Lyrics & Translation

[English] Hope was cruelly fleeting
In that impossible iron heart
Always on the side of possibility
Fated impossibility lurking underneath
A fleeting image
Overflowing terror, terror
The anxiety that already takes over
Get out, get out
My doubts distort my feelings
If things stay like this
Falling down
Failing in the fight
Burning up
Breaking down
The barrier of your calmness
I was trembling, whispering useless things
Hurry up
Flash back, flash back, flash back
Can't even put it into words
With such fragile resolve
There was nothing I could do to save myself
It's a hindrance
Unfinished decisions are useless
Give up
Even for a faint hope
I won’t let go of this hand
But deep inside, I’m really scared
Yet, your words gave me strength
If I have your words, I can fight
There’s no more weakness in me
No matter how many times I’m tempted to turn back
I’ll throw away the chaos
If your voice calls out to me
No stage is off-limits
No matter how many times, I’ll show you my resolve
Even such an enemy can be a masterpiece
Yes, I’ll respond countless times
There’s no failure in me
Despair sometimes gives birth to opportunity
Every time I fall down and roll
The wounds I made became scars
But love remains unchanged
No matter how many times I try
There are things that won’t change
It’s simple—just give up
I think about giving in each time I stumble
Always feeling my feelings deeply
I envisioned what I wanted like this
If I have your words calling out to me
No stage is off-limits
No matter how many times, I’ll fight
I’ve always been watching
Watching with you
Now, toward a future unlike any other, ah
I won’t let anything block me
Yes, my resolve is
Nobody has the right to deprive me of my dreams
I’ll run through this world
Even on days I shed tears
Not a single moment is wasted
Grabbing onto even the faintest wish
Again and again, I forge these connections
That’s how I’ve come this far
With you
No matter how many times I’m tempted to turn back
Always feeling my feelings deeply
I envisioned what I wanted like this
If I have your words calling out to me
No stage is off-limits
No matter how many times, I’ll fight
I’ve always been watching
Watching with you
