SIDE-BY-SIDE

1.Where was it I just felt pain…?
2.Every time I try to put my hand there, I lose any sense of it…
3.A nameless tear falls,
4.And I lose sense of where my body’s walls lie.
5.The world is a mirage – threatening to disappear as it sways;
6.I feel like I might just be sucked in and swept away.
7.Clinging to the gentle warmth that had built up,
8.I remained there, trembling.9.
10.The sound of life I heard was a bit like that, but different,
11.Changing to rain that continually pounded my skin.
12.Beyond my closed eyes, midday stars shined, scattered about endlessly:
13.Merely individuals amongst the swarm.14.
15.Things I found… things I lost… – the things that happened in the city my heart built.
16.Despite being so alive in this moment, it feels like a lie… so affirm it with the palm of your hand.17.

18.There’s nothing here; though I’d held so close,
19.A shield of words to protect its form.
20.Nothing remains; though weak, I’d carried around,
21.A blade of will to cut open a path.
22.The world is a mirage – a papier-mâché castle:
23.A fading, yet ever-present living thing.
24.Thank you – you are the light;
25.That’s the only reason I keep on going.26.
27.The sound of myself I heard had a form I understood naturally,
28.Becoming a arrow pointing to the truth as it rang out, then returned.
29.While cowards averted their eyes before realizing what lies in the depths of their mirrors,
30.Each individual calling for help, taking aim at one another.31.
32.The fact I was born… the voice that notified me… I embraced all, endlessly onward;
33.Still unknowing… still having nothing… I embraced everything with everything.34.
35.I wonder if I can do it again like I did that time – those things that happened in the city my heart built;
36.When I touch how alive I am in this moment, respond in that same way!37.
38.Be by my side, don’t go… just smile, and nod.
39.Be by my side, don’t go… overlap and listen to the sounds.
40.Be by my side, don’t go… just smile, and nod.
41.Lead me to touch the nameless tears I’ve just come to know.42.
43.Where was it I just felt pain…?
44.Where are you? You are the light.

Parasyte: Part 2 Theme Song English Translation
Kiseijuu: Kanketsuhen Theme Song English Translation

1.どこだろう　今痛んだのは
2.手を当ててから解らなくなる
3.名前のない　涙がこぼれて
4.体の壁が解らなくなる
5.世界は蜃気楼　揺らいで消えそう
6.呑み込まれて連れて行かれそう
7.重なった　優しい温もりに
8.しがみついたまま震えた9.
10.聴こえた命の音は　よく似ているけど違っていて
11.雨に変わり何度も肌を叩いた
12.閉じた目に　真昼の恒星　キラキラ無数に散らばった
13.その中のひとつとひとつ　それだけ14.
15.見つけた事　失くした事　心が作った街で起こった事
16.こんなに今生きているのに　嘘みたい　掌で教えて17.
18.何もない　あんなに抱えていた
19.形を守る言葉の盾
20.残っていない　弱くても持っていた
21.道切り開く意思の剣
22.世界は蜃気楼　張りぼての城
23.消えそうで消えない生き物
24.ありがとう　あなたは光
25.それだけが続ける理由26.
27.聴こえた自分の音は　正体を当然知っていて
28.響いたら正しい矢になって戻ってきた
29.卑怯者　鏡の奥に　気付く前に目を背けた
30.助けを呼ぶひとつとひとつ　狙い合う31.
32.生まれた事　知らせた声　どこまでも遠く全部を抱きしめた
33.解らないまま　何もないまま　全てを　全てで抱きしめた34.
35.あの時みたいに出来るかな　心が作った街で起こった事
36.こんなに今生きている事　触ったら　同じように応えて37.
38.側にいて　行かないで　微笑んで　頷いて
39.側にいて　行かないで　重なって　音を聴いて
40.側にいて　行かないで　微笑んで　頷いて
41.今会えた　名前のない　涙に触らせて42.
43.どこだろう　今痛んだのは
44.どこだろう　あなたは光
