[English]

Standing on the board, this pain that pricks like a thorn

The true nature of impatience makes my heart want to mistake it for a dream

Always just going in circles, hey day

If I could just connect, it would be mayday

Even if I become an adult, my mind is still like it was back then

If your nonsense can take away my vision like a lie

The true nature of revenge feels like it's sinking into my lungs, even lead

Living a life where we lean on each other

Intoxicated by the urge to depend

Even if I wear a disguise, if there's a place that can help

The night still hasn't broken, let's dream

Even I can run towards the future, hey

Into a line that feels like a prayer for death

Surrendering to anger, yet sometimes staying calm

The boy who made a pact

A day like back then

May never come again

Just let your voice out

Let's take it easy

I don't know about common sense

With wise eyes, I see the world

This overflowing feeling, let's go

Welcome me with applause and cheers

...

The true nature of revival is words that stand at the edge of despair

This night, where I can't even spit out the painful longing for a place to return to

Always just doing foolish things

Holding up a pathetic dream, feeling refreshed

Even if I die here

It's fine, but what a boring joke

The true nature of love is to wander so as not to suffer, hell and all

Is this the best showtime? There's nothing to lose like now

Saluting the utterly worthless praise

Climb up by clinging, this elite

I just wanted something normal, that was all

Only these rusted eyes can see you

...

The night still hasn't broken, let's dream

Even I can run towards the future, hey

Into a line that feels like a prayer for death

Surrendering to anger, yet sometimes staying calm

The boy who made a pact

A day like back then

May never come again

Just let your voice out

Let's take it easy

I don't know about common sense

With wise eyes, I see the world

This overflowing feeling, let's go

Welcome me with applause and cheers

...

[Japanese]

盤上に立っていた チクリ棘を刺すようなこの痛みなど

焦燥の正体に 夢と勘違いしたくなる心模様

いつだって ただから回るヘイデイ

伝って なんて交わせばメイデイ

大人になったって 今みたいな頭でらったったった

ただ君のナンセンスが 嘘みたいな視界を奪う言葉なら

復讐の正体が 肺にのめり込んだみたい 鉛さえも

寄りかかりあって生きてる人生

依存したい衝動に酩酊

化けを纏ったって 役に立つ居場所があるなら

夜はまだ明けぬまま 夢をみよう

僕にだって ねえ 未来に駆けていけ

祈るような死線へ

怒りに身を任せ 時に冷静でいて

契りを交わした少年

あの頃みたいな今日が

もう来ないとして

ただ声を出していけ

気楽にいこうぜ

常識なんて知らんぜ

聡明な瞳で世界を知る

溢れるこの想いよ いざ

迎えてくれよ 拍手喝采で

起死回生の正体が 絶望の淵に立たされる言葉が

辛い痛い 帰りたい場所もないくらい吐き出せぬこの夜も

いつだって 馬鹿ばっかりやって

ショボい夢掲げては清々

ここでくたばったって

別にいいけど つまんない冗談

愛情の正体が 苦しまぬように惑う 地獄など

最高のショータイムか 何も失うものなんてない今ほどの

クソしょうもない称賛に敬礼

縋って這い上がれこの精鋭

普通が欲しかった ただそれだけだったんだ

錆びたこの眼だけが 君をみよう

夜はまだ明けぬまま 夢をみよう

僕にだって ねえ 未来に駆けていけ

祈るような死線へ

怒りに身を任せ 時に冷静でいて

契りを交わした少年

あの頃みたいな今日が

もう来ないとして

ただ声を出していけ

気楽にいこうぜ

常識なんて知らんぜ

聡明な瞳で世界を知る

溢れるこの想いよ いざ

迎えてくれよ 拍手喝采で
