[English]

(SHOOT one hitting)

(SHOOT two hitting)

(SHOOT It’s kidding)

(SHOOT Let’s do it!)

A flame with nowhere to go

Scattering sparks, Sparking

So intense it takes your breath away

A heart thumping awake

Smooth and silent

As cold as it gets

In the thickening darkness

I search for love

About to be swallowed up

By this irrational misfortune

Even so, the rules stir me to action

I don’t wanna lose

For those who can't fight right now

A strong future will never come

Backdraft Love

I know I know I know, if you open the door to love

It relights, so come on, imagine it

A revolution (Wow!)

Just like an illusion

I won't give you a moment to blink

(We gotta target on!)

A finishing shot dealt by my own hand

Invisible to anyone

A sweet, seductive show

(We gotta target on!)

From my perspective, it's all in slow motion

Firing off a no-motion BANG!!

(We gotta target on!)

Crying or laughing

If that's something you can do

La ta ta ta ta ta

BANG!!

Intersecting gazes

And treacherous snipers

Slipping through

The ultimate thrill

Bluff or truth?

So clever and subtle

That even I

Lose sight of my own love

But it feels like I can take it back

This irrational

Surging emotion

I don’t wanna lose

I won't let anyone else

Decide what is important to me

Backdraft Love

I know I know I know, if you open the door to love

It relights, so come on, imagine it

A revolution (Wow!)

Just like an illusion

I won't give you a moment to blink

(We gotta target on!)

Choose whichever you prefer

But I'll always choose the risky way

(We gotta target on!)

Sending it flying at high speed

Spinning dizzily

Living life

(We gotta target on!)

Using everything I've got

Everything I touch turns to light

Darkside, lightside

A wavering heart, yet I still choose love

Your love...

To the flame in my heart that was fading out

With the oxygen of your love

Just breathe it in, and watch it Burn!

Backdraft Love

I know I know I know, if you open the door to love

It can't be stopped

It pulls everything into it

(Back off now!)

Backdraft Love

I know I know I know, if you open the door to love

It relights, so come on, imagine it

A revolution (Wow!)

Just like an illusion

I won't give you a moment to blink

(Let’s go)

Even with my eyes closed, I won't miss

Ride on time with these raw emotions

(We gotta target on!)

Keep the stakes light, but the resolve heavy

Piercing through, this is my aesthetic (Big up!)

Crying or laughing

If I can do it with you

La ta ta ta ta ta

La ta ta ta ta ta

BANG!!

[Japanese]

(SHOOT one hitting)

(SHOOT two hitting)

(SHOOT Let’s do it!)

行き場のない炎が

火花散らし Sparking

息詰まるほど

目覚める鼓動

音もなくスムース

冷酷なほど

濃くなる闇の中で

飲み込まれそうな

不条理な不遇

それでも奮い立つルール

I don’t wanna lose

いま戦えない奴に

強くなる未来なんてこないぜ

Speedy に飛ばしてく

Spinning 目まぐるしく

生きる

(We gotta target on!)

あるもの全部使う

おれが手に取れば全部光る

Darkside lightside

揺れる心 それでも選ぶ愛

君の愛。。。

消えかけてた心の炎に

君の愛のO2

吹き込めばほら Burn!

君とできるならば

La ta ta ta ta ta

La ta ta ta ta ta

• 飲み込まれそうな不条理な不遇

  ➔ Verb (Passive stem) + sou na (Likelihood/Appearance)

  ➔ The suffix "~sou na" added to the passive verb "nomikomareru" describes a situation that seems like it might swallow the subject.

• いま戦えない奴に強くなる未来なんてこないぜ

  ➔ Negative potential verb + ni (Target/Subject of sentence)

  ➔ The "ni" here marks the person (yatsu) who is the subject "receiving" the outcome (the future) of "not coming."

• 愛の扉開けばさ

  ➔ Conditional "ba" (If...)

  ➔ The verb "hiraku" (to open) combined with "-ba" forms the conditional "hirakeba," meaning "if/when you open."

• またたく暇なんて与えないぜ

  ➔ Noun + nante (Emphasis/Dismissal)

  ➔ "Nante" here emphasizes the lack of time given, implying that "even a moment to blink" is unnecessary or will not be allowed.

• 君ができるならば

  ➔ Noun/Verb + nara(ba) (If/In the case of)

  ➔ "Nara(ba)" establishes a premise: "If it is the case that you can do it."

• 誰も決めさせやしないぜ

  ➔ Causative + Negative (Saseru + Nai)

  ➔ The causative "saseru" (to let/make) followed by "-yashinai" (emphatic negative) means "I definitely won't let anyone decide."

• 目を閉じたって外さない

  ➔ Verb (Ta-form) + tatte (Even if)
