Mili - Library of Ruina - Gone Angels (English lyrics)

Description

Source of the lyrics: https://genius.com/Mili-indie-gone-angels-lyrics (ProjectMoon posted themselves but I love this person's careful annotations)

The 4 Italian lines reference the aria "Lascia ch'io pianga". Their literal translation is "Let me weep / My rough fate / And what sighs / Freedom". The phrasing of the last 2 is ambiguous and can mean "so that I may sigh my freedom", "so that I may sigh at (my lost) liberty", or "so that liberty may sigh."

I'm in love with this song (if it wasn't obvious) and it barely has any Engrish but I still have to fix:
- In THE recycle bin
- Pain always catches up WITH those who CHOOSE to stay
- Your neighboring addresses point to the books you burned = Your home address points to the books you burned.

I adore songs like these for the melody variability, symbolism, wordplay, storytelling, instrumentals, etc. BUT THIS ONE, GUYS. How grim the vocals become at "I tried" only to turn manic and then dramatic out of nowhere. It fits ~someone's character arc so well, I can't stop admiring it!! It's a shame that the game is difficult and long, otherwise I'd be playing it right now.

Apparently, ProjectMoon is OK with me uploading this as long as it runs their ads, so... Here's to not getting copyright-striked.
