Lyrics
“Please come in.”
“Please excuse us. Come now, Miss Artemisia.”
“Ah, yes...”
Sophia[Σοφια], the poetry reading consecrated female
Ah...Sadness is the color of the sea, azure and blue
Ah...Suffering is the sound of the waves, strong and weak
The girl's cheeks radiate a shade of roses; truly a beautiful sight
But the young bud, drenched with sadness, has not yet bloomed
The two closed eyes are a matching darkness, dark and deathly
The closed violets are a dream of the end, sweet and bitter
There’s nothing much here, but it’s overflowing with water, light and love
Welcome, this is【The Island of the Poet】 [Λέσβος]
Sanctuary of the Ocean Goddess[Θάλασσα], the Sun God[Ηλιος]
And the white-armed Goddess of Beauty[Καλλεα]
Everything that you’ve seen, ah...is the truth of the world
Full of absurdity, oh...an unwanted reality
But the world doesn’t stop there
Hey...Misia, hear me out?
Even if you cry ”It’s agonizing, painful, cruel and I don’t want this”
The white thread of destiny cannot be spun by man
Please become a woman[flower] who doesn’t fear, doesn’t waver, doesn’t envy, doesn’t hate, and one that blooms in this world beautifully, stronger than anyone else

The consecrated female detects the girl's strange ability
She shows her the way and a method to live
【The bottom of the water of memories】
Once (right), there was a person(for her, too) that I loved deeply(more than anyone)
However (now), that person went to a faraway place (to the other side)...
Love is not a slave for use in bed
Nor is it, by any means, a tool to conceive a child
Ah....please become a woman[flower] who loves the sky, the earth, the ocean, the humans, her own fate, and one that can live off even sadness
