Lyrics & Translation
The colors have changed
It was a blank space, beyond the memories
It feels like a drama
The heartbeat has sounded
I wonder
Following the footprints
Stopping at the crossroads
I masked it with a charming facade
The sparkle is beyond the mist
Tell me the truth
When I met my true self
A future of loving and being loved
Will surely come
I want to keep gazing
A transparent glass canvas
The nuanced colors I painted
Are pale, sweet, and ambiguous
I want to keep searching
With your honest palette
I will only paint the truth
Sha-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
I wander, I wonder
The layered colors flow with tears
Because they turn into a rainbow
I want to keep gazing
A transparent glass canvas
The nuanced colors I painted
Are pale, sweet, and ambiguous
I want to keep searching
With your honest palette
I will only paint the truth
The sound has stopped
The colors have changed
Like puzzle pieces, fragments of memories
Someone called out
The heartbeat has sounded
I wonder
