Insane Dream

• By: Aimer

Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

また記憶をつきさす 焼けた匂い

Burning smell of memories that pierce again

もう呼吸もできない

I can't breathe anymore

目眩がするような 黒い太陽

A black sun so dizzying

息継ぎの痛みを

The pain of each breath

切り刻んで around the way

Shred it around the way

記憶を消して feel my fear

Erase the memories, feel my fear

すがりついた and I'm dead

Clung to it, and I'm dead

振りほどいて insane dream

Shake it off, insane dream

Tell me what you want me to believe

Tell me what you want me to believe

I can't see you I can't feel you

I can't see you, I can't feel you

ただ赦しを求めて 流す願い

Just seeking forgiveness, pouring out my wishes

まだ鼓動は絶えない

My heartbeat still won't stop

視界を失くした 赤い瞼よ

Red eyelids that have lost all sight

三度目の祈りを

The third prayer

切り刻んで around the way

Shred it around the way

記憶を消して feel my fear

Erase the memories, feel my fear

すがりついた and I'm dead

Clung to it, and I'm dead

振りほどいて insane dream

Shake it off, insane dream

...

...

切り刻んで around the way

Shred it around the way

記憶を消して feel my fear

Erase the memories, feel my fear

すがりついた and I'm dead

Clung to it, and I'm dead

振りほどいて insane dream

Shake it off, insane dream

切り刻んで (around the way)

Shred it around the way

記憶を消して (feel my fear)

Erase the memories, feel my fear

すがりついた (and I'm dead)

Clung to it, and I'm dead

振りほどいて (insane dream)

Shake it off, insane dream

Tell me what you want me to believe

Tell me what you want me to believe

I can't see you, I can't feel you

I can't see you, I can't feel you

...
