Lyrics & Translation
Riding this bus into the future
No, it's far in the past
Well, both are outrageous
Those guys are long gone
Are we useless too?
No matter where I am, I might think "this is such a time," yeah, yeah
Oh shit, this is like Urashima
Gently closed the tamatebako
Smoke rising
Everything has changed
Oh shit, I'm Urashima
Is it smoky? Or is it a fairy tale?
As we pass by each other
Cleared my throat and frowned
Warning, warning, inappropriate phrases
Clicking, realizing the fire is lit
Yummy, yummy, laughing, "dig here"
Ready for what comes next, yeah
Updating day by day
Swinging like a hatchet
Living in fear of what's right
The smart one from some day
On a night like this, I can't seem to sleep
Waiting with you, who also can't sleep, okay, okay, okay
My beautiful day, day, day
Let me hear your state of mind, archipelago
Before the international date line
Taking one more step in, all day, all day
My beautiful day, all day, all day, all day, yeah
To Ryugu Castle and Onigashima
In just a few seconds to the dark side of the moon
In a seemingly smooth fairy tale world
I can never return again
To a cramped, distant future
With focus, vibe, and spirit
With love that transcends time
I want to seek each other once more
I haven't escaped enough
I want to ride this verse
Turning the page again, hey
In the next life, hundreds of years ahead
Are the problems piling up?
Is it already too late?
Hello from this good old, bad time
Surely, nothing will work
Getting cold feet, feeling anxious
A sinful negative legacy
I might leave behind
A hundred harms with no benefit
But I want to be a grandpa with some sense
No matter what awaits, I want to see it with my own eyes, yeah
Warning, warning, how many times will I repeat?
Without caring about appearances
Demeaning the flying birds, satisfied
The crab and the monkey still hate each other, yeah
Wishing flowers bloom on the dead tree
Hurrying the beginning, beginning
Sleeping while fearing tomorrow
The smart one from some day
On a night like this, I can't seem to sleep
Waiting with you, who also can't sleep, okay, okay
My beautiful day, day, day
Let me hear your state of mind, archipelago
Before the international date line
Taking one more step in, all day, all day
My beautiful day, all day, all day, all day, yeah
To Ryugu Castle and Onigashima
In just a few seconds to the dark side of the moon
In a seemingly smooth fairy tale world
I can never return again
To a cramped, distant future
With focus, vibe, and spirit
With love that transcends time
I want to seek each other once more
Who will be the one to ignite the fire tomorrow?
In place of whom, who will hold their breath?
Eyes glaring at each other
Hands gripping each other instead, yeah
Tomorrow, who will be the one to set the fire?
In place of whom, who will thaw the snow?
Acknowledging that we are different
Laughing, snoring, and taking a nap again, yeah
