Lyrics & Translation
The color changed
Beyond the blank, distant memories
Like a drama
My heart pounded
I wonder
Following the footsteps
Standing still at the crossroads
Glossed over with pleasing everyone
The sparkle is beyond the fog
Tell me the truth
When I meet my true self
A future where I love and am loved
Will surely come
I want to keep watching
The transparent glass canvas
The nuance colors painted on it
Faint, sweet, vague
I want to keep searching
With your palette, just as you are
Because I'll only paint the truth
I wander, I wonder
The layered colors flow with tears
Turning into a rainbow
I want to keep watching
The transparent glass canvas
The nuance colors painted on it
Faint, sweet, vague
I want to keep searching
With your palette, just as you are
Because I'll only paint the truth
The sound stopped
The color changed
Like a puzzle, fragments of memory
Someone called out
My heart pounded
I wonder
