[English]

Left unfulfilled all along—self-righteous emotion

Dodging every doubt—Bring it on, cutting through the wind

Nothing left to lose, nothing left to protect

Our howls will someday fly away into the blue sky

Just tell me everything—searching for the answers

Even if they call it reckless, I don’t care

Now, I’ll open the door—a turnaround, the future I desired

Reaching out, pulling it closer

This is my revolution—just charging forward relentlessly

Even fate—shatter it all, get out of the way

Don’t look back—break free from this monochrome world

The reason I’m here—the days I carry burdens

Even if it all becomes an illusion

Now, I’ll open the door—a turnaround, the future I desired

Reaching out, pulling it closer

This is my revolution—just charging forward relentlessly

Even fate—shatter it all, get out of the way

I’m gonna do it, alright?—No proof, no reason at all

Everyone blocking my path gets no more chances

A hero unlike any other—rise up and laugh

Together, prove my story, yeah

The strength to protect someone—harbor it in this heart

Carve it deep into this heartbeat

Like walking a tightrope

Climb to the top

[Japanese]

満たされないままだった 独りよがりの Emotion

はぐらかすように Bring it on ⾵を切って

失うものなんてない 守るべきものもない

遠吠えはいつか 蒼い空に Fly away

Just tell me everything 答えを探しながら

たとえ無謀だと ⾔われても構わない

今、扉を開けるんだ 起死回⽣ 望んだ Future

⼿を伸ばして たぐり寄せる

This is my revolution ただ 突き進んでいくだけ

運命さえ ⽚っ端から Get out of the way

Donʼt look back モノクロの世界を抜け出して

此処にいる意味が 何かを背負う⽇々が

たとえ幻になったとしても

今、扉を開けるんだ 起死回⽣ 望んだ Future

⼿を伸ばして たぐり寄せる

This is my revolution ただ 突き進んでいくだけ

運命さえ ⽚っ端から Get out of the way

Iʼm gonna do it, alright? 根拠も何もない

⾏く⼿を阻む奴は皆 No more chances

似ても似つかないヒーローに 成り上がれ 笑え

共に Prove my story, yeah

誰かを守る強さを

この⼼臓に宿して

綱渡りのように

Climb to the top

Key Grammar Structures

• 満たされないままだった

  ➔ Passive Voice (with auxiliary verb + past participle) + Past Tense

  ➔ "満たされない" (mitasarenai) is the passive form of "満たす" (mitasu), meaning 'to satisfy'. "ままだった" (mama datta) indicates a continuing state in the past, meaning 'remained' or 'was still'. So it means 'It remained unfulfilled'.

• はぐらかすように

  ➔ Adverbial Usage of Verb Stem + "ように"

  ➔ "はぐらかす" (hagurakasu) means 'to evade' or 'to dodge'. "ように" (you ni) means 'like' or 'as if'. So, "はぐらかすように" (hagurakasu you ni) means 'as if evading' or 'in an evasive manner'.

• 言われても構わない

  ➔ Passive Voice (with auxiliary verb + past participle) + Conditional (ても) + Permission/Indifference (構わない)

  ➔ "言われる" (iwareru) is the passive form of "言う" (iu), meaning 'to be said'. "言われても" (iwarete mo) means 'even if (it) is said'. "構わない" (kamawanai) means 'I don't mind' or 'it's okay'. Therefore, "言われても構わない" (iwarete mo kamawanai) means 'I don't mind even if (it) is said' or 'I don't care if people say (it)'.

• 手を伸ばして たぐり寄せる

  ➔ Verb + て form + Verb (compound sentence showing sequence)

  ➔ "手を伸ばして" (te o nobashite) means 'reach out (your) hand'. "たぐり寄せる" (taguriyoseru) means 'to draw closer; to reel in'. The "て" form connects these two verbs, indicating a sequence of actions. Thus, 'Reach out (your) hand and draw (it) closer'.

• 運命さえ ⽚っ端から Get out of the way

  ➔ さえ (even) Particle Emphasizing a Noun + から (from) Particle Indicating Origin

  ➔ "さえ" (sae) means 'even'. It emphasizes the noun it follows. "運命さえ" (unmei sae) means 'even destiny'. "⽚っ端から" (katappashi kara) means 'from one end' or 'from the very beginning'. The sentence means 'Even destiny, get out of the way, from the start!'

• 何かを背負う⽇々が

  ➔ Object Marker を + Verb + Noun + が (Subject Marker)

  ➔ "何かを背負う" (nanika o seou) means 'to carry something'. "何か" (nanika) is 'something', marked as the object with "を" (o). "背負う" (seou) means 'to carry'. "⽇々が" (hibi ga) is 'days', marked as the subject with "が" (ga). So it means: 'Days when I carry something.'
