内なるプリズムは我々の自己を内側へと引き寄せ 現在と未来をつなぐ
この試験管の中に誰の存在を感じますか？
わたしが演じたのは守護天使の役
未来の自己は闇を過ちとは見做さない
圧力下で石炭はダイヤモンドへと変容する
比喩を超え光を記憶する者こそ われわれの双子
無重力と密度 その均衡の難しさを理解している複製だ
それは競争における勝敗の役割、
そして自己肯定感がゲームにどのように影響したか理解している
わたしがちらりと見ると 頭蓋骨は静かにその言葉を囁いた
絶えることのない咀嚼を止め料理の腕前を分かちあった、
賢明で自己啓発的な動物に感謝する
物語は永遠の灯によって巡らされる
その燃える意識の中に 我々は最も深い苦痛と歓びを見出す
それは月の潮汐 卵巣周期 そして精子の活動を理解する
天上の花嫁を見つけるその前に守護者が知るのは われわれ最大の愛
蛇の体は溶けゆく顔と絡み合い 我々の寿命を創り出すのだ
老いる間も時間は変わらない
あらゆる分子球はその核において わたし を共有するが、
わたしは中心に居てはならないと自分に言い聞かせる
なぜわたしは自分を球体と呼んだのだろう？それがそもそもの場所だったのだろうか？
一方我々が掘り出した宝石は 地球上のあらゆるものの糧となる点と同じなのだ
Space Chemist
The inner prism pulls our selves inward, connecting the present and the future.
Whose presence do you feel in this test tube?
I played the role of a guardian angel
The future self does not regard darkness as a mistake
Under pressure, coal transforms into diamond
Those who transcend metaphors and remember the light are our twins
Zero gravity and density are replicas that understand the difficulty of equilibrium
It is the role of winning and losing in competition,
And I understand how self-esteem has affected the game
I glanced at it, and the skull whispered the words quietly
I stopped chewing incessantly and shared my cooking skills.
Appreciate wise and self-help animals
The story is revolving by the eternal lamp
In that burning consciousness we find the deepest pain and joy
It is the tides of the moon ovarian cycle and understand sperm activity
Before finding the heavenly bride, the guardian knows our greatest love.
The snake’s body is intertwined with the melting face to create our lifespan
Time does not change even in old age
Every molecular sphere shares me in its nucleus,
I tell myself that I must not be in the center
Why did I call myself a sphere? Was that the place in the first place?
On the other hand, the gems we unearth are the same as the food for everything on earth
