- "Even the span of a millennium I think to you would be a blink."
- ―Rin[src]
Blink is a song released by Akuno-P on August 17, 2014 in The Muzzle of Nemesis album. It portrays Rin's personal reflection on the sapling Michaela as she inevitably grows into a very large tree.
Plot
In the Millennium Tree Forest, a girl speculates that once a sapling has taken root, she’ll have become an adult; she also wonders if she’ll be alive by the time it becomes taller. She continues to imagine that, once the sapling has grown many leaves, the world will have changed even more than it already has, wondering if her sins will have been forgiven once the sapling becomes a tree. The girl notes how, to a tree, a millennium would be the blink of an eye and she prays to the tree for an eternity of peace.
Lyrics
この苗木が根付いた時
私は今より大人でしょう
大きく高く伸びた時
私は生きてるでしょうか
生きているでしょうか
たくさんの葉をつけた時
世界は今より変わってるでしょう
立派な大樹になった時
罪は許されるでしょうか
許されるでしょうか
千年の時間さえも
あなたには瞬きでしょう
きっと きっと
願わくばこの樹の元
永遠の平和を
永遠の平和を
Kono naegi ga nedzuita toki
Watashi wa ima yori otona deshou
Ookiku takaku nobita toki
Watashi wa ikiteru deshou ka
Ikiteiru deshou ka
Takusan no ha wo tsuketa toki
Sekai wa ima yori kawatteru deshou
Rippana taiju ni natta toki
Tsumi wa yurusareru deshou ka
Yurusareru deshou ka
Sennen no jikan sae mo
Anata ni wa matataki deshou
Kitto kitto
Negawakuba kono ki no moto
Towa no heiwa wo
Towa no heiwa wo
When this sapling has taken root
I think I’ll be more of an adult than I am now
When it’s grown extremely tall
Will I be alive?
Will I be alive?
When it’s grown many leaves
I think the world will be changing more than it is now
When it’s become a splendid, large tree
Will my sins be forgiven?
Will they be forgiven?
Even the span of a millennium
I think to you would be a blink
Surely, surely
I pray, to the base of this tree
For eternal peace
For eternal peace

Conceptualization and Origin
- The song's title refers to Rin's reflection on how a thousand years would be like a blink of the eye for the tree sapling.
- According to mothy, the song was given a shorter title compared to many of his other songs because he felt it didn't need to be overly long or complicated; he clarified that the song itself still packed a lot of emotion.[1]
