Lyrics & Translation
The one I loved was a corpse
The train's bell woke me up
I spread my wings in the indigo night
Not "goodbye," but
I said "see you later"
I didn't cry, but
You smiled
The fate I held in my hands
No matter how it was filled
It was made to lose you
Changing, joyful and sad
This is UNDER and OVER
I showed you, reborn
But
I corrected my worries, and listened carefully
Alone, UNDER and OVER
I wanted a future that would throb like a pulse
The brake lights shine
The detours of everyday life
"Which fate is right for me?"
If nothing goes well, why choose this life?
Even the Goddess of Mercy
観音さんだって
Doesn't know the correct answer
The boy snapped his fingers softly
The price of happiness for someone
誰かにとっての幸せの代償が
Was the despair of another
The taste of a fruit that only ripens once
Stop, UNDER and OVER
Even if it seemed like I had grasped it
I saw it, but
Don't look back, just move forward
The next UNDER and OVER
I thought this was life
Da-da-da-dum, da-da-da-dum
Da-da-da-dum, da-da-da-dum
Da-da-da-dum, da-da-da-dum
Da-da-da-dum
Hurry back to the dreamy shore
I left you behind, for sure
The boy who marked time back then
Laughed beside my confusion
Changing, joyful and sad
This is UNDER and OVER
I showed you, reborn
But
I corrected my worries, and listened carefully
Alone, UNDER and OVER
I wanted a future that would throb like a pulse
Dancing soul, wrapped in night
Turning, UNDER and OVER
The long journey, the voice of my heart
Decide, UNDER and OVER
I wanted more of the future, just like this
