panopticon from ekkolaptómenos by HARU NEMURI 春ねむり

引き裂かれたまま誰もが眠る
音のないゆりかごのなか震えて
塞いだはずの鍵穴を照らす
赤信号 ぼくを逃がさない
Everyone sleeps while being torn apart
Trembling within a cradle of silence
Illuminating the keyhole that was supposed to be sealed
Red light, won’t let me escape

深淵を覗き込めいますぐ
魂の暗がりをゆけ ゆけ！
Stare into the abyss, right now
Go, go! Into the gloom of the soul

（あまねく見よ
ちからの在処）
(Behold all around
the place where power resides)

Who’s waiting for me

Who’s waiting for me

時として世界　子ども　父母
怪物　幽霊　愛や祈り
「おまえの塔に座すものは何？」
問い続ける反射に見出す答え
At times the world, children, parents
monsters, ghosts, love and prayer
“What sits in your tower?”
Finding answers in the reflection of endless queries

まなざしの不在がもたらす夜
魂の暗がりとゆけ　ゆけ！
The night brought by the absence of a gaze
Go, go! with the gloom of the soul

（あまねく見よ
ちからの在処）
(Behold all around
the place where power resides)

Who’s waiting for me
