English translation: Separately scattered about flower petals, drops of pink around the waning moon reflecting an eternal love.
Eyes...left open a body that's going to rot splendidly lost, only this consciousness left without waiting for the spring.
my beloved one, you just gently turn cold, in these arms as you are broken listen. The abyss of dreams is calling like always.
on the night that blooms out of season the melody of a restless soul the flower floating in the darkness my only parting gift.
(English: Gravity is on the increase as time goes by my body returns to earth there is sky up in the air my body is in your sky and my life is in your cosmos we never come close to each other be here we exist as it is.....) it comes to an end at last the pain of being reborn in the earthen ground I swallow the promise I'm bound to a dead world
separately scattered about flower petals drops of pink around the waning moon reflecting an eternal love
This evening...oh the ecstasy of a dream... At last my eyes closed
On the night that blooms out of season the melody of a restless soul the flower floating in the darkness my only parting gift About the song: This is, by far, my favorite L'arc song. While the lyrics are fairly morbid, the song as a whole is still absolutely beautiful. In my opinion, the best way to listen to it is to watch the music video. The etherealness of the song mixes with the symbolism of the graphics in such an amazing way. I have a difficult time listening to the song without seeing Hyde in his "vampire" costume in my mind.
