Kyūshigai [The Old Town] Lyrics

I secretly put poison in breakfast
To end this long Saturday
A man-made satellite out of its orbit stares at us warily, its mouth loosening
How much time has gone by since I passed through the tower's gate?
One hour? One day? One year? A hundred years?
These stairs were so long
That I was entrapped by the feeling that I was going down as I was going up
There are probably no big differences between the two

I forgot most things, they dissolved in the rain
My memories will become nutrients for some soil somewhere
By now, someone faraway is waiting for the rainy season
The rainy season is far away
The stairs end all of a sudden, the wind falls silent
Silence wraps my surroundings, it seems like the time is ripe
I threw open the door on the top floor
And I said
And I said

"The time has come
For me to tell to that myself I gave birth to
Memento Mori"
The blue sky briefly looked a little strange
I touched your neck and pulled you in

And thus, I became dictator of the tower
And now, present sugar cubes to me
When I looked at the view far below, your former shape wasn't there
A future history made by a printing press
There is no serum for the disease of boredom, because this revolution won't cause any bloodshed
I was entrapped by the feeling that I was dead and alive at the same time
There are probably no big differences between the two

As those footsteps got closer, like the minute hand of a clock
I remembered that I knew that
The footsteps disappeared, you threw the door open
And said

And said
"The time has come
For me to tell to that myself I gave birth to
Memento Mori"
The blue sky briefly looked a little strange
You touched my neck and pulled me in

The blue sky became a little strange
You touched my neck and pulled me in
The blue sky embraces the tower, as it falls asleep
