[English]

CRUCIAL MOMENT... YOU RISE

CRUCIAL MOMENT... TIME FLIES

OF AN ERA...

’CAUSE WE KNOW “EUPHORIA”

“EUPHORIA” Becomes Everything

“EUPHORIA” Questions the Verse

The moment we meet and cross paths, awakening the future

Dust swirling, blurry ways

Heartbeat in my chest, slow pain

An imbalance of truth and lies

Hope tests our hearts

Acid-Jazz-Rain, unpredictable rain

Thinking of you, with no umbrella

Chase the answer

Gain, gain, gain... gaining ground, no doubt

Get on, get on, get on, step forward

’CAUSE WE KNOW “EUPHORIA”

Connecting, you and I, foreshadowing

Let’s go (It’s true)

To endless horizons (Journey from now)

Without even believing, overcoming the loneliness, the harsh reality

(Even destiny deceives)

Never surrender

“EUPHORIA,” everything is becoming

“EUPHORIA,” a story unfolds

“EUPHORIA”

The moment we meet and cross paths, awakening the future

Even drifting in dreams, surely

Feel the gravity of life

Brilliant eyes that almost forget to breathe

These feelings won’t fade away

Invisible pain, the rain of that day

Because I can wipe it away, realize futures

Gaze, gaze, gaze... gaze at the stars, even past lives

Get back, get back, get back, follow it

’CAUSE WE HAVE “EUPHORIA”

Impulse kept hidden (the desire or impulse that’s concealed)

Through the clouds (Break down)

“EUPHORIA” (Can’t stop me now)

Every time you call my name, like forgiving each other

(Accepting each day)

Spreading wings

’CAUSE WE KNOW “EUPHORIA”

Draw a course and move forward

’CAUSE WE HAVE “EUPHORIA”

Anywhere

[Japanese]

CRUCIAL MOMENT... YOU RISE

CRUCIAL MOMENT... TIME FLIES

OF AN ERA...

GET ON, GET ON, GET ON　踏み出せ

呼吸(イキ)を忘れそうなBRILLIANT EYES

この感情は散らない

INVISIBLE PAIN　あの日の雨

拭(ヌグ)える僕で居るから　REALIZE FUTURES

GAZE, GAZE, GAZE... GAZE AT STARS　前世さえも

GET BACK, GET BACK, GET BACK　辿って

’CAUSE WE HAVE “EUPHORIA”

翳(カザ)したままの衝動

雲間へ (BREAK DOWN)

’CAUSE WE HAVE “EUPHORIA”

何処へも
