Genius English Translations
Hakushi Hasegawa 長谷川白紙 - Doku 毒 (English Translation)
Within the bubbling and trembling water
I notice beads solidifying
I'll slip through quickly
I'll imitate the beads
That's what I try to do
And the water rushes against me, sweeping my body away
Toward a mountain forged out of electricity
Yes, that's where I'm headed
The waves have a uniform velocity
I bob up and down as I float away with a look in my eyes
Knocking down fences
Two, three...
I expand my skin and dive in
My body inflates and I make
A bit of eye contact until I encroach upon the ice
I check the water's surface and see
It has poison in it
I breathe it in
And regardless of whether anyone can see me
I make a beautiful face as a light shines on me
Within the bubbling and trembling water
I notice an improving screen resolution
There's an LCD tatami mat in my eyes
Hidden by my eyes’ expressions
The water rushes against me, sweeping my body away
Toward a mountain forged out of electricity
Yes, that's where I'm headed
The waves have a uniform velocity
To a bending sandy beach
Atop the water's glimmering surface
It's like I'm waiting for currents
If I touch something I'll sink and pop open
I have poison in me
I breathe it in
And encounter a jumble of things poking though the water
One of them hits my body and makes it happen
Regardless of whether anyone can see me
A pattern of lights searches for me
