Lyrics & Translation
Deep in the forest of my heart
A spring clearer than a mirror
Reflecting a distorted smile
The tears that spilled (don't cry)
Not gold or silver
Ordinary tears (fall from my eyes)
Even the goddess doesn't notice
Masayume chasing, chasing, go beyond more
The best of myself ever
Now I'm chasing, chasing, that's how I envisioned it
Become myself and ignite the fire in my heart
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na (oh!)
Na-na-na-na-na (hey, hey!)
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na (oh!)
Run through, hero
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na (oh!)
Na-na-na-na-na (hey, hey!)
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na (oh!)
Ignite the fire in your heart
My life, yeah
If I close my eyes and listen closely
A faint calling voice
In a forest where no one should be
The blue of the sky I looked up at
I won't return here (goodbye)
The deadly poison called loneliness
A flower that sweetly scents
(Fell from the sky)
In a world that blooms proudly
Goodbye, changing, changing, go beyond more
The best of myself ever
Changing the painting, changing, I wish
It will surely come true, illuminate the fire in my heart
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na (oh!)
Na-na-na-na-na (hey, hey!)
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na (oh!)
Run through, hero
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na (oh!)
Na-na-na-na-na (hey, hey!)
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na (oh!)
Illuminate the fire in your heart
Hey, already
It's incredibly hard
Who the real me is
Wake up and make up
Repeating eternity every day, fade out
From this delusion
No way, baby (no way, baby)
To escape (go, gotta go now) I have to wake up
Basking in the dazzling morning sun, I squint ahead
The future I saw that day is spreading its arms, oh
Masayume chasing, chasing, go beyond more
The best of myself ever
Chasing time, chasing, that's how I envisioned it
Become myself and ignite the fire in my heart
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na (oh!)
Na-na-na-na-na (hey, hey!)
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na (oh!)
Run through, hero
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na (oh!)
Na-na-na-na-na (hey, hey!)
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na (oh!)
Ignite the fire in your heart
