[English lyrics]
Chimera

I stroked the chimera of tears and sobbing,
I stroked the chimera of happiness and disaster,
and it seemed to ease me up.

The blue sunlight stuck to the windows of the train, which seemed to be melting at any moment.
It spurred me on to tomorrow, even though it killed many lives.
The sound of the wheels lulling us to sleep.
Even when my eyelids fell off, the afterimage remained behind them.

If we could mix emotion and sentimentality and make them into something that we could take in stride,
we wouldn’t be disgusted by the shabbiness of the road home, nor blinded by the glare.

Try to separate the two worlds.
Separate light and dark, just like God.
Will we be forgiven if we go over there to one of the two worlds?

Both pedigreed myths and crossbred philosophies differ only in whether they truncate or align inconveniences.
Can't we just hold what we like and what we don't like together?

This city does not want lights yet.
The windows reflect the same blue sky as in the morning.
Let's put the key in the front door.
Let's keep our eyes from swelling.
I can't leave the same way I left yesterday, or before, though.

After I stroke the chimera of an open seam and a sob, of happiness and disaster.

I don't mind wrapping myself in a warm towel,
listening to that melody one more time,
and thinking about people who can't go home right now.
The short night makes me worry about them.

I stroked the chimera of tears and sobbing, and it seemed to ease me up a little.
I stroked the chimera of happiness and disaster, and it seemed to ease me up a little.

[Lyrics]
キメラ

綻びと咽びのキメラを撫でてみたら
幸いと災いのキメラを撫でてみたら
楽になれる気がした

いまにも溶けてしまいそうな車窓に貼りつく青い日差し
数多の命を枯らしても私を明日へと駆り立てた
車輪の調べがまどろみ運ぶ
目蓋が落ちても影は残された

感動と感傷を混ぜ合わせ
適当に受け止められる何かにできたなら
家路のみすぼらしさに嫌気がさすこともなければ
眩さに目を潰すこともない

二つの世界があると割り切ってみて
光と闇を神様みたく
許されるの
そちらに行けば

血統書付きの神話も
交配を重ねた哲学も
不都合を切り捨てるか切り揃えるかの違い
好きなものと嫌いなもの
そのまま一緒に抱えていてはいけないの

この街はまだ灯りを欲さない
朝と同じ青空を窓が映す
鍵を差そう
目は腫らさずに
昨日と
これまでと
同じ帰り方なんてできないけど

綻びと咽びのキメラを撫でたら
幸いと災いの

ぬるいタオルケットに包まれて
もう一度あの旋律を聴きながら
今は帰れない誰かを想う事くらい
構わないでしょう
短い夜がそうさせる

綻びと咽びのキメラを撫でてみたら少し楽になる気がした
幸いと災いのキメラを撫でてみたら少し楽になる気がした

    知り合いに教えてもらって聴いてみたらマジでディーパーズとブラックメタルと激情が組み合わさったみたいな曲でやばい、ディーパーズみたいなコードワークと刻みとフェイザーの入れ方がモロに来るし後半の濃厚なブラックメタル要素が自然に入ってくるのもアツい
  • @taka-to8fd
    メタル系聞いて泣きそうになったのは初めてかもしれない 凄くメロディが素敵
  • @graf_geo
    Spotify algorithm made the right choice with this one. Great track
  • @jagajazzin
    The entire "Islands" album is definitely one of the most special albums to come out in the last ten or however many years. Incredibly addictive album
  • @khai.8024
    fucking love the riff man sugoi na asunojokei
  • @naiad11211
    이 밴드가 그리는 '우울'이라는 정서가 너무 좋습니다. 비 오는 날의 수채화 같아요. 신곡 나온 거 이제 봐서 요즘 자주 듣게 되네요. 일본 밴드들은 멜로디를 잘 뽑는 것 같습니다. The sentiment of 'depression' portrayed by this band is quite touching. ​It's like a watercolor painting of a rainy day.. Now that a new song is released, I listen to it all the time these days. Japanese bands make beautiful melodies.

    むっちゃ歪んでるのにコードがオシャレ

    Your music is the type of music in the back of your head you heard before in another time and in another place. You can't quite remember where you heard it before and you go your life looking for it. Now I've found it.
  • @sighduck5183
    Holy fucking shit! I can’t believe I just found this band. You guys are incredible and exactly what I’ve been missing. Keep going, you’re going down in the books as legendary in the scene.
  • редко можно найти что стоящего в жанре пост блэка блэкгейза уж ее ожидал что такую замечательные работу найду именно в японском сегменте. Спасибо за ваш труд! видно что это музыку делают люди которые безумно любят это дело
  • @j-cee2737
    This song was pure joy to listen to live. Greetings from Poland!
  • @LeBonMarty
    Asunojokei never disappoint, do they ? Great track, I really like the feeling in this one !
  • ブラックメタル+jpopという広告?(この謳い文句やめた方がいい気がする笑)で初めて知った。聴いてみたらenvy系の叙情派ハードコア。envy感強いボーカルだけどコード感や展開がすごいカッコいい!日本はこういう音楽が増えるべき。LP売り切れてて買えなかった悲。。。ライブ観に行ってみよう
  • @bloodherz9011
    Damn I love this band! The tension created by the special scale is just so fantastic.
  • @user-jp4fp2zj6u
    ブルーハーブ観たくて2月24日行くけどかっこいいじゃないか。
  • @LycheeMelona
    Never been so excited to buy an album a second time. I hope the reissue is getting a vinyl press.
