Lyrics (below) are half in English / Japanese inspired by a Japanese yokai (ghost) that eats nightmares along with our positive hopes and dreams if we're not careful, and our general contradictions on conscious / subconscious terrains re: carnal - self-actualising desires and needs.
lyrics
Baku The Dream Eater
Close your eyes and dive into the geist
サイの瞳の深青色
Neuron sparks, the haunting lights
ゾウの鼻で無空色
Time entwines the rust and gleam
代わりない愛を
Cerebral stars our gentle fiend
天に見合う性を
Baku, our dreams at shore
満ちた青に
A pillow-side lullaby
陽は沈み
Baku, your night in sail
満ちた月に
The tears of Susanoo
星を忘れた無の讃歌
