Janne Da Arc: Oasis

04.01.30
Artist: Janne Da Arc
Title: Oasis
Words: Yasu
Music: Ka-yu

reality * common sense * bound by culture
the gears of the system, my android
the yesman who gave everything, with no pity
'we won't be needing you anymore, so be gone by today..."

What should I live for now?
no matter where I go, it's a world of darkness

before I knew it, I'd even forgotten to dream
brain washed, MOTHER BRAIN, the virus breeding

forever and ever
my future, the land stretches on, give me back the oasis
the endless night that steals my slumber,
I longed for, the melody of a dream, a mirage

everytime I gain something, I lose something valuable
just when did I become an adult anyway?

the dream I envisioned long ago, was devoured by a demon
destruction, MOTHER BRAIN, a data wipe

forever and ever
my future, the land stretches on, Oasis, now revive *1
return all of me to a drop, on an endless journey
into the far reaches of time and space

forever and ever
my future, the land stretches on, Oasis, now revive
return all of me to a drop, on an endless journey
into the far reaches of time and space

Translator's Notes: One point here

*1 - The kanji used here for the yomi portion of yomigaere is actually a word used to talk about the world of the dead/hell. It's written with the kanji for yellow and spring (water).

genjitsu * jyoushiki * kyouyou ni shibarare
soushiki no haguruma boku no andoroido
sasagetsukushita yesman yosha mo naku
'anata ha mou iranai kara kyou de kiete...'

ima sara nani wo mezashite ikeba ii no?
kono yo no naka ni doko ikedo yami no sekai

boku ha itsunomanika yume miru koto mo wasure
sennou MOTHER BRAIN uirusu zoushoku

forever and ever
boku no mirai hirogaru daichi
oashisu wo boku ni kaeshite
nemuri ubau owaranai yoru
motometa boku no merodi- shinkirou

nanika eru tabi daiji na mono wo nakushi
itsukara boku ha otona ni natta no darou

mukashi egaita yume yami no mamono ni kuwarete
hakai MOTHER BRAIN de-ta shoukyou

forever and ever
boku no mirai hirogaru daichi oashisu yo ima yomi gaere
boku no subete shizuku ni modoshite
jikuu no kanata hatenai tabiji he
