This song has some really interesting writing. There's a clever use of synonyms that sound similar, but have slightly different meanings all over this song. (隙間/狭間, 衝動/行動/鼓動)
The song also uses the expressions 雲行き (Movement of the clouds) and 風向き (Direction of the wind) at different points in the song. Again, these are similar and theme, and are actually both metaphors for "the situation" or "the outlook of things".
Finally, there's the part about becoming a shellfish. I couldn't find this as a common expression, but I did find one interpretation of the expression in an unrelated context. It can mean to not talk to anyone, not be affected by anyone, and simply live in your own shell. So the singer says: "When you feel like pulling away, come see me and I'll make you feel better".

This list includes all songs by 回路-kairo- or 556t that I've been able to find. Some albums on this list have missing tracks. That's either because the song isn't by 回路-kairo- or 556t, or it appears on a different album on this list. Compiling this list, I felt I got a good look at part of the Touhou community, and especially those with an interest in 回路-kairo-. So I thought I'd just give a shoutout to all the Youtube channels and all the other translators I've linked to: Youtube: hamucomcity , ~MariMari~ , Kyara Frost , Crystal Memories , Marisa Nya , BurstDigiSoul , The Little Pagoda , Undefined Fantastic Channel , Music of Gensokyo / 幻想郷の音楽 , RevnaVarea , 0P2C , ParasiteTeromea , hyperone3232 , TheHakurouTengu , PatchyFTW , Shaya Kagi , Eiki Shiki , FantasyGensokyo , Anjuu Miko , iapprovelolis , 茶碗蒸 , 765sakuya , Ammy / エイミー , Monochro Monoe , Gensokyo1106 , GreenwichInTheSky , Patchouli Knowledge , MarlyFlowerXI , HikariNoNanaki , Reimu Hakurei , DoujinMusi...

A song by another band than 回路-kairo-?? The title of this song is, from what I can tell, an old pronunciation of the word "blue" (青), which can also mean "green". I decided to leave the title as the pronunciation instead of translating it, because both meanings are used in the song. _____ 漢字 ローマ字 英語 誇りにあふれた人生の途中で Hokori ni afureta jinsei no tochuu de In the middle of life, overflowing with pride 埃にまみれた夢を追いかける Hokori ni mamireta yume wo oikakeru Following one's dreams, being smeared in the dust 私たちは自然の驚異です Watashitachi ha shizen no kyoui desu We are a miracle of nature 憧れを餌に生きる Akogare wo esa ni ikiru We live longing for prey 満足を誰かと分かち合っていたり Manzoku wo dareka to wakachiatteitari Sharing satisfaction ...
