Lyrics & Translation

[English]

It’s time

Don’t you know that’s fact fact fact

Turn back time

We’re turning back back we back

I assemble the world as much as I want More more more

I throw myself beyond different time and space

Now I know what went wrong Real

a dead end in the maze I was wandering around for quite a while

For regrets of the past and anxiety about the future I don’t want to settle Live it live it

The gravity of time I fly beyond it A bigger world Get it get it uh

I want more and more

If we could turn back time

Open up the closed eyes

Now wake me up from sleep

Oh are you going minute by minute

Go beyond the limit

Oh the moment of waking up turning back time 5432

Stop rewind turn back time

Stop rewind turn back time 5432

Stop rewind turn back time Stop yea got that stop

Stop rewind turn back time

Standing on my past

On the past

Time and space expand beyond the limit

Entangled threads

Tangled threads

Cut off the beginning of the beginning

Yeah I’m a beast

Don’t sweat it

Challenge the time Go get it

How many really like me Not too many

Taking the first step I’m a Stranger

I know sometimes danger

Rather than looking back and regretting

I turn back time Rewind

Live it up double dose

To a higher world over there

Gotta wake up to the world

Oh one more time Fly over and over Fly

I can touch with my hand Then we go

Close the eyes

If we could turn back time

Yesterday and today

Become one and wake me up

Oh are you going minute by minute

Go beyond the limit

Oh the moment of waking up turning back time

The ticking becomes a melody

See the same dream calling me

With the lasting sense, open up the eyes now

The time is ticking away

Oh are you going minute by minute

Go beyond the limit

Oh the moment of waking up

ticking away

Oh are you going minute by minute

Go beyond the limit in me

Oh it’s already started turning back time 5432

5432 Stop rewind turn back time

Stop rewind
