CRITICAL WRITING
Asking Heaven (A Faint Light)
From the series Dedicated to the Painter: The Soul-Shaking Version (Please linger with the melody until the words end / the music ends! And with the thoughts the paintings give you.)
Asking Heaven [A Faint Light] [Thank you for the thoughts your paintings give me! Dedicated to the painter] Where Who is longing? With a sense of oppression! You let me see I see what you see What is seen! What you let me see What is seen at the horizon What is seen is at the horizon
If you could see what I want to say! If you could feel it! A gaze comes from the horizon He is watching us A long sigh comes from the horizon What are you thinking of~ I am thinking of what you are thinking of~ Because the paintings tell me to think!
If one day the world should be dark in every way! Willing to believe in a faint light He is watching~ Giving you strength No, there is also the world He watches the world.
A faint light How long can that light endure! A long cry to the heavens~ Still without words~
Darkness Nowhere is there light anymore No light An absurd laugh What are they laughing at False gentlemen and true villains The foolish and profit-seeking people of the world The world! Collapsing at this moment~ The people of the world Who will save them~ Still without words!
A gaze There is still a little gaze at the horizon A faint light
The last little light!
Do not forget to hold on tightly~
Keep her here
Still without words
