CHILD Lyrics

=== Romanji ===

kuroi k**o ga hebi no you ni unetteiru
sora no s***a de boku ha mezameteita
shi ni taeta arechi no ue de
damatta mama hiza wo kakae yami wo misueteita
kono mama hikari mo sasazu ni ten ha boku ni
nani wo subeki da to iu no darou

nagasugita yoru ha aketeiku asa ha
yagate fumidasu beki michi wo utsushidasu

ashita mo nanimo kawarazu ni aruiteyuku dake datta to s**** mo

boku ha haha naru umi no soko he to ha
modori ha shinai yo kimi ga mada konai kara
ude ni tsukisasaru kaze wo ukete ikinobiteiku yo
kono hoshi ga kuchihateru made

ashita mo nanimo kawarazu ni yume miteiru dake datta to s**** mo

boku ha haha naru umi no soko he to ha
modori ha shinai yo kimi ga mada konai kara
ude ni tsukisasaru kaze wo ukete ikinobiteiku yo
kono hoshi ga kuchihateru made
tsuyoku hibike boku no utagoe yo
ikiba wo nakushita kimi no moto, todoku you ni
soshite mata atarashii inochi wo umiotoshiteite
kono hoshi ga akirameru made

=== English ===

I awoke under a sky of black clouds winding like snakes.
on the lifeless wasteland, I cradled myself, silent, staring off into the darkness

with no light to guide me, what is it that heaven wants of me?

the morning given way to by the long night at last projects a path for me to step onto.
even if tomorrow as I tread onward nothing changes

I won't return to the bottom of my mother the sea, because you haven't come yet. feeling the piercing wind on my arms, i'm going to live on
until this planet dies out.

even if tomorrow as I dream nothing changes.

I won't return to the bottom of my mother the sea, because you haven't come yet.
feeling the piercing wind on my arms, i'm going to live on
until this planet dies out.

I'll sing loudly and resonate, in hopes that it reaches you, who no longer has a place on this world.
and then once more you'll bear a new life
until this world gives up.

Translator's Notes: I think this song most succinctly expresses what the album Finale is about. The seperation of two halves of a whole, the male (Adam) and female (Eve). The repetitive nature of humanity, is like a vast wasteland, that we wander. The fact that the lyrics say "you'll once more bear a new life, until this planet gives up" seems to express that more or less the cycle will just keep going on rather pointlessly, until the world can't sustain it any longer.
