Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

これが最後と決めました

I decided this is the last time

アイツは言った「死んだらどうなる？」

They asked, "What happens when you die?"

そこでナイフが飛び出して

That's when the knife flew out

呆気なかった涙よりも早く

Faster than the tears that came in shock

あのねここで消えたら意味ないし

You know, if I disappear here, it would mean nothing

ろうそくのように固まれ血のワルツ

Solidify like a candle, the waltz of blood

繋げていない手がこんなにあるのにな

There are so many hands that aren't connected

ねぇ死んだらどうなる？

Hey, what happens when you die?

そこで誰を恨みますか

Who will you blame then?

矢のように去っては過ぎてく季節

Seasons pass like arrows, leaving quickly

譲れないまま持ち直して

Holding on without giving in

許せばきっと 忘れちゃえ なにもかも

If you forgive, surely you'll forget everything

行く先やさしさが断つ帰り道

The path ahead, kindness cuts the way back

振り返る背にかなしげな眼差し

Looking back with a sorrowful gaze

ありがとうとごめんを繰り返すまま

Repeating thank you and sorry

踏み出した01

Stepped forward, 01

毎度最高な未来をどこか期待している

Always expecting the best future somewhere

抗うまま生きる不幸を受け入れるならば自由を探して

If you accept the misfortune of living in resistance, then seek freedom

赤色の創造が逆巻きぼくらはどうかしてく

The creation in red swirls, we must be going crazy

割り切れないこの理由を抱きしめては歌う 今日を

Embracing this reason that can't be resolved, I sing today

ここで人間辞めました！

I quit being human here!

重ねたラヴゲームもうたくさんでした

I've had enough of the layered love games

切るスイッチ見当たらなくなってどれくらい

How long has it been since I couldn't find the switch to cut it off?

はじめからなかったか

Was it never there from the start?

ゼロが並べば安心ですか？

Is it reassuring if zeros line up?

「代わりがいる」なんて言わせたくなかった

I didn't want to hear "there's a replacement"

さみしさの果てひとり踊れますか

Can you dance alone at the end of loneliness?

錆びたナイフ捨て時は逃した

I missed the timing to throw away the rusty knife

渇かないでこのままダンスダンスワルツ

Don't dry up, just dance, dance the waltz

ねぇそっちはどうですか？

Hey, how's it over there?

さよならがその静けさが澄み渡る

Goodbye, that calmness is so clear

さあここがはじまり

Now, this is the beginning

「目を逸らすな」言い聞かせては

"Don't look away," I keep telling myself

最後のはじめましてよろしく

The last first meeting, nice to meet you

「眠らないで」身体が叫んでる

"Don't sleep," my body is screaming

早鐘を打て浮き彫りのハート

Strike the early bell, the heart is carved out

言い残した言葉じゃ頼りないから

Words left unsaid are unreliable

いつも踏み出す01

Always stepping forward, 01

毎度最高な未来をどこか期待している

Always expecting the best future somewhere

抗うまま生きる不幸を受け入れるならば自由を探して

If you accept the misfortune of living in resistance, then seek freedom

赤色の創造が逆巻きぼくらはどうかしてく

The creation in red swirls, we must be going crazy

割り切れないこの理由を抱きしめては歌う 今日も

Embracing this reason that can't be resolved, I sing today
