◈Theme Interpretation – Return, or stay?
After a heated struggle, our beloved hero NONON fell in battle. “She’s… she’s gone…” said Lea. “We’ll kill them all!” yelled Hiraga, voice raging with vengeance. “But it won’t bring her back…” cried Lea. From under the ancient clock tower came a slight whisper – “Ah, I might know a way. But it means you’ll have to stay forever – you mightn’t ever be able to go back”. Together, without even a second’s grace, our two adventurers said “Okay”. Silence, as the clock stopped ticking. “Stay by my side and I’ll show you the way”, replied KIMI. KIMI joins the party – what secret could she be holding?

This is a sequel to our Round 1 entry, ‘Sweet Misery’. Watch it for Part 1 of the story: https://youtu.be/YqQuy3WtbUU

◈Lyrics/Translation:

前世 // ROTATION (Zense // ROTATION, Past-Life // ROTATION)

It took too long to realise dare mo inai (no one’s here)
Wasting every day away

Jikan wo muda suru na (don’t waste time)
Koukai saki ni tatazu (it’s too late for regrets)
All I ever needed was
For someone to believe in me

And I’ve been told
Kitto daijoubu darou (surely it’ll be alright)?
But nobody knows
What I’ve given up to get this far

It took too long to realise dare mo inai (no one’s here)
Wasting every day away saigo made (until the end)
The world keeps on spinning but can you really call this living
Jya akiramerun da ne (then let’s just give up)?

Feels like I’m always falling
Down like never before
Hitori bocchi ni natta ima (now I’ve become all alone)
There’s nothing left to save
If it’ll stay stay this way
This sweet misery

If it’ll stay stay this way
It took too long to realise
It’ll stay stay this way
Sweet memory misery
Saigo no saigo made (until the very end)

It took too long to realise dare mo inai (no one’s here)
Wasting every day away saigo made (until the end)
The world keeps on spinning but can you really call this living
Jya akiramerun da ne (then let’s just give up)?
