YAMI NI FURU AME, "Rain Falling in the Darkness"

The excessive heat woke me up from the dream that I was having… Even though I was riding on the Tokyo line, they wouldn’t let me off at Shinjuku I couldn’t find my way My arms and hair and neck Are getting drenched in that lukewarm rain that you hate The things that pour down upon you – maybe rain, maybe fate Surely you don’t expect that I’ll just leave it at that I’ll be certain to protect you myself So keep me near you Everyday, just when the whether forecast ends up wrong, we’re shown the darkness of the lie The arousal and the excitement and the gasping – it’s getting exhausted and it looks like it’s going to run out I don’t want to summon it The smell of the empty dirt or the hollyhock Or the day that comes toward us even now, changing into a fragrant picture Devoting myself completely to knowing you – maybe practical, maybe impractical It’s not like the day will ever come that I’m satisfied As long as my body lives So keep me near you To leave myself in your hands – maybe dangerous, maybe safe It’s not like there’s supposed to be something to fasten it with I’ll just give it all to you without regret The things that pour down upon you – maybe rain, maybe fate Surely you don’t expect that I’ll just leave it at that I’ll be certain to protect you myself So keep me near you
