形而上的な、蝶になる (Keijijouteki na, chou ni naru) – Becoming a butterfly, metaphysically

Ryuko Sekai / ALI PROJECT Ryuko Sekai / ALI PROJECT
from Ryuukou sekai album.

——

Something squirming, something suspended
Decomposing, regenerating

Creeping silence, rustling greenery’s shadow

Overcoming thought, overcoming words
Something whispered, something questioned
And then, I’m here
And then, I’m here

Appearing soon

There in the beginning, in that one drop

Something squirming, something suspended
Decomposing, regenerating

Crawling in dark colours, the advent of lapis lazuli cracks

Overcoming thought, overcoming words
Something whispered, something questioned
And then, I’m here
And then, I’m here

Appearing now

Nothing from the beginning, stopping time

Metamorphosis
Like flickering wind and water
Whirling Ψυχη

……

Something squirming, something suspended
Decomposing, regenerating

Creeping silence, rustling greenery’s shadow

Overcoming thought, overcoming words
Something whispered, something questioned
And then, I’m here
And then, I’m here

Appearing again

Never ending, ever repeating

Emergence
Spreading from wet wings
Burning Ψυχη

Everything is just
Within the grains of broken scales
But

Misa’s note:
1. Ψυχη: psukhḗ or the psyche. A rare use to describe a butterfly, described by Aristotle. “Those arise — those which one calls butterflies (psukhai) — out of those caterpillars which arise on leaves of green, especially on the [leaves] of the cabbage-plant, which some call cabbage.” More here. http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%CF%88%CF%85%CF%87%CE%AE

Gokurakuchouka – ALI PROJECT

極楽鳥歌 (Gokurakuchouka) – Song of the bird of paradise

Ryuko Sekai / ALI PROJECT Ryuko Sekai / ALI PROJECT
from Ryuukou sekai album.

——

Death came, as she embraced
Her mournful love
The woman danced in the sky
Reborn as a kalaviṅka

Let us sing, let us play
As if we are no longer steeped in sorrow
Buddha, please
Grant us beautiful voices
Until all the lovers in the world fall softly asleep

Shouldering countless sins
With her fingers bent
Like talons, as the sound of strings
Resonate towards hell

Turning into a bird, a flower
As if hate can no longer chase us down
Buddha, somehow
Give us beautiful forms
Before even our human hearts disappear

Let us sing, let us play
To continue filling this place with only joy
Buddha, please
Grant me a beautiful voice
So that I can sing
Until the world comes to an end
