Hybris (The one who shattered)

Japanese
無彩 混迷 その往来を
等閑に付し 棄て掃いた
己は繰り返す
「お前は無為無能だ」と
無相 有形 囂々啼いて
容喙したる 傀儡を
己は繰り返し問う、
──存在証明？
この相対性狭隘？
思い返すは その後悔の廻廊
傲りはバベルの様に
高く聳えて
「さよなら世界 私の夢にまで見た世界」
サカサマに墜ちてゆく 少女はもう見えない
昨日の嫌なことも忘れたくてもできなくて
花をひとつそっと撫でた
「さよなら世界 私の夢にまで見た世界」
サカサマに堕ちてゆく 彼女と目が合った
一言でも赦してもらいたくてもできなくて
私の犯した罪を…

English
Neutrality, chaos, that mutual back-and-forth
That I would neglect and sweep aside.
I would say repeatedly,
"You are lazy and incompetent."
Form, formlessness, a puppet
Clamorously protesting and interfering
Who I would question repeatedly,
── Proof of existence?
This narrow-minded relativism?
Looking back down that corridor of regret,
My hubris was like Babel,
Towering high above.
"Farewell to the world I saw in my dreams."
The girl falling in inverse is there no longer.
I try to forget the pain of yesterday, but can't
As I gently stroke a lonely flower's petals.
"Farewell to the world I saw in my dreams."
The girl falling in inverse, I met her eyes as she fell.
I try to forgive myself for even a single word, but can't.
For the sins I've committed…
Translation: YabaiYatsu
==Trivia==
*Hybris (The one who shattered) was an entry in BOF:ET -Summer Dream Traveler-, where it ranked 2nd by total score, and 1st by median score.
*The song's Japanese title is ヒュブリスの頂に聳えるのは (Hyuburisu no itadaki ni sobieru no wa, lit. "Hubris, the one who towered above all").
**The song is a sequel to サカサマの空に在ったのは (Sakasama no Sora ni Atta no wa, lit. "What lay in the inverted sky") from G2R2018.
**Below is a translation of qfeileadh's song commentary: When hubris dominates a person's heart, it ultimately leads to ruin.This song is a companion work to my earlier G2R2018 entry "Sakasama no Sora ni Atta no wa". I wrote "Sakasama no Sora ni Atta no wa" to be a cute and upbeat song about an energetic and upbeat girl who jumps in despair and commits suicide, but I decided to do the reverse of that this time around. This song is a more melancholy song with a cool vibe about a melancholy and negative girl who despairs after witnessing a girl committing suicide because of her.The girl from "Sakasama" and the girl "Yume Kazama" who features in "Hybris" were friends. Yume-chan was conceited, and fancied herself as a smart philosophical type who knew everything. She ended up having an argument with the girl from "Sakasama", which indirectly led to her suicide.Witnessing the moment when the girl from "Sakasama" shattered, "Yume" fell into a deep despair.When hubris dominates a person's heart, it ultimately leads to ruin.
