Just another quick post with the lyrics for weave’s split album with fog.
For fans of bluebeard, mineral, Jimmy Eat World?????
fog’s songs will each be their own posts, because transcribing the lyrics from the book, then translating them takes a lot out of me, because I am actually not a good translator. Notably, weave’s lyrics are in English, but the Japanese “translations” in the book are kind of weird? So it’s hard to tell what’s what, especially for their song “freesia.”
As a note, the phrase “favorite number” (in the song “slow down still more”) means “favorite music.” This was something I didn’t know, but it’s in the translated lyrics and I’ve seen the phrase multiple times in Japanese media already since learning it (for example, SB69…).
You can support the band at their label Further Platonics or their own website.
There is a bandcamp, but no songs are available for streaming.
And digital downloading only is not available.
The easiest way to purchase weave’s music is through Strange Tales Records distro.
Check him out, he’s a cool guy.

2. heart bleeds blue
I’m not hear anything
You didn’t give me answer.
I can’t disappear as if it never existed.
I almost cry when I think of that.
With a smile on your face.
Keep the worry out of my voice.
If I could say “Everything’s going to be all right.”
I could find a right path.
Distant future, I’ll never forget.
I promise you forever.
I can’t face as if again in that moment.
But I always try to avoid the inevitable.

4. freesia
You said “I’m doing fine.”
“You know. No one is to blame. Don’t blame yourself.”
I’m stumped for kind words.
You standed at the brink of tears.
My hands were tied.
Behind the closed eyelids.
I recall the words as if one heard them yesterday.
I heard that before.
I standed to look at your face.
You look a sight.
We can’t change the past.
And I’m quite sure what went wrong.
I knew it couldn’t last.
Go down with you.
I’m feeling things.
I’ll take your words.
I change neither for the better nor for the worse.
That was the only way I could think of you.
I’ll take your words.
I change neither for the better nor for the worse.
I’ve a gut feeling that it’s going to end sometime soon.
You said “Have to go.”
“You know. You only have to worry about yourself.”
You said kind words.
And standed at the brink of tears.
My hands were tied.
As time goes along.
I’ve change that only have to worry about myself.
I’m stumped for kind words.
I’m still reminded of you now and again.

6. slow down still more
I remember seeing him somewhere.
We talked about favorite numbers.
He creeped out of this place unnoticed with no farewells.
We’ve come this far.
So we can’t stop.
But we’re short on time.
All right already.
We don’t have time to worry about him.
At the same time and place.
I recall well the time we spent.
Remind myself “Don’t look back.”
We have our own way.
That’s what I keep telling myself.
Come December. It seems that something is amiss here.
I thought about it but decided not to.
I figure out that I can’t put myself in your place.
Progress.
Slowly but surely, now.
Someday…
I knew this day would come.
Remind yourself. “I can take back.”
We have our own way.
That’s what I keep telling myself.
That’s what I keep telling ourself.
