Lyrics & Translation
Running through this nameless now
Reaching out to that crescent moon
La la lai, la la lai, I want to know you
Even if countless mornings turn into silent fears
The moment the umbilical cord snaps
Feels like I’ve lost myself in the world
If the scene reflected in your eyes smiles sadly
Close your eyes without fear and try
Hey everyone, come here, head toward the beating drums
Tap your heels and dance with your heart
Jump aboard the mirage, embrace this twisted world
La la lai, la la lai, it won't stop
Wishing to know love, a cursed prayer
Surpassing time, from morning till night
La la lai, la la lai, I want to know you
Don’t miss a single thing, time won’t wait for anyone
Cruel fate, inescapable destiny
Coming too fast, swept away by a sandstorm
Even if I can't see ahead, I want to believe in you
Take a brave step forward without fear
Hey everyone, come here, head toward the beating drums
Tap your heels and dance with your heart
Hey everyone, come here, toward the pounding rhythms
Tap your heels and dance with your heart
Hop on a flying whale and dance through this twisted world
La la lai, la la lai, nobody knows
Running through this nameless now
Reaching out to that crescent moon
La la lai, la la lai, I want to know you
Even if mornings turn to silent fears
No matter how many times I face them
If it's a dream, don’t wake up, because reality’s so blunt
No one will wait for time
