Falling Petals
Lyrics: Arimura Ryutaro
Composition: Hasegawa Tadashi
Arrangement: Plastic Tree
Bereft of feeling how appropriate, that I’ll try a song, this
A gradation as though I’m struggling on to the furthest reaches, dawn now breaks
How many thousands of times have I felt like this? even self-enlightenment is pitiful
But today is no, but today is also and again, tomorrow will also be like this
There are choices before my eyes I choose self-interested sentiments
It is not right or wrong it will simply pass by every day
The falling, scattering flowers are completely bloomed, where does the wind carry my heart away to?
Chasing memory and forgetting difficulty a vivid mess only I can burst
As the slightly off second hand of the clock advances, I unexpectedly realize I slept for two or three minutes
Absent-mindedly existence slips away disappearing sensation do you understand?
Forgetting the conclusion, logic* both fate and self-criticism, clean up*
Is this necessary or unnecessary questioning every day
The season loses self-control transient words in the wind wont stop rustling
Happy sadness I wonder if it is without end while bustling, the dream’s nightly rain closes
Hey, why wont someone stay by my side forever
If it were like that, even these foolish moves would have some meaning
Hey, wont you please feel free to dance as you like
Already, however, we’re out of time the stage lights go out hollowness
The falling, scattering flowers are completely bloomed, where does the wind carry my heart away to?
Chasing memory and forgetting difficulty it’s so vivid, but who might you be?
In the end, knowing the painted sky can’t be touched goodbye, someday
Falling into the world
*I almost want to say this could be an English play on words, in which logic is pronounced like lonely and clean up is pronounced like joker…but Ryutaro doesn’t usually play with English, so I could be hallucinating it, but feel free to mentally insert as you wish
