I was blind
Indigo La End • From “MOLTING AND DANCING”
MOLTING AND DANCING’s I was blind Japanese Lyrics English Translation
Kawatani Enon writes that the heart hides a membrane it cannot show. The singer says the other is not their light, a painful admission of unreciprocated connection.
Onaji Itami Wo SagashiteiruI’m searching for the same pain,
Tooku No Hou Made Kumanaku Nelooking everywhere, even in the distance.
Katate Aida Ni Seikatsu Wo ShiteLiving my life with just one hand free,
Ikinagara Eteirusomehow just surviving.
Naguri Ai Mitai Na Kotoba No YaritoriOur exchange of words feels like a fistfight.
Gamen No Hikari GaThe light from this screen,
Sore Wa Mou Akarukuteit’s already so bright,
Maitte Shimau Yoit’s wearing me down.
Itakunai“It doesn’t hurt,”
Ii KikaseteI tell myself that.
Wakatta Furi Shitakunai YoI don’t want to pretend I understand,
Igokochi Dake No Sekai Denot in this world built only for comfort.
‘Mou Ii Yo’“It’s enough.”
Dareka Ga Itte Kurenai ToIf someone doesn’t say that to me,
Ana Darake Ni Naru YoI’ll end up riddled with holes.
Dare Ni Mo Miserarenai Kokoro No HimakuThis membrane around my heart I can’t show to anyone.
Moumeku DattaI was blind.
Anata Wa Sou Na No Kamo ShirenaiYou might be the same way.
Maru Ni Natta Boku Wa Ten De Shika TsunagarenaiI’ve become a circle, so I can only connect at a single point.
Dakara Sabishiin DaThat’s why I’m so lonely.
Boku Ga Anata No Hikari DemoEven if I’m the light for you,
Anata Wa Boku No Hikari Janaiyou aren’t the light for me.
Katari Au Katachi ShiteWe pretend we’re talking to each other,
Kizu Wo Tsuke Au Dake No Hibibut these days are just about hurting one another.
Omoku Natte Iku BakariThings just keep getting heavier,
Ochite Ikuand I’m falling.
Nagareboshi Wo Yakitsukete WaAfter burning the image of a shooting star into my eyes,
Wakaranaku Natta Yoruthe night became confusing.
Subete Wo Tojiru Yuuki Nante Nai NaiI don’t have the courage to shut it all down, no, I don’t.
Mi Ta ManmaJust as it looks,
Datte Daijoubu Sou Dakarabecause I seem to be doing fine.
Koukouto Terasu No Wa Tsuki Ka Anata KaIs that bright illumination the moon, or is it you?
Boku Wa KowaiI’m scared.
Zutto KowaiI’m always scared.
Itakunai“It doesn’t hurt,”
Ii KikaseteI tell myself that.
Wakatta Furi Shitakunai YoI don’t want to pretend I understand,
Igokochi Dake No Sekai Denot in this world built only for comfort.
Mou Ii Yo“That’s enough.”
Mou Ii Yo“That’s enough.”
Mou Ii Yo“That’s enough.”
