about

The angler fish lives in the deep sea. In terms of human aesthetics, they appear hideous. The angler fish have a fishing rod made of luminous bacteria on top of their heads, This is also the origin of the lyrics "射下璀璨光辉 shoot down the resplendent light", which repeat nine times at the beginning and end of the song. The song's lyrics are adapted from two science fiction-themed poems Yikii wrote that paint a surreal and terrifying picture scroll.

提灯鮟鱇是一种生活在深海中的鱼,以人类的审美观来看,它们的长相十分可怖。提灯鮟鱇的头顶有一支由发光菌组成的钓竿,这也是在开头与结尾一共重复了九次的歌词“射下璀璨光辉”的由来。这首歌的的歌词改编自我写过的两首科幻主题的诗歌,描绘了一幅超现实的恐怖画卷。

-Yikii

lyrics

射下璀璨光辉
射下璀璨光辉
射下璀璨光辉

Shoot down the resplendent light
Shoot down the resplendent light
Shoot down the resplendent light
Shoot down the resplendent light

(人造月亮的公正)
(遭到严重侵蚀的平面)

(The justice of a man-made moon)
(A severely eroded plane)

铜框里闪烁着晴天
我躺在天台的栅栏外

A sunny day shines in the brass frame
As I lay outside the fence on the roof

六点钟河床上空
七和弦的顿弓

Six o’clock, above the riverbed
The seventh chord of a staccato bow

死黑正球体
冷白色绝望星系

Dead, black, positive sphere
Cold, white, hopeless galaxy

世界颠倒过来
隔着机械的面具
惊恐相视
(停摆的钟)

The world is upside down
I look through a mechanical mask
In horror
(A stopped clock)

未想到竟如此迅速
围墙已倒塌了一半

I didn’t expect it to happen so quickly
The wall has already collapsed halfway

沉寂显得难堪而漫无目的
宛如溺水后剧烈的光

And the silence is strange and aimless
Like the intense light after drowning

枯萎了的永远
只要守护一瞬间就心满意足

The withered forever
But satisfied with just a moment

烟雾在周身缭绕
错误的透视
无法看清前与后

The smoke around my body
Makes an incorrect perspective
So that I can’t see front and back

悲不致死
悲不致死

Sorrow does not cause death
Sorrow does not cause death

射下璀璨光辉
射下璀璨光辉
射下璀璨光辉
射下璀璨光辉
射下璀璨光辉
射下璀璨光辉

Shoot down the resplendent light
Shoot down the resplendent light
Shoot down the resplendent light
Shoot down the resplendent light
