Lyrics & Translation
There can't be an end either
When I look up after being called
My bangs fall over my eyes
Even if I take a step forward
The scenery doesn't change
A rusty sense of responsibility
Memories are overwhelming
The grid of life
A world I can't reach and let go
Still burning bright
Leaving behind connections
A feeling that my heart is fraying
I can’t take it anymore
There is no future in this place anymore
I can’t take it anymore
Because I felt like I was walking backwards
Spitting everything out
Peeling off the lies
No one can interfere
I can't hold it back
It's time to let it go
I'm sick and tired of walking backwards
If I get lost
Under a low rainy sky
Dissonance echoes
Night after night
Faces that seem familiar
But I don't know them
Raise both hands and celebrate
A false supernova
If it's fiction
In the end, peace will come
Happily ever after
Happily ever after with a smile
Memories are overwhelming
The grid of life
A world I can't reach and let go
Still burning bright
Leaving behind connections
A feeling that my heart is fraying
I can’t take it anymore
There is no future in this place anymore
I can’t take it anymore
Because I felt like I was walking backwards
Spitting everything out
Peeling off the lies
No one can interfere
I can't hold it back
It's time to let it go
I'm sick and tired of walking backwards
I’m unstoppable
No one gets in my way
I’m unstoppable
No one gets in my way
I’m unstoppable
No one gets in my way
I’m unstoppable
Unstoppable
I can’t take it anymore
There is no future in this place anymore
I can’t take it anymore
Because I felt like I was walking backwards
Spitting everything out
Peeling off the lies
No one can interfere
I can't hold it back
It's time to let it go
I'm sick and tired of walking backwards
