Apparently three years of Japanese hasn't traumatized me enough to stop translating. Standard warnings apply: Oni is difficult to translate for, therefore I don't make any sort of vouchers for it being totally correct.
Arashi e Oka -- Onitsuka Chihiro
Leaving behind everything like an illusion
Today, I sink the sun again
The things about you
The things about a wind that can't fly high
I walk this hillside road reminded of them.
It is said that Virtue is "The speed at which belief becomes betrayal." but
Why is it not needed to act honestly?
And then, I became a monster, and
I still don't have an accomplice
for the sake of inconveniently preserving my usual hysteric manner.
And because I did not bow my head in agreement
Even if I'm allowed to pass through this unwounded
I am waiting for the strange tremor
While my heart shakes.
Wherever the answer is, passively
I wander the city I look down upon, but
Everyday, the horizon
is sinking leniently enough to surprise me.
Because the words that only excessively hurry to every love
I still cannot allow these things.
And then I became a monster, and
I still can't return to how I was.
Upside down, while I cry, I make my reply
To a world that nevertheless keeps expanding.
And so, because I did not run away from anyone or myself
the spiraling sky is calling to me in a voice louder than anything.
It is said that Virtue is "The speed at which belief becomes betrayal." but
Why is it not needed to act honestly?
And then, I became a monster, and
I still don't have an accomplice
for the sake of inconveniently preserving my usual hysteric manner.
And because I did not bow my head in agreement
Even if I'm allowed to pass through this unwounded
I am waiting for the strange tremor
While my heart shakes.
