グラーヴェ (Grave)

==Lyrics==
Japanese 	Romaji 	English
モノクロで劇的な渚のマイウェー 	monokuro de gekiteki na nagisa no maiuee 	The dramatic shoreline in monochrome is my way“My way” is in English. That’s why the wording is awkward www
論理的な言葉がやけに疲れて 	ronriteki na kotoba ga yake ni tsukarete 	The logical words were awfully worn out
リアリティーだけ切り取ったその姿 	riaritii dake kiritotta sono sugata 	You, a figure cut out from only reality,
僕の視界まで　君だけが加速してゆくの 	boku no shikai made kimi dake ga kasoku shite yuku no	Until you entered my vision, you alone were speeding up
 	 	
何もない日々を　知ってまた僕は 	nani mo nai hibi o shitte mata boku wa 	Knowing well these days of nothing,
きっとボロボロになるのだろう 	kitto boroboro ni naru no darou 	Surely I'll become worn out again.
凍えたいのは　この世界だ 	kogoetai no wa kono sekai da 	But what I want to freeze over is this world
Hello　新しい部屋に鍵をかけて 	Hello atarashii heya ni kagi o kakete 	Hello, I lock up a new room
飛び込め　上へ 	tobikome ue e 	And now, jump to the top!The Japanese for “to the top” is /ue e/. The Japanese transliteration for the English word way, used later in the song, is “uee.” Thus this is a pun, as they sound the same.
 	 	
繰り返すリズムから響いたランウェー 	kurikaesu rizumu kara hibiita ranuee 	On a runway that echoed from repeating rhythms,
彷徨えば後ろから影に憑かれて 	samayoeba ushiro kara kage ni tsukarete 	If you wander, he'll come from behind and possess you in the shadows
グラビティーだけ切り取ったその姿 	gurabitii dake kiritotta sono sugata 	You, a figure cut out only from gravity,
午前3時まで　君だけを淘汰してゆくの 	gozen sanji made kimi dake o touta shite yuku no 	Until 3 in the morning, I hunt you down aloneThe word translated “hunt down” means “(natural) selection” or “weeding out;” in this context, I thought hunt down made more sense.
 	 	
何気ない声を　ずっと待つ僕は 	nanigenai koe o zutto matsu boku wa 	Always waiting for that indifferent voice,
きっと寂しさをボロボロと 	kitto sabishisa o boroboro to 	Surely, I want to shed tears of loneliness, drop by drop.So on this line we were hella confused, so we asked niki who replied that the line had two meanings: “Surely, drop by drop, I want to cry loneliness. & Drop by drop, I want to shed loneliness. There are two overlapping meanings, yeah!” So, it’s the same sentence, with two different subjects. Also, this guy on hinative said that the loneliness was a metaphor for tears, so although it only says “cry loneliness,” it means the subject is crying loneliness like tears, or tears of loneliness.
流したいのは　この世界だ 	nagashitai no wa kono sekai da 	And this world wants to cry those same tears.
Hello　まだ見ない今日に鍵をかけて 	Hello mada minai kyou ni kagi o kakete 	Hello, I lock up my still-unseen today
行くのだ　ウェー！ 	yuku no da uee! 	And follow the way!
 	 	
さよならだけ切り取ったその姿 	sayonara dake kiritotta sono sugata 	I, a figure cut out only from a goodbye,
君の世界まで　僕だけが加速してゆくの 	kimi no sekai made boku dake ga kasoku shite yuku no 	Until I reached your world, I alone was speeding up
 	 	
何もない日々を　知ってまた僕は 	nani mo nai hibi o shitte mata boku wa 	Knowing well those days of nothing,
きっとボロボロになるのだろう 	kitto boroboro ni naru no darou 	Surely I'll become worn out again
凍えたいのは　この世界だ 	kogoetai no wa kono sekai da 	But what I want to freeze over is this world
何気ない声を　ずっと待つ僕は 	nanigenai koe o zutto matsu boku wa 	Always waiting for that indifferent voice,
きっと寂しさをボロボロと 	kitto sabishisa o boroboro to 	Drop by drop, my tears of loneliness will surelySame structure and wording as 1:42, though without the “This world” as another subject; thus no two meanings here, and no confusion. I translated this line differently a bit, since I wanted the word for “cry” (here “flow down”) to be at the end since that’s how it is in the Japanese, and honestly it’s a pet peeve of mine when the English subs don’t match the Japanese displayed.
流して　way 	nagashite way 	Flow down. That's the way I'll goIt just says, “Way,” not, “That’s the way I’ll go,” but just the “way” sounded awkward. The sentence before it ends in a continuative, effectively meaning “…flow down, and way” so the occurrence “way” is connected to and comes after the last sentence.
