Diaspora Meaning & Lyrics (Black Petrol)
PERSIA writes about distant bonds that stay strong, using the image of a circle formed under miles of sky. The lyric ‘Miles away, but we feel close’ captures how shared soul matters more than shared soil. SOMAOTA recalls talks in smoking areas and demo sessions with Jay, grounding big emotions in real moments.
Miles away but we feel closeMiles away, but we feel close.
Different roots with the same soulWe have different roots but share the same soul.
I know we’re far away from homeI know we’re far away from home.
So I’llSo I’ll
Never let gonever let go.
君と会えたのも何かの縁Meeting you was some kind of destiny.
喧嘩や契約離れ離れFights and contracts tore us apart.
俺らいつも真剣と見せかけWe always pretend to be serious,
また集まる理由ただ欲しいだけjust looking for a reason to gather again.
こじつけの理論より経験Experience matters more than forced theories.
喫煙所のトーク忘れてねえI haven’t forgotten our talks in the smoking area.
遠くを目指す黒猫のKThe black cat K, aiming for the distance.
あらゆる不条理戦うeydayFighting all kinds of absurdity every day.
天国の絵面受けた洗礼Baptized by a vision of heaven.
まるで雷が落ちた晴天Like lightning striking from a clear blue sky.
音に囚われた者をレペゼンRepresenting those captivated by the sound.
歴史とビートは繰り返してくからBecause history and beats keep repeating,
吐ける時に吐いとけ本音spit out your true feelings while you can.
年月日時分秒戻らねえYears, months, days, hours, minutes, and seconds won’t come back.
なら韻で痛みに意味を与えSo give meaning to the pain with rhymes,
神の前髪に手を伸ばせand reach out for the forelock of God.
Miles away but we feel closeMiles away, but we feel close.
Different roots with the same soulWe have different roots but share the same soul.
I know we’re far away from homeI know we’re far away from home.
So I’llSo I’ll
Never let gonever let go.
万里の麓で囲んだ円The circle we formed at the foot of thousands of miles.
戦う理由何気ない思い出Our reason to fight is found in casual memories.
思ってもねえこと言ってごめんねI’m sorry for saying things I didn’t mean.
アイロニーだけじゃ立ち上がれんYou can’t stand back up with irony alone.
内省的になってもええIt’s okay to become introspective.
酒や女溺れる落ちこぼれの手を引いてI’ll take the hands of the dropouts drowning in liquor and women.
眼光鋭いJay demo聴いてListening to a demo by Jay with his sharp gaze,
増えてくストレスとpain楽しんでenjoying the growing stress and pain.
多くの者諦めざるを得なかったものを追ってChasing what so many others had no choice but to give up,
多くの人の胸を刺す無念the regret that pierces the hearts of many.
成仏させる為代わり背負ってI shoulder it for them so they can rest in peace.
洞窟の中泣く声を聞いてHearing the crying voices inside the cave,
ロープの代わり走らせるペンI run my pen across the page instead of a rope.
京都から世界へFrom Kyoto to the world,
感情のしがらみで編んだ船a ship woven from the entanglements of emotion
海を越えるcrosses the ocean.
Miles away but we feel closeMiles away, but we feel close.
Different roots with the same soulWe have different roots but share the same soul.
I know we’re far away from homeI know we’re far away from home.
So I’llSo I’ll
Never let gonever let go.
