Grandfatherly Wind

"The lyrics include words used in "The Double of Wind" (though I translate them differently) and in "Phonon Belt" (among others). You've probably noticed that there is always a hill with people standing on or near it, there is always wind blowing, and there is fairly often a prison involved (as in "Switched-On Lotus")."

Lyrics

 * 1 "The word I translate as “treasure” is also used to refer to shrines, which often house religious artifacts/treasures. One of my dictionaries also points to “heirloom” for this word."
 * 2 "“Bathe" is literally “dye”, but it sounds to me like “bathed in light”, that sort of “coloring”, if you will. And “dignity” may be more along the lines of “majesty”.

- The “Ah, [adjective] Ah, [adjective]” lines directly modify the noun in the next line, which is awkward in my translation but relatively clear in the original. So when you read the verses, please think of it as “perfect wind”, “pure you”, etc. (except maybe in the last verse where “finite” might modify “you” or “destinies”... I'd say “finite you” grammatically but “finite destinies” makes more sense...)"
