If you were living
In the depths of the ocean,
I would become a fish
Just to be with you.
I would descend the deepest of pits,
Wander the darkness forever as a shadow
Just to be with you.
Our memories still drift vividly
I had been drowning in my own sorrow
You're gone
I know
I know
The sun rises, rises, purifies my world
A tepid wind carries off the tattoo carved into my mind.
If it would bring these
Words to you
Then I would gladly
Sacrifice my voice
A vivid scar and this despair
Your warmth that overwhelms all my sadness
I yearned for it
Yearned for it
Even if it is just an illusion.
The fading, fading warmth takes me away
I want to fall asleep in your forgiving embrace
The sun rises, rises, purifies my world
I want to fall asleep in your forgiving embrace
The fading, fading warmth takes me away
A tepid wind carries off the tattoo carved into my mind
Memories are wearing thin with time.
I'm like an earring without its needle.
I forget, it all fades,
Your voice vanishes amidst the noise of a crowd.
It falls apart, I lose my grip,
I'm like an earring without its needle.
I forget, without a trace,
Your voice becomes static.

Lyrics
If you're still alive, under the sea,
I'll cut off both my legs and become a fish.
If you come close enough for me to fall into the depths,
I'll become a shadow, wandering the endless darkness.
Entrancingly drifting in the air, my shimmering haze,
I only remembered the days that weren't granted to us.
You're not here.
I know that. I know that.
Rising, rising, the sun
Purifies this place.
The seal carved in blue
Is stolen away by the warm, warm wind.
If these words ever reach you,
I'll take my living body and throw it away.
A present [as in "now" not "gift"] that has erased my vivid wounds -
Your warmth that steals everything -
I longed for them, I searched for them
Even though they're illusions.
Vanishing, vanishing, your warmth
Follows me to this place.
Your arms that could wipe away even punishment -
I want to sleep embracing them.
Rising, rising, the sun
Purifies this place.
Your arms that could wipe away even punishment -
I want to sleep embracing them.
Vanishing, vanishing, your warmth
Follows me to this place.
The seal carved in blue
Is stolen away by the warm, warm wind.
The splinters of memories are rotting away.
The piercings that fill me aren't enough.
I'm forgetting - it's blurring -
Your voice disappears in the noise.
They're rotting, they're shedding -
The piercings that fill me aren't enough.
Without leaving a trace - I'm forgetting -
Your voice is becoming noise.

たとえば海の?底で
?あなたが生きてるのなら
私は?二本の足を切って
魚になろう
深みへ?堕ちるほどに
?あなたが近づくのなら
?果てない闇を?彷徨う陰に
なってもいい
艶やかに漂う?わたしの陽炎
叶わない現実に溺れていただけ
あなたはいない
わかっている
わかっている
昇る昇る太陽が
わたしの場所を浄化する
青く刻む刻印を
温い温い風がさらっていく
たとえばこの言葉が
あなたに届くのならば
わたしの声帯を取り上げて
捨ててもいい
鮮やかな傷を失くした現在を
何もかも奪うあなたの温度を
求めていた
求めていた
幻でも
消える消えるぬくもりが
わたしの場所を連れていく
罰を拭うその腕に
抱かれながら眠りにつきたい
昇る昇る太陽が
わたしの場所を浄化する
罰を拭うその腕に
抱かれながら眠りたい
消える消えるぬくもりが
わたしの場所を連れていく
青く刻む刻印を
温い温い風がさらっていく
蝕んでいく 記憶の破片
わたしを塞ぐピアスが足りない
忘れてしまう ぼやけてしまう
あなたの聲が雑踏に消える
蝕んでいく 抜け落ちていく
わたしを塞ぐピアスが足りない
跡形もなく 忘れてしまう
あなたの聲が雑踏になる

PV (Music Video)

The Koe PV has a similar atmosphere to Fatal Frame III: the colours are subdued and the main colour used is blue. In it, Tsukiko Amano sports a tattoo similar to the characters in the game.
The PV takes place under the sea, tying it in with the song lyrics.
