VACANT [English translation]

[Even] as we’re tangled around each other

I understand

That it can never go back [to how it was]

What do you think?

The answer is discolored by my self-condemnation

I’ve lost sight of [our] perfect world

That trick of my unconscious mind

Prevents me from even dreaming

The setting sun brings to mind the “parting” that will happen one day

The cherry blossoms simply flutter amidst the sound of my never-ending tears

Their fleeting life will fade as the days pass by, and my grief continues to grow

Even now it won’t leave me

Just don’t forget

That the end will certainly be just like that day

[Even] as we’re tangled around each other

I understand

That it can never go back [to how it was]

On that wall of indifference [between us] that seems as if it could one day crumble away

[I pin] the end and all my broken dreams

In the misery of being unable to reconnect our threads now untied,

Time begins to pile up on itself, stopped dead in its tracks

The cherry blossoms merely flutter

I can’t escape that day

It’s as if you’re vacant, and you’re withering

I count the wishes you left me with

I grieve that I can’t change the way things are now

And remember

What I lost on that day
