venvenLyrics: Iwasaki Daisuke
Composition: MIKOTO
Time passes, and fades with every move
Love dies only when growth stops
If everything were to lay itself bare,
Will it ease the memories (heat) of that day?
Surely, this life force is running dry
Even then, my blood carries on
Embracing that faint hope,
The love (crystal) I buried in that body
"... —Is meaningless"
Ah, even if time passes
And were to be replaced
There's no proof that I ever loved you
"... I don't want to say that"
After all, isn't this coming to an end?
One day, won't everything disappear?
That's why, without deceiving our "now"
I drink up the blood of sticky memories
Going beyond "Eternity" itself [1]
And if "eternity" is what you want
We’ll prove it at once
Our Q.E.D. ———....!!!!!
Death draws near, and grows vivid with each step
There is always light behind
Anyone and everyone prays for somebody,
Yet there's not much left from that sun, huh?
So gentle, as if you’ve abandoned your wishes
Even then, I brush my lips against yours
And spend the sweetest (cruelest) of times somewhere.
The love (crystal) I buried in that heart
"... —Is worthless"
Hey… let’s fall into dreams?
Even in illness, unseen days still await
If the proof we ever lived is stained in red
“… Forgive me”
The tone illustrating the future
Always breaks apart at my ears
I keep whispering the dangerous wishes
Left in my shattered eardrums
Going beyond "Eternity" itself
And if "eternity" is what you want
We’ll prove it at once
Our Q.E.D. ———... !!!!!
"If there's no such thing as eternity, then I want to destroy this time … so was my wish"
If these thoughts keep up
I'll forget the "warmth" of being alive
And watch it turn vague somewhere
It's not just that— …!
After all, isn't this coming to an end?
One day, won't everything disappear?
That's why, without deceiving our "now"
I drink up the blood of sticky memories
Going beyond "Eternity" itself
And if "eternity" is what you want
We’ll prove it at once
Our Q.E.D. ———….!!!!!
Notes:
[1] "Eien" is spelled 永延 here, which is an unusual spelling. According to the lyricist, this is to symbolize the proof of love that extends forever (永く延ばす) all while cherishing the present. (From this tweet)
The line after uses the regular spelling (永遠) so I left it uncapitalized to show a bit of difference.
2- Rejet songs play a lot with the reading of words/kanji so I put the most prominent ones in parentheses, but too many of those are unsightly so I "merged" the ones with similar meanings (e.g. "tomorrow" written as "future") so keep that in mind.
3- This guy's seiyuu is the Japanese narrator for Peppa Pig and it takes me out every time I watch it. "Why do you watch Japanese Peppa Pig" —that's a different matter.
4- in case you're not familiar, Q.E.D. stands for "quod erat demonstrandum" and is used to signify the argument of a text has been proven. Proof of love in this case (look at note 1)
