My Lie in April is that I couldn't make 13 posts this month as I am way too busy with a lot of other stuff irl...
Anyway, I put this translation out on youtube like a few hours ago. Thought I might post it here as well. I will write the entire analysis after I have done the rest of the cd (I expect to have translated it around the end of may maybe) Expect may? Nah, make that September.
Revision: 27 september 2022
Basically there is not much to say about this song. Except for that this is my favourite song of the album. Awesome, I even covered it. The organs give me the chills every single time, the emotion in the vocals of Rina oh my god it is so great. About the lyrics: I obtained the lyrics from the PV i think as I didn't buy the CD immediately on day 1, so I didn't know of anything in the rest of the booklet.
The lyrics are very straightforward in general, basically Lalue carrying all the sins and grief in the world, which caused her to go crazy and descend in the abyss to rule over it as "Lucifer". The Bible is quoted a few times as well, which probably was an inspiration to Paspal. Basically Lucifer in the bible also "Falls" from being a seraph to evil.
Translation:
