about

Kyoto Daylight Recon
The timeframe for the plot stretches from winter 2012 until the summer of that same year, a time marked with eerie dreams. Selena, to whom the author addresses here, was born in Kyoto, a destination they both yearn for. However, there is another female character appearing in the dream sequence of this poem, and she is addressing the author as ⽗父 („father“). He recognizes her and in disbelief calls her by name „Siena“. She leaves him with a mysterious sentence 僕らをさまよわ („we hovered“)...

lyrics

Kyoto Daylight Recon

And yes, I know it’s daylight although I am not awake.
And yes, I fear of the amount of body shots I’m willing to take.
And now I know that Winged Lion in me is bleeding.
And yes, I know it’s winter although it is globally changed.
And yes, I fear that we might never ever visit Japan.
And now I know that Winged Lion in me is sleeping.
And now I know that Winged Lion in me is dreaming.
父
Siena?
僕
らをさまよわ
How could it be? You shouldn’t be here before 2023.
You even sound like her. Yet, we are still not ready for thee.
How could it be, musume? How could it be?
And yes, I know it’s winter although it is globally same.
And yes, I hope one day we just might visit Japan.
And now I know that Winged Lion in me is breathing.
Without you so self assured I’m no more.
I hoped that we’ll both be in the game.
May we never change.
This season brought us gold,
and that gold will be the foundation of our home,
built by our blood and our blood alone.
And then I realized we are four years behind
and it won’t be over anytime soon.
