Lyrics & Translation
They asked, "What happens when you die?"
That's when the knife flew out
Faster than the tears that came in shock
You know, if I disappear here, it would mean nothing
Solidify like a candle, the waltz of blood
There are so many hands that aren't connected
Hey, what happens when you die?
Who will you blame then?
Seasons pass like arrows, leaving quickly
Holding on without giving in
If you forgive, surely you'll forget everything
The path ahead, kindness cuts the way back
Looking back with a sorrowful gaze
Repeating thank you and sorry
Stepped forward, 01
Always expecting the best future somewhere
If you accept the misfortune of living in resistance, then seek freedom
The creation in red swirls, we must be going crazy
Embracing this reason that can't be resolved, I sing today
I quit being human here!
I've had enough of the layered love games
How long has it been since I couldn't find the switch to cut it off?
Was it never there from the start?
Is it reassuring if zeros line up?
I didn't want to hear "there's a replacement"
Can you dance alone at the end of loneliness?
I missed the timing to throw away the rusty knife
Don't dry up, just dance, dance the waltz
Hey, how's it over there?
Goodbye, that calmness is so clear
Now, this is the beginning
"Don't look away," I keep telling myself
The last first meeting, nice to meet you
"Don't sleep," my body is screaming
Strike the early bell, the heart is carved out
Words left unsaid are unreliable
Always stepping forward, 01
Always expecting the best future somewhere
If you accept the misfortune of living in resistance, then seek freedom
The creation in red swirls, we must be going crazy
Embracing this reason that can't be resolved, I sing today
