[English]

There's no way to know the absolute minimum

I'm back at square one

Year after year I keep stacking up

Don't forget

I knew from the start, didn't I?

Your God is only you

And my God too

This is destiny

I've set my sights

Late twenties now

Always remember this song, it's archived

My mind is filled with You & Me

The challenge I set for myself in front of you

No imitation, just me

A big circle

More than stars I prayed for in the sky

A stage where the value shined dozens of times more

The world where I see myself shining brightly for you

Dazzling, sometimes I lose myself

The days I danced recklessly

From the boy who cried and fought

I am my own god

We are, we are, I wish

We are, we are, I wish

Believers forever

I am my own god

We are, we are, I wish

We are, we are, I wish

Believers forever

Numbers bounce and blow

Glowing numbers

Chu Ma Baby

Believing i for believers

If I can't speak my true feelings

Whose music is this for?

Those chasing money, cogs in a crazy era

Those who are lost

We're the same too

Hit me up anytime

My phone number is i

My shadow has no confidence

That guy worried about my future, probably an alien

Just want to prove myself

If I can't love myself

The future is all imagination

This race comes with pain

I see through all behind the smiles

Wish I could, we know

Breaking the ideal image

Crush and break down walls

My babe, crying

The critical point of my name

The eyes I want to change

I am my own god

We are, we are, I wish

We are, we are, I wish

Believers forever

I am my own god

We are, we are, I wish

We are, we are, I wish

Believers forever

Hey, I ask my future self

Make a wish upon the faded sky

La La La

I want to surpass my entertainer

La La La

The flavor of the stars I've swallowed

La La La La La

There's no end, okay?

Let's force our way open

Just pray to me

I am my own god

We are, we are, I wish

We are, we are, I wish

Believers forever

I am my own god

We are, we are, I wish

We are, we are, I wish

Believers forever

Numbers blow and bounce

Glowing numbers

Chu Ma Baby

Believing I for believers

[Japanese]

There's No Way To Know最低

振り出しに戻ってる

Every Year重ねる

忘れないでよ

はじめからわかっていたんだよな

お前の神様はお前でしかなくて

俺の神様も

これは運命

狙いは定めた

20代も終盤

ずっと忘れないこの曲をアーカイブ

頭の中はYou&Me

俺が俺にお前の前で課した試練

誰のマネでもない

デカい輪

空に祈った星より

何十倍の価値が光ったステージ

お前から見る俺がいる世界はキラキラ

眩しくてたまに自分見失ったり

がむしゃらに踊った日

泣いたり喰らったりのボーイから

I Am My Own God

We Are We Are 願う

We Are We Are 願う

本音ぶちまけれなきゃ

誰のための音楽だ？

銭求めたやつら 狂った時代の歯車

迷ってるやつら

俺らだって同じさ

いつでも連絡してきな

Telephone Numberはi

自信がないMy影分身

俺の将来を心配したアイツはたぶん宇宙人

見返したいだけ

自分を愛せなきゃ

これから先はImagination

このレースは痛みを伴う

笑顔の裏も全部見破る

できたらいいのにーなWe Know

壊す理想像

敗れて破る壁

泣いてるMy Babe

My Name臨界点
