You.There.In.Shadows

What do you think you are doing there? Lurking and hiding, sneaking and stealing. I can see you and you know you’ve been seen, but where are you heading? Can you really believe you will be hidden forever? I think not.

So what is your next move?

Hold Nothing.

“Hold nothing – Be bound by nothing – Live life the way you want.” ~ Genjyo Sanzo, Saiyuki series by Kazuya Minekura

Why are you just sitting there turning to stone? Why are you over there dreaming about the past and slowly leaving the now? Are you remembering those who wronged you? Why? What good is that now? Are you extolling the virtues of those who helped you? Just drop it. Let it all go.

The weight of your past is crushing you. You are slowing down. Look around you and strive forward. Each person deserves a blank slate.

Yume ni unasare ki ga tsukeba Asemamire no shatsu ga boku o gusshori tsutsumi Kimi wa kimi no michi o yuki Boku wa boku de mata atemo naku samayoi hajimeru

I notice I’ve been having nightmares in my dreams Wrapped up in my shirt drenched in sweat You follow your own road I begin to wander by myself again aimlessly

Hito no murekaki wakete Ano hashi made ittemo Nan ni mo mitsukaranai

Breaking through the crowd of people Even if I make it to the bridge I can’t find anything

Choito sakiyuku hito Douka oshiete okure Wait up! Wait up! Please tell me how

Hey, you in front of me Can you somehow tell me Wait up! Wait up! Please tell me how

"Wasurero wasurero zenbu wasurero" Furui jibun ni mou you wa nai Aa shiro no jumon o

"Forget, forget, forget everything" There’s no more need for your old self Ah, the white spell is cast

Hashire hashire hashire boku no tamashii Yume o nosete doko made mo Aa hajimari wa sou ima kara

Run, run, run, my soul Go with your dreams wherever they take you Ah, it’s only just the beginning

Hora hora koukai no umi ni Toppuri tsukatteru hima ga arun nara oyogidase Namida koraeru boku yori Sunao ni nakeru kimi no hou ga zutto tsuyoin da ne

Look, look, in the sea of regrets If you have too much free time, take a swim Even though I endure my tears You who cries honestly are infinitely stronger

Ano boushi mo sutete Kono kutsujoku mo sutete Nan ni mo naku natte

Throw out your hat Throw our your humiliation You won’t get anything

Dakara koso ima tobikomu Mada minu atarashii sekai Wake up! Wake up! Don’t be afraid

So that’s why now you jump Into a new world unseen Wake up! Wake up! Don’t be afraid

"Wasurero wasurero zenbu wasurero" Nagusame atta koto mo zenbu Aa shiro no jumon o

"Forget, forget, forget everything" And forget all that gave you comfort Ah, the white spell is cast

Tatake tatake tatake yowai tamashii Koe ni dashite nando mo tsuyoku Aa hajimari wa sou ima kara

Strike, strike, strike your weak soul Calling out strongly so many times Ah, it’s only just the beginning

"Wasurero wasurero zenbu wasurero" Furui jibun ni mou you wa nai Aa shiro no jumon o

"Forget, forget, forget everything" There’s no need for your old self Ah, the white spell is cast

Hashire hashire hashire boku no tamashii Yume o nosete doko made mo Aa mou daijoubu sa

Run, run, run, my soul Go with your dreams wherever they take you Ah, everything’s all right

Ki ga tsuke ki ga tsuke sorosoro ki ga tsuke Subete wa mou chikaku ni kiteru Aa hajimari wa sou ima kara

Notice, notice, notice in a bit That everything is already coming near Ah, it’s only just the beginning

白の呪文 (Shiro no Jumon) by doa || Translated and transliterated by zetaseal

You. Yes You.

I can see you.

Yes, really. I can see you in all your frilly finery-ness. I can see you as you scream at your best friend. I can see you as you cry silently in a corner, or try to hide in while burying yourself in your focus. You. All of you. I see you in my mind’s eye.

Don’t try to hide. Don’t try to run. It will do you no good. I am in your head and you can not escape me.

Hate
Im your hate
Im your hate when you want love
Pay
Pay the price
Pay, for nothings fair

Hey
Im your life
Im the one who took you here
Hey
Im your life
And I no longer care

Im your dream, make you real
Im your eyes when you must steal
Im your pain when you cant feel
Sad but true

Im your truth, telling lies
Im your reasoned alibis
Im inside open your eyes
Im you
~ “Sad but true” ~ Metallica, Metallica (black album)
