SILVER HEART

Lyrics: Hiroyuki Takami
Composition: Daisuke Asakura
Performed by: access
Translation & romaji by: teddiursa

tsumetai mune wo kyuu ni shimetsuketeku
seigyo sareteru kairo ga mayoidashita
subete no deeta kara
naze ka wo sagashidasu

I feel a sudden tightness in my ice-cold chest
There's a faulty connection in my circuits
I scan through all my data to locate it

renzu no oku no gamen ga midareteru
kasuka ni utsuru zanzou wa kimi no kao
kanjiru hazu no nai
karada ga atsuku naru

The screen behind my lenses is corrupted
leaving only the faint afterimage of your face
In my body, there's a warmth
I was never meant to feel

SILVER HEART ima nani ga
SILVER HEART boku ni okita
ICE HEART tomaranai
kono puroguramu
SILVER HEART naze kimi ga
LONELY HEART tada kienai
ICE HEART purazuma no shougeki ga hashiru

(SILVER HEART) What has
(SILVER HEART) awakened in me?
(ICE HEART) A program
that I can't abort
(SILVER HEART) I don't know why
(LONELY HEART) I can't delete you
(ICE HEART) like plasma sending a shock to my system

futatsu no me kara shizuku koboreochita
shooto shisou na
kore ga setsunasa na no ka
kimi ga ukabu tabi ni
kontorooru dekinai

Tears fell from both my eyes
I think I'm about to short-circuit
Perhaps this is what they call suffering?
Whenever you cross my mind
I lose control

tatoe kono mama ishiki ga mebaetemo
chi wa nagarenai
yume wo mitemo aenai
kimi to boku no chigau
Delicate Situation

Even if I became sentient
blood will never flow through my veins
Even in my dreams
I can't be with you
when you're so different to me
Delicate Situation

SILVER HEART ima doko ni
SILVER HEART boku wa yukeru
ICE HEART tomaranai
kono kodou no naka

(SILVER HEART) But where
(SILVER HEART) can I go?
(ICE HEART) With my heartbeat
running in an endless loop

SILVER HEART ima nani ga
SILVER HEART boku ni okita
ICE HEART tomaranai
kono puroguramu
SILVER HEART naze kimi ga
LONELY HEART tada kienai
ICE HEART purazuma no shougeki ga hashiru

(SILVER HEART) What has
(SILVER HEART) awakened in me?
(ICE HEART) A program
that I can't abort
(SILVER HEART) I don't know why
(LONELY HEART) I can't delete you
(ICE HEART) like plasma sending a shock to my system

SILVER HEART SILVER HEART
ICE HEART kono puroguramu
SILVER HEART LONELY HEART
ICE HEART shougeki ga hashiru

(SILVER HEART) (SILVER HEART)
(ICE HEART) a program
(SILVER HEART) (LONELY HEART)
(ICE HEART) sending a shock to my system

Song commentary from access

Takami: This was a completely new genre for me. Writing this sci-fi-themed track, I thought about what would happen if a computer started to feel emotions. This song was part of a conceptual section midway through the setlist [during the SYNC-ACROSS JAPAN TOUR '94 DELICATE PLANET tour]. After discussions with our choreographer, we decided I wouldn't move in the first half of the song. I think that resulted in something in line with our new visuals. We were able to use our performance to mirror the narrative of the song.

Asakura: In my opinion, this is the track on DELICATE PLANET that most clearly communicates the album's concept. It was written specifically with a concept album in mind. It was when we were mixing the track that we first considered using it as the album opener. Thematically speaking, this song is quite different to everything we've done before, so we hoped it would take listeners by surprise when they first hear the album.
