SIDE-BY-SIDE

1.All our craziest dreams have lost their color.
2.Straining to hear their voices, I’m covering both my ears.3.
4.Alarms were screaming from every direction;
5.Someone had polluted the code.
6.With our hearts marred by selfishness,
7.Their melody begins to distort.8.
9.The distant sky was stained with color—
10.A rose-red I’ll never fail to recognize.11.

12.Love and hate, and the second-hand of the clock, are going anti-clockwise.
13.I felt like any dream might come true now!
14.But pieces of fragmented futures and gears came falling away,
15.As if they were trying to obscure something.16.
17.Before we can pull our hearts close together,
18.The mainspring will surely rust.
19.Without any way to turn back time,
20.We’ll look to the sky, having lost our place in the world.
21.A clear, mechanical sky.22.
23.Is your tilted head indicating a question?
24.Or do you have no intention of hearing that voice?25.
26.If you don’t deny the cajoling, insults, and criticisms,
27.Does that equal love?
28.They’re all scars upon your memories,
29.Carved out in equal spacing.30.
31.As a half-destroyed piano played out its cadence,
32.You and I made a pinky promise.
33.You know, back then, we’d lose ourselves in all kinds of things,
34.Never bothering to doubt a thing…35.
36.We wished to remain a disappointment.
37.Since when did that wish came true?
38.We thought we were better off not know each others’ names.
39.At some point that wish came true.40.
41.The springs of our hearts were wound
42.And we lost all meaning.
43.Along with this day that’s beyond our control,
44.They spread endlessly outward, as if being flattened.
45.A clear, mechanical sky.46.
47.I won’t ask anything of you, so don’t ask anything of me!
48.Oh, Sun… staining this day with pale light! (Staining this day with darkness!)
49.Daylight! Time! Stop right where you are!50.
51.Force back the clock’s hand until it’s going anti-clockwise—
52.Reduce everything to zero!
53.If there’s no salvation, and no wishes to be had,
54.Just rewind it all to the beginning!55.
56.Before we can pull our hearts close together,
57.The mainspring will surely rust.
58.Without any way to turn back time,
59.We’ll look to the sky, having lost our place in the world.
60.A clear, mechanical sky.
