Ghosts Over Japan
Journey Amidst Sinking Stones: Ghosts Over Japan
Lyrics
Sometimes we can see the skylines rise above these fields of sinking stones,
Sometimes, amidst sinking stones, we witness skylines rising above.
Crawling away from the sun again.
We're persistently moving away from the sunlight.
Feels like forever since this all began,
It feels like an eternity since this journey began.
And these prayers of mine are lost in this house of sand.
My prayers seem futile and lost in a transient, unstable place.
And we float away like the ghosts over Japan.
We drift away like ethereal figures reminiscent of ghosts above Japan.
And they float away like the wind, like the wind.
Others also float away, akin to the wind's transient nature.
And will you stay with me, or will you leave me?
Uncertainty about staying together or parting ways.
We can change this world forever.
An assertion that together we have the power to make lasting changes in the world.
Look outside your window and see,
Encouragement to observe the deteriorating state of the world through your window.
The world as it starts crumbling down again, here we go.
Witnessing the world crumbling down once more, indicating a cyclical pattern.
Stay with me, wait with me, we can see down again, here we go.
An urging to stay and wait together amidst witnessing the decline once again.
Stay with me, wait with me, we can see down again, here we go.
Repeated plea to remain together while facing the decline.
Down again and here we go.
Expressing a sense of repetition as the decline begins anew.
Walk away into this dream,
Repetition of walking into a dreamlike state, possibly suggesting escapism.
Walk away into this dream,
-Walk away into this dream,
-It will end with me.
An implication that this dream-like state will conclude with the speaker.
