Lyrics

kasuka ni tadayou
awai kemuri no naka wo samayotteru no
ranhansha shiteru
shiroi hikari ga ima wo utsushidashiteru

me to me wo sotto awasete
ukeirete wa kobanda
chiguhagu na kokoro to koe
doushiyou mo nai kurai

hakanai kodou nariyamanai you
ari no mama itai no
shizuka ni te wo nobashita

kitto kurikaeshite yuku
kurayami to hikari wo nukedashitara
dokoka de kousa shiteru
kyoukaisen no ue sou shinji sasete
kagami ni utsutta
kagami ni utsutta sugata de

chirabatteru
amai inori wa tsumetai ame ni utare
kawaru sekai wo hanekaeshiteku

mune no oku ni kakaeteru
utsukushiku minikui mono
chirachira to mau hanabira
mou afuresou na kurai

kienai zanzou wasuretakunai no
madakou shiteiyou
yawarakai kaze wo mate
mukaiaou yo, ima

kitto kurikaeshite yuku
kurayami to hikari wo nukedashitara
dokoka de kousa shiteru
kyoukai senno ue sou shinji sasete
kagami ni utsutta
kagami ni utsutta sugata de

English Translation

I wander lost
in the dim lightly floating smoke
Refracting randomly
the white light mirrors the present

As we gently looked into each other’s eyes
I accepted and rejected
That my heart and my voice are hopelessly
mismatched

To keep my fleeting heart beating
I want to stay the way we are
and gently reached out my hand

It’s a never-ending cycle
As soon as we break free of the dark and the light
On that border somewhere
where our paths cross… just let me believe
Reflected in the mirror
In the form reflected in the mirror

Scattering around,
my naive prayers are struck by the cold rain
and repel this changing world

All the ugliness and beauty
I hold deep within my heart
Fluttering dancing petals
I feel like they’re about to spill out of me

I never want to forget this perpetual afterimage
I want to stay like this forever
Waiting for the soft breeze
Let’s face each other, right now

It’s a never-ending cycle
As soon as we break free of the dark and the light
On that border somewhere
where our paths cross… just let me believe
Reflected in the mirror
In the form reflected in the mirror
