Sense of Destiny
Suddenly struck by this feeling
Life is like a grand ship, seemingly magnificent
But actually uncontrollably sinking into the deep sea
The shores of happiness are unreachable and unattainable
At this moment, there is only a deck soaked in water
Tilting, sinking gradually
Let's name it the "Deck of Happiness"
Struggling to stand up
Wringing the water from my clothes
Dancing on this deck of happiness
I am left with only this small world
It sways on the sea
But it separates me from the deep sea
The face in front of me is changing
The cellist resembles an old friend
The percussionist seems to be a travel companion from the past
The sound of the strings is melancholic
The faces on the stage
The faces in the audience
In life, there are bonds and countless passing faces
At this moment, they change and merge
Finally becoming one, with no difference
Emperors and wandering monks, kings and beggars, the powerful and village women...
The elderly, children, men and women...
All are faces
I sincerely believe that everything in the world can be forgiven
Because all evil
Is also my own evil
Before falling into the boundless deep sea
Greedily sucking up the summer rain and dew
Indulging in illusions
The violin cries until the very last moment
Laughing heartily until the very last moment
Throwing away the shoes, calmly walking into the deep sea
Entering into silence
