伽藍堂－己龍（Japanese-English Lyrics Translation）

「伽藍堂」（Emptiness）

「私」を満たして　「私」で満たして　殻の中は空の⾝体 Satify ‘myself’, satified by ‘me’, it is an empty body inside the shell 故に浮遊⽉の様に　揺蕩うばかりの意識　命の重さは微塵も無い Therefore my mind drifts only like a floating moon, my life is even lighter than dust 姿形は其処に在れどソレを何と呼ぶのだろう Although my appearence is there, what shall it be called 膨らんだ夢想もただの無相　何も無い Distended dreams are merely dreams, nothing really exists* 「私」は伽藍堂 ‘I’ am emptiness 後ろ向いたつもりも⽬を背けたつもりも I do not intend to look back, or to turn away, 背中⾒せて在らぬ⽅へ逃げたつもりも無い Or even to set an example and escape to somewhere else 愚直に上の空　虚空を眺めては… Stupidly honest and absent-minded, if I look at the void sky... 「私」を置き去り　「私」は「現」を貪る I leave ‘myself’ behind, ‘I’ covet for ‘the reality’ 咀嚼も出来ぬ程脆く　砂を噛むが如く I am too fragile to chew, as tasteless as sand 「現」で埋めれば　「現」に染まれば　殻の中はカラカラと鳴る If I am buried in ‘reality’, if I am affected by ‘reality’, the shell rattles 故に何処に⾏く事も無く　但し何処にも辿り着かない　命の重さは微塵も無い Therefore I am going nowhere, and yet arriving nowhere, my life is even lighter than dust 姿形が崩れぬ様　⼈の棘に触れぬ様に To let not my shape fall, to touch not others' thorn, 膨らんだ夢想に剃⼑を…　何も無い I bring my distended dreams towards a blade... they exist no more 「私」は伽藍堂 ‘I’ am emptiness *Notes: 伽藍堂: Garandou, a temple that worship Garanjin, a deity that guardstemples and shrines. The word can also mean the emptiness in heart. 無相: A Buddhist term, meaning having no shape or form. Because if dreams have no shape or form, they are not achieved, hence they are nothing but dreams.
