Aimer – escalate (English Translation Lyrics)[NieR:Automata Ver1.1a Opening Song]
Year: 2023
Lyrics:
Who sings this song about us pain and sorrow?
I pretended to be done with it as I stared at a mirrored Karma
Recurring pain Admiration I’ve yet to experience
The weight of my sin nails me down, even though I struggle
Is it the future falling? It’s like idolatry
The slightest footsteps of anxiety Despair of all
Emptiness follows you here This never-ending war
Rewind back to a future I want to believe in
I couldn’t forgive, so I escalate, escalate
I need someone to cast their eyes down
Pray in my name, pray to ancient times Every time I break, I reconnect
Again and again and again, as if to spiral, one thing
Why must you continue battling? Is what you cannot discard
Trivial, or is it credible hope? The needle quivers
Searching to find the truth, there’s no tomorrow
Pretending to come to a realization, I searched for a dream I’d never be awakened from
Same vision repeats itself A paradise about to collapse
The end result of resistance is resisting me
I must be near to break down Release me, I’m in pain
Rewrite this world to one where we trust in each other, now
Couldn’t blend in, so I escalate, escalate
I can live and die for running through the sky
Give me a name – the voice I managed to gasp out by giving it a name
Again and again and again, the Karma of the storm, always
Are you still fighting back? What’s burned into memory
Might be a leaking light, or the broken remains Shadows waver
I couldn’t forgive, and I escalate, escalate
I need someone to cast their eyes down
Pray in my name, pray to ancient times Every time I break, I reconnect
Again and again and again, as if to spiral, one thing
Why must you continue battling? Is what you cannot discard
Trivial, or is it credible hope? The needle quivers
Pray in my name
