[English]

Gave up my youth

For my future

I just want to

Rise up stronger

Where am I right now?

An endless night

When the sun rises, tomorrow will come

I won’t miss it

(Now or Never)

The youth everyone talks about, I had given up on

I endured many temptations

If I underestimated it

You’re wrong

Molten crystal

Metal growing stronger

Increasing in hardness, it’s solid

Heading towards a moment that won’t come again

I know it’s gonna be lonely

Cause everyone keeps turning me down

Countless new surroundings

Cold eyes keep looking me down

I’m still in the crowd, alien of the town

Yeah they want me to give up right now

They’re making me laugh it’s so loud

Waking the demon that’s hiding inside

You only get to live one life I know I’m ready

Take that chance no matter what they tell me

I can not explain this feeling

Yeah this path was meant to be my dream

Look back, the ashes prove my

Passion always burns eternally

No regrets, I love this feeling

Down on this road, call it the Social Path

I’m tossing turning in my bed

Them voices in my head again

I gotta shake em off now

(Now or Never)

Never knew

I’d see so many people come and go

I see the mirror, it’s only me

Evil thoughts taking over, I’m gonna let it go

I fight myself, it’s only me

I know it’s gon be lonely

Cause everyone keeps turning me down

Countless new surroundings

Cold eyes keep looking me down

I’m still in the crowd, alien of the town

Yeah they want me to give up right now

They’re making me laugh it’s so loud

Waking the demon that’s hiding inside

You only get to live one life I know I’m ready

Take that chance no matter what they tell me

I can not explain this feeling

Yeah this path was meant to be my dream

Look back, the ashes prove my

Passion always burns eternally

No regrets, I love this feeling

Down on this road, call it the Social Path

No way back to the past,

I’ll step ahead

Go right in front of me

Even if I’m pushed out, connecting the torn map

Running above like in the past

In a steep place, alone

Facing the night, I will rise up

Gave up my youth

For my future

I just want to

Rise up stronger

I’m gonna look back, the ashes prove my

Passion always burns eternally

No regrets, I love this feeling

Down on this road

Call it the Social Path

[Japanese]

Where am I right now?

終わらない Night

日が昇れば 明日が来るさ

I won’t miss it

(Now or Never)

諦めてた みんなが言う青春は

たくさん誘惑耐え抜いた

甘く見てたなら

You’re wrong

溶鉱炉 Crystal

強くなってく金属

固さを増し 強固だね

二度ない瞬間へ向かってんね

I know it’s gonna be lonely

Cause everyone keeps turning me down

Countless new surroundings

Cold eyes keep looking me down

I’m still in the crowd, alien of the town

破れた地図繋ぎ 押し出されても

昔みたいに 上を走る

険しい場所 一人で

夜と向き合い I will rise up

Gave up my youth

For my future

I just want to

Rise up stronger

I’m gonna look back, the ashes prove my

Passion always burns eternally

No regrets, I love this feeling

Down on this road

Call it the Social Path
