Lyrics & Translation

[Japanese]

[English]

朱らむ空が 今日はこんなに怖い

The crimson sky is so frightening today

知らなければ 幸せでいられた?

If I hadn't known, could I have been happy?

暖かい灯火一つまた落ちる

Another warm light falls

こうやって知らぬ間に失っていた

I was losing it without even realizing

あの優しい声 信じてしまったの

I believed in that gentle voice

僕にはそれだけだった

That was all I had

心失くせば楽になれるなんて

They say losing my heart would make it easier

そんなの嘘そのまま壊れちゃう

But that's a lie; it would just break me

甘い闇嘆いても助けは来ない

Even if I lament the sweet darkness, help won't come

「愛してくれ」なんてね 今更

"Love me," you say, but it's too late now

動けもつれる足

My feet are tangled, unable to move

この檻を抜けろ

Break free from this cage

明日をつかむために

To grasp tomorrow

絶望を駆け抜けろ

Run through despair

...

...

ほとばしる汗と燃える心で

With pouring sweat and a burning heart

...

...

確かに僕らは意志を持って生きてる

Indeed, we live with our own will

こうやって狙ってる

I'm aiming like this

諦めはしない

I won't give up

感度を高めて

Raise the sensitivity

じっくりやればいい

Take your time with it

切り開け着実に

Open the way steadily

時が証明するだろう

Time will prove it

...

...
