[English]

Someone says, 'Where are you going?'

If you wanna know, come on, follow me

The reason for living: friends and roots

Nothing's gonna change

You know my style

Even with the wind of the times at our back

I know I can

Let's make it boom ourselves

(Word up) Beyond the scenery we saw that day

They say it's a distant dream

Hey, go ahead and smile

Because I already know how to make it come true

Just changing to stay the same

The me I haven't met yet

Turn it up, find it

Ba-Boom Boom Back

Singing from the East to the West

And you better watch your back

This world is like a playground, do what you like

Drawing even the dreams that feel like déjà vu

Aim for the top and enjoy every moment

Until we grasp everything, we never go back

Dreaming because of tears

Still, never enough

Reason for success? How do you feel right now?

On the path, not even the destination

They don't get it (Tell them the truth)

Yeah, I've got the shine (Be the one like this, like that)

There's no room to look back

Make it resonate—Do or Die

They say it's a distant dream

Hey, go ahead and smile

Because I already know how to make it real

Changing just to stay the same

The road I can't see yet

Break through to carve your own path

Ba-Boom Boom Back

Singing from east to west

And you better watch your back

This world is like a playground, do what you like

Drawing every dream, feeling like déjà vu

Aim for the top and enjoy every moment

Until we get everything, we never go back

Even a piece is enough

Even if it's uncertain, that's fine

It's enough to believe

Nonsense called common sense

I have no interest

No one can stop us anymore

Ba-Boom Boom Back

Singing from east to west

And you better watch your back

This world is like a playground, do what you like

Drawing every dream that feels like déjà vu

Aim for the top and enjoy every moment

Until we seize everything, we never go back

We never go back

[Japanese]

誰かが言う ”どこへ行く？”

知りたきゃ Come on, follow me

生きる理由 : 仲間とルーツ

変わりはしない

Ya know my steez

時代の追い風も

I know I can

自分で吹かせよう Booming

(Word up) あの日見てた景色のその彼方へと

遠い夢だと

ねぇどうぞ笑ってよ

もう叶え方なら知っているから

変わらない為変わっていくだけ

まだ知らない僕を

Turn it up 探し出せ

Ba-Boom Boom Back

Singing from the East side to the West side

And you'd better watch your back

この世界 ≒ Play ground, Do what u like

描く どんな夢すらも Dejavu

頂上だけ目掛け 遊び尽くせ

全て掴むまで We never go back

涙の分 夢を見る

まだまだ Never enough

成功の理由？ 今どんな気分？

それどころか道の途中

わかってない (Tell them the truth)

Yes, I got the shine (Be the one like this, like that)

振り返る様な余裕はない

響かせろよ Do or Die

遠い夢だと

ねぇどうぞ笑ってよ

もう叶え方なら知っているから

変わらない為変わっていくだけ

まだ見えない道を

To get a break 切り拓け

Ba-Boom Boom Back

Singing from the East side to the West side

And you'd better watch your back

この世界 ≒ Play ground, do what u like

描く どんな夢すらも Dejavu

頂上だけ目掛け 遊び尽くせ

全て掴むまで We never go back

カケラでも良い

不確かでも良い

信じるには充分さ

常識なんて

興味が無いね

もう誰も止められやしない

Ba-Boom Boom Back

Singing from the East side to the West side

And you'd better watch your back

この世界 ≒ Play ground, do what u like

描く どんな夢すらも Dejavu

頂上だけ目掛け 遊び尽くせ

全て掴むまで We never go back

We never go back
