MikitoP - Desired Reply || みきとP - 返信願望
"I have a confession to make"
Focus my eye to the point where it all overlaps [1]
Screens flow on in this chilly night
Clearing my throat in this empty house, my last night as a teenager
Whatever, may as well act reckless, right?
I have a confession to make
I hope so-and-so doesn't make a big deal out of it
Love's bitterness had always kept my urges at bay
To: Cowardly Me, the timing is never right [2]
I can't keep up with a world that changes ever so quickly
It's a definitive feeling
I like you
Thus, with trembling fingers in a veil of darkness
I let my voice slip out and hit send
I'm unable to sleep, awaiting your desired reply
Relaying a chat log that resembles mutual love
It's an endless loop
(Ring…)
I sobbed like mud, so to speak
My wails start to sound disingenuous
Our people face a moon 380,000km away
You are… even further than that
I want to change
I hope so-and-so doesn't suspect anything
Past traumas resurface tonight, docile and vulnerable
From: Indirect Me, I'm asking you straight up [2]
Um… was I mistaken or were you…
flirting with me that day?
It's a sentimental feeling
I like you
Thus, my hands feel numb in the shadow of a god [3]
I knelt in prayer
I'm unable to sleep, awaiting your desired reply
Eternally left on standby status
You're as perplexing as the distant universe to me
Hey, can I hear your voice for a bit?
Come on, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to end this
Yeah, it's a definitive feeling
I like you
Thus, with trembling fingers in a veil of darkness
I hit send again
I'm unable to sleep, awaiting your desired reply
Relaying a chat log that resembles mutual love
It's an endless loop
(Ring…)
I sobbed like mud, so to speak
I sobbed, and sobbed
[1] - this is hard to format in lyrics. this is referring to the technique used in shooting sports where you would close your non-dominant eye to reduce the parallax effect and therefor improve your aim.
[2] - the way the lines are formatted is likely intended to vaguely resemble old messenger apps. i tried to reflect this same effect in a more clear-cut way.
[3] - i believe this is a play on words meaning both "image of a god" and "shadow of god." i tried to get this across by combining the two phrases into one.
