Eraser (Romaji)
Shiroi nemurini oitekarete fusaideiru koinu
Mada ugokezu bokuwa asani tsunagareteruﾂ… dakara
Todokanai omouhodo namidawa nagaretekuyo
Kareteyuku anemone douka wasurenaide
Iroasenai chouninatte itsuka kimie kaerou
Kanashimiwo keshite kimiwa kawarazuni ite hoshii
Subete wasurete omoideniwa naritakuwa nai dakedo
Kimiwo kumorasete shimaunara kiokusaemo iranai
Shikino iro kawattemo sonomamano kimide ite
Usubenino hanabira matta sakura namiki
Kanashimino sakamichiwo noborikitta shunkan
Anokorono kimiga imamo kawarazuni waratteru
Nakanaide kiite hoshii
Hitotsudake wagamamawo ichidodake negaigoto kanaetekure
Kimito boku sukidatta hanatachide amikonda
Hanawato boku mizu ukabe nagashitekure
Yawarakana senritsuwa yukkurito kaikosase
Yakusokuno nai sayonarae
ﾂ"Towaniﾂ"
Todokanai omoihodo kimiwo tsuyoku surukara
Kareteyuku anemone douka wasureteite
Donna tokimo egao taetai sonna kimiga sukidatta
Kanashimiwo keshite kimiwa kawarazuni ite hoshii
Eraser (Translation)
A depressed puppy, left behind in white sleep
Me, who cannot move yet, is bound to the morningﾂ… therefore
The more I think that I can't reach you, the more my tears are flowing
The withering anemone, please, don't forget it
I'll turn into an unfading butterfly and one day, I'll return to you
Erase the feeling of sadness, I want you to stay as you are, without changing
Forget everything. I don't want to become a memory,
but if it would dim you, I don't even need memory
Even if the colors of the four seasons change, stay as you are
The light red flower petals of the Sakura trees which danced
The moment we climbed up the hill of sadness
The you of that time are still smiling unchangingly
Don't cry, listen
Just once, satisfy my egoism, my wish
The garland we knitted out of the flowers we both loved
and me are floating on the water, let it flow
The mild tunes make me slowly look back,
to the goodbye without any promises
ﾂ"Foreverﾂ"
The more I think that I can't reach you, the more I'm making you stronger
The withering anemone, please, forget it
I loved the you who didn't stop smiling,
whatever time would come
Erase the feeling of sadness, I want you to stay as you are, without changing

omg, while typing this out I thought about a possible meaning of the lyrics again.... and this time they sounded different to me.
I don't claim that this is what's meant in fact, but to me this part:
Don't cry, listen
Just once, satisfy my egoism, my wish
The garland we knitted out of the flowers we both loved
and me are floating on the water, let it flow
seems like shou's asking a beloved person to let go of their former life together and their memories (which could be that garland) and of him, because he has died....
I mean I have that strange image of shou floating on a river with closed eyes and flowers all around him.... like in some movie or sth when they let the dead ones onto a river and send them to....wherever, but you know what I mean?
and despite all he wants that person to be happy without him and not to grieve for him.
shou.....you make me want to cry
