Imitation Rain

Imitation Rain

You said “I will be the sky

You said, 'I'll be the sky'

and you will be the sun

and you'll be the sun'

to shine”

to shine in the sky.

Fake dreams

Fake dreams

壊れてゆく

Are breaking apart

ガラスの薔薇のように

Like glass roses

Ah-

Ah-

Imitation Rain

Imitation Rain

時には激しく

Sometimes so intensely

心に降り注ぐ

Falling into my heart

Shall we play this game

Shall we play this game?

紅に染まるまで

Until it turns red

雨に打たれて

Caught in the rain

Dancing in the rain'

Dancing in the rain.

till love

Until love

comes to life

comes alive.

What's the meaning of life

What's the meaning of life?

What's the point of getting it right

What's the point in getting it right?

'Cause everything is fake

'Cause everything's fake.

Everybody blames

Everyone blames

To keep the faith

To keep the faith.

Just say, everything breaks

Just say, everything breaks apart.

Price of fame. What's to blame

The price of fame—what's to blame?

Cuts my mind like a razor blade

It cuts my mind like a razor blade.

Breaking down. I'm breaking down

Breaking down, I'm breaking down.

Piece of mind is shutting down

My peace of mind is shutting down.

Should I play this endless game

Should I keep playing this endless game?

戻れない 時代(とき)を振り返る

Looking back at times I can't return to.

流れる時間を

Time keeps flowing,

止めて

Stop it.

My friend

My friend,

いつかはたどり着くよ

Someday, we'll find our way.

夢の世界に

Into the world of dreams.

Imitation Rain

Imitation Rain

時には激しく

Sometimes so fiercely,

心に降り注ぐ

It pours into my heart.

Shall we play this game

Shall we play this game?

紅に染まるまで

Until it turns red.

雨に打たれて

Getting soaked in the rain.
