[ENG] Vitriol - Guckkasten (with English subtitles)

'Vitriol' appeared in Paulo Coelho’s novel “Veronika decides to die” and it is described as a symptom that causes one to become extremely lethargic.

Hyunwoo Ha explained that this song is to console the young and tenderhearted ones who think of themselves as a broken down rejects. The chorus part, which bursts out one’s bitterness, helps the listeners feel and sympathize with such heartaches. It is indeed a soothing and magical song.

Lyric translation and English subtitle by Guckkasten-English (GKST-ENG)
*I had originally uploaded the subtitled video in Sep '16 but I've amended some words as they had been misinterpreted. Below is the correct version.

** Vitriol **

Troubled and broken,
You ransack the drawers
Dig out a drug for sleep
And lament
The world outside the window is too brilliant

Time, that broke off contact
Pays me a visit
Holds down the grave and closed ears
Speaks its words
It will be waiting for me out yonder

World inside my head draws to sundown
Becomes only a hovering ghost
Faintly taking me under its wings

Halted season betrays me
Waving its hand, changes its expression, and
Wraps me in stolen garments

Hesitation guides and turns to mist
Toss on murky waves
Take out a picture
Put it inside the mouth and look down at the belly

Weighed down, you are lost for words
Watching the dusky windows
You open your mouth
Making staggering noises

World inside my head draws to sundown
Becomes only a hovering ghost
Faintly taking me under its wings

Halted season betrays me
Waving its hand, changes its expression, and
Wraps me in stolen garments
