Lyrics & Translation
Are you ready?
A dramatic new period is
In the swirling drought of Gaia
Struggling and fighting while
Repeating the reboot
In this technically hard era, expectations slip through
Connecting civilization and fate, I want to believe in what lies ahead
Just a tiny bit, but surely
A drama betting on a chance
Each shining with their own prestige
Continuing to challenge while breaking down
If it's my future, it's up to me
Jumping over common sense to a new world, Lego
Fun fun we hit the step & step & step
The world is overflowing with unexpected labyrinths
I want to dash through as if dancing
Into the age of wind, making 0 to 1
Just draw your own story
PARADOX
Are you ready?
PARADOX
Are you ready?
Let's start the miracle
Setting sail on Theseus's Star ship
A journey into the unknown (Take a gamble)
If it's change or die, now is the timing
Pop Pop, shine on top
Unpredictable events
Just waiting won't do, no no
Let's kick hard and step forward
To that 'still unknown zone' someday
Hopeful self-affirmation
Then it's identity
Let's push through even more
Staying wrong won't get us anywhere
Goodbye to a mind stained with hate
Fun fun we hit the step & step & step
The world is overflowing with unexpected labyrinths
I want to dash through as if dancing
Into the age of wind, making 0 to 1
Just draw your own story
PARADOX
In the infinite universe I can see (Deep inside)
Filling up with PARADOX
The remaining time limit
Accelerating even further
Sure love, swirling lie
Good and evil always flip sides, driving us mad
Break down
Shall we clash?
Break down
Pride and soul
Break down
Towards the fate ahead
Fun fun we hit the step & step & step
The world is overflowing with unexpected labyrinths
I want to dash through as if dancing
Into the age of wind, making 0 to 1
Just draw your own story
PARADOX
Are you ready?
PARADOX
Are you ready?
Towards the fate ahead
PARADOX
Are you ready?
PARADOX
Are you ready?
Let's start the miracle
