Freedom - English

A bed of discolored spices that deceit and hatred nurtured,

If you remove the handcuffs that have no key,

You’ll hold your breath and head to a world within the tablet of a crucifix,*

Freedom, for freedom

Anyone is bound by the word

The society lets us be out of order

Freedom, for freedom

All the people are tied up in this world

There is neither the hatred nor the sorrow there

Clean eyes that don’t notice the defiled insects caught in the web,

If you drag them along, clingy and reliant,

You’ll enter into a world of depravity and pleasure,

Freedom, for freedom

Anyone is bound by the word

The society lets us be out of order

Freedom, for freedom

All the people are tied up in this world

There is neither the hatred nor the sorrow there

Close your eyes dissolve into a dream,

In front of you, even if just a little, just one,

Can you see a landscape you can believe in?

Open your eyes, if you can fly now,

The continuation of the unfinished letter is**

“Let’s choose freedom!”

Freedom, for freedom

Anyone is bound by the word

The society lets us be out of order

Freedom, for freedom

All the people are tied up in this world

There is neither the hatred nor the sorrow there

* The phrase used here makes reference to tablets with Christian imagery that Edo period authorities used to force suspected Christians to trample on as a means of determining their loyalty.  Thus, I think the meaning can be interpreted as “the world you’ll head to is one that tests allegiances and polices people’s thoughts” or something to that effect.

** Although 「遺書」 (= will) is written in the lyrics, Juri sings「手紙」 (= letter) in the song.
