Lyrics
Rōmaji
Aimaina hyōden koshiraete hitatteru no
Seze saisai nani o mada motteru no
Itsunomanika hitori ni natta
Tameiki hitotsu haite nageite
Jōnetsu ya shita anogoro o
Shinketsu sosoide torimodosu nda
En de tsunagareba kono hibi mo
Suteru hodo koware tenaidarou
Ayumi o tomenaide
Kibō o sutenaide
Dōka furimuite
Dō ka kimiyo
Jin Jin kokorogaitamunara
Kan'nen no ori o uchiyaburu nda
En'en tsukihi wa megurukedo
Suteru ni wa yami ga asaidarou
Jōnetsu moyashita anogoro o
Shinketsu sosoide torimodosu nda
Ai o wakeaeba kono hibi mo
Mōichido kimi o terasudarou
Kanji
曖昧な評伝 拵え て浸ってるの
世世 歳歳 何をまだ持ってるの
いつのまにか独りになった
ため息ひとつ吐いて 嘆いて
情熱 やしたあの頃を
心血注いで取り戻すんだ
縁で繋がれば この日々も
捨てるほど壊れてないだろう
歩みを止めないで
希望を捨てないで
どうか振り向いて
どうか 君よ
ジンジン 心が傷むなら
観念の檻を打ち破るんだ
延々 月日は巡るけど
捨てるには闇が浅いだろう
情熱 燃やしたあの頃を
心血注いで取り戻すんだ
愛を分け合えば この日々も
もう一度 君を照らすだろう
English
You allowed yourself to be consumed
After all these years what have you gained?
Before you knew it you were all alone
You let out a painful sigh
You were once burning with passion
You must pour your heart into your soul
Compared to the challenges of today
It's not worth throwing it all away
Do not stop to walk
Do not give up hope
Please turn back
Please hear me!
If your heart is tingling with pain
Break free your idea from it's cage
The endless waiting is over at last
Only shallow darkness is left behind
You allowed yourself to be consumed
After all these years what have you gained?
The days that you used to love
Will once again shine on you
