Shutting from the sky
Music by L'Arc~en~Ciel, Words by Hyde

My shut eyes are illuminated
by the sunbeams reaching out through the trees' leaves.
Who's leading me by the arm?
I'm taken out into the expanding world that I had continually rejected,
and my eyes are fascinated.

I'm engulfed in your gentle smile.
Everything is becoming smeared by that dark, sinking color.
The past crumbles, and the shadow of the conviction held in the bottom of my heart
is erased by the light...

I think for the first time,
not being able to return to the past...
The changing world...
Although it's early, I feel the
pleasant flow of this place.
The flowing of the clouds...
Starting to smell the trees' fragrance...
The seasons' changing...
are what you're looking after for for me

Shutting from the sky I fallen
In to Claustrophobia(1)

Already, I feel like... I can't see that guiding white hand
Already, I feel like... I can't hear that gentle voice


(1)This is really how it's written in the booklet.
Notes: Despite the amazing Engrish in this song, I actually went to the trouble of translating it because I think that the lyrics are very evocative. Some of my favorite lyrics by L'Arc~en~Ciel.
