I always thought that this started with 'afurete' and it made sense to me. But
when I saw it written down (instead of hearing it) I realized that it was
arifurete, and now the whole paragraph doesn't make sense to me.

ありふれて 足許に 弱く弱く耀く あの欠片は夢、 だったのかな

Is there a special meaning to 'arifurete' that I do not understand? I thought
it meant 'banal' or 'common'/'ordinary'.

If it helps, the previous part is 'can't get used to wanting to cry'.. or
perhaps I mistranslated that part?

叫びたくなれない

I don't even think I should show how I translated it, as I am pretty sure it's
wrong, but if necessary, I'll edit it in, just let me know.

EDIT: Here is the full text for context, but I don't think there is any
context to the part that I cannot understand/translate.

Help with understanding or properly translating small paragraph
The way I read it, ありふれた describes the shards. ありふれた is used commonly in
poetic context and means "ordinary", but often with the implication that those
ordinary things are actually special and valuable (あの頃の ありふれた 日常が 今は... etc.）

ありふれて耀く is an unnatural way of using ありふれた because it implies the shards are
being ordinary by choice. IMO this could have been done to give the shards an
animal characteristic, or simply to make the length & rhythm work.

ありふれて is indeed an infrequent form in modern language, as only ありふれた or
ありふれている is actively used as though an adjective that means "commonplace" or
such things.

But ありふれて itself is the _te-form of the verb_ ありふれる "to exist everywhere",
thus means some kind of continuation: "is everywhere, and..." or "is
everywhere, so that..." or just "being everywhere, ..." etc.

The main reason the lyricist avoided ありふれた (or ありふれている) in this place is, I
guess, ありふれた足許に… would be parsed as ありふれた modifies the following noun 足許 at
first hearing (see [garden path
sentence](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garden_path_sentence)). ありふれて makes
sure that this word doesn't go straight to the next word, but to 欠片 together
with the next phrase. But it is very much close to artistic license; in usual
conversation you probably use ありふれていて or other.

So, altogether it'd mean:

> _I wonder, if they were the dream, the shards in every corner, shining so
> faintly at my feet_

I don't know how much it helps, but these are the only four examples in
[BCCWJ](http://pj.ninjal.ac.jp/corpus_center/bccwj/en/) corpus to use ありふれる in
its non-participle form.

>   * いかにも時代がかったものと違って、 **ありふれすぎて** 別段の奇もなさそうに見えるせいであろうか。（向井敏・机上の一群）
>   * とすれば、話しことばはどこに行っても **ありふれて** あるように、地名もまた同じものがどこにでもあるし…（都丸十九一・地名研究入門）
>   * だが、ボタンも **ありふれてしまえば** 、そうした怖れさえ日常化する。（松山巖・手の孤独、手の力）
>   * 人々は、人生の目的など、むずかしく考えれば考える程、わからなくなる。 **ありふれて**
> 軽い考えをもってくれば、愛、感謝、許容など、当たり前のことが、浮上してくる。（阿波根朝宏・新世紀の歴史の流れと私の証言）
