Posting... Again.

With some added stuff.

This time, I want to add in the song [which is available on shelves now], along with another song for Full Metal Alchemist. The lyrics for Again are VERY closely knit to my heart, and it actually seems to really reflect what's going on. No emo posting here, ok! =)

Here's the full song [No, no download links obviously!]
Click me!

What I really want you guys to notice however, is this one:
The shorter version of the song, used in the anime itself-



And now, the lyrics for the short version, cause I think it summarizes too many things I feel...

この想いを 消してしまうには　
Kono omoi wo keshiteshimau niwa
I've still got a lot of years ahead of me

まだ人生長いでしょ?
Mada jinsei nagai desho
To just erase these feelings?

やり残してること
Yarinoshiteru koto
I want to go back and finish

やり直してみたいから
Yarinaoshite mitai kara
The things that I've yet to finish.

夢のつづき　追いかけていたはずなのに
Yume no tsuzuki oikaketeita hazu nanoni
I was supposed to be chasing after my ongoing dream,

曲がりくねった 細い道 人につまずく
Magarikunetta hosoi michi hito ni tsumazuku
Yet I faltered over others while walking this thin, winding path.

あの頃みたいにって　戻りたいわけじゃないの
Ano koro mitainitte modoritai wake ja nai no
It's not that I want to return to those days.

無くしてきた空を 探してる
Nakushitekita sora wo sagashiteru
I'm searching for the sky I lost.

わかってくれますように
Wakatte kuremasu youni
Don't make that sad face, as if you've fallen victim.

犠牲になったような　悲しい顔はやめてよ
Gisei ni natta youna kanashii kao wa yameteyo
As if you want people to pity you.

罪の最後は涙じゃないよ
Tsumi no saigo wa namida ja nai yo
Tears aren't the end of your sins.

ずっと苦しく背負ってくんだ
Zutto kurushiku seottekunda
You have to bear them painfully, forever.

出口見えない感情迷路に
Deguchi mienai kanjoumeiro ni
Who are you waiting for in the maze of emotions,

誰を待ってるの
Dare wo matteruno
Where you can't even see the exit?

白いノートに綴ったように
Shiroi nooto ni tsuzutta youni
I want to blurt it out more justly,

もっと素直に吐き出したいよ
Motto sunao ni hakidashitai yo
Just like how I wrote it in my white notebook.

何から 逃れたいんだ
Nani kara nogaretainda
What do you want to run from?

現実ってやつ
Genjitsu tte yatsu
That thing called "reality"?

叶えるために　生きてるんだって
Kanaeru tame ni ikiterundatte
I just want to scream out,

叫びたくなるよ　聞こえていますか
Sakebitaku naru yo kikoeteimasuka
"I'm only living to fulfill my wish." Can you hear me?

無難になんて やってられないから　
Bunan ni nante yatterarenaikara
I can't take the safe way out of everything.

帰る場所もないの
Kaeru basho mo nai no
I don't even have a place to return to.

優しさには いつも感謝してる
Yasashisa ni wa itsumo kansha shiteru
I'm always thankful for everyone's kindness,

だから強くなりたい (I'm on the way)
Dakara tsuyoku naritai
That's why I want to become stronger. (I'm on the way)

懐かしくなる
Natsukashiku naru
This is reminding me of the old days.

こんな痛みも歓迎じゃん
Konna itami mo kangei jan
This pain is all right with me.

WHEW! That took me some time to set up, especially when I'm trying to learn Japanese at the same time xD! It was a really fun thing to do, I hope you guys like it. Not sure how it's going to turn out yet though.

Anyway, the above lyrics are credits to:
http://isharetoyou.blogspot.com/2009/04/fullmetal-alchemist-op-theme-yui-again.html
as well as massive references to Eclipse. Without both of these I don't think I can actually get this out.

Of course, as always, it's not necessarily 100% accurate, but it's the closest as it can get already. Hope you all enjoy it, Again!

Maybe you can infer some stuff from the lyrics, maybe not. I'm not going to say much about anything, but this has definitely been one of the most interesting blog posts I've made [to me].

Enjoy! Another post is coming up in a few minutes...
