My translation on "Sleeper (Tie)".
(This is reprint. I only add translation to video)
I recommend turuning up volume a bit=)
There's lots of metaphor in this song so it might be hard to understand what it's really saying but I think message in this is like "Let's journey out from past quiting looking so much into ourselves and feel the good things in life out there and then hopefully future will start to change".
Fixed line "will be set into motion"
to "will start to move".
I wandered if I should fix "blows" to "sounds" too but I really liked blows as "鳴る" so I'm leaving it as it is.
Thank you for rate and comments on the last one...!
Another point I need fix
"If you have thrown away...."
is better translated
"When you have thrown away..."
This was pointed out again by EasternBlack=D
Thank you again!!=D

Rin 's "Sleeper (Tie)" Lyric
----------------------------------------
Inside a darkness, fix your eyes
The first train of day goes through the night
To a figure-look(=full-length mirror), smile good-bye
With a suit case empty as it is
A strong head wind too, is just fine for a wake up
A morning bird suddenly fluttered
Tonight if the steam whistle blows,
Surely distant future will start to move
Tonight if the steam whistle blows,
Surely before night-lights(=dawns)
Start off (of the journey) is, from inside a black darkness
By thrashing white mist in the (plat-)form
If you have thrown away an old diary into a trash box,
Clarify your ears to a railroad crossing harmony
Tonight if the steam whistle blows,
Surely far future will start to move
Tonight if the steam whistle blows,
Surely before night-lights
Not to a deep solitary
Not to a darkness you got lost in
But to the rhythm-of-sleeper,
Throw out your chest! !
Tonight if the steam whistle blows,
Surely distant future will start to move
Tonight if the steam whistle blows,
Surely before night-lights
Tonight believing in miracle
Quietly, I walk out to the far future
Tonight believing in miracle,
Quietly before night-lights
Ding Dong Dang Dong Ding...
Ding Dong Dang Dong Dang...
