In The Dark Lyrics English Translation by TEMPEST
Like a puzzle in the darkness
The me that was trying to fit in
I doubted if there was an answer
In all the pieces I held in my hand
All day long
The emotions that just brushed past me
I guess they were actually piling up inside my heart
What version of me
Should you hug first?
Off to somewhere
(Even those birds flying away)
Where should I go?
(I, too, am on a lost path)
I’m dyed in the sunset glow
Before the darkness comes, in this shining moment
The one that used to shine on me
The one that used to embrace me
Even if I close my eyes
In the brightly shining sunset
Barely holding on, what kind of comfort
Do I even need to receive?
Before the darkness comes
Before the darkness comes
Even if I try to catch my breath for a moment, I don’t know
I feel like I’m the only one stuck in place, waking up again in the morning
I ran around like crazy, not knowing front from back
I only told my family about the good things
I barely managed to open my mouth
Starting my sentences with words like “Mom,” “Dad,”
Filling my day with words like “I’m sorry”
And before I knew it, I don’t even feel
The feeling of being sorry anymore
When was it? The image of me
I used to draw on the drawing paper is gone
I’m just being pulled along
Inside the clocks of people who aren’t me
Even when I look in the mirror
I don’t know what I’m feeling
Off to somewhere
(Even those birds flying away)
Where should I go?
(I, too, am on a lost path)
I’m dyed in the sunset glow
Before the darkness comes, in this shining moment
The one that used to shine on me
The one that used to embrace me
Even if I close my eyes
In the brightly shining sunset
Barely holding on, what kind of comfort
Do I even need to receive?
Before the darkness comes
Before the darkness comes
Please hold me
Please cry with me
Even if I close my eyes
Please shine on me so brightly it hurts
To me, who made it through today
It’s okay, you don’t have to say anything
Even if the darkness comes
Even if the darkness comes
