technically momo's singing "As if it were trying to hide away the gently sprinkling down light" but mmm yea that doesn't quite catch the feeling I'm tryna get
黒い雲は育って　月を飲み込んだ - HAVE U EVER SEEN A MORE BLATANT REFERENCE TO TSUKUMO??? 月雲...... 月....雲.... dude. Also in the context of the story this is 10000000% a 'MEET ME IN THE PIT, A S S H O L E  xoxo momo n yuki" song if i ever heARD ONE, B O Y. anyways, is this line talking abt stuff that's happened?? or is it....... a warning??? I like that it's ambiguous! (for onCE)
汚れた手段でしか マウント取れないんだろう - 'taking the mount' in the second half refers to the MMA/martial arts move where u get on top of someone and ground n' pound the shit outta their face (ok maybe this explanation is heavily MMA) BUT ANYWAYS generally that's how u secure a win bc it's pretty hard to escape, etcetc. ANYWAYS that turned into 'upper hand' bc Sadly, I don't have the space to wax poetry and explain MMA terminology all in one line of lyric translation
ALSO uH??? SHOTS FIRED??????????? Re:vale, in the year 2018, releasing the hottest fucking diss track @ Tsukumo Ryou w/latin beats in the bgm (tag urself im the crispass clap sfx)
風に任せて簡単に飛ばせるほど - i did a little (a lot) of dressing up phrases bc THIS SONG IS 2 PRETTY also it's re:v and they've gotten pretty poetic/rich with figurative language-type lyrics SO (shiroi ur just makin excuses 4 urself--sHHH)
ANYWAYS literally its like 'we must make our bodies immmovable so that we won't get blown away easily by the wind'
HOWEVER imperturbable/immovable/etc sound way to clunky to fit in the line hence strong. 'Composed' is a pretty good translation for 動じない but in this context since they're using a very bodily/physical example, that wouldn't quite work since that's describing a state of mind etcetc
さあ、受けて立とう - 'stand' is kinda implied in the kanji but the phrase means 'rise up to the challenge/take the gauntlet' but the 'stand' part kinda makes 4 some nice imagery of ryou angrily clutching his TV remote as he's lounging in the comfort of his (probably expensive) leather couch and staNDING UP as his face turns into angrysprite_01.jpg y/n??????????
情熱と共に 輝いているよ Esperanza - id like to point out two things (1) my spanish is abysmal but I am very good at usin google (2) Esperanza means hope (according 2 google)
I ACTUALLY WANTED 2 CHANGE THE ORDER OF THESE PHRASES BUT for rhythm?? rhythmic?? purposes I left it in the original order
たゆまぬ思いよ大事な人を導くための/標となれ - technically yuki's singing 'o' unshakeable/steady feelings/become a guide to guide those I hold dear'
aka the 'down the right path' part is Me putting in interp bc its kinda implied, pls don't read too deeply into 'right path' i just needed a word to preface 'path' because otherwise 'guide them down the path' kinda makes you go 'but what path??? hwere is it goin???' \o/
I HAD A LOT OF FUN WITH THIS!!! I MISS TL'ING BUT YA GIRL'S ON BREAK SO I CAN FINALLY CATCH UP A LITTLE
