[English]
Today will pass, just like yesterday
Following the path of my lifespan
The limited numbers decrease
And the beautiful numbers increase
In the treasure trove of memories
Old things are pushed to the back of the shelf
Covered in dust, yet
Pride shines through
But
By my side
Anxiety, applause, solidarity
A murky safe zone
It's all just a mess
The morning's sense of lethargy
Platform three, a local train
Similar to blue
A sour spring and lilac
I'll wait for you here
Even the painful wounds of life
I want to think of them fondly
Though we have nowhere to go
We forget, and
What do we gain, what do we lose
As we grow up
I don't want to let go of a one-time chance
So I'll always be on my toes
But it's hard
I thought of myself as a candidate for the lead role
But I'm just a nameless extra
I couldn't even make a spin-off
It's just
スピンオフも作れないよな
たかが
By my side
When I sing of trivial love
I don't want to become a liar
My chest is restless
The morning's sense of discomfort
I'll take the express train, and
The shadows hurt
There's no value
I'm the only one who's alone
I hate the night
I hate you
I'm not kind
The light hurts
I hate hope
I'm the only one who's left behind
I hate the night
I'm afraid of being alone
My selfishness is a twisted virtue
Even my incomplete thoughts
I want to treasure them
Even on uncertain days
I'll try to love
I've never felt
A sense of defeat that's like trash
Everything is driving me
The pulse that shakes this earth, and a high-five
That summer, when we risked everything
The colors won't fade, it's unforgettable
For the sake of living today
Though we have nowhere to go
探す宛ても無いのに
We lose our way, and
What's the point, for whom
As we accumulate wounds
After the rain stops
Green will grow
There's no meaningless thing
Let's believe, and move forward
There are no answers
That's why I want to love
Let's remember the blue of that time
Even if the bitterness piles up
The light shines through
I'll acknowledge the flaws that don't make sense
Let's accept them
I love myself
I love myself
愛してる
I love.
