SHIN-ON [Album]

Backlight

Lyrics & Composition: Yuujin Kitagawa

I couldn't see because of the backlight
What kind of face did you have as you asked me that?

The city's like the Red Sun woodcut
Scraped and hollowed out
Reduced to this state

Might as well keep our voices out of range forever
We both have our complaints

Kind lies, sad motives
Groping around, misinterpreting
Like parallel lines

Stained in the crowd, agonized by discord
We lose sight of the last stop

We can't go back. I'm being swept away
with my buttons done up wrong

I couldn't see because of the backlight
What kind of face did you have as you asked me that?

I'll just blame it on the backlight

* An image of the Red Sun woodcut can be found here.
Gyakkou

Sakushi & Sakkyoku: Kitagawa Yuujin

Gyakkou de mienai kimi wa donna kao de
Toikakete ita'n darou

Machi wa sekiyou no hanga mitai
Kezuriatte kojiriatte
Konna arisama

Isso konrinzai koe wa zutto kengai
Iibun wa otagaisama

Yasashii uso kanashii honne
Saguriatte yomichigatte
Heikousen

Zattou ni mamire kattou ni modae
Miushinau shuuchakuten

Gyakkou wa dekinai oshinagasarete yuku
Kakechigaeta botan no mama

Gyakkou de mienai kimi wa donna kao de
Toikakete ita'n darou

Gyakkou no sei ni shite okou
逆光
