PHANTOM

lyrics / Hazuki
music / Yusuke

at dusk the wind strokes the water’s surface, taking me with it
i count the single shining star and i remember

even now

looking up at the dark sky, if i found you somewhere in this stillness , what would we talk about?
if the love and the memory from when we were bound together will disappear, then what will be left behind?

the gently swaying shadow of flames fades away
i count the single disappearing star and i forget, tears overflowing

even now, i think of you1

looking up at the dark sky, if i found you somewhere in this stillness , what would we talk about?
those tender days, that love, that memory, if i could see you once more i’d make you smil

Night mind
i’ll forget my body and go to see you
so that it all disappears unblemishe

the jade sea, the dark crimson clouds, what breathes is2

looking up at the sky growing light, if i found you somewhere in this stillness , what would we talk about?
if the love and the memory from when we were bound together will disappear, then what will be left behind?

even if everything about this world were a lie
if it can turn to pure white then that would be fine
even so, if those days, that love, that memory
if it could all come back just once, i would cry

Night mind
i’ll forget my body and go to see you
so that it all disappears unblemished

Night mind
so that it all disappears unblemished
without even saying goodbye


1: The verb is actually omitted here so I took some poetic liberties.

2: Another incomplete sentence! But I felt like putting something here would be adding too many of my own assumptions.

From Hazuki’s August 2016 tweet about the song: “The second I heard the melody, I perfectly pictured myself standing at the beach at dust while the autumn breeze blew. Days that were once taken for granted become a wish that will never come true.”
