music & lyrics / Hazuki

Can you here what I say?
I know you don’t like it all
I can’t stop it now

You thought you all burnt out
By the sun you made, yeah
So did I…

The shadowz which hides behind in your heart It is our intention

Hear it?? Let me know!

Can you see how I am ?
Look like a burnt dead man
I love it at all

I still look for my foe
There’s no one who can strike HIM down
Denying all of you!

The shadowz which hides behind in your heart It is our intention

Hear it?? Let me know!

BLACK OUT

What is possibility?

Is fairness for all?

Fuck it!!

Reach out for the shadowz

This song is originally all in English, so what you see is what you get. Sike, the Japanese translation was also shared by Hazuki. So keep scrolling for a retranslation of the Japanese version, since it is fairly different and might help clarify the song’s meaning.

I think the back-translation better conveys the relationship between THE AVOIDED SUN and SHADOWS. I’m not sure who the “him” is, though!

SHADOWZ – Japanese translation, translated to English

Can you hear my voice?
I know you won’t like it but I’m not gonna die yet

Bet you thought I was burned to ash by the sun I created myself
So did I, yeah

The shadow that lurks in your heart is our determination
Can you hear me? Try and answer

Can you see me?
I must look like a charred corpse, I love it, it’s the best

I still haven’t found my adversary, I might even be able to exceed him
I’ll deny nature

The shadow that lurks in your heart is our determination
Can you hear me? Try and answer

The setting sun leaves shadows burnt in.
My heart is simply stolen away, in a sensation seen in the cycle of life and death.
I, someone who doesn’t allow himself to stand still for a single second, and those who can’t live without clinging to the past,
naturally, will never see eye to eye.

This “end” is a “beginning”.

A complete loss of memory

What is potential?

Is it something we all have equally?

Don’t make me laugh

Now, reach out and know the shadows
