Lyrics & Translation
An active, selfish touch
Living off pleasure
It's dangerous close combat
Unhideable voltage
Probably everyone just observes quietly
Maybe that’s happiness too
Instant ecstasy at the push of a button
A loneliness you can't escape
The clown laughs, saying it's okay now
I see, then is life over? ...And we're moving on!
With a single-mindedness full of intuition
Boring prejudices turn to dust
Right now, this is the perfect moment, so look
Stop getting in the way
Beating fiercely, flowing along my heart
Choosing an aimless route
Vividly filling the overlooked gaps in someone’s drama
Dive deep everywhere—this is the game you challenged
A gaze like roaring flames is your ticket
I'm tired of lukewarm, cheap sympathy
Beyond common sense, a charismatic rebel
Where is the enemy that embodies chaos?
Land, sea, or sky? Or maybe inside myself?
Modern warfare collapsing, fitting chaos
Risking life like in Death Valley
Call those left hope
Instant ecstasy at the push of a button
I just can't stop this, no matter what
Why does pointless bloodshed happen?
If it's annoying
Just ignore it... and we're moving on!
The repression that demands restraint makes this world even worse
Right now, this is the perfect moment, so look
Don’t get in the way
Waiting forever for the answer dyed in blue
Let's change the world
This is the ultimate theorem
If you can’t understand, just play it
It's okay not to understand
Is it wrong to have my own sense of justice?
Keep rebelling
To the point where breathless
Chain together your choices,
Make them beautiful
If you can envision it
It will become proof
Imagine it
No one can catch up
Beating fiercely, flowing along my heart
Choosing aimless routes
Vividly filling the gaps in someone’s overlooked drama
Delve endlessly—this is the game you challenged
A gaze like blazing flames is your ticket
I'm sick of lukewarm, cheap sympathy
Beyond common sense, a charismatic rebel
Right here, this is the perfect spot, so look
Don’t get in the way
