[English]

Tonight, I'll get off at a different station

That bloomed within my heart

I searched for where my little pride had gone

I never realized it until now

That my heart just couldn't

Until I shed tears

To that familiar lyric

Now I'm desperately searching for excuses

Even if I try to look away

Surely, more than me, before me, even more than me,

Something is creating me

Why can I understand it, I wonder?

These lost days are essays with an unparalleled flavor

Why can I understand it, I wonder?

The days of frustration are all in monochrome, so they can later be filled with colors

Tonight, I'll take a different path

That I had scattered in my heart

I followed the scent of my little pride, but

It's midsummer, with storms and the god of the sea

Azure flames stand out, facial features melting into blue

Monochrome turns to scorched cyan and pale

I always lose sight of it because I don't have enough words

Sorrow grows with the number of excuses

Even if I try to close my eyes

Surely, more than me, before me, even more than me,

Something is creating me

A movie reflected on my eyelids

Why can I understand it, I wonder?

Everything is a revolving lantern, remaining in my heart

Why can I understand it, I wonder?

Everything was a monochrome filled with colors

...

Pulling in the light from that harbor

I've come this far

I was quietly listening to my heartbeat

"We are living the trajectory of jade."

Why can I understand it, I wonder?

Everything is a revolving lantern, remaining in my heart

Why can I understand it, I wonder?

Everything is just like before dawn

Why can I understand it, I wonder?

All the days are essays with an unparalleled flavor

Why can I understand it, I wonder?

All the scenery is monochrome, so we can recall it later

...

[Japanese]

今晩は降りる駅を変え

僕の心に咲いていた

小さなプライドの行方を探した

ずっと 気づけなかったんだ

僕の心がどうにも

あの聴きなれたリリックで

涙を流し出すまで

今どうにか言い訳探して

目をそらしてみようが

きっと僕以上に、僕以前に、僕よりも

僕のことつくってる

僕にはどうしてわかるんだろう

迷える日々がこれとない味のエッセイ

僕にはどうしてわかるんだろう

挫折の日々は色づくため 全部モノクロ

今晩は歩く道を変え

僕の心に撒いていた

小さなプライドの香りを辿ったが

時は真夏 荒天と海神

蒼炎際立つ 骨相青に溶け

モノクロは焦シアン蒼白へ

言葉足らずでいつも見失うの

悲しみは言い訳の数で

目を閉ざしてみようが

ずっと僕以上に、僕以前に、僕よりも

僕のことつくってる

まぶたに映った映画

僕にはどうしてわかるんだろう

全てのことが走馬灯、胸に残っている

僕にはどうしてわかるんだろう

全てのことが色で満ちていたモノクロ

あの港から光を手繰って

ここまで来たんだ

じっと鼓動を聞いていた

「僕たちは、翡翠の軌跡を生きている」

僕にはどうしてわかるんだろう

全てのことが走馬灯、胸に残っている

僕にはどうしてわかるんだろう

全てのことがまるで明くる前のよう

僕にはどうしてわかるんだろう

全ての日々がこれとない味のエッセイ

僕にはどうしてわかるんだろう

全ての景色が思い出すためのモノクロ
