Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

照らすは闇

What lights the way is darkness

僕らは歩き慣れてきた日々も淘汰

We're weeding out the days we've grown accustomed to

夢は安泰な暮らしだが

My dream is a peaceful life

刺激不足故にタラタラ

But it's so boring, I'm just lazing around

照らすは熄み

What lights the way is fading

僕らの歩き慣れていた道はどこだ　

Where is the road we were used to walking?

時はたまに癪だが　

Time can be annoying sometimes

温もりに包まれ只

But embraced by warmth, I simply

炎が立つ

The flames rise

導の方へ

Towards the guidance

思い出すは優しいメロディー

I remember a gentle melody

永遠は無いんだと 無いんだと云フ

Eternity doesn't exist, it doesn't exist

それもまたイイねと笑ってみる

I laugh and say, "That's fine too"

輝けばいつかは光も絶える　

If it shines, the light will eventually fade

僕らは命の火が消えるその日まで歩いてゆく

We'll keep walking until the fire of our lives goes out

ところで何故

By the way, why

僕らは思考を急に辞めているんだ　　

Have we suddenly stopped thinking?

夢は安泰な暮らしだが

My dream is a peaceful life

知識不足故にハラハラ

But I'm so lacking in knowledge, I'm nervous

食せばYummy

If I eat it, it's yummy

ヨスガに縋り付いたまま朽ちて行くんだ

Clinging to fate, we rot away

ここは業火の中だが

This is the middle of a blazing inferno

傷跡がヒリつき只

But the scars are throbbing, I simply

水面が立つ

The surface of the water rises

光の方へ　

Towards the light

手を取るは新しいメモリー　

What I take is a new memory

夜空が分かつ

The night sky divides

導の方へ

Towards the guidance

遮るは堅苦しいセオリー

What blocks the way are rigid theories

永遠は無いんだと 無いんだと云フ

Eternity doesn't exist, it doesn't exist

やっぱ苦しいねと泣いてみる

I cry and say, "It's still painful"

風船もいつかは萎むか割れる

Balloons will eventually shrink or burst

僕らは命の泉を護り続けて繋いでゆく

We will keep protecting the spring of life and keep connecting it

学びきれずに卒業

Graduating without learning enough

伝えきれずに失恋

Losing love without conveying enough

遊びきれずに決別

Saying goodbye without playing enough

面倒臭いが

It's a pain, but

地獄じゃあるまいし

It's not hell

音が出る玩具も

Toys that make sounds

痛みを飛ばす魔法も

Magic that blows away the pain

全部僕にとっての宝物

Are all treasures to me

永遠は無いんだと 無いんだと云フ

Eternity doesn't exist, it doesn't exist

僕らは命の火が消えるその日まで歩いてゆく

We'll keep walking until the fire of our lives goes out
