Note

I don't know if this will mean anything to you. But this song unearthed new things in me. New places, new memories, new feelings, new thoughts that I never knew existed. Here's my translation, actually interpretation of the song. Yours may differ. I don't know. I strongly urge you all to give this song a listen though. I'm myself so sorry that I heard it this late. Guess I do stay in a really impenetrable bubble.

I've shattered your mirror so many times-
Looked right back at the real you
In my opinion, there is nobody like you.
I've bathed in your raw luminescence
And sung my innocent songs-
In my opinion, there is nobody like you.

In this dead land, when there is only the scorch of the sun
I could not even keep the remains of a single river intact-
I lost everything at your games- and
I still asked for another round,
Never knowing what drew me back each time.

Sometime these days, leave the safe confines
Of your clothes and shoes- and come
Be naked with me on the streets.

I've shattered your mirror so many times-
Looked right back at the real you
In my opinion, there is nobody like you.
I've bathed in your raw luminescence
And sung my innocent songs-
In my opinion, there is nobody like you.

On the way to your home, I must pass-
Each time, the sentinels of logic- sometimes
Camouflaging themselves sometimes in poetry
They get caught- I know poetry too well.

Right across your frontyard- is complex mathematics and logic-
I couldn't solve them- I could never reach the insides of your house.

Sometime these days, leave the safe confines
Of your clothes and shoes- and come
Be naked with me on the streets.

I've shattered your mirror so many times-
Looked right back at the real you
In my opinion, there is nobody like you.
I've bathed in your raw luminescence
And sung my innocent songs-
In my opinion, there is nobody like you.
