Lilas – Actor Lyrics (English Translation)

[Verse 1]
Dancing silhouettes,
Perched on our titles and our status.
Let’s tuck our true feelings away in our chest pockets.
The sparse sound of footsteps
Throws our rhythm off the beat,
But even that strange noise feels comforting to me.

[Verse 2]
Through these hectic, chaotic days,
We walk along with mismatched strides.
But in the palm of your hand, connected to mine,
I can feel a genuine warmth inside.

[Chorus]
Everyone’s an actor, dressed up and dancing.
But even so, somewhere,
In the gaps between your words and mine, I see it peeking through.
The more we toss our feelings back and forth,
The more we find a strange and sweet relief.
Though these days will surely end someday,
For now, I’m still hoping for tomorrow,
For this chaotic and beautifully distorted “us.”

[Verse 3]
As the sun goes down, the silhouettes all start to blur.
We put on different faces and run through the night,
Chasing that ideal of seeming perfect and so bright,
As if for us, nothing were impossible.

[Verse 4]
Worn out and exhausted, this battered, bruised heart of mine,
The only light that keeps it holding on
Is a quiet promise that I made to myself, someday.

[Bridge]
The stella that fill the sky I look up to,
Each and every one of them
Holds different memories as they float there lonely, twinkling lights.
If I could decipher the inner workings of your hidden heart,
Well, some days I’d still worry, even as we misunderstand.
Yet even with our mismatched hearts, I still want to face you.
Love is hiding in the things we cannot see.

[Final Chorus]
Everyone’s an actor, dressed up and dancing.
But even so, here we are,
Hand in hand, connected, today we also draw
A story we have yet to see.
These unshakable feelings will someday
Surpass the script they wrote for you and me.
Because these days will end someday,
For now, I just want to dance gracefully
Through this chaotic and distorted world.
