Sorrows (lyrics)
 

Sorrows

It's too late, even if I reach out now,
I can't get back you back. That's what I realized.
I'm a fool. I had fled to
a far, distant place

I felt the sky above me no longer connected me to anyone

When the wind blasted, when the rain pelted down
you were the only one who didn't give up on me
On awfully lonely nights, on agonizing mornings
the thought of you kept me going

I wonder if you can believe in my love once more
if it's not too late, if I'm still in time
I once told you: you don't have to be strong
because I'll protect you

With trembling hands held towards the sky I'm yelling to reach you now

When the wind blasts, when the rain pelts down
I will look at you and step forward without hesitation
Awfully lonely nights and agonizing mornings may come
but I'll continue weaving our dream here, for you

I wonder if there are still accusing fingers pointed at me
I wonder if I'm still not forgiven
I wonder if seeing me like that has made you cry
People might find me ridiculous
People might laugh at me
but I won't give up ever again, for you

Because even in this world,
this twisted world,
that beauty of yours gives life to me
Because even in this world,
this twisted world,
I love your beauty so much it hurts

Japanese lyrics:

I adore this reference so much to "We are all under the same sky"

How can you know about the lyrics in full without the official post or the whole song ?

^ She posted them on TeamAyu

love the lyrics!!

Amazing lyrics, I have hopes for the bridge and the outro

thanks!

thanks!

No tears left in me ayu

Amazing lyric! *-*

"I can't get back you back." hmm??
Thanks anyway, really dark gloomy lyrics. If it in a orchestra ballad, like Lana's noiric songs, I might shed a tears.

Aw, Ayu. I am always here. :D
This reminds me of Ivy so much.

After reading the news/rumors regarding the relationship between ayu and her husband, I cannot help relating this lyrics to that matter especially the first part:

It's too late, even if I reach out now,
I can't get back you back. That's what I realized.
I'm a fool. I had fled to a far, distant place

I felt the sky above me no longer
connected me to anyone

What news/rumors? I haven't kept up with anything.

I thought that maybe the song was about her fans but I'm usually wrong. XD

^ This song is definitely for TA. She posted the lyrics on TA a while ago and wrote something like "A letter from me to TA" underneath :)

There are tears in my eyes ;_; This feels very much like a song to the fans, not in the usual "la la you make me happy~" style, but in the sense that her various troubles made her acutely aware of how the people she cares about think of her. I mean of course you could easily say she's talking about her music in general, but... I dunno. This feels almost like a strange way of acknowledging the drama and chaos of the past few years, of people dragging her personal life into her professional one.

Thank you so much for the translation!

Thanks!

Those lyrics are so good, i feel connection and they hurt.

I totally grabbed that interpretation from the lyrics as well! No matter what, I've always loved Ayu. I haven't necessarily understood everything she did, but I still listened and I still found at least a few things to like. I can't even say that for most people I know.

I just hope that, wherever she is, she knows that we all love her dearly, and our lives have been made better by her existence.
