Lyrics

hizunda urei ga tobikau naka de
ushinai ushinai hiza wo tsuku douke
ano chou wa jiyuu ni nareta ka na
jounetsu wa kodoku to moeru

kinou no jibun ni kyoumi nanka nai
shiro kuro kaesu kotoba uraomote
joushiki to ka iu henken wo amikomi
meian wo wakatsu majoriti

tensai wo enjiteru baka wa omae ka
naishi baka wo yari tsuzuketeru tensai kai?
saigo ni warau no wa dochira no megami darou

aimai na kyouki ga boku no nodo wo kawakasu
rinkaku ga teigi sareru mae ni rojikku wo kutsugaese

aa kijou no kuuron wo yume to yobu
mubou no naka ni hikari wa yadotta
uttoushii kaze furiharatte
chikara wo ima shimesou
uso mo shinjitsu mo akase

nandomo kizutsuite togisumasareta
binkan na tsume no saki de yuragu tougenkyou
erabitori tsumugu kotoba
hitotsu hitotsu daitan to sensai de katadotta

shigunaru wo yomikire
honne ka? tatemae ka?

ikinokore to sakenderu
mirai wo ryouga suru kiseki wo matte
yuukan de okubyou na bokura
mayoikonda sekai de
mou noru ka soru ka de odore

tada no suuji wo karei ni norikonasu
te ni suru mono wa eikou ka kyoei ka
hitori de wa tatakaenai to shiru
kono geemu de wa

aa kijou no kuuron wo yume to yobu
mubou no naka ni hikari wa yadotta
uttoushii kaze furiharatte
chikara wo ima shimesou
asobi wa owari da nanimokamo sutete hikari wo tsukame

English Translation

While distorted gloom grows rampantly
A losing, losing clown is on his knees
I wonder if that butterfly found freedom
Passion burns with loneliness

I've no interest in what I was yesterday
Black and white 
Speaking with a forked tongue
Interweaving a prejudice 
Called common sense
The majority decides the outcome

Are you the fool acting like a genius?
Or a genius continuing to play the fool?
Which goddess do you think 
Gets the last laugh?

An ambiguous madness makes me thirsty
Reverse the logic 
Before the outline is defined

Ah, armchair theories are called dreams
Among the recklessness 
A light has started to shine
Cast aside the clinging wind
And show your power now
Unveil the lies and reveal the truth

I've been hurt many times 
My senses have been sharpened
Utopia starts to fade 
On my sensitive fingertip
Looking at the carefully chosen words
One by one, 
Written both boldly and subtly

Read the signals completely
Real intention or stated reason?

It's shouting for you to survive
Waiting for a miracle 
That's superior to the future
We are courageous and cowardly
In this world we've strayed into
Just take your chance and dance

Gracefully ride the numbers 
That's all they are
Glory or vanity, which would you achieve?
You realize you can't battle alone
In this game

Ah, armchair theories are called dreams
Among the recklessness 
A light has started to shine
Cast aside the clinging wind
And show your power now
The play is over, abandon everything 
And take hold of the light
