The Reason I Wanted To Die [僕が死のうと思ったのは] English Cover (Tenshinyan)

I absolutely love this song.
Audio balancing is hard and I am not equipped for it. F in the chat.
Lyrics: (Courtesy of myself.)
Think about the reason why I wanted to die,
It’s the gulls that are crying out down by the sea.
Slowly floating far away, at the mercy of the waves
Peck away at my past, and then fly away
Think about the reason why I wanted to die
The apricot tree that bloomed, pretty on my birthday
As I slept beneath the shade, sunlight shining through the leaves
I wondered If I could die like the bugs and turn to dust
Mint candy, lighthouse at the harbour
A rusted arch bridge, a bicycle that’s been thrown away
Sitting alone by a stove in a cold station
But there’s no place that my heart can run away to
Today and yesterday just feel the same,
“If you want to change tomorrow then change today!”
I understand, I understand, but still
Think about the reason why I wanted to die,
It’s my heart that feels so hollow in my chest
So unsatisfied with life, it’s the reason that I cry
I just wish that I could feel something again
Think about the reason why I wanted to die,
My shoelaces have all come undone
And I’ve never been that good at re-tying them again
My relationships with people are the same
Think about the reason why I wanted to die,
There’s a teenager who’s staring me in the eyes
Now I’m kneeling on my bed, still and quiet in my head
I’m apologizing to the girl I used to be.
The light of my computer screen
The sound of the people who live above me
A bird-caged boy, so scared and alone
Plugging his ears so he can’t hear the door
I’m fighting with an enemy I can’t even see
Here alone in my room, like Don Quixote
And in the end, what I’m fighting for doesn’t matter
Think about the reason why I wanted to die,
I was called a cold-hearted person once again
I just wish that I was loved, that’s the reason that I cry
That I don’t know the warmth of another person’s touch
Think about the reason why I wanted to die,
When you smile, you look much too beautiful
And the reason I can’t stop thinking that I want to die
Must be how I take living much too seriously
Think about the reason why I wanted to die,
It was all because I hadn’t met you yet!
If the world has people who are as kind and warm as you
Then maybe I can like it just a little bit more
If this world has people who are as kind and warm as you
Maybe I can have a little more hope for the world

I miss her. I miss her so much. I miss my old self so much

[@Samuel-qc7kg]

I hope you can reach her, or at least I hope you can reconcile with your present self.

[@pan6846]

I also miss my old self so much, but we have to move on even though we’re stuck in the past.

"I'm fighting with an enemy I can't even see. Here alone in my room like Don Quixote. And in the end what I'm fighting for doesn't matter." This hit me like a train...

I dont know but I really hope it 💔

[@Samuel-qc7kg]

Thanks ^^

[@rachelliu7940]

I love how they always put Violet Evergarden in this song. It matches her personality perfectly that sometimes I cry for no apparent reason.

[@-JoShiwa]

Been listening to this song for years and i just discovered an english cover exists. Really great

[@ijztv1625]

Somehow I can still 'hear' some Japanese words because I listen to this song so much xD. Nice cover !

[@moenator509]

Been waiting for an english version for this

[@sgdgamer2003]

Me too

The past is nostalgic. The Present is painful The future is fearful and uncertain.

[@austinfelty2733]

Not sure, but I feel General Grievous being channeled through this comment.

[@effectz_end]

I don't know why, but i feel like your voice fits better on this song than anyone else's. Congrats on that song, i've been listening to it for 10 hours and it just never stops being perfect.

[@effectz_end]

I'm F-ing crying! it's back!!! My favorite version is back!!!! Thank you, once again, for giving us this cover, you're the best

[@ShiroShinozaki]

I know right! I was wondering where it went! Do you know why she just suddenly just disappeared?

[@effectz_end]

@@ShiroShinozaki it got copyrighted, and i was like "wtf youtube? fuck you"

[@sgdgamer2003]

I've been waiting for an english version but i didn't deserved that i could find a good cover like yours. U won a new sub

[@Mikasuyaa]

That's so beautiful♡ and somehow a little bit sad but i like it^^

[@CuriosidadesTVap]

This is a wonderful cover, you project in a amazing way your feelings, this is one of the song that really touch me and makes me cry and you got it, it was just beautiful, thanks

[@ShihoOttomo]

Beautiful and spot-on translation, you have an amazing voice too. Thanks so much for covering this song. What a precious being you are. Please keep singing. x

[@AlphaForceMC]

I was today years old when I discovered there is a melancholic song singing about the fears of mine that have haunted me for well over a decade now. And it was so beautiful I actually cried. From someone who personally experiences this stuff I can wholeheartedly say no matter how malicious the world gets you are not alone. Loneliness, the mundaneness and stress of daily life, and the heartlessness of other strangers out there. It can mold your perception of the world. Just know whoever you are reader, that there are kind people out there. While this song hurts me in a way knowing that other people still go through this hollow emotion it also does inspire me to keep creating content and entertaining others hoping I can brighten the mood. As that sadly is all I can really do for others in my limiting position. I wish anyone reading this the best. Smile for me, that's my dream too.

[@ngocnguyenminh8935]

Such a beautiful and sad song, your way of translating and singing it is amazing.

[@timbered9619]

Welp, I was randomly recommended this, and now it’s my favorite song. Nice cover!
