「SPARK-AGAIN」

SPARK-AGAIN

...

...

失くしたものばかり

All I've lost

残したこの火種は

Is this spark I've left behind

離さない 離さないから ずっと

I won't let go, I won't let go, forever

曖昧 物語 正解なんてなくたって

Ambiguous stories, even without a right answer

踏み出すようになれたら

If I can learn to take a step forward

「どうかしてる」って言うけど どうにかしてあげるよ

They say I'm going crazy, but I'll find a way

どうなったらいいかさえ わからなくなるけど

Even if I don't know what would be good

夢がその隣で覚悟を決めたなら

If my dream has made up its mind beside me

疑うものなんて何もなくなるから

There will be nothing left to doubt

火花散って 火蓋切って 白か黒も灰にかえるまで

Sparks fly, the fuse is lit, until white and black turn to ash

とびきりの王冠なら手に入れたい

If it's an extraordinary crown, I want to have it

風を切って 君のほうへ1か8か0に変えるまで

Cutting through the wind, until I change to 1 or 8 or 0 towards you

ふさぎ込んだ道化師なら 森羅万象 はじまんないよ

If I'm a gloomy clown, the universe won't begin

灰も焦がすよな愛をみせるから I just spark again

Because I'll show you a love that even burns ash, I just spark again

暗闇 やみくもに

In the darkness, blindly

探したその背中は

I searched for that back

届かない 届かないけど きっと

It's unreachable, it's unreachable, but surely

何にもないくせに 戸惑う前に飛び出した

Even though there's nothing, I jumped out before I hesitated

あの日のようになれたら

If I could be like that day

導火線がなくても 心に火 灯すよ

Even without a fuse, I'll light a fire in my heart

どこに行くのかさえ わからなくなっても

Even if I don't know where I'm going

君のその隣で強く手を繋げば

If I hold your hand tightly beside me

恐れるものなんて何もなくなるから

There will be nothing left to fear

光さして 照らす方へ いつか夜も声も果てるまで

Shining light, towards the illuminated path, until one day the night and voice end

ありふれたdawnなら もういらない 目もくれない

If it's an ordinary dawn, I don't need it anymore, I won't even glance

声を聞いて 前を向いて 白か黒で語るだけの未来

Hearing your voice, facing forward, just a future that speaks in black and white

怖気づいてしまう前に そんな幻想 消し去りたいよ

Before I get scared, I want to erase that illusion

太陽みたいな愛をみせるから I just spark again

Because I'll show you a love like the sun, I just spark again

失くしてきたものなら数知れず

The things I've lost are countless

捨ててしまったものなど 何もない

There's nothing I've thrown away

火花散って 火蓋切って 白か黒も灰にかえるまで

Sparks fly, the fuse is lit, until white and black turn to ash

とびきりの王冠なら手に入れたい

If it's an extraordinary crown, I want to have it

風を切って 君のほうへ1か8か0に変えるまで

Cutting through the wind, until I change to 1 or 8 or 0 towards you

ふさぎ込んだ道化師なら 森羅万象 はじまんないよ

If I'm a gloomy clown, the universe won't begin

灰も焦がすよな愛をみせるから I just spark again

Because I'll show you a love that even burns ash, I just spark again

太陽みたいな愛で照らすから I just spark again

Because I'll illuminate with a love like the sun, I just spark again
