*Don’t Carry Our Memories Away* / rinri - LYRICS TRANSLATION _“Be it memory or regret”_ - Producer’s comment in the description The water surface, not having changed at all since that day When we had been too young to remember anything, was beautiful as well. I felt like we were connected by uncertain memories, For all time, for all time, for all time. I drew a picture on the beach sand, So that it would go away soon, Because emotions are not something To show off to somebody. Even so, I thought you were Going to find them- Going to find them- Don’t carry our memories away. Our greedy souls desired what we didn’t have in hand, And we even wished for words and feelings. On the coast were the scents and shapes I remembered. Don’t let them go, don’t let them go, don’t let them go. I’m always hanging my head. I put on a brave front and act like I’m all right. Those unnatural hues And spaces turn into regrets While I am always clinging to a faint hope. It was cold in the water, because I had a temperature. The surface had a shadow reflected upon it, which looked like yours. I knew it in my head- That you were not here. I knew it in my head. I knew it in my head. It was cold in the water. I wanted to touch you. The water choked me. I swallowed all the emotions I had ruminated Along with the seawater, and then screamed. It’s all my fault- Without even knowing the truth, I was convinced that our ordinary Days and memories were only beautiful. See through my jokes, please. Will you see through my love, please? What do I want to say? I don’t even know that myself! I absolutely don’t! Wait for me on the edge of the surf, Even if our voice and color were all carried away. The water surface, not having changed at all since that day When we had been too young to remember anything, was beautiful as well. Be it our differences, Future, visions, Stupid vows, Wishes, or mistakes, I will never forget them. Our emotions and affections Were engulfed in the blue, in the blue.
even though i dont understand japanese, i can feel the deep sorrows potrayed in the lyrics. the very small whispers, the very loud screams, its like youre letting all your emotions out before finally reaching your own end all by yourself, breaking free from the whispers haunting you.
it's rare that a song can enrapture me through the first time listen...and this is one of the few songs that can do so!! I can totally feel the painful and agonizing emotions through the arrangement + the muffled sound effects throughout that perfectly captured the sense of "i want to drown out these emotions in the water" is masterfully done :)
i found this song not even an hour ago and i immediately saved it into my favorite playlist after the second listen it's amazing really, the vocals, the music, the illustration, the emotions overall. i don't even understand a single word and yet i feel like i can relate to the song. this is a masterpiece, i hope i never get tired listening to this
