Carmine | ELLEGARDEN
(An Elaborated English Lyrical Interpretation)
[Verse 1] I clutched that envisioned future in my hand,digging my nails in, desperate to hold it fast.
But it blurred into indistinct colors before my eyes,
fading from sight entirely.
It was washed away in a vivid, overwhelming red—
a crimson so deep it drowns out even the brightest hues of summer.
In that moment, it felt as if our very voices were being erased,
silenced without a trace. [Chorus] So let’s step forward with these feet of ours that have stopped,
let’s find our movement again.
Our path isn’t found by passively accepting these convenient, fake lies.
I will trade every single one of these countless mornings for a promise;
I will sacrifice them all for the dream we once saw together,
for the future we believed in. [Verse 2] This wish of ours is transparent, pure in its intent,
yet now it’s cracked with countless tiny fractures.
Despite its fragile state,
it still reflected your essence so completely;
it looked so much like your colors.
And on the breeze that wrapped around us like a summer night’s embrace,
I could almost hear a faint voice,
still wandering, still searching for a way home. [Chorus] So let’s step forward with these feet of ours that have stopped,
let’s find our courage again.
Our truth isn’t found in ignoring the falsehoods we see every day.
I will trade every single one of these countless mornings for a vow;
I will dedicate them all for the dream we once saw together,
to make it real again. [Bridge] My gaze is fixed on the distant horizon,
where the very sky appears to rust and decay
the longer I stand here watching,
the more I feel the urgency to move. [Chorus] So let’s step forward with these feet of ours that have stopped,
let’s walk once more.
With the time we have left right now, let’s bloom proudly and without regret.
I will trade every single one of these countless mornings for an oath;
I will pledge them all for the dream we once saw,
and let its color be our guide.
