Kagerou Days [English Adaptation Lyrics]

On the 15^th of August that day

At 12:30 PM, I had felt that feeling stay by my side

The weather was still nice

It was mixed with light from the sun

And it told everyone that this strange phenomena had begun

I spoke to you at once, but we didn’t have a clue what it meant

“Well, you know that I hate all this heat”

That’s what you said to me as you idled by as this mood repeats

Then, as you chased after the stray cat, it started running into the busy street up ahead

And in that one frozen instant the light turned red

In a flash a truck had sped across the street

As it hit you, you fell down, knocked right off your feet

Your scent was cast in the air, blood was splattered everywhere

I was frozen in time there gasping without a sound

Feeling that feeling within a haze of lies

The Heat Haze distorted what had met my eyes

As chirping crickets called out, my mind was cast here in doubt

And the blue sky then turned to black and went away

When I woke up all I heard was silence

And the ticking of the clock that counts on with a sound

What time is it now?

On the 14^th of August, that’s today

At some time past 12, I got up and went on my merry way

I recall the annoying sound of a cricket calling out

But as you know this set of events is so strange

I dreamt that we were walking in this park about now in this exact scene

“Hey, isn’t it time that we left?”

The second you stepped off the road to go cross the street

A solid object came down to a rest at my feet

From above came a heavy metal pole

That then pierced through your body with a bloody hole

The sound of windchimes weaving

The sound of your throat screaming

Filled up the air of that former-peaceful day that broke

In the unreal scene where silence seemed to ring

The shimmer of Heat Haze said “This is the real thing!”

As sight was blurred from my eyes

I looked to you in surprise

Why were you smiling as if this was all a joke?

All these times that my vision blackened out

All the heat would laugh at me as I would scream and shout

This recursion spans for decades now

I had realized how it was long ago somehow

In this story that is made up of cliché

I know that there is one outcome as the only way

Still beyond this summer date there must be another fate

In that instant I had pushed you to the side

And after a moment, the truck had hit me

The horror within your eyes, much like the pain of my tries

Reflected in the blood that sprayed out on the ground

If the laughing of that spiteful Heat Haze

Said “It serves you right” for surviving those days

Then you could say that this end was what should have then happened

But all of that now blurs to black and fades away

On the 14^th of August right at dawn

This one girl got up and asked herself “What the hell is going on?

Nobody replied

“Well it seems that I have failed once more”

That’s all that she said as she cradled the cat right by the door
