[English]

The beautiful planet you talked about

I can really imagine it now, maybe it truly exists

Always lonely, sometimes wanting to disappear

Beyond the pleasure without scent on the other side of the screen, that justice

Let's cross over the purple night, countless particles of light

We too, one small piece at a time

Passing through the edge that crumbles with comfort

I want you to be with me, a common yet special night

Melted hopes and memories of defeat

Though the scars can't be erased, if it continues, I'll rise again

Let's cross over the purple night, they said it would be better to let go

Embracing memories tightly

If I can gain without obeying, I'll go against the wind of sand

I want to be born again, a common yet special night

Flapping my sleeves, delivering to that planet

...

Breaking through the days when I was afraid to move a little

Let's cross over the purple night, countless particles of light

We too, one small piece at a time

Passing through the edge that crumbles with comfort

I want you to be with me, opening my eyes that have begun to glisten far away

Crossing over the purple night

...

[Japanese]

君が話してた美しい惑星は

この頃僕もイメージできるのさ本当にあるのかも

いつも寂しがり時に消えたがり

画面の向こうの快楽匂いのない正義その先に

紫の夜を越えていこういくつもの光の粒

僕らも小さなひとつずつ

なぐさめで崩れるほどのギリギリをくぐり抜けて

一緒にいて欲しいありがちで特別な夜

溶けた望みとか敗けの記憶とか

傷は消せないが続いていくなら起き上がり

紫の夜を越えていこう捨てた方がいいと言われた

メモリーズ強く抱きしめて

従わず得られるならば砂の風に逆らい

再び生まれたいありがちで特別な夜

袖をはばたかせあの惑星に届け

少し動くのも恐れてた日々突き破り

紫の夜を越えていこういくつもの光の粒

僕らも小さなひとつずつ

なぐさめで崩れるほどのギリギリをくぐり抜けて

一緒にいて欲しい遠くまで潤み始めた目を開いて

紫色の夜を越えて
