how
You can be fixed” – that is all that I want to be told

“Dark Woods Circus” (aka “Kurai Mori no Circus”) by Machigerita

Singable Translyrics:

Deep in the heart, of the midnight forest
There in the dark, is a dreamlike circus
Somebody calls, a voice from high above
Ten meters tall, like something you once dreamed of 

All of the cast, seems so cheerful and bright
Their looks contrast, as if they crawled from the night
But even so, it’s too fun to make a fuss
Come now, let’s go – to the Dark Woods Circus! 

A frightening two-headed monster
A twisted and deformed singing siren
A terrifying blue beast who prefers
His food cold before it’s eaten 

This isn’t what we, ever wanted to be – our forms aren’t some sort of fun disguise
Why are you staring? It is so uncaring for you to look at us with such rotten eyes 

“Life is a nightmare, it’s always unfair, and you can’t ever hope to improve your luck”
She said this to me – and it’s truth, it seems – ‘cause the show goes on and it will never stop

This is so much fun, this is so much fun, this circus is always a wonderful time
Our skin festering, our faces rotting – can’t you see the joy behind our melting eyes?

I just want to die, all I want is to die, so maybe I could get away from here
But someone told me, that can never be – the torture is infinite, that much is clear

“Yumekui Shirokuro Baku” (aka “Monochrome Dream Eater” or “Dream Eater Shirokuro Baku”) by Nem

Singable Translyrics:

No one knows where I come from
What I look like, who I am, or what I’ve done
Unknowing, the whole world serves
The most delicious meals to the monochrome dream eater 

Now, now, young lady
Can’t you sleep at night and dream peacefully?
If you have insomnia,
I can cast a magic spell to fix you up 

Give me your hand, come on, let’s make a pinky promise

If you’re having a scary dream, you can leave it all up to me
I will eat it up so you can go to sleep
There’s no more reason to worry; relax now and count some sheep
No more nightmares, forget all your uncertainties 

Now, now, young lady
Do you have yet another request for me?
I will never let you down
I love my job and you’ll never see me frown 

Come on over here now, let’s seal this deal with a kiss

If you want to have more sweet dreams, you can leave it all up to me
I will give you everything that you need
Milk-and-sugar-covered stories – sickening sweet, they’ll rot your teeth
But fill on up, both of us now can have a feast 

More and more now – come on, let it out
Tell me all the things you can’t do without
You can climb all you want – you’ll never make it out
This bottomless paradise is all that you’ve dreamed about 

So, when the full moon shines in the sky, it’s time for me to bid you goodbye
And now’s the moment that you have to pay the price
Those vivid dreams behind your eyes, those fantasies, that paradise
I’m taking it all back; you’ll have no more warm nights 

Your tears are so pathetic, sweetie; you’re at fault for this travesty
Didn’t you know what it was you asked of me?
If you’ve blinded yourself with dreams, you’ll never be able to see
So welcome back to monochrome reality

Notice

I was going to do a bunch of lyric-writing this wekend, but I just found out my parents and I are going away. I’m not sure whether or not I’ll have internet access, but hopefully I’ll have time to at least do a few songs to upload when I get back.

(on a semi-related note, I really don’t know how often you can expect this blog to update. I was just going to dump everything I have on it right away, but I feel like it would be better to slowly build it up. I don’t have as much time as I’d like to write new lyrics, and I wouldn’t want to suddenly stop updating once I run out of stuff I’ve already done. Don’t expect new lyrics daily; I’m aiming a few each week.)

“Suffocation” by Yuyoyuppe

Singable Translyrics:

If my life was a different kind of story
I wonder if I could have wound up happy
If you hadn’t shattered my soul completely
I wonder if words would have meant more to me

If it disappears
This face that’s hidden so many fears
Gentle words and sad smiles
Won’t be needed, ‘cause I’ll be free

I always felt that the fingers of pain
Would wrap around my throat and suffocate
Me - any breath could be my last
A lack of oxygen put my
Head into a spinning fog that I
Couldn’t escape - I would only suffocate

My life always felt like it held less meaning
Than the buzzing hum of the television
The answer that I had wished for for so long
Would stain this already bruised throat crimson

I will stop thinking and my brain will rot, so
I do not move - I do not need kind words
My emotions spin out of control

I will stop thinking and my brain will rot, so
I do not move - I do not need kind words
This pain will end no matter how far I must go

If it disappears
This face that’s hidden so many fears
Gentle words and sad smiles
Won’t be needed, ‘cause I’ll be free

I always felt that the fingers of pain
Would wrap around my throat and suffocate
Me - any breath could be my last
A lack of oxygen put my
Head into a spinning fog that I
Couldn’t escape - I would only suffocate

“Materiam” by Noisycell

Singable Translyrics:

I faintly remember the warmth of your gentle touch on my skin
But my mind is clouded by the tears I’m holding in
No matter how many times reality rears its ugly head
I can’t accept it, but the crying’s left me exhausted

Whenever the night and day meet, whenever I feel my heartbeat
Little by little, it’s becoming brittle, your image isn’t quite complete
That face so familiar to me, that voice that spoke so sweetly
I could always picture them in those days, but now they are escaping from me

Before my warm memories of then
Become frozen, become broken
Before you’re lost, no matter the cost
Won’t you melt the frost, and let me hear your voice again?

All my memories are buried away underneath all the lies
Your scent that always hung on me has gone from my mind
The warm and sweet image of you that I clung so desperately to
Suddenly faded – it’s cold and cannot be renewed

When you left, you took my heart with you

Before my warm memories of then
Become frozen, become broken
Before you’re lost, no matter the cost
Won’t you melt the frost, and let me hear your voice again?

All of the words, all of the tears and memories
And even the warmth of your skin
As I live on, they’re blown away by the breeze
You’re standing there waving your hand

With my wide open eyes
I search for you, but I cannot find
A familiar face, a familiar trace
What were you like back in those times?

I sing louder than I’ve ever been
“I will remember you until the end”
So my mind won’t stray, so that you won’t fade away
I just want to hear your voice again, hey
Won’t you let me hear your voice again?

“Karakuri Pierrot” by 40meter (40m)

Singable Translyrics:

I stand here and wait – you’re two hours late
I guess you just don’t care about me or our date

The people passing by, the very clouds and sky
Are laughing at the girl stupid enough to try

It’s an easy thing to do, but a difficult one too
Accepting the truth and moving from the past into the now
I cannot believe it; I don’t want to believe it
Inside your mind, I’m just a clown, and my act won’t please the crowd

 Ah, I’m spinning, I’m spinning, and I’m getting dizzy
Ah, I’m running, I’m running out of breath
Yeah, surely this won’t be the last that you see of me
I’ll keep reaching in vain for you until my death

 The Earth is unaware, pushing me here and there
Spinning me ‘round and ‘round, and it just isn’t fair

 For a second, time blurs – I’m at a loss for words
I’m still too in shock to realize I’ve been hurt

 It was a coincidence that was fated to happen
I wish I didn’t try to see if your feelings matched mine
I feel the warmth of your skin that used to make me glow within
But now that gentle touch, that sad smile – they’re driving the knife deeper inside

Ah, I’m spinning, I’m spinning, and I’m getting dizzy
Ah, I’m spinning, I’m spinning, and I’m getting dizzy
Ah, I’m running, I’m running, I’m running out of breath
Ah, I’m running, I’m running, I’m running out of breath

Ah, things are chang-, things are chang-, things are changing all around
Ah, I’m so scared of what it means for my heart
I’ve had enough; I can’t wait for you anymore now
Or I’ll surely shatter and fall apart

Ah, I’m spinning, I’m spinning, and I’m really sick of it
Ah, the air is sticking in my windpipe
Yeah, all I am is your faithful little broken puppet
I’ve always been yours to command, so do with me what you like

“Hope” by Yuyoyuppe

Singable Translyrics:

Where am I? It’s all black and white
I want you by my side again

Why don’t these tears and this pain ever seem to end?

In the deepest part of my heart
Brutal memories stab at me
My voice doesn’t reach you no matter how hard I scream

Always and forever, so happy we would be
That is what I had always believed
But then you disappeared and I lost all the light
That I needed to get through the night

I can still remember your smiling face
The tenderness that always made my heart race
I will treasure all of these memories
Keep them secure and safe inside of me

Pain fades in time, and I will live
There is always more love to give
Even if the future’s not bright
Even if it won’t have your light
I can still make it through the night

I can still remember your smiling face
The tenderness that always made my heart race
I will treasure all of these memories
Keep them secure and safe inside of me
