For LYRICS in english click on "read more". When I first heard this song I immediatelly fell in love with it, partly because of the amazing instrumentals and mostly because of LIQ's incredible tunig of Yuzuki Yukari, she sounds so clear and mature and kind of sad (which fits with the song as you will shortly see). I couldn't find a translation for the lyrics so I made an attempt of translating them myself from the only other lyrics video I could find, which was in french... As I am not french I had to use quite a bit of internet magic and I hope these lyrics are somewhat correct. I think they make a lot of sense so I hope this is helping others who whish to know what this song is about. Also english isn't my first language either, so please bear with me if some things I write sound stiff or awkward, I'm doing my best :D Lyrics: I sink into this world extending to the abyss. Everything at the end of these unfinished projects in monochrome reality. I wish by stretching my ear out in silence. To be able to hear even a tiny fragment of voice. I feel the slightest breath as if the world were frozen. At the very end of these forecasts of a distant past future. I think that this sea of rubble can be described as.... "beautiful" with smiles... unless it's crying? Life and death, light and shadow. All is two sides of the same coin. Love and hate, past and future. All is two sides of the same coin. Night and day, happiness and sorrow. All is two sides of the same coin. Healing and pain, you and me. What should I believe? iolite. If, for example, tomorrow, the world were to change, what would you do? "Well, I think I'm..." Such words do nothing but pierce my chest. Shine, iolite. Light this dark path with your colored light. For many years and for many more years. We are in a sad world, but also a beautiful one. So, please tell me. How long do you think I walked? Please tell me. How long do you think I should walk? Please tell me. Before my eyes no longer perceive the colors. I would like to reincarnate as a light bearing thoughts. I feel this world forgotten despite its struggles. At the very end of these dreams of futures hidden in our hearts. I think that having such ephemeral dreams should be described as... "beautiful"... unless there are tears? Life and death, light and shadow. All is two sides of the same coin. Love and hate, past and future. All is two sides of the same coin. Night and day, happiness and sorrow. All is two sides of the same coin. Healing and pain, you and me. What should I believe? iolite. If, for example, time were to stop tomorrow, what would you do? "Good question, I think..." It is in such words that I now want to believe. Sparkle, iolite. Enlighten the way for these helpless Humans. For many years and for many more years. We are in a good world, but also a cruel one. So, please lead me. Where should I go now? Please lead me. What should I do now? Please lead me. Before my hands turn to ashes. Immerse this sky in your sparkling light. A few notes to add: iolite refers to a blue/purple gem (much the same colour as Yuzuki Yukari) which gets its name from the latin word "iol" meaning purple. As the vikings used the stone to determine the position of the sun when at sea and it has the reputation of being a good luck charm for sailors, as it was used as a guiding stone. Much as it is asked in this song to guide her, because she doesn't know where to go or what to do, also "helpless humans" could refer to humans in general not being able to progress without guidance. (I stole some of this from the french lyrics video and translated to here because I thought it was interesting). Edit: UA-cam somehow destroys the alignment of the lines, I hope it's fixed now.
Thank you for this. I love LIQ songs but is so hard to translate or find some translation. I looked for the translation of this song some time ago and couldn't find anything. It's good to know that there still are people who cares about them :D

Lyrics:
I sink into this world extending to the abyss.
Everything at the end of these unfinished projects in monochrome reality.
I wish by stretching my ear out in silence.
To be able to hear even a tiny fragment of voice.
I feel the slightest breath as if the world were frozen.
At the very end of these forecasts of a distant past future.
I think that this sea of rubble can be described as....
"beautiful" with smiles... unless it's crying?
Life and death, light and shadow.
All is two sides of the same coin.
Love and hate, past and future.
All is two sides of the same coin.
Night and day, happiness and sorrow.
All is two sides of the same coin.
Healing and pain, you and me.
What should I believe?
iolite.
If, for example, tomorrow, the world were to change,
what would you do?
"Well, I think I'm..."
Such words do nothing but pierce my chest.
Shine, iolite.
Light this dark path with your colored light.
For many years and for many more years.
We are in a sad world, but also a beautiful one.
So, please tell me.
How long do you think I walked?
Please tell me.
How long do you think I should walk?
Please tell me.
Before my eyes no longer perceive the colors.
I would like to reincarnate as a light bearing thoughts.
I feel this world forgotten despite its struggles.
At the very end of these dreams of futures hidden in our hearts.
I think that having such ephemeral dreams should be described as...
"beautiful"... unless there are tears?
Life and death, light and shadow.
All is two sides of the same coin.
Love and hate, past and future.
All is two sides of the same coin.
Night and day, happiness and sorrow.
All is two sides of the same coin.
Healing and pain, you and me.
What should I believe?
iolite.
If, for example, time were to stop tomorrow,
what would you do?
"Good question, I think..."
It is in such words that I now want to believe.
Sparkle, iolite.
Enlighten the way for these helpless Humans.
For many years and for many more years.
We are in a good world, but also a cruel one.
So, please lead me.
Where should I go now?
Please lead me.
What should I do now?
Please lead me.
Before my hands turn to ashes.
Immerse this sky in your sparkling light.
