Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

Hmmm, indestructible (Indestructible)

Hmmm, indestructible (Indestructible)

Yeah yeah

Yeah yeah

...

...

早いのね月日流れ The way we are

Time flows quickly, the way we are

想い合っていたはずがいつからか

We were supposed to care for each other, but since when

口論 無言 全てを共にしたわ

Arguments, silence, we shared everything

それでもその声でホッとしてる

Still, I feel relieved by that voice

How you like me?

How you like me?

新しい感情論は

New emotions

It's so hard

It's so hard

簡単じゃないけどあったかい

It's not easy, but it's warm

この Indestructible unbreakable

This indestructible, unbreakable

決して壊れない絆

A bond that will never break

魂は Twin soul (Twin soul)

Our souls are twin souls (twin souls)

たとえあなたが崖から

Even if you were to

落ちそうになったとしても

Seem like you're about to fall off a cliff

その手だけは はなさないの

I won't let go of that hand

Indestructible

Indestructible

守り抜くから

Because I will protect you

...

...

あなたのおかげかな随分 I like myself (I like myself)

Maybe it's thanks to you that I like myself so much (I like myself)

嫌いなこともだいぶね減ったりして (減ったりして)

The things I disliked have decreased quite a bit (decreased)

愛を知ると人は強くなれるって

They say that knowing love makes a person stronger

遠い昔パパが言っていたこと

A long time ago, my dad said that

混線中

In a mixed signal

想いはうまく届くかな

I wonder if my feelings will reach you well

だけど

But

素直に今伝えたい

I want to express it honestly now

ときに大切なものはただ

Sometimes, the important things are just

Invisible 目に見えないだから

Invisible, unseen, that's why

何度も言わなきゃ (Say to you)

I have to say it many times (Say to you)

触れることなく散ってゆく

Without touching, they scatter away

真実に触れたくて

I want to touch the truth

この Destiny ありがとう

Thank you for this destiny

船をだそう 吹きすさぶ (Raising)

Let's set sail, blowing fiercely (Raising)

嵐の中 Surrender

In the storm, surrender

決してやめない

I will never stop

連なる想い繋いで

Connecting our intertwined feelings

まだ Never ever 見ない世界へ

Still, to a world I've never seen

この Indestructible unbreakable

This indestructible, unbreakable

決して壊れない絆

A bond that will never break

確かな Our soul

Our certain soul

たとえ誰かが私を

Even if someone tries to

傷つけようとしても

Hurt me

何があっても

No matter what happens

大丈夫大切なものは

It's okay, the important things are

Invisible 目に見えない だから

Invisible, unseen, that's why

何度も言いたいの

I want to say it many times

あなた無しでは今この

Without you, I wouldn't be here now

私はなかったよ

This destiny

この Destiny

Indestructible (Indestructible)

Indestructible (Indestructible)

Indestructible

Indestructible

Indestructible
