TYOSiN - TWILIGHT (english translation)

Lol, he did both schoolboy and "gal" cosplay, and both looks are amazingly right and amazingly wrong on him. I love it. There's a kind of charmingly juvenile energy to a lot of TYOSiN's stuff, and I think this MV and the lyrics really highlight that aspect of him well.

Fanservice aside, what I think is so cool about TYOSiN is that this song and video are totally out of left field compared to his previous work, but they also still both feel totally on-brand for him. It's rare to find an artist with that kind of flexibility. I think it's so cool that he's brave (or reckless) enough to just randomly overhaul his style completely every few years. And, IMO, he manages to pull off the changes without losing the good qualities of the previous eras.



TWILIGHT

Lyrics: TYOSiN
Producer: ATSUKI

Oh, every day, every night
I was refining it
Just honing my sensitivity
It seems like I can grab hold of it, I’m gonna grab it
Just a bit more left to go, just a bit more

Oh, every day, every night
I was refining it
Just honing my sensitivity
It seems like I can grab hold of it, I’m gonna grab it
Just a bit more left to go, just a bit more

I couldn’t carry out my promise to break it all down,
I’m just flailing about
I’m still being knocked around in the underground,
But I’ve been able to find happiness in it
Like pulling in a frayed thread and cutting it short to repair the knot
I have countless regrets
But, well, I’ve reached a point where things aren’t bland
I was on a wide stage, basking in cheers
But I got sick of the me I’d become used to
“It’s not supposed to be like this, I still want to have fun”
I want to turn what I’ve been imagining into reality

I haven’t changed from that time
All that’s changed is the people around me
I’ll say it again,
“The people you surround yourself with are your mirror”
It’s just that, it’s still just that
So don’t be scared to say goodbye
Even if it’s messy, it’s beautiful
I want to love the version of myself that can believe that

Oh, every day, every night
I was refining it
Just honing my sensitivity
It seems like I can grab hold of it, I’m gonna grab it
Just a bit more left to go, just a bit more

That’s it, I’m at my limit, I’m at my limit
I want to die, I want to live
As I thought, it’s impossible
In this scrawl, I can feel the violence of words
I’m totally immersed in filling in this painted over blank space
It’s fun, it’s painful
It’s sad, it hurts
It’s filled with the full range of human emotions, future struggles, all of it
If it’s not real, it can’t move hearts
I turn the feelings I can’t tell others into songs
If I do one bad thing,
Then I’ll do 10 good ones to make up for it
My heart is dirty, but I’m dreaming
Don’t let go of your child-like mind

Surely, perhaps
Those negative feelings everyone has,
Even if they’re swallowed up by the devil*
It’s beautiful, it’s beautiful
The heart I denied
The ego kills people**
An ark that rides in on twilight
In twilight, I’ll say farewell

Oh, every day, every night
I was refining it
Just honing my sensitivity
It seems like I can grab hold of it, I’m gonna grab it
Just a bit more left to go, just a bit more

Notes:
