Aimer - escalate lyrics (Translation)
Who sings this song about our pain and sorrow?
We’ve been staring at our mirrored karma, pretending we’re done for
The pain repeats, a longing yet unknown
The weight of my sin nails me down, no matter how I struggle
Is it the future falling, just like idolatry?
The faint footsteps of uneasiness are the despair of all
Emptiness follows you here, this never-ending war
Rewind to the future we want to believe in
Can’t accept it, so escalate, escalate
I need someone to cast down my eyes
Pray in my name, pray to ancient times. Broken, then joined again
Again and again and again. Like a helix, one thing
Why do I keep fighting? What is it that I can’t let go?
Is the needle’s touch something fleeting, or a definite hope?
Searching to find the truth, there’s no tomorrow
I’ve been searching for the pattern of an endless dream, pretending I’ve already attained it
The same vision repeats itself, a paradise on the verge of collapse
The outcome of all my resistance, resisting me
I must be near to breaking down. Release me, I’m in pain
Rewrite it now, into a world where we have faith in one another
It can’t be dyed, so escalate, escalate
I can live and die just for a dash through the heavens
Give me a name, christen me. My voice is wrung dry
Again and again and again. In a storm of karma, always
Am I still going to struggle? Something is burnt into my eyelids
Are the swaying shadows just light leaking out, or are they broken remains?
Can’t accept it, so escalate, escalate
I need someone to cast down my eyes
Pray in my name, pray to ancient times. Broken, then joined again
Again and again and again. Like a helix, one thing
Why do I keep fighting? What is it that I can’t let go?
Is the needle’s touch something fleeting, or a definite hope?
Pray in my name
