ERASE Lyrics Translation – The Oral Cigarettes
The lyrics describe a struggle with fear and loss. The narrator sings about a world that feels like it’s crumbling, but still holds onto hope. One key line translates to: ‘Right now, I’ll erase everything on the other side of that line.’
Hai ni natta kyoukaisen o koetaraOnce I cross the boundary line that’s turned to ash,
Nijimu you ni kuzureochiteeverything starts crumbling and blurring away.
Kono te nobashita sono saki waAt the end of these hands I’ve reached out,
Motometeru dareka no koe saI can hear the voice of someone I’m searching for.
