[English]

Pushed up

Where do you dream of going?

Want to go now? Want to break free?

The paths ahead are limited.

Everyday stats leading us down the road

Where's our current location?

The red lights of traffic jam blink and blare

Spinning round and round

Radars, asking what's ahead

"It's too early" or "No way"

Hey, come back, back, back!

Chasers, chasing after those who move ahead

Sympathy for tired wanderers

Hey, you!

The path of the light is hidden in the dark.

Run through the night or bet on dawn

Drive through the darkness, heading toward the light

Can you doubt the familiar navigator?

No limit, infinite possibilities

Beyond zero into possibility

No limit, boundless and free

Proceed into the uncharted

Doubt the navigator. (NAVIGATOR...)

No hope!

A retreat without resistance, pushing your speed limit

Countless regrets guarded by transparent rule lines

Fall back, stay silent and you’ll never break free

Without purpose, just spinning this round and round

The ray is chasing after one truth

The path is waiting to be lit...

How to escape? A moment flashes—retreat

Cowardice blowing in the wind, like paper?

No, if you can't step forward, just go around

Hey guys! Yes, go forward. No turning back.

No brakes, of course, break through.

Come on, move aside. Tired now.

The ray of hope will start to burn

Calling out to those with no path

Pushed up

Hey, you!

The way of the light lies hidden in the dark.

Run through the night or bet on sunrise

Drive through the darkness, heading toward the light

Can you doubt the familiar navigator?

No limit, infinite

Beyond zero, into endless potential

No limit, boundless and free

Advance into the uncharted

Doubt the navigator.

Keep moving into the unexplored

Doubt the navigator.

Beyond zero, into endless possibilities

Unlimited... Don't be afraid... Unlimited...

[Japanese]

“･･･PICHED UP”

Where do you long to be?

Wanna go now？ Wanna be free？

Ways to go are limited.

日常的統計　導き出す Ways down

Where's the 現在地？

渋滞の真っ赤な灯りが Clicks & clicks

Turns round & round

Radars, 行く手を問えば

“時期尚早だ”　“No wayだ”

“Hey, come back, back, back！”

Chasers, 行く背を追えば

疲れた迷い子のシンパシー

Hey, you！

Way of the light is laying in the dark.

夜を駆けるか　夜明けに賭けるか

Drive in the dark, go way to the light.

No hope！

抵抗なき敗走、　自主最高速度制限

透明な規制線に守られたる数多の後悔

退きな、間抜けに黙ってればこのまま抜け出せない

当ても無く　ただ吹かす　この Round & Round

“The ray is chasing for one truth”

“The way is waiting for lighting･･･”

How go out？　瞬間よぎる Retire

臆病風　Like a papers？

否、踏み込めなきゃ Just go around

Yo guys！ Yes “Go”. No “Back alright”.

ノーブレーキ　当然　Break it.

さぁ、そこ退け Tired

“道無きを誘う”
