Yura Yura Teikoku - Swaying movement
ゆらゆら帝国 - ユラユラウゴク

Like being drowned. Like swimming.
Like floating. Like sinking.

I am playing back and resurrecting with a cassette tape.
The ghost of the girl who I wanted to love me.
It's beautiful.
The feeling of slowly saturating myself with that person I love so much.

Like being late. Like making progress.
Like pausing. Like continuing.

This body which is polluted with vagueness
is living out its existence with it's mechanical clicking heart
I am playing back and resurrecting once more
my useless and untouchable youth.

Like being drowned. Like swimming.
Like floating. Like sinking.

Decided in the morning, broken in the afternoon.
Tomorrow for sure. Without a doubt, tomorrow.
Discovered in the morning, thrown away in the afternoon.
Tomorrow for sure. Without a doubt, tomorrow.


溺れているような 泳いでいるような
浮かんでいるような 沈んでいくような

愛されたい子は幻を カセットテープで再生してる
大好きなあの人が ゆっくり染みこむ感じがすてき

遅れているような 進んでいるような
途切れているゆな 続いてゆくような

あいまいだらけのこの体 カチッとハートに存在してる
だめなのさわっちゃいけないの 青春もう一度再生してる

溺れているような 泳いでいるような
浮かんでいるような 沈んでいくような

朝に決めて 午後にくじけた
明日きっと 明日こそきっと
朝に見つけて 午後に捨てた
明日きっと 明日こそきっと
