[English]

Something sweet, like a blueberry

Even in dreams, there are flavors

Memories are hit by the waves

And they're supposed to fade away

The faint sounds after the festival

Before I knew it, I had wandered in

Haven't you noticed yet?

Even if it feels out of place, fate

Has already begun

Unknown threads intertwine

Turning into a new color

More than ever before

Woven with such tenderness

Becoming a thin veil

Enveloping us both

Hiding tears stained with mud

I drowned in a fleeting emotion

I believed that only pure,

Cloudless desires were beautiful

Like a captive fish

From a peaceful routine of waiting for food

I leaped up and broke free

I crossed the vast ocean alone, believing we'd meet again

Wrong threads unravel, and I long for you once more

If the truth is never revealed

I don't mind if it's all a trick

I can be my true self

And I can become a little stronger

...

Unknown threads intertwine

Turning into a new color

More than ever before

Woven with such tenderness

Even the light

Reflecting on the water is on our side

Becoming a thin veil

Enveloping us both

Enveloping us both

...

[Japanese]

ブルーベリーみたいに甘いやつ

夢でも味があるんだよ

思い出は 波を受け

消えてくはずなのに

祭りのあとの淡い音

迷い込んだんだ いつの間にか

君はまだ 気づかない？

場違いでも運命は

既に始まってるんだって

見知らぬ糸が絡まり

新しい色に

今までないほど

愛おしくて 編まれて

薄い衣になる

包み込まれていく

泥の涙は隠して

気軽な感動に溺れた

濁りなき 望みだけ

美しいと信じたけど

飼われた魚のように

餌を待つ平穏なルーティンから

跳ね上がり 抜け出して

海原をひとり来たのさ 再び巡り会えるって

間違う糸はほどけて また焦がれて

明かされないなら

ペテンでも 構わない

ありのままになる

少し強くなれる

見知らぬ糸が絡まり

新しい色に

今までないほど

愛おしくて 編まれて

水面に映る

光も 味方に

薄い衣になる

包み込まれていく

包み込まれていく
