ALICE NINE - SLEEPWALKER

SLEEPWALKER
Lyrics: Shou
Music: alice nine.
Arrangement: alice nine.

tabibito ga tadoritsuita saki wa
koe no nai gareki ga tsumikasanaru tou no shita

nee kimi yo naze kimi wa hoshita no?
ai to iu kanbina hibiki no ringo wo

tenohira sashinobete mo
hanarete, hodoketeyuku zutto soko ni aru no ni

mabuta no naka utsushidashita hibi
kioku no iro yasashii kedo furerarenai

akeyuku sora meguru sekai made
yume to iu gekijyou de yasuragi to tomo ni

ikudome no asa ga kuru gitaa ni yorisoi
tsumahiku merodii kuru hazu no nai kimi e omoi haseteta
douka tomaranai tokei wo kizamasete

ginga no ame kounen no kioku
itsu kara darou? wasurenu mama toki wa sugite
iroasenai utsukushiki kioku (saisei)
furishikiru yuki wo koe kimi no moto e yukou

SLEEPWALKER

The destination that the traveller has finally reached
It's below the silent tower amassed from rubble

Hey, you, why do you desire it so?
The apple of sweet echo called "love" (1)

Even if I stretch out my hand
We separate and come apart, even though you're always there

The days reflected in my eyelids
The colour of memories is gentle, but I can't touch it

The sky dawns as far as the revolving world
Together with peace, in the theatre called "dreams"

Morning comes for the umpteenth time, I nestle close to my guitar
I don't think you'll come, the melody I pick out is sent towards you (2)
Please, let the watch that doesn't stop be carved (3)

The rain of the Milky Way, memories of a light year (4)
I wonder when it began? Without forgetting, time passes
The beautiful memories don't fade
I'll surpass the snow that falls incessantly and go to where you are

Translator's Note:
1. This sounds strange, but it's a literal translation. I couldn't think of another way to put it without losing the original meaning.
2. "sent": The meaning of "sent" actually encompasses his thoughts and feelings. It's pretty hard to explain, but you can think of it as him sending his feelings with the song to the other party.
3. same as (1).
4. "memories of a light year": I think he means memories that stretch as long as a light year, rather than memories of a light year.
