[English]

What lights the way is darkness

We're weeding out the days we've grown accustomed to

My dream is a peaceful life

But it's so boring, I'm just lazing around

What lights the way is fading

Where is the road we were used to walking?

Time can be annoying sometimes

But embraced by warmth, I simply

The flames rise

Towards the guidance

I remember a gentle melody

Eternity doesn't exist, it doesn't exist

I laugh and say, "That's fine too"

If it shines, the light will eventually fade

We'll keep walking until the fire of our lives goes out

By the way, why

Have we suddenly stopped thinking?

My dream is a peaceful life

But I'm so lacking in knowledge, I'm nervous

If I eat it, it's yummy

Clinging to fate, we rot away

This is the middle of a blazing inferno

But the scars are throbbing, I simply

The surface of the water rises

Towards the light

What I take is a new memory

The night sky divides

Towards the guidance

What blocks the way are rigid theories

Eternity doesn't exist, it doesn't exist

I cry and say, "It's still painful"

Balloons will eventually shrink or burst

We will keep protecting the spring of life and keep connecting it

Graduating without learning enough

Losing love without conveying enough

Saying goodbye without playing enough

It's a pain, but

It's not hell

Toys that make sounds

Magic that blows away the pain

Are all treasures to me

Eternity doesn't exist, it doesn't exist

We'll keep walking until the fire of our lives goes out

[Japanese]

照らすは闇

僕らは歩き慣れてきた日々も淘汰

夢は安泰な暮らしだが

刺激不足故にタラタラ

照らすは熄み

僕らの歩き慣れていた道はどこだ　

時はたまに癪だが　

温もりに包まれ只

炎が立つ

導の方へ

思い出すは優しいメロディー

永遠は無いんだと 無いんだと云フ

それもまたイイねと笑ってみる

輝けばいつかは光も絶える　

僕らは命の火が消えるその日まで歩いてゆく

ところで何故

僕らは思考を急に辞めているんだ　　

夢は安泰な暮らしだが

知識不足故にハラハラ

食せばYummy

ヨスガに縋り付いたまま朽ちて行くんだ

ここは業火の中だが

傷跡がヒリつき只

水面が立つ

光の方へ　

手を取るは新しいメモリー　

夜空が分かつ

導の方へ

遮るは堅苦しいセオリー

永遠は無いんだと 無いんだと云フ

やっぱ苦しいねと泣いてみる

風船もいつかは萎むか割れる

僕らは命の泉を護り続けて繋いでゆく

学びきれずに卒業

伝えきれずに失恋

遊びきれずに決別

面倒臭いが

地獄じゃあるまいし

音が出る玩具も

痛みを飛ばす魔法も

全部僕にとっての宝物

永遠は無いんだと 無いんだと云フ

僕らは命の火が消えるその日まで歩いてゆく
