Deep Sky

I started to fit¹ into the molds, against my will

Looking to the sky with my lost heart...

Translator notes:

About the romaji:

This parts is sung different from the lyrics of the booklet:

人間(ningen) = human→ 人 (hito) = person

肉声 (nikusei) = natural voice → 声 (koe) = voice

空中(kuuchuu) = sky → 空 (sora) = sky

現実 (genjitsu) = reallity → 夢(yume) = dream

the marked part is sung in a different order of the written lyrics, I’ve put this in the order that is sung to make this fluid when reading while hearing the song.

About the translation:

Italic parts are adaptations.

(↑↓) = verses changed of the original order to make more sense.

¹ ハメ(hame) means literally “to have sex”, I think this words comes from 填める (hameru) that means “to put/get in”, I translated as “I started to fit into the molds, against my will” but I think what he want to say is something like “I started to get fucked cause of the molds that I was part of, against my will”. I thought this a bit weird and too long, so I’ve adapted.

² 楽苦 (ra ku) This is not a real word, 楽(ra) means “comfort; ease” and 苦(ku) means “pain; anguish; suffering; distress”, I assumed this is a sexual sense bc of the previous stanza.

³ In this part he sings 夢(yume) = dream, but in the booklet is written 現実 (genjitsu) = reallity, which is something like “this calm and nostalgic reality involve me softly”.
