Draculia (Draculia:Another) refers to the corresponding song in Tanzanite (the “dark” version of this album), whose story is connected to the story of this song. To roughly summarize the events of Draculia:Another, a vampire girl (named Draculia) meets and falls in love with a human who was claimed to be the one who would save the world (the Messiah). The man was very kind to Draculia and appeared to respond to her feelings. She believed so until her very last moments, when she was pierced by holy silver and reduced to ashes. Yura describes the song as a “picture book” which paints a picture of the vampire’s tragic love.
Official comment
「哀愁のある美しい白曲です。作詞の苑子ちゃんから解説をいただいておりますので はりつけさせていただきますわよー！曲も歌詞もギターも素晴らしいですわっ。救世主である彼が愛する少女に本当にしたかったことは？がテーマです。
同じ時間を何度もやり直して、自分の命を使って、吸血鬼の呪いを解く...となっています。『Draculia』に対する物語、裏側ということで、タイトルにはReverseとつけました。」
This is a beautiful "white" piece which a touch of melancholy. I've received commentary from the lyricist, Sonoko-chan, so I'll share that with you! The music, lyrics, and guitar are all fantastic. The theme of this song is what the Messiah really wanted to do for the girl he loved. He would repeat the same events over and over again, and sacrifice his own life to break the vampire's curse... or so it goes. I titled it "Reverse" because it covers the opposite perspective of "Draculia".
Lyrics
手のひらの駒鳥 白銀に消えた…
（早く、捕まえて）
tenohira no komadori hakugin ni kieta
hayaku tsukamaete
On the palm of my hand, a komadori bird vanishes into silver…
Quickly, capture it!
色褪せた城の底で 鶫は歌い さざめく
煌く硝子に眠る 白夜の少女
狩られると知らず
iroaseta shiro no soko de tsugumi wa utai sazameku
kirameku garasu ni nemuru byakuya no shoujo
karareru to shirazu
At the bottom of a desolate castle, a thrush sings noisily
In the shimmering glass, sleeps the girl of the midnight sun
Unaware she is being hunted
招かれざる指先 祈りは短く
重い「刃の残像」が羽に強く触れた
manekarezaru yubisaki inori wa mijikaku
omoi zanzou ga hane ni tsuyoku fureta
Uninvited fingertips; a brief prayer
The heavy “afterimage of the blade” firmly struck her wings
空に舞い降りた 君は美しく
僕は人間を 初めて好きになる
夜に魅せられた 剣は震えて
闇が包む 心奪うまで 嵐のように
sora ni maiorita kimi wa utsukushiku
boku wa dareka wo hajimeta sukininaru
yoru ni miserareta tsurugi wa furuete
yami ga tsutsumu kokoro ubau made arashi no youni
Descending from the sky, you are beautiful
For the first time, I fell in love with “someone”1
Enchanted by the night, my sword wavered
Enveloped in darkness, until my heart was snatched away — like a storm
「叛逆の救世主、堕ちる」
予言は叫び 戦慄く
朽ち果てた茨越えて
小鳥の少女 偽りも知らず
hangyaku no meshia ochiru
yogen wa sakebi wananaku
kuchikateta ibara koete
kotori no shoujo itsuwari mo shirazu
“The rebellious Messiah will fall”
The prophecy proclaims, trembling
Stepping over the rotting thorns
A little bird girl, unaware of the truth
赦されない恋と リボンを結んで
淡い唇 牙にゆるく触れた
yurusarenai koi to ribon wo musunde
awai kuchibiru kiba ni yuruku fureta
Tying a ribbon around our unforgivable love
Pale lips, gently brushed against your fangs
雪に閉ざされた 世界凍りつく
僕は人間を 初めて守りたい
光喪って 奇跡は無くとも
白く続く… 君を隠すだろう 吹雪のように
yuki ni tozasareta sekai kouritsuku
boku wa dareka wo hajimete mamoritai
hikari ushinatte kiseki wa naku tomo
shiroku tsuzuku kimi wo kakusu darou fubuki no youni
Consumed by snow, the world froze completely
For the first time, I want to protect “someone”1
Even though the light is fading, and there are no such thing as miracles
The white expanse might conceal you, like a snowstorm
何も言わないで 胸を貫いた
僕のすべてを 命を捧げても
nanimo iwanaide mune wo tsuranuita
boku no subete wo inochi wo sasagetemo
Without saying a word — pierced through the chest
I’d give my all, even my own life
空に舞い降りた 涙美しく
僕は必ず 君だけ守るから
夜に攫われた 剣は要らない
炎包む 僕を奪うまで いつかのように…
sora ni maiorita namida utsukushiku
boku wa kanarazu kimi dake mamoru kara
yoru ni sarawareta tsurugi wa iranai
honou tsutsumu boku wo ubau made itsuka no youni
Descending from the sky, your beautiful tears
Because I will protect you alone, without fail
Carried away by the night, I no longer need my sword
Enveloped in flames, until I was snatched away — like in the past2
