Dir en grey Translation

A translation of Lareine’s “Dir en grey” from their album “Reine de fleur II”. I haven’t been able to find an explanation for the title of this song (or for the band who is said to have taken their name from this song (don’t quote me on that no one knows for sure)), though the “grey” part is evident in the lyrics.

花を千切る僕を見た君は怯える
Hana wo chigiru boku wo mita kimi ha obieru
Looking at me who tore the flowers into pieces, you are afraid.

思い出の中で自然に絡まる恐怖
詰め込んで蓋を閉じて二人で踊るのずっと。。。
Omoide no naka de shizen ni karamaru kyoufu
Tsumekonda futa wo tojite futari de odoru no zutto...
The fear naturally twined into the memories,
And jamming the lid shut, we'll dance forever.

想いはいつも儚くて虹と重なる
Omoi ha itsumo hakanakute niji to kasanaru
Memories always overlap with the transient rainbows.
思い出の中で自然に絡まる恐怖
甘えた声で誘う。。。悪戯な
Omoide no naka de shizen ni karamaru kyoufu
Amaeta koe de sasou... itazura na
The fear naturally twined into the memories
Invites me with a sweet voice... how mischievous.

泣いてた悲劇を"あなた"を確かめた僕は
いつかの言葉は無にしよう
幼すぎた約束
Naiteta higeki wo "anata" wo tashikameta boku ha
Itsuka no kotoba ha mu ni shiyou
Osanasugita yakusoku
Surely the tragedy that was cried, and you will
Leave me with no words.
What a childish promise.

自然に絡まる恐怖
甘えた声で誘う。。。悪戯な"あなた"
Omoide no naka de jizen ni karamaru kyoufu
Amaeta koe de sasou... Itazura na "anata"
Naturally twined into the memories,
Invites me with a sweet voice... you’re so mischievous!

泣いてた悲劇を"あなた"を確かめた僕は
いつかの言葉は無にしよう
幼すぎた約束
Naiteta higeki wo "anata" wo tashikameta boku ha
Itsuka no kotoba ha mu ni shiyou
Osanasugita yakusoku
Surely the tragedy that was cried, and you will
Leave me with no words.
What a childish promise.

もう灰色の"わたし"には何も見えなくて
優しく包み込む
腕は僕じゃない
僕じゃない
Mou haiiro no "watashi" ni ha nani mo mienakute
Yasashiku tsutsumikomu
Ude ha boku ja nai
Boku ja nai
You can no longer see anything in the ashen-grey me.
Gently, you wrap me up.
I'm not the one in your arms.
It isn't me...
