music & lyrics / Hazuki

Give me time / All is over
Shine on my brilliant soul
To blacken out / Get out of sight
A growing anxiety
Break me down

It is utter darkness
Like a storm

Before I die / Already over？
A bedeviled soul
Severe fight / You can’t stop me
I have no time to lose
Shake me up

It is utter darkness
Like a storm

on the day i die, i’ll lose even the expression on my face
smeared in a downpour of love, i’ll melt into the skies
a prayer, a holy grief, and although i’m lost
i think only of you

if i can wake up from this night sky growing white
i want to live like a swallowtail butterfly, dancing in a blossoming dream

i want to see you

“Can you hear me?”

on the day i die, i’ll lose even the expression on my face
smeared in a downpour of love, i’ll melt into the skies
a prayer, a holy grief, and although i’m lost

it doesn’t matter so long as i burn into my mind
the image of you, the one i love

In his 2015 tweet introducing the song, Hazuki writes: “The lyrics depict feelings towards a loved one and a poem grieving over the beauty of the world from the viewpoint of a dying person.”
