夢日記 (Yume Nikki)/Hato

==Lyrics==
Japanese 	Romaji 	English
朝焼けに目を凝らして　流るる雲を割いて 	asayake ni me o korashite nagaruru kumo o saite 	Squinting my eyes at the morning glow, tearing through the drifting clouds
窓辺から飛び立つのは　昨日までの三拍子 	madobe kara tobitatsu no wa kinou made no sanbyoushi 	Leaping from the windowsill, these were the three beats三拍子 sanbyōshi is a musical term deriving from Noh drama, where it stands for music played with an assembly of three traditional instruments (the flute, kotsuzumi drum and ōtsuzumi drum), as opposed to 四拍子 yonbyōshi which adds the taiko drum as the fourth instrument. While the word is still used in its literal form nowadays to refer to musical metre, its Noh origins have brought forth another meaning – since the three instruments are seen as necessary prerequisites for a sanbyōshi assembly, sanbyōshi is used in the phrase 三拍子揃うto mean prerequisite, requirement, condition, term. Hence, three important conditions. In the context of the lyrics, it would be the the three actions that defined the singer up until yesterday, when something changed.
In order to keep the musical connotations of the word, and to fit into the themes of the dizzying noise and clock marching through time, the word beat is used here. Another association to think of could be its metaphorical meaning, like in the phrase story beat. up until yesterday
