Lyrics:
Thought out but logic isn’t clicking
That sky when I longed to have you with me
Tired breezes singing sweetly, as my mind it comes alive and flies freely
Hey, going forward oh, where will it take me?
Everything it just leaves me helplessly
Looking at me, smiling
As I turned away and didn’t say a thing
Thought out but logic isn’t clicking
Our youth is dull amount to nothing
Giving up on the piano, but the sickening beat, had taken over me
Hey, and on oh where oh will it take me?
Far from all of the music you’re making?
Go on living happily
Pizzicato strings that sing I pluck a heart-made melody
Long without me they never lose beat, when they’re out of reach ever fondly
Oh I, carry their light
And I’ll never know, I don’t care to know
Just go on and let go
All of this “love” for your life, for the world and the sky, they cry, while never knowing why
They want to know, be told down where to go
But that’s just how life flows
It’s your fault that, I couldn’t say so
Thought out but logic isn’t clicking
Forced now to face the future I’m resisting
“I’ll fade on to nothing,” and the stinging in my chest it burns right on to the ending
“Where am I headed in the future?”
Growing up I can’t speak up a single word
Stuck in frozen terms
How do I explain the hate I feel watching that happy face?
What do they have that’s missing?
Stuck there on the side I’m watching--a ghost
I follow every step but still don’t know
I’m not wrong to live! And in spite of this
We still all are human
Lacking “love” for your life, for the world and the sky, you cry, while never knowing why
That painful sting when you’re listening
Is just proof you’re living
Not that I care though, all just your whim
Thought out but logic isn’t clicking
Why does it hurt to keep on breathing on and living?
Why can’t you make a living writing music?
It’s fine if all the words I write are useless
Not like I care though
Yeah I’m sure I wasn’t wrong
Yeah I’m sure I wasn’t wrong...
And I swear I wasn’t wrong…
Yeah the fault was mine, all through my life
I couldn’t read the signs
All of this “love” for your life, for the world and the sky, they cry, I couldn’t tell you why
They want to know, be told down where to go
But that’s just how life flows
It’s all your fault that, I couldn’t say so
There was once a time I dreamed too
Now the feelings have all broke through misuse
So long that I had written for you
I don’t really care about the fame, you know my love was true
I felt it, more than I knew
That’s how I had felt then too
That’s why I’m done with it
That’s why I’m done with it
All my notes
Died with you

I only did it when the original was released

[@chusi2003]

*Amazing things about this:* 1. The way he managed to harmonize "piano" in the same way as the og. 2. The emotion in that last "I swear I wasn't wrong" 3. How every single time he manages to keep the translations so close to the original and without it losing a single thing about the meaning of the song. 4. Literally everything else. I will fight whoever dislikes this beautiful piece of art. I adore every single one of these Yorushika covers with all my heart. Please keep up the amazing work.

[@frozenhamburgers9925]

Personally I'm not very fond of how the last line was translated, I really liked hearing the title being repeated in the original, but honestly I don't think it can be translated literally like the English title is and still sound as good as this does. Actually I do really like how the last line makes it feel more personal. Ever since he covered deep indigo I've been waiting for this song, and I agree this is really really well done :D

@@rederen3350 I guess he intended it, but it is more like a mocking than actually meaning it. Like when the artist names his piece "Why i gave up on art" and it attracts people.

すげぇ　本物だ

[@irisobserving]

the fact that the video description says "about what -i- left behind" instead of speaking in the third person like normal kind of tears my heart open. I hope this song didn't hurt too much to sing, given the amount of emotion that you can just hear poured into it. All of your songs are godlike, I'm shocked I forgot to subscribe until now...

[@AntlerHit]

Same goes for me!

[@VV-pj4ri]

Yorushika songs have a super special place in my heart, and you and David do amazing jobs at covering them! The cadence to David's translyrics fits the original songs perfectly and he really has a way with words, and then you manage to capture them with so much emotion and melody that it genuinely tugs at my heartstrings! I hope you guys keep up the absolutely amazing work, and I really look forward to any future Yorushika songs you do!

[@joshburkitt7618]

I absolutely love your covers of yorushika songs (the rest of your covers are also amazing, but yorushika is one of my favourite bands). I've honestly been trying to learn a lot of yorushika songs on guitar, but I can never find very good sheet music for it, and I'm not the greatest at picking up by ear. But hearing your covers always makes my day, keep up the great work. :)
