L'arc en Ciel - Drink it Down

Woo, new translation up! However, I feel like I need a shower after translating this. I knew by the title it wasn't going to be fun to translate but alas, I pulled through it and I hope my small adjustments from literal translation to the more poetry like but choppy phrases doesn't make anyone angry, some stuff just didn't work in the literal translating phase. Enjoy!

And here's your strange strange and ever more strange English translation

Smoothly the feeling molds
savor the deep taste of the darkness
in the body receive the feeling
(Drink it down
enjoy the black around,
taste the darkness)
let down. you feel.
trust falls. break down.
unafraid to take the plunge, the truth is
for you too are flowing into it
sinking into eternity
being held in the illusion, how far
can sanity still exist?

your hands, the core of them draw near
but are wounded, betting in those eyes
before dying, can we grasp it? the power
(Drink it down
enjoy the black around,
taste the darkness)
Let down. you feel.
trust falls. break down.
the mirror is now shattering
you saw it exist now more, wake up
ah, I can't go home anymore
Fortune has been lost
In a crack I saw a chance of victory

Get up. you know.
the worst. fed up.
fearless. light now.
The mirror is now shattering
you saw it exist no more, wake up
quietly move forward
few have opened darknes and turned back
rushing to those eyes
Enough, who can bear these hands?
Drink it, drink it down
Drink it, drink it down



So there ya go, hope you enjoyed!
