Kimi To Iu (Ichijoji Teika)

The song is filled with heat
Chilled and frozen in the country
Echoing all around

Sinking into a bottomless abyss
I forget how to breathe
Struggling, it’s painful
Why can’t I break free?
Even as I move forward, I just get lost
In the deep, dark forest
I’m being pulled in

How much longer on this endless road
Until I can see you, the light?
Right now, where am I standing and what am I thinking
As tomorrow approaches?

The brighter the light, the darker the shadow
I try to escape
But behind my eyelids
The blue darkness spreads
I can’t shake it off
Once I’ve known it
The sound of warmth
Every time I feel lonely, it pierces
My chest

Unable to even let out a cry
My heart is silent
Yet your light shines
Unceasingly
Where am I lost, I wonder
As I dread tomorrow?

On this endless road
Maps have no meaning
You, the light, were my guide
Even when I feel you close, you’re far away
Out of reach
A secret song for you
Echoing in the country.
