AIの短評
「Your words were wine at twilight」「a crooked scale of excuses」など、比喩表現が非常に巧みで、言葉選びに強い個性とセンスを感じます。特に「The angel’s letter I believed in rotted unopened in silence」は、信じていたものが虚しく朽ちていく情景が鮮烈に浮かび、心に残ります。全体を通して、皮肉と諦念が入り混じった独特のムードが保たれており、読み手の心に深く響くでしょう。韻律も自然で、英語詞としての響きも良いです。サビの「Waiting for Michaelmas」というフレーズが繰り返されることで、焦燥感と諦めが強調され、強い印象を残します。
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Your words were wine at twilight,
“Tomorrow I’ll reply♡” — sweet, clouded, fading away.
The angel’s letter I believed in
rotted unopened in silence.
A lie that crossed another date line
still lingers in the air today.
[Chorus 1]
Waiting for Michaelmas,
while time remains unmoved.
Upon a crooked scale of excuses,
you place your love and let it sway.
Your “tomorrow” is always
the shadow of yesterday.
Each time I call an angel’s name,
the bubbles of cheap chūhai sink away.
[Verse 2]
At two o’clock in the morning,
another song of self-pity.
“Je ne me sens pas bien…”
the same old charm again.
Playing the part of kindness,
while sleeping with desire alone.
A cocktail of painkillers and lies
carries you into dreams.
[Chorus 2]
Waiting for Michaelmas,
promises evaporate.
O ghost who speaks of love
through the bubbles of a highball glass.
Your “tomorrow” is always
someone else’s fault.
Instead of prayer,
an unopened courier remains.
[Bridge]
And once again today,
you will probably sing:
“The Archangel judged me unfairly.”
Your blade catches a dull reflection,
careful never to touch the truth.
[Last Chorus]
Waiting for Michaelmas,
all blessings fade into silence.
Beyond the river of lies you cross,
no angel waits for you now.
Still I shall sound
the final trumpet call:
“To the one who never replied—
an eternal Michaelmas.”
