nebulancer | Iris (アイリス)

Rikka // Eichi

English translation:

Anytime, always,

I’d looked forward to your message, but attracted by the wind,

An unexpected fragrance wrapped me up

And I looked away that day

Even though I only meant to entrust you with my exterior,

Hesitation seeped a little bit into my interior

It would’ve been better if time stopped when you weren’t with me

And had fallen asleep

I’d exchange the sensation you left with me, with my freedom

I felt that replacing you or being satisfied was wrong to do

Feeling your presence at an unknown station, my heart became flustered

I… I couldn’t continue being alone

Wake up a moment, stay here

Take a look at me, one more time

Can you touch my weakness? Embrace me

Caress me, just for right now

Whenever you want,

You can retrace your steps

There’s a space for you in me

All my friends tell me to let go, but

My heart can’t detach from you

I’ll become a mechanical puppet

If it’s something as trivial as being held captive by someone,

At least it’s not a wish that will never come true

So I want to keep waiting for you some more

As the season passed after my eyes became swollen from crying,

My memories became even more glorified

Rejecting you, getting swung around by you

But I was always captivated

Even if I were surrounded by such kind people,

I felt like there was just something missing

I… I passed the world by

Wake up just tonight, can you hear me?

Answer me with anything, just one more time

Save me from my grief, I won’t forget

The warmth you had as I slept by your side

Tell me… I wish… Hey,

I don’t know where you could be

Clinging onto your hand, I’m the same as I was before

Now that I’ve learned the smell of the flower that bloomed,

I can’t go back

Opening that closed door,

We can go… beyond the light

Wake up a moment, stay here

Take a look at me, one more time

Can you touch my weakness? Embrace me

Caress me, just for right now

Wake up just tonight, can you hear me?

Answer me with anything, just one more time

Save me from my grief, I won’t ever forget

The warmth you had as I slept by your side

Iris, wherever you are

Kanji:

Any time ずっと

君からのメッセージ

期待していたけど風に惹かれ

思いがけない香りに抱かれ

目を逸らしちゃった that day

預けたのは表面だったのに

内面にちょっとだけ染みる迷い

君がいない間時が止まって

眠れたらよかったのに

君が僕に残してくれた予感

自由と引き換えにして

挿げ替えるのも満たされるのも

間違ってる気がしていた

知らない駅で君の気配に一瞬

胸が騒いだ

僕は一人じゃ居れなかった

Wake up a moment

ここにいて

僕を覗いてもう一度

Can you touch my weakness？

抱きしめて

僕を撫でて今だけは

Whenever you want

引き返せるよ

君のスペースが僕の中にある

友だちはみんな手放せって言うけど

心は取り外せない

機械仕掛けの人形になって

誰かに捕われるくらいなら

絶対叶わない願いでもいい

君をもっと待っていたい

泣き腫らした季節が過ぎっても

記憶は美化されていった

拒んでみたり振り回されたり

でもいつも夢中だった

優しい人に囲まれていても

どこか物足りなくって

僕は世界とすれ違った

Wake up just tonight

聞こえるの？

何か答えてもう一度

Save me from my grief

忘れない

君と眠った温もりを

教えてよ I wish ねえ

どこにいるのかも分かんない

君の手に繋がった僕のままだよ

咲かせた花の香りを知ったから

もう戻れない

閉じていた扉を開けて

僕ら行ける光の先へ

Wake up a moment

ここにいて

僕を覗いてもう一度

Can you touch my weakness？

抱きしめて

僕を撫でて今だけは

Wake up just tonight

聞こえるの？

何か答えてもう一度

Save me from my grief

忘れないよ

君と眠った温もりを

Iris, wherever you are
