Light of the Eyelid.

I'm often drawn to J-Pop lyrics(and the "genre" itself) due to their melodramatic, often forcefully direct imagery and emotion. Couple them with singers who exude a heartbreakingly frail sincerity through soft, whisper like verses and I'm just swimming in the energy and mood that these songs tend to radiate.

Fanboy? Nah...

So without further delay, I present the lyrics to one of my favorite J-Pop ballads, perhaps you'll begin to grasp what I'm referring to.


Selenite - By Rurutia


Ah, wavering torch light in a city of rubble.
The resounding, transparent music echoes my wish.
Now, the burning sky that had fallen has sunk to the bottom of the water
...the full moon shines

Ah...

The night, burning blue colors you.
Even as I tightly embrace those oh-so-frail shoulders
I feel as though you'll vanish.

Ah, the countless grains of stars at the far reaches of the universe.
I found it, I even felt dizzy at our first meeting.
Swallowed up by the gold and silver wave of light raining down.
...we two make our way to the sacred river.

Ah...

With each sweet surge, it makes my heart tremble.
I always want to hold you like this forever.
So that you'll never vanish.

Swallowed up by the gold silver wave of light raining down.
...we two make our way to that sacred river.

Ah...

The night, burning blue colors you.
Even as I tightly embrace those oh-so-frail shoulders.
...I feel as though you'll vanish.

With each sweet surge...
...it makes my heart tremble.
I always want to hold you like this forever.
So that you'll never vanish.
