歌詞:

[日本語]

[English]

外から窓をくぐった光が　床に作った最初の友達

Light that slips through the window from outside creates the very first friend on the floor

空っぽの手を容易く取られて　連れ出されてから夢の中

Easily taken by empty hands, led away into a dream

幾つかの普通が重なり合うと　時々そこには魔法が宿る

When several routines overlap, sometimes magic awakens there

あれは恐らく悪魔だった　あれから醒めない夢の中

That was probably a demon, trapped in this unending dream since then

籠の中　鳥が鳴いて気付いた

In a cage, I noticed a bird singing

失くしていた事　もう引き返せない事

The things I lost, things I can never turn back to

どうして体は生きたがるの　心に何を求めているの

Why does my body want to live? What is it seeking from my heart?

肺が吸い込んだ　続きの世界　何度でも吐いた　命の証

My lungs draw in the next world, I’ve exhaled it countless times, proof of life

さあ今　鍵が廻る音　探し物が囁くよ

Now, the sound of the key turning, whispering mysteries, search your heart

赤い血が巡る　その全てで　見えない糸を手繰り寄せて

Red blood flows through everything, pulling the invisible threads closer

...

...

夜と朝から外れたままで　迫られ続ける取捨選択

Remaining outside of night and morning, constantly faced with choices

何をどれだけ差し出したとしても　届かないほどの宝物

No matter how much I give or how many I offer, the treasure remains out of reach

取り戻したいのか　憧れたのか　篝火の向こう揺れて消える

Do I want to regain it? Or am I longing for it? Swaying and fading beyond the bonfire

そろそろ往こうか　まだここじゃない　どこまで醒めない夢の中

Maybe it’s time to go—I’m not there yet, still in this infinite dream

まだ先へ進むというのならば

If you’re determined to move forward

夜明けまで吹き抜けていく風の唄を

Sing the song of the wind blowing until dawn

誰が消えても星は廻る　明日が今を過去にしていく

Even if everyone disappears, the stars will keep turning. Tomorrow turns today into the past

残酷なまでに完璧な世界　どこかでまた躓いた蟻

A cruelly perfect world, where somewhere an ant stumbles again

未だ響く心臓のドラム　それしかないと導くよ

The beating drum of my heart still echoes, guiding me that there’s nothing else

疑いながら　その全てで　信じた足が運んでくれる

Doubting everything, yet believe with all your feet that take you forward

どうして体は生きたがるの　心に何を求めているの

Why does my body want to live? What is it seeking from my heart?

性懲りも無く繋いだ世界　何度でも吐いた　命の証

Endlessly reconnecting this world, I’ve exhaled it again and again, proof of life

さあ今　鍵が廻る音　探し物が囁くよ

Now, the sound of the key turning, whispering mysteries, search your heart

赤い血が巡る　その全てで　見えない糸が解ける場所へ

Red blood flows through everything. The place where the invisible threads are untied
