九十九憑くもの ~ Rephonics

Requested by katsuragirin

Notes

“九十九憑くもの”, “Tsukumo possessed”.  Not sure if “possessed” fits enough, but I just hope it sounds enough “cool”.

九十九憑くもの

反射して散る音
心が踊るならば
怠惰でチープな
身体が焦がれること

hansha shite chiru oto
kokoro ga odoru naraba
taida de chiipu na
karada ga kogareru koto

Sounds reverberate and scatter
If your hearts are dancing
Your cheap, sloth
Bodies are yearning

唄えば唄うほど
心は遠ざかること
錆びたナイフが
身体を求めるから

utaeba utau hodo
kokoro wa tozakaru koto
sabita naifu ga
karada wo motomeru kara

The more you sing
The more your hearts gets distant
Because this rusted knife
Wants your bodies

型に憑くもの
心が弱れるほど
落ちた涙や
言葉が戻るならば

kata ni tsuku mono
kokoro ga yowareru hodo
ochita namida ya
kotoba ga modoru naraba

Those possessed
To the point their heart can weaken
If tears already shed
And words said could come back…

ああ、傀儡が落ちる音
心が震える音
叩きつける鼓動
身体が解けるほど

aa, kairai ga ochiru oto
kokoro ga furueru oto
tatakitsukeru kodou
karada ga tokeru hodo

Ah, puppets make a falling sound
Hearts make a shivering sound
A striking throbbing
To the point your body loosens

唄い狂うほど
言葉が踊るならば
怠惰で真摯な
心が届くならば

utai kuruu hodo
kotoba ga odoru naraba
taida de shinshi na
kokoro ga todoku naraba

Singing to the point of maddening
As if words dance
As if your sloth, earnest hearts
Will reach you

語り継ぐほど
言葉が無力ならば
嘆き続けても
身体はここにあるから

kataritsugu hodo
kotoba ga muryoku naraba
nageki tsudzukete mo
karada wa koko ni aru kara

Even if words are powerless
To the point of being transmitted
Grieves goes on
Because your bodies are here
