Lyrics and translation DIR EN GREY - GLASS SKIN (Japanese lyrics version)

GLASS SKIN (Japanese lyrics version)

ブレ始めた視界
ガラスの空 風の色
独り流れているメリーゴーランド 手を振る
後ろめたさよりどことなく薄れた声
明日自分を置き去りに眠る
喜劇の涙より誰よりも儚く
奪われるまま汚れるままココに
一夜明けた暗い朝に窓を額に見立て
眠る肌 起こし濡れた絵に手を伸す
春が川に散らす
命ユラユラ何所へ行く?
重たく閉ざした扉に手をかける
パレードの亡骸静けさが今日も俺を
眠らせない真実と笑う
喜劇の涙より誰よりも儚く
奪われるまま汚れるままココに愛を
おどけて踊る四季がどこまでも痛く
奪われるまま汚れるまま
差し出す夢に溶けて
I bleed as my way
Of compensating
Everything to you
How heavy is blood?
Happiness and sadness lies too close
生まれてくる明日の手は 純粋そのままで
涙で君がもう見えない
喜劇の涙より誰よりも儚く
奪われるまま汚れるまま ココに愛を
君を見下ろせる一つの観覧車
ただ崩れ行く旋律さえ
甘く綺麗で怖い
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
浅い言葉より太陽にさらされた
影が焼け付く心に触れ

GLASS SKIN (English lyrics version)

My vision begins to blur
Through glassy skies, the color of the wind
A solitary merry-go-round drifts by, its riders waving
A voice trails off, tinged with a hint of remorse
Tomorrow, I'll abandon myself to sleep
More ephemeral than tears of a comedy
Taken and defiled, I remain here
At dawn's dark awakening, I frame the window with my brow
My slumbering skin awakens, reaching for the wet canvas
Spring scatters upon the river
My fragile life, where does it drift?
I reach for the heavy, closed door
The remnants of a parade, its silence envelops me once more
Truth and laughter haunt my restless nights
More ephemeral than tears of a comedy
Taken and defiled, I remain here with love
The dancing seasons mock me with their relentless pain
Taken and defiled
I dissolve into the dreams you offer
I bleed as my way
Of compensating
Everything to you
How heavy is blood?
Happiness and sadness lies too close
Tomorrow's nascent dawn, pure and unsullied
Through tears, I can no longer see you
More ephemeral than tears of a comedy
Taken and defiled, I remain here with love
A lone Ferris wheel overlooks you
Even the fading melody
Is sweetly beautiful and terrifying
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
More revealing than shallow words
Is the shadow scorched onto my soul by the sun
