The Sadness of Things |
I called you dancing queen |
At the Quai des Brumes |
At Kamakura you said you’d like to paint tears |
On the neutral face of the Buddha |
In the season of storms |
We went walking in storms |
Just like a video, just like a symphony |
And for you, when things go wrong |
They go wrong for all the right reasons |
And when it gets warm you adapt with the seasons |
In a world of changing colours every colour has a meaning |
And the universe exists for the convenience of your feelings |
And as for me |
I know a different world |
A world where the sea |
Refuses to rage when boy loses girl |
Oh I know there’s comfort in sadness |
But I try to distinguish these passing emotions |
My unimportant existence |
From the great machine of the world’s indifference |
Mono no aware |
The sadness of things |
Mono no aware |
The temptation to see |
The world as it ought to be |
Mono no aware |
The sadness of things |
Blinded with tears |
I can still see |
My insignificance |
In an indifferent universe |
If I were you |
If I were beautiful |
Maybe the world |
Might seem more meaningful |
I grow old! |
I grow old! |
As the winter comes on and the sky grows cold |
But you stay as young as the rays of the sun |
On the sparkling machinery you call your destiny |
Mono no aware |
The sadness of things |
Mono no aware |
The temptation to see |
The world as it ought to be |
Mono no aware |
The thunder and rain |
Sharing our pain |
…My insignificance |
In an indifferent universe |
Do I dare to eat a peach? |
Do I dare to walk the beach? |
And if I dare to eat a peach |
If I should care to shed a tear |
Could I claim more for my action |
Than selfish satisfaction? |
(Stock mammalian reflex, biochemical reaction) |
Mono no aware |
The sadness of things |
As if things felt anything |
Mono no aware |
The temptation to see |
The world as it ought to be |
Mono no aware |
The thunder and rain |
Sharing our pain |
Blinded by tears |
I can still see |
My insignificance |
In an indifferent universe |
