Hypermetal’s Ultrablue Japanese Lyrics English Translation
Yui and Yuto depict confusion through water and drowning scenes. The songwriters pen the line, ‘Even the clearest water starts to cloud over,’ showing how clarity fades. They note layering memories and wishing to let go.
I feel so aloneI’ve never felt so isolated
You’ll never knowYou’ll never truly understand this
In a world of shifting rules so fastIn a world where rules shift much too fast,
Something that i used to hang on is keeping me from going on and onwhat I once clung to is what’s stopping me from moving on and on.
Is this world solely meant for me to seeIs this world’s only purpose for me to witness it?
I held my firm believing in my own mindI held onto my firm beliefs within my own mind,
A whirl the center of another’s worldjust a swirl at the center of someone else’s world.
Even the clearest water hazesEven the clearest water starts to cloud over;
If it stays prepare me with clear water that will wash my heartif it stays, grant me the pure water that’ll cleanse my heart.
Till i could love myselfUntil I can learn to love who I am,
Feel as if i’m about to drownI’ll feel as though I’m about to drown.
Kioku no mama hibi to kokoro kasaneI layer my heart and days just as they stay in my memory,
Hakanaku kiete shimaebaand if they were to simply vanish into the ephemeral…
I want to hang on to a fleeting hopeI want to cling to a fleeting sense of hope,
But i wish i could stop doing thatbut I wish I could just let it all go.
I drown in myselfI’m drowning deep within myself.
YeahYeah.
I try to be in that crowd by dressing ugly to feel dominantI try to fit into the crowd by looking hideous just to feel superior;
I wanted to be the chosen oneI only wanted to be the chosen one.
I am out of this brutal crossroadsI’m escaping these brutal crossroads.
DoomDoom.
I am out of this brutal crossroadsI’m escaping these brutal crossroads.
DoomDoom.
This wave comes at me without making a soundThis wave crashes into me without a single sound;
I cannot breathe in the deep seaI can’t breathe in these deep waters.
I will be crushed if i don’tI’ll be crushed if I don’t break free.
Hodokete shimatta mienai kyougenkouThe invisible bluff I’ve woven has finally come undone;
Jibun wo kasane awasete sagashite itaI was searching while trying to align myself with everyone else.
Even the clearest water hazesEven the clearest water starts to cloud over;
If it stays prepare me with clear water that will wash my heartif it stays, grant me the pure water that’ll cleanse my heart.
Till i could love myselfUntil I can learn to love who I am,
Feel as if i’m about to drownI’ll feel as though I’m about to drown.
Kioku no mama hibi to kokoro kasaneI layer my heart and days just as they stay in my memory,
Hakanaku kiete shimaebaand if they were to simply vanish into the ephemeral.
