幻実感
Autor: vsan
However, we had this wonderful talk with one of the survivors of August 6th and he was telling us his story of how he made it through. It was.... I don't know... it's hard to say.
This lyric is losely based on his story.
When he smiled, I knew he understood what life really is about.
The title is 'genjitsukan' (幻実感 in Kanji), meaning 'sense of reality' but it's written with the Kanji for 'phantom' (幻) instead of 'reality' (現)... meeeh... don't even know if this makes any sense...

幻実感
by vsan
Loneliness is a word
tattoed only on brave people.
My wrists tremble,
my eyes gaze
at your shattered sky.
A set of light born in the east
like every day for the last twenty years,
I get up preparing for the day
of exploding hearts and memories.
When I leave, the children already play in the alley.
'This day is way to beautiful to be real',
I think and hurry to get my train.
My mind is wandering through the
scattered memories of you kissing my neck.
I keep on, hoping - this day will end earlier
than our lives - for you to be waiting at home.
My pocket contains a smile of you, my heart
framed it like a lifelong dream.
A few cranes appear at the blue coloured sky.
A beautiful sight within this beautiful world,
torn apart by war behind the borders of our-
Rumbling hearts, the breath of you
on my skin at night.
A morning like no other
will open our eyes to a brand new-
My hands are wandering between ruins.
A city embraced by scars only visible
in a flash of light.
Like a bright sunset in the eastern sky
I keep running through a nightmare of life.
My heart is wandering through the
scattered lanes of a forgotten city.
I keep on, hoping - this day will fade quickly -
for you to be alive.
Not only in my heart
but everywhere the ghosts of my nightmare scream -
for their loved ones - for letting them see
their smile a last time before they have to go.
I run along the streets of destruction!
If I can find you in this debris
I sure will be happy again.
If we find our dreams in these debris,
I'm sure this world could be happy again.
