Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

​​​ ​白(しろ)いカーテンのsway​ ​​

Swaying white curtains

​​​ ​似(に)たような朝(あさ)のようで​ ​​

It feels like a morning that resembles the last

​​​ ​まるで違(ちが)う 交(こう)差(さ)する星(せい)彩(さい)​ ​​

But the colors of the stars are completely different, shifting and crossing

​​​ ​新(あたら)しく目(め)覚(ざ)める "thinking to myself"​ ​​

Waking up anew, thinking to myself

​​​ ​定(てい)型(けい)文(ぶん)のstoryteller micは渡(わた)しちゃ駄(だ)目(め)​ ​​

I can't just use the standard storyteller mic

​​​ ​安(あん)全(ぜん)圏(けん)のobserver error 何(なに)を信(しん)じる？​ ​​

Risking everything in the safety zone, trusting what do you believe?

​​​ ​oh oh​ ​​

oh oh

​​​ ​眩(まぶ)しくて 逸(そ)らした初(しょ)期(き)衝(しょう)動(どう)​ ​​

Too dazzling, I was distracted by that initial shock

​​​ ​今(いま)追(つい)随(ずい)して​ ​​

Now, I follow along

​​​ ​空(から)の愛(あい)の歌(うた)ばかりで​ ​​

With nothing but songs of love from the sky

​​​ ​もう聴(き)き飽(あ)きてきたでしょ​ ​​

You've probably grown tired of hearing them

​​​ ​blackout流(りゅう)星(せい) knock down寸(すん)前(ぜん)​ ​​

Blackout-driven stars, about to fall

​​​ ​退(たい)屈(くつ)してんじゃない？？​ ​​

Aren't you giving up??

​​​ ​"I'm ready to dawn"​ ​​

"I'm ready to dawn"

​​​ ​千(せん)載(ざい)一(いち)遇(ぐう)のnew senseで想(そう)像(ぞう)​ ​​

Imagining with a brand new sense, a once-in-a-lifetime moment

​​​ ​光(こう)速(そく)のsympathyでoh oh oh oh oh​ ​​

With lightning-fast sympathy, oh oh oh oh oh

​​​ ​直(ちょっ)観(かん)主(しゅ)義(ぎ)のinnocenceで創(そう)造(ぞう)​ ​​

Creating with the innocence of pure observation

​​​ ​奇(き)跡(せき)も世(せ)界(かい)も自(じ)分(ぶん)次(し)第(だい)で！​ ​​

Miracles and worlds are all in our own hands!

​​​ ​start to know 革(かく)命(めい)の狼煙(のろし)は​ ​​

Start to know—the signal flare of revolution

​​​ ​start to go 変(へん)化(か)を恐(おそ)れない覚(かく)悟(ご)さ​ ​​

Start to go—fearless of change, with awareness

​​​ ​渇(かわ)いた大(だい)地(ち)を駆(か)ける唯(ゆい)一(いつ)の光(ひかり)​ ​​

Running through the thirsty earth with a single beam of light

​​​ ​変(か)わりたい・変(か)えたい の連(れん)鎖(さ)が​ ​​

The chain of wanting to change, to transform

​​​ ​剥(む)き出(だ)しの魂(たましい)を焚(た)き付(つ)ける​ ​​

Firing up the naked soul

​​​ ​6(ろ)0(く)0(せ)0(ん)万(まん)年(ねん)に一(いち)度(ど)きりの​ ​​

Once in 600 million years

​​​ ​surpriseでドラスティックなkissにしよう​ ​​

Let's make it a surprise, a drastic kiss

​​​ ​Encount!​ ​​

Encounter!

​​​ ​夜(よ)空(ぞら)に駆(か)けた 遠(とお)すぎる欠片(かけら)​ ​​

A distant fragment rushing across the night sky

​​​ ​光(こう)速(そく)超(こ)え 魅(み)せられまだ醒(さ)めない​ ​​

Surpassing the speed of light, still captivated, not awakened yet

​​​ ​惑(わく)星(せい)が導(みちび)くレーダー​ ​​

A radar guided by a wandering star

​​​ ​What do you need?​ ​​

What do you need?

​​​ ​What do you take?​ ​​

What do you take?

​​​ ​望(のぞ)む場(ば)所(しょ)へと​ ​​

To the place you desire

​​​ ​yeah yeah yeah yeah​ ​​

yeah yeah yeah yeah

​​​ ​無(む)謀(ぼう)な夢(ゆめ)なら青(あお)天(てん)井(じょう)​ ​​

If it's just a pointless dream, blue sky welling up

​​​ ​危(あぶ)ないほどアガるhigh-tension​ ​​

Risks dangerously high in tension

​​​ ​突(つ)き抜(ぬ)ける銀(ぎん)河(が)の果(は)てで​ ​​

At the end of the shining silver river

​​​ ​please call me now "Revolute-Meteor"​ ​​

Please call me now, 'Revolute-Meteor'

​​​ ​夢(ゆめ)か現(うつつ)か幻(まぼろし)か​ ​​

Is it a dream, reality, or illusion?

​​​ ​ちゃんとその五(ご)感(かん)で確(たし)かめて hit me!​ ​​

Be sure to confirm with all five senses—hit me!

​​​ ​モニター越(ご)しの輝(かがや)きじゃつまんない​ ​​

Imaginary visions flying high into heaven

​​​ ​目(め)を逸(そら)さず見(み)ててよね​ ​​

Keep your eyes fixed on it

Dawning of freedom

​​​ ​Ah 踏(ふ)み出(だ)した刹(せつ)那(な)​ ​​

Ah, that fleeting moment I stepped forward

​​​ ​色(いろ)付(づ)くnew days 絶(ぜっ)景(けい)update​ ​​

New days painted in color, perfect update

​​​ ​希(き)望(ぼう)も絶(ぜつ)望(ぼう)も自(じ)分(ぶん)次(し)第(だい)で！​ ​​

Hope and despair are all in our own hands!

​​​ ​start to know 革(かく)命(めい)の火(ひ)蓋(ぶた)は​ ​​

Start to know—the lid on the fire of revolution

​​​ ​start to go 変(へん)化(か)を望(のぞ)む強(つよ)い情(じょう)熱(ねつ)だ​ ​​

Start to go—desiring transformation with strong passion

​​​ ​渇(かわ)いた心(こころ)に満(み)ちた孤(こ)高(こう)の光(ひかり)​ ​​

The light filled in a thirsty heart

​​​ ​壊(こわ)しては創(つく)るの連(れん)続(ぞく)が​ ​​

Continuous cycle of destruction and creation

Bringing along a turbulent future
