The Abyss Meaning & Lyrics (Kami Wa Saikoro Wo Furanai)
The lyricist describes a body dissolving into ‘transparent butter,’ a metaphor for losing oneself. Lines like ‘I’ll be by your side (but don’t wanna be with you)’ capture the push-pull of a toxic bond. The songwriter uses vivid contrasts, like a barren flower inviting someone into the abyss, to highlight the struggle between escape and surrender.
Doku doku myaku wo utsu kodouMy pulse throbs like poison,
Burebure no memai noand in this shaky, dizzy vertigo,
Shikai ni tokeruit dissolves right into my vision.
Rinkaku wo ima hodoiteUnraveling my outline now,
Toumei no butter ni kigaeruI change into something like transparent butter,
The venusthe Venus.
Maboroshi da tte hohoemiauWe smile and say it’s just an illusion,
Ima hitotsu ni meltas we melt into one right now.
Matataki no awa ni oboreDrowning in the bubbles of a fleeting moment,
Koboreru namida & highwith spilling tears and a euphoric high.
Anteizai wo ima choudaiGive me a stabilizer right now,
I’ll be by your side (but don’t wanna be with you)I’ll be by your side (but don’t wanna be with you)
Eien ni aijou no doreiA slave to this affection forever,
I’ll be by your side (but don’t wanna be with you)I’ll be by your side (but don’t wanna be with you)
Hikari mo todokanai bashoIn a place where even light cannot reach,
Ido no sokoat the bottom of the well,
Koko ni wa itamithere is no pain here,
Kyoufu mo urei mo naiand no fear or sorrow either.
Garan dou no seitai himeimeiteMy hollow vocal cords scream out,
Naraku ni izanau adabanalike a barren flower inviting me into the abyss.
Mou modorenakute nukedasenakuteI can’t go back and I can’t break free,
Boku wo someta karumafrom the karma that has stained me.
Nomarereba nomareru hodoThe more I’m swallowed up by it,
Boku ga boku de aru you dethe more I feel like I’m truly myself.
Anteizai wo ima choudaiGive me a stabilizer right now,
I’ll be by your side (but don’t wanna be with you)I’ll be by your side (but don’t wanna be with you)
Tsumi da to shitte modoreyashinakuteKnowing it’s a sin, yet unable to turn back.
Eien ni kodoku no doreiA slave to this loneliness forever,
I’ll be by your side (but don’t wanna be with you)I’ll be by your side (but don’t wanna be with you)
Ima nara kitto toberu ki ga shiteI feel like right now, I could surely fly.
The meaning of ‘The Abyss’ is the paradox of finding freedom in confinement. The lyrics examine the tension between dependence and self-awareness, creating a hypnotic soundscape in Japanese.
