【Touhou Lyrics】 Deaf to All but the Song ~ Flower Mix

Mystia's theme. ...Apologies for the boring visuals. Gotta make it fit the style of my ancient PoFV playlist that I'm finally finishing up!
It's ironic how difficult it was to work on a song for a character who is a literal songstress. Her power as a night sparrow is to make people night-blind so that they can only see complete darkness, and then lure them into madness with her strange music. In PoFV, she seems to cheerfully fly around warbling her own tweaked versions of classic songs, often sounding like nonsense, with ever-so-slight dark tones of meaning behind them. I tried to make these lyrics reflect these sorts of abstract improvised lyrics.

(♪ Sakura, sakura~)
(♪ strewn across this clear sky of spring)
(♪ as far as the eye can see...?)
So there's nothing left to see,
But the path is still as clear as can be.
Don't look around; follow the sound,
And this path will lead you to your destination.
There... the sky is misty,
and, filling up the air, sweet clouds of cherry,
both heavy and light, heavy and light~
Fall... sweet petals, they fall,
so lovely and fair! Oh, humans, they
wish their own fall could be so lovely~
Spring... in the field,
in the village, in all of the land:
The path stretches — only — as far as the eye can see~
(♪ Kagome, kagome~)
(♪ when will the bird release from the cage)
(♪ who~ is there~?)
Let the music be the lure,
Through the darkness ever pure, ever pure.
You didn't mind becoming blind—
Become deaf now to all but the song I'm singing.
Where... you see a shadow,
a shadow in the front fell from behind;
one below, it fell from high in the sky~
All... those places to hide,
and nowhere to run! So close your eyes.
Some things are better not to know, oh~
Sing... hear the bird cry again.
Is it mourning, or warning?
Ah, nothing so important... but always listen to the song~
