Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

こぼれ落ちた悲しみも

こぼれ落ちた悲しみも

溢れ出した思い出も

And the overflowing memories

すごく大切なものになってて なってて なってて

Have become something so precious, so precious, so precious

壊れやすいものばかり

Mostly fragile things

優しさだけ溢れてて

Only kindness overflows

立ち止まれないさだめが襲うよ 焦燥感

A fate that can’t stop, comes crashing with impatience

一瞬の出来事

Just a fleeting moment

あぁ もう全然足りない

Ah, it’s not nearly enough

自問自答だ

I ask myself

愛とは？定まってる？

What is love? Is it certain?

まだまだいけるの？

Can I still go further?

それは本気で言えるの？

Can I really say that?

えでもどこまでできるの？

But how much further can I go?

えまだまだまだ足りないじゃん

Still, it’s not enough, not enough at all

果てのない問いかけに

To endless questioning

立ち向かって 化物たちはここまできて

Facing it down, monsters have come this far

もしも 僕ら消えたとしても

Even if we disappear

どこかへ行きどこか向かってくでしょ?

Somewhere we’ll go and head toward, right?

どうか 僕ら続きますように

Please, let us keep going

心の中奥に深く深く強く

Deep, deep inside my heart, strongly

壊れやすいものばかり

Mostly fragile things

優しさだけ溢れてて

Only kindness overflows

立ち止まれないさだめが襲うよ 焦燥感

A fate that can’t stop, comes crashing with impatience

まだまだいけるの？

Can I still go further?

それは本気で言えるの？

Can I really say that?

えでもどこまでできるの？

But how much further can I go?

えまだまだまだ足りないじゃん

It’s not enough, not enough at all

見失わないように

So I won’t lose sight

手を取りあって 化物たちが歩いてきて

Holding hands, monsters walk forward

もしも 僕ら消えたとしても

Even if we disappear

どこかへ行きどこか向かってくでしょ?

Somewhere we’ll go and head toward, right?

どうか 僕ら続きますように

Please, let us keep going

心の中奥に深く深く強く

Deep, deep inside my heart, strongly

壊れやすいものばかり

Mostly fragile things

優しさだけ溢れてて

Only kindness overflows

立ち止まれないさだめが襲うよ 焦燥感

A fate that can’t stop, comes crashing with impatience

...

果てのない問いかけに

Somewhere we’ll go and head toward, right?

どうか 僕ら続きますように

Please, let us keep going

心の中奥に深く深く強く

Deep, deep inside my heart, strongly
