Shinkiro [Mirage]

Shinkirou [TK from Ling Tosite Sigure feat Chara]
Taken from Fantastic Magic (2014)

I gazed into an un-killable dream...
I'd kept stuffed in my pocket.
The sound of the rain brought it back to life, the emptiness left after that wound, grey.

Showing signs of escapism...
Showing signs of escapism...
Showing signs of escapism...
Showing signs of escapism...
Run, run, run, and try making contact.

Reflected in the words and sounds is what my monstrous self has lost;
The things I left behind inside you: words, heart, and solitude..
All as a melody.

A vague memory bursts, but no matter if this solitude is fulfilled, or led astray, by brushing with love.
We were seeing the same dream.

Imprinted on the film I lost was a linked illusion..two shadows.
 
Showing signs of escapism...
Showing signs of escapism...
Showing signs of escapism...
Showing signs of escapism...
Run, run, run, and try making contact.

I don't want to forget...but is my voice reaching you?
Listen to my music slowly...and feel the echo, echo, echo, echo...

Don't let go of my hand, and I'll show you.
An eternity that rattles your eardrum..will never betray you.

I can't see what's really important, / listen to my music..listen to my music..
Doubting even what I've obtained... / listen to my music..listen to my music..
We were seeing the same dream.

Piercing, piercing, piercing...
Though I can see the things that are fading away / I can't see the light before my very eyes.



p/s: my favourite indie J-rocker so far.. the lyrics are so meaningful.  didn't mind typing all the translations again.
