無義道 - WHITEOUT [NOCTURNAL BLOODLUST]

Preface: This is my first time translating lyrics, so I'm still a little nervous. I was at the tour final on 3.10, and Hiro said some things in an MC about their recent songs -thematically- and gave me more confidence that I could do this justice. Musically and vocally, it's an absolutely beautiful song, and I strongly recommend it. I've also included the original Japanese, and romanised lyrics.




無義道
曲：Daichi
詞：尋

ずっと耐え続けた
そっと刺し殺す視線に四肢を貫かれ
どこにも居場所がない
ただ青く残った傷痕だけが痛み続ける

錆びついた鉄の味
頼るべき人は誰もいないとそう言い聞かしてる

世界は灰色に染まって
空も花も人でさえも
僕にはもう見分けがつかなくなった
感情を捨てど感覚はある
冷たい地面に目を覚ます
最後に見た景色は鮮やかで

失くした想い　描いた夢を置去りにして
せがむ言葉に騙され　幾度も傷つき続け
I find the way to die

もうこれ以上痛みは感じない
だけど身体が少し寒いよ
霞んだ目を指で擦る力もないけど
もし許されるのなら聞いて欲しい

全て失くした想い　描いた夢を置去りにして
せがむ言葉に騙され　幾度も傷つき続け
I find the way to die

Mugido

Zutto tae tsudzuketa
Sotto sashikorosu shisen ni shishi wo tsuranukare 

Doko ni mo ibasho ga nai
Tada aoku nokotta kizuato dake ga itami tsudzukeru

Sabitsuita tetsu no aji
Tayorubeki hito ha dare mo inai to sou ii kikashiteru

Sekai ha haiiro ni somatte
Sora mo hana mo hito de sae mo
Boku ni ha mou miwake ga tsukanaku natta
Kanjou wo sutedo kankaku ha aru
Tsumetai jimen ni me wo samasu
Saigo ni mita keshiki ha azayaka de

Nakushita omoi egaita yume wo okizari ni shite
Segamu kotoba ni damasare ikudo mo kizutsuki tsudzuke
I find the way to die

Mou kore ijou itami ha kanjinai
Dakedo karada ga sukoshi samui yo
Kasunda me wo yubi de kosuru chikara mo nai kedo
Moshi yurusareru no nara kiite hoshii

Subete nakuhista omoi egaita yume wo okizari ni shite
Segamu kotoba ni damasare ikudo mo kizutsuki tsudzuke
I find the way to die

Inhumanity¹

Music: Daichi

Lyrics: Hiro

Always continued to endure

Striking gazes quietly piercing my limbs²

There isn't any place I belong

Just a scar that remains blue continues hurting

The taste of rusted iron

I'm telling you there's no one I can turn to

The world is dyed ashen

The sky, flowers, even people

I can no longer tell from one another

There is a sentiment to throw my emotions away

I wake up on the freezing earth

The last thing I saw was brilliant

Lost feelings    Leaving behind the dreams I drew

Your badgering words deceive me    How many times have I continued to hurt

I find the way to die

I can no longer feel any more pain

But my body³ is a little cold

I don't even have the strength to rub my hazy eyes with my fingers

If you can forgive me, I'd like to hear it 

I've lost all feelings    Leaving behind the dreams I drew

Your badgering words deceive me    How many times have I continued to hurt

I find the way to die

Translator's Notes:
¹無義道 (mugidou) can be translated to either "brutality" or "inhumanity," but given the nature of the lyrics overall, I think "inhumanity" is a better fit.

²Hiro sings からだ (karada) here, which means body, but the kanji used in the lyrics (四肢 - shishi) means limbs.

³The kanji used here, 身体 (sung as karada but could also be read as shintai), can also mean a dead body.

I would like to express my gratitude to Chris for helping me iron out some kinks. Due to the subjective nature of song lyrics, this was a challenge, but I was happy to take it on.
