Lyrics & Translation
The world changes so suddenly
The world changes so suddenly
It’s not about anger
It’s not about rage
Living is so hard, isn’t it?
Face each other honestly
Don’t underestimate the toughness of facing it head-on
I’ll deliver it all—from inside my heart
And shout that I want to protect this world with you
立ち向かう厳しさを
It’s still close, right here with us
すべて届けるよ胸の中
The future may seem buried in darkness
It’s not about sadness; we’re just imperfect
It’s tough to tell how we really feel now
We should stay calm and strong
Because I swear we’ll never forget
Humans are strange, fragile but interesting
I’ll show all my flaws openly
I won’t wait for an unseen tomorrow
The distance between us isn’t far
Without warning, the future
Not because we’re sad
We can’t express ourselves well
Especially now, I think we should
Remember the kindness that fights on
We’ll never forget, I promise
Humans are so interesting, so fragile
Show all your flaws
I won’t wait for the unseen future
The distance between us isn’t far
And will remain so
でもね届けるよ胸の中
ダサい姿も全部晒そう
あなたいるこの世界守りたいと叫ぶ
見えない明日は待たない
今もあなたの無事を祈る
絶対距離は遠くないんだ
今も近くにあるんだ
