軽蔑 (keibetsu) – contempt

music & lyrics / Hazuki

even if i reel in my red thread1
i will never come across you
do i love you? i don’t know, but
i’m drawn toward you in this night, in the darkness

these faintly drifting days
where all i want is to put my lips on yours, to hold you
don’t lead to a thing, not a thing

we wander in the gaps between the sheets again
dancing with the sound of our breaths playing the song of romance
the contempt you gave me
whenever our sins repeat and you learn more about me

a shallow dream, the scent of bitter honey
the two of us shut away in a tepid night
i might love you
vague words that float into the air and vanish

these days where i drown so deeply
where all i want is to forgive everything and comfort you
i can’t wish for a thing, not a thing

we wander in the gaps between the sheets again
dancing with the sound of the clock hands playing the song of time
the cold blood that overflowed once again
whenever our sins repeat and i learn more about you

these faintly drifting days
where all i want is to hold you until dawn breaks
don’t lead to a thing, not a thing

these days where i can’t wish for a thing, not a thing

we wander in the gaps between the sheets again
dancing with the sound of our breaths playing the song of romance
the contempt you gave me
whenever our sins repeat and you learn more about me

i get the feeling i’ll disappear
unable to even say goodbye
the contempt you gave me
when our sins repeated, as if you loved me

the contempt you gave me


1: The red thread of fate is an East Asian cultural concept where destined lovers are connected by a red thread. Thus Hazuki is saying that this woman is not actually meant to be with him.
