[English]

Ah, just like always

I yawn at the passing days

Crossing through the bustling night again today

Morning falls in Shibuya

It feels somewhat empty

That kind of feeling

It's boring

But that's okay

That's just how it is

It's fine like this

Unknowingly hidden away

Let your true voice resonate, look

Even if I pretend not to see

It's certainly there

Ah, I draw as I feel

In the colors I've chosen myself

In the sleepy air of morning

A blue world has arrived

Saying I love what I love

It's terrifying, but

I felt like I met my true self

I thought I could find it

Ah, the more I reach out

The further it goes

Today, too, doesn't go as I wish

Again, I'm struggling in a hurry

The feeling of regret is just pitiful

Tears fall

The more I step in, the more it hurts

It becomes painful

Ah, I move forward as I feel

On this path I've chosen

On a night rubbing my heavy eyelids

I clung to a blue vow

Continuing to do what I love

It's not just fun

I can really do it

I feel anxious, but

Ah, no matter how many times, look, no matter how many times

I've drawn because I lack confidence

Ah, no matter how many times, look, no matter how many times

What I've built up becomes my weapon

Even if I look around, no matter who I compare to

What can only I do?

Even now, I have no confidence, but still

Feelings I've never felt before

Thoughts I didn't know

Stepping out that day

All this pain I felt for the first time

By facing what I love

I touched a still small light

It's okay, let's go, all that's left is to enjoy

Ah, I draw everything I have

In colors only I can produce

Running through both morning and night

I found a blue light

Facing what I love

It's still scary now, but

I'm no longer the transparent me from that day

Ah, just as I am

An irreplaceable me

Unknowingly hidden away

Let your true voice resonate, look

Even if I pretend not to see

It's certainly there, still there now

Unknowingly hidden away

Let your true voice resonate, come on

Even if I pretend not to see

It's certainly there, within you

...

[Japanese]

嗚呼いつもの様に

過ぎる日々にあくびが出る

さんざめく夜越え今日も

渋谷の街に朝が降る

どこか虚しいような

そんな気持ち

つまらないな

でもそれでいい

そんなもんさ

これでいい

知らず知らず隠してた

本当の声を響かせてよほら

見ないフリしていても

確かにそこにある

嗚呼 感じたままに描く

自分で選んだその色で

眠い空気纏う朝に

訪れた青い世界

好きなものを好きだと言う

怖くて仕方ないけど

本当の自分

出会えた気がしたんだ

嗚呼 手を伸ばせば伸ばすほどに

遠くへゆく

思うようにいかない今日も

また慌ただしくもがいてる

悔しい気持ちも ただ情けなくて

涙が出る

踏み込むほど 苦しくなる

痛くもなる

嗚呼 感じたままに進む

自分で選んだこの道を

重いまぶた擦る夜に

しがみついた青い誓い

好きなことを続けること

それは楽しいだけじゃない

本当にできる

不安になるけど

嗚呼 何枚でも ほら何枚でも

自信がないから描いてきたんだよ

嗚呼 何回でも ほら何回でも

積み上げてきたことが武器になる

周りを見たって 誰と比べたって

僕にしかできないことはなんだ

今でも自信なんかない それでも

感じたことない気持ち

知らずにいた想い

あの日踏み出して

初めて感じたこの痛みも全部

好きなものと向き合うことで

触れたまだ小さな光

大丈夫 行こう あとは楽しむだけだ

嗚呼 全てを賭けて描く

自分にしか出せない色で

朝も夜も走り続け

見つけ出した青い光

好きなものと向き合うこと

今だって怖いことだけど

もう今はあの日の透明な僕じゃない

嗚呼 ありのままの

かけがえの無い僕だ

知らず知らず隠してた

本当の声を響かせてよほら

見ないフリしていても

確かにそこに今もそこにあるよ

知らず知らず隠してた

本当の声を響かせてよさあ

見ないフリしていても

確かにそこに君の中に
