LYRICS | Jujutsu Kaisen OP 2 / Where Our Blue Is

I took a lot of liberties with the direct translation to really match the story of Gojo and Getto in Jujutsu Kaisen. It's a tragic story of having to say goodbye to a friend you can't bare to say goodbye to, despite what a monster they've become. This song really hit me hard, so I hope that I can do it justice.
Please look forward to it!

No end to the Blue, when everywhere I look I see its hue

Can't turn from truth, when I've seen it as clearly as the day I'll have to wake up without you

It rings all around, the song of the cicads crying out

Makes it so loud, the deafining sound of silence from your mouth

No matter how hard I try to hold,

Those innocent days will soon fade away and I'll have to let you go

Left behind an eternity ago, even so...

But even so,

Blue still lives in me

But even so,

Blue clear as the sea

Even though a single prayer, a single word

Could change our fates, I know it's way too late to be heard

Just like a love that could never quite reach

Or just like the colors that run down my cheeks, forever burning

I couldn't even whisper to curse you, 

The words in my throat that I never spoke:

"You're my one and only, best friend"

I wish I could have told you then

The evening looms, a gentle breeze that blows between us two

The memories bloom, looking back on the days when you and I were crazy kids chasing our youth

You're never alone, so why'd you try to take it on your own

From that moment on, my friend was gone

I tried to hold on, but I'm cursed to move on without you

La la la la...

The sorrow that hides behind the smile you gave

Just how could these eyes be oh so blind to your pain

La la la la...

Like a flower that grew too frail to hold, 

For us both...

I let you go

But even so,

Blue still lives in me

But even so,

Blue clear as the sea

Even though a single prayer, a single word

Could change our fates, I know it's way too late to be heard

Just like a love that could never quite reach

Or just like the colors that run down my cheeks, forever burning

I couldn't even whisper to curse you, 

The words in my throat that I never spoke:

"You're my one and only, best friend"

I wish I could have told you then

No matter how bright, no star can burn forever, 

Tried to hold tight, you slipped through my fingers
