Lyrics & Translation

[English] I kept running, thinking that
if I stopped, it would all be over
But the glittering stars above the pedestrian bridge
were laughing at me with the size of the universe
I tried to quietly bury it
I want to liberate the longing
Let's go find a fading star of possibility
I'll probably get lost again somewhere
But it's not too late now
A brand new "want" is coming soon
Hey, can you see it?
It's blinking
The light is a plane taking off
Carrying the lives of many people
Carrying dreams, carrying tomorrow
"If I live in a faraway town
will I meet a different me?"
An escape from reality flashes through my mind
Come on, shout it out, Les Paul
Crush my twisted thoughts
A brand new "want" is coming soon

A poem bidding farewell
While dedicating it to this world
Let's kiss the clinging melancholy
Somewhere it's surely waiting
That planet is waiting for me

I kept the longing
I want to liberate the longing
Let's go find a fading star of possibility
I'll probably get lost again somewhere
But it's not too late now
A brand new "want" is coming soon
A brand new "want" is coming soon
