TRANSLATION NOTES
I wanted to make the text more impactful so I wrote things in a pretty dramatic way! I think it fits the song very well.
★沈むほどに黒くなる
Because the more I sink, the darker it gets
黒くなる("the darker it gets") can also mean the darker I get
★Since this song was very hard to interpret i asked for some guidance from my native speaker friend:
"幾千の命を犠牲に
Even if it costs a thousand lives,
願いを一つ叶えましょう
I will grant you one wish
五体のどれかを差し出しても
Even if I should have to give up any limb
手に入れたい何かをあげましょう
I will give you something you desire"
This passage can be interpreted in different ways. This all varies person to person because of the different ways people interpret the entire song.
-The main character is giving their all to grant a wish for someone (I personally chose this.)
-Someone else could be talking to the main character, coercing them into making a deal
-The main character of the song is making a deal with someone, like a devil contract:
"Through the sacrifice of a thousand lives
Let's grant you one wish"
TLDR: I chose to interpret the song in a more romantic way.
