It took 7 years for me to find a Youmu arrange that I like, and it turned out to be one of the longest and most lyrically advanced song I’ve ever come across. This song relies a lot on wordplay like homophones in order to drive the story’s narrative. I don’t think I’ve figured it all out yet, but I gave it a shot and I’ll come revisit this translation down the line later once I’m more fluent. The song appears to be about Youmu’s journey to finding out her true self. She started by waiting for others to tell her what she is, but discovered that it was up to her to determine her own identity out of other things that sound similar.
