Lyrics & Translation

[English] If tears flow, a rainbow will appear, that's the rule
I'm already tired of it
If my dreams don't come true soon, I can't take it anymore
I just can't keep going
Every time I bury worries in my chest
A sigh escapes me
Looking ahead into darkness—that's just covering my eyes
Today as well, I feel inferior and say hello
Even complaints are welcome here
Is this what struggles are really about?
Come on, bring it on, future
If a flower blooms beautifully, break apart beautifully
Even mistakes I can't redo
If I can laugh them off, they become spice
Taking detours isn't a loss
What is this thing called ideals?
It's now or never, so make it count
Don't let go of this chance until your life runs out


My natural kindness backfires sometimes
And I dive into another mess
Holding my messy pride
Shedding tears in the shower alone
No, that's not struggling—it's just dancing to the beat of being alive
Joy, anger, sadness, and happiness—let's go through it all again and again
A, B, C—which path will I choose?
How many years have I been wandering?
Lost in the fog, in a frenzy
Just trust your instincts
Even if the wind blows against you, charge recklessly
Dodging left and right
If I can enjoy it with a smile
It's okay if worries don't go away
Send that pain flying away
Because this moment won't come again
Let's face both the bitterness and the sweetness


If a flower blooms beautifully, break apart beautifully
Even mistakes I can't redo
Laugh them off; they add spice
Detours aren't a loss
What exactly are ideals?
It's now or never, so seize the moment
Don't let go of this chance until your life runs out
