味がしなくなるな

The taste is fading away

噛み続け疲れた

I'm tired of chewing

味なんてないのかな？

Is there no flavor at all?

役を演じ続けて

Continuing to play a role

そして胸をならそう

And let's calm our hearts

永遠はないよ

There is no eternity

夢の続きが伸び伸びで

The continuation of dreams is stretching out

夢の言葉が虚を突く

The words of dreams strike emptiness

追わないと見えなくなるので

If I don't chase, I won't see

追わないで後悔しちゃうよ

If I don't chase, I'll regret it

全身にワッペンをつけて

With patches all over my body

Woah-oh-oh

Woah-oh-oh

何回かやり直して

After a few retries

What am I even doing...?

誘惑に誘われて

Lured by temptation

目指すはあのダンジョン every day

Every day aiming for that dungeon

But I can't hear "but" or "because"

本当何してんのかな...

What am I really doing...?

SOS 止まらない どうしようもない

語る言葉儚げ

Words that are fleeting

My breath is a little unsteady

意味なんてないのかな？

Is there no meaning at all?
