L'Arc~en~Ciel - Inner Core
music:sakura/ lyrics:hyde
The soul says "welcome to the inner core"
The soul says "welcome to the inner core of myself"
yugamerarete fuyuu suru gensei okasu sono koe ni
kakusenu tomadoi o warau kare wa watashi na no ka
Where is my body where is it?
(There is someone laughing with a voice that won't let me hide my confusion,
a voice that penetrates life which floats because of distortion. Is that someone me?)
shinjiteta sekai no kara ga hagasareru
senoku no ashiato ga me no mae ni hirogaru
(The shell of the world I used to believe is ripped away.
Thousands of footprints spread before my eyes.)
The real truth I realize sore wa kotoba o koeta
I realize "nanika" o imi suru
The real truth I realize sore wa ryooiki o koeta
I realize "jiko" o imi suru
Where is my body where is it?
(That is "something"
(that is beyond words.
That is "self"
that is beyond boundaries.)
karui memai no ato tadayou karada* ni * kanji reads "ishiki"
kioku no koozui ga chokusetsu nagare komu
(After my light dizziness, a flood of memories
pours straight into my floating body*.) * consciousness
The real truth I realize sore wa kotoba o koeta
I realize "nanika" o imi suru
The real truth I realize sore wa ryooiki o koeta
I realize "jiko" o imi suru
My body is unnecessary!
(That is "something"
(that is beyond words.
That is "self"
that is beyond boundaries.)
My soul says...
My soul says...
"kimi ni wa hajimari mo owari mo nai
shi wa sei de ari sei wa shi da!
mirai mo kako mo imi o motanai
kimi ga mita koto mo nai ai o shinjiru yoo ni
ishiki wa sonzai suru eien ni..."
("You have neither beginning nor end.
Death is life, and life is death!
Both future and past hold no meaning.
As if you believe in love that you never dreamed of,
this consciousness will exist forever...")
