------------------------
Casting a nonsensical future
Into a cracked crystal
You're scrapping today
To ease yourself
Better shut up
Before you're jested at while yearning for it
Cos you've already been deceived
I wish God may say
"Let there be light" again
Why don't you smile with love
shutting an eye and erasing the distance?
I'm always shuddering at the meanings
Which you cannot help hunting for
Like those trembling rings you gaze on
I'm just waiting for the flowing words to fly into heaven
So as not to arouse the sleeping beauty from her dream
Someone stamped on a narcissist's shadow
And said, "Hey, I've never been satisfied like this!"
Is it because it was his own?
Whoever is to blame, if you are gonna come apart
All I can do is to admiringly see you off
Do you wanna die cowardly
Counting indivisible numbers?
Under the perfect deception
C can become zero
Trapped in the ring which you thought you had completed
You dedicate a sweet-scented bouquet to your own mirror image
In the arms of pleasure you're absorbed in the imagery
But who are you waiting for in such an old and worn cradle?
There was a great king who lived in a great castle
And had an ungreat heart
He burnt the greener grass on the other side of the fence
And only shot flightless birds
This was his great war
Having set a magnificent tombstone which symbolized
justice and contradiction
This tragic hero cried in front of it:
"I have always been drowned!
Yet no one has ever even tried to save me!"
But is there any water in your country, your majesty?
Did you think
All those rows of answers with blank gaps were the same?
In this puzzling and puzzled world
We just pointed at different directions
(I translated the lyrics myself. Though I'm not sure how much it makes sense to English speakers, I will be glad if this helps. [kal])
