Lyrics & Translation

[English] I’ve come back to life
The days I’ve been myself
Have started to move
Towards the unknown
The unknown is dark
People are completely fooling around
It was silly
The more I head toward it
My exhausted hope is
Still unnecessary
Sunshine spills in through the window and blurs
The seasons dance with the wind and sing a song
It's meaningless, right?
Strangely beautiful and gritty
While I don’t understand
I’ve overcome sadness
Just by breathing
That’s the proof
Like weaving together
Walking, then stopping
Losing and reclaiming
That’s all there is
The more it dances
The loneliness I received
Because I can share it
Let’s talk under the breaking night sky here
The ‘now’ is beyond the past and future
You’ll do well
Even words that lack responsibility
Are things I don’t understand
Sunshine pours in through the window and blurs
Seasons dance with the wind and sing a poem
It's all nonsense, right?
Strangely beautiful and earthy
While I don’t understand
