Sample:

Ranko: I wrote the lyrics. This grill wrote about YuyuYuka again…
This one is from Yuyuko’s viewpoint.
I’m of the faction that Yuyuko knows she is buried under the Saigyou Ayakashi, but I wrote the lyrics under the common opinion that she doesn’t have any memory of her lifetime. But she might realize it in the end. After all, ideas do stick out…
I’m very happy that Comp said the lyrics were good!!

Lyrics

変わり映えのしない毎年同じ春を
見つけて咲かせて終わる退屈
いつもと違うこと
そうだあの樹の下に眠った”何か”を起こしてみよう
kawaribae no shinai maitoshi onaji haru wo
mitsukete sakasete owaru taikutsu
itsumo to chigau koto
sou da ano ki no shita ni nemutta “nanika” wo okoshite miyou

「願わくは花の下にて」と
呪い今なお解けぬまま
“negawaku wa hana no moto nite” to
noroi ima nao tokenu mama

くるりくるり廻るえん ここにいれば良く見える
人の道を外れても 桜は綺麗で
kururi kururi mawaru en koko ni ireba yoku mieru
hito no michi wo hazuretemo sakura wa kirei de

「眠らせてあげれば、永遠が続くのに」
わびしく笑った貴女が言った
知らない誰かにはそんな顔見せるのね
心がきりりと痛みに鳴いた
“nemurasete agereba, eien ga tsudzuku noni”
wabishiku waratta anata ga itta
shiranai dareka ni wa sonna kaomiseru no ne
kokoro ga kiriri to itami ni naita

うらぶれた墓は誰からも
花を供えられないけど
urabureta haka wa darekara mo
hana wo sonaerarenai kedo

長い長い余生でも無余の涅槃には遠い
ただ春の夢の如し他愛もないこと
nagai nagai yosei demo muyo no nehan ni wa tooi
tada haru no yume no gotoshi taai mo nai koto

雪に交じる花びらは貴女の眼に良く似合う
くるりくるり廻るえん ここにいれば良く見える
人の道を外れても桜は綺麗で
真実はずっと埋めたままでいい
yuki ni majiru hanabira wa anata no me ni yoku niau
kururi kururi mawaru en koko ni ireba yoku mieru
hito no michi wo hazuretemo sakura wa kirei de
shinjitsu wa zutto umeta mama de ii

Translation

The same spring every year with no improvement
I find it and end up blooming, it’s boring
Something different from the usual
I know, let’s wake up “that something” that’s been sleeping under that tree

“I wish to see what’s under the flowers”
The curse is still not broken

A circle that turns around and around, you can see it better if you’re here
Even if I go off the moral path, the cherry blossoms are still beautiful

“Let her sleep, and eternity would last”
You said, with a dreary smile
You show such a face to someone I don’t know
My heart clenched in pain

But no one will leave flowers
For that desolate grave

Even in the long, long rest of my life, I’m far from being free from my body
Just like a dream of spring, a childish thing

The petals mixing with the snow suit your eyes
A circle that turns around and around, you can see it better if you’re here
Even if I go off the moral path, the cherry blossoms are still beautiful
The truth can stay buried forever
