Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

AH, 苦い苦いの 私由来の無駄なダメージ

Ah, bitter, bitter pain that's all my own, such useless damage.

AH, 「マインド1つです」 幸福呪文の史実

Ah, 'It's just a matter of one mind,' the truth of the happiness spell.

AH, 苦い以外の刺激の効いたフックで

Ah, with a stimulating hook that’s more than just bitter.

世界をどうか 私をどうか

Please, let the world be, please, let me be.

Hey! 白昼夢スターライト

Hey! Daydream star light.

眩しいけど見る まだ終われない

Though dazzling, I see it—can't still end this.

平気なフリをしてない？

Aren't you pretending to be okay?

寂しい夜 隠れるシャイな君だけど

On a lonely night, hiding, you're shy, but it's just you.

いいよ もっともっと良いように

It's okay, let’s make it even better.

いいよ もっと自由で良いよ

It's okay, it's fine to be more free.

いいよ もっともっと良いように

It's okay, let's make it even better.

いっそ楽しもう Magicで日々を

Let’s just enjoy the days with magic.

AH, Should I 何を？

Ah, should I do what?

私は何が出来るんだろう

I wonder what I can do.

おもちゃの剣を振りかざした One day

One day, I wielded a toy sword.

AH, 期待以上の夢にまで見たトリップをして

Ah, I trip to a dream bigger than expectations.

あの日に描いた 虹色のドラゴンと

With a rainbow-colored dragon I drew that day.

Hey! 永遠のトワイライト

Hey! Eternal twilight.

優しい人で居たいと痛いが止まんない

Wanting to be a kind person, but the pain just won't stop.

平和を願い続けたい

I want to keep wishing for peace.

苦しい意味 忘れた Busyな君だけど

For the painful meanings, I forget, though you're busy.

いいよ もっともっと良いように

It's okay, let's make it even better.

いいよ もっと気楽で良いよ

It's okay to be more relaxed.

いいよ もっともっと良いように

It's okay, let's make it even better.

いっそ楽しもう 呆れる日々を

Let's just enjoy the ridiculous days.

私を奮い立たせて

Reignite myself.

無理矢理連れて行って

Take me by force.

凝り固まったこの甲羅を

And tear off this hardened shell.

引き剥がして欲しいの

I want you to peel away this shell.

いいよ もっともっと良いように

It's okay, let's make it even better.

いいよ もっと自由で良いけども

It's okay to be more free, though.

そう簡単には行かないな全部

Nothing's that easy, not everything.

探すは Magic

What I seek is magic.

Hey! 白昼夢スターライト

Hey! Daydream star light.

眩しいけど見る まだ終われない

Though dazzling, I see it— can't still end this.

平気なフリをしてない？

Aren't you pretending to be okay?

寂しい夜 隠れるシャイな君だけど

On a lonely night, hiding, you're shy, but it's just you.

Hey! 永遠のトワイライト

Hey! Eternal twilight.

優しい人で居たいと痛いが止まんない

Wanting to be a kind person, but the pain just won't stop.

平気なフリをしていたい

I want to keep pretending to be okay.

哀しいなら 足の先まで踊ろう

If you're sad, dance from your toes up.

いいよ もっともっと良いように

It's okay, let's make it even better.

いいよ もっと自由で良いよ

It's okay to be more free.

いいよ もっと思ってる以上に

It's okay, think more than you believe.

いっそ楽しもう Magicで日々を

Let's just enjoy the days with magic.

Wow…o-o-o

Wow... O-o-o.

Wow…o-o-o

Wow... O-o-o.

いいよ もっともっと良いように

It's okay, let's make it even better.

いっそ楽しもう Magicで日々を

Let's just enjoy the days with magic.
