Lowmotion Algae Lyrics Translation – 形藻土 (Keisoudo) Soundtrack
Acaね writes about turning bad feelings into fossils locked in time. The lyricist asks if these preserved memories are proof of a life lived. A key line translates to, is it your memory, with a salty honey butter taste.

Yuuhi ga ochite yuku umi ni kakureruThe setting sun falls and hides in the sea.
Nami wa shiranai furi shite boku o mimamoruThe waves pretend not to know, watching over me.
Tabidachi ga totsuzen demo daijoubu na you niSo that it’s okay even if my departure is sudden,
Jikan ga tojikomerareta kaseki niinto the fossils where time is locked away,
Surikomaseta no wawhat I embedded in them,
Boku no ikita akashi na no kais it the proof that I lived?
Kimi no memorii na no ka hanii bataa enmiOr is it your memory, with a salty honey-butter taste?
Dokuso ga jojo ni awa to nari tobichitte yukuThe toxins gradually turn into bubbles and scatter.
Kirei da to kirei da ne to waraiauWe smile at each other, saying how beautiful it is.
Shiokaze ga aseta gitaa ni fureruThe sea breeze touches my faded guitar.
Obatsukanu koe wa namioto ni tokekondekuMy unsteady voice melts into the sound of the waves.
Kokoro shizuka ni togisumaseba kikoeruIf I quietly sharpen my mind, I can hear it.
Mujaki ni hashaideta yokogao tomoshibiThe light on your profile as you innocently played.
Yuuhi o kazoeruI’m counting the setting suns.
Otona ni nareta naraIf we can become adults,
Mata itsuka doko ka de omoidasoulet’s remember it again someday, somewhere.
Tebanashita suna kakiatsume hifu ni takushitaI gathered the sand I let go of and entrusted it to my skin.
Sayonara nante imadaSaying goodbye is something I still
Wakaranai wakannai karada kedodon’t know, don’t know how to do, but
Daijoubu bokura no kakera wait’s okay, our fragments
Kihou ni kizamaretekuare being carved into the air bubbles.
Amari ni mo muryoku deBeing so entirely powerless,
Chippoke de irarete arigatouthank you for letting me stay so tiny.
Kono sabishi sa dake wa sukoyaka niI will healthily accept
Mitomete ageru n dathis loneliness alone.
Sayonara nante imadaSaying goodbye is something I still
Wakaranai wakannai karada kedodon’t know, don’t know how to do, but
Daijoubu bokura no kakera wait’s okay, our fragments
Kijou no uta ni yadosuwill dwell in the songs on the desk.
RararaLa la la.
