Geesh, who ever knew Ruki could be so dark sometimes?
I never expected translations like this when I first heard the song.
Even though I interpreted the lyrics a while ago it still makes me wonder just where someone like Ruki gets all his inspiration for songs like this. He doesn't really seem like a very dark-minded person. :/
But yeah, a child walking in on his mother's death... possibly a suicide? I doubt a mother would just drop dead in a bathroom... and she's looking down like she's slumped over slightly with her back against the wall. That's the image it puts into my head at least.
I know for sure the last line is about a funeral. Caskets are usually lined with some sort of velvet or other fabric right? And they can make them white right?
I'm a bit confused though by this line:
"I came close, the still warm cheek."
...If she's dead and in a casket then why is she still warm? o.o
I think the last line though is kind of a way of metaphorically saying "When you died I died as well."
