Lyrics

yoru ni tojikomerareta ko wa
muhyoujou ni iki wo tometa

“datte dou shiyou mo nai koto bakari janai
kaerarenai sekai de oborete iru

open your eyes
shizumu kage donna ima demo kore ga genjitsu

jiyuu to wa nani?
anata ga kureta itami ga
ai kamo shirenai to hitori de kitai shiteta
boku wo touta suru
shaadenfuroide wa iran
wazatorashii doramatikku ni wa akita
discord ni tanbi shite

fujouri "shikata nai" nante
itsu made ieru no ka
dore dake akiramereba ki ga sumun darou

waraeru

kowarete mo ikite kitaihazure no endroll
nando mo oreta kokoro de boku wa tsuzuku
iki wo suu goto ni sabite iku karada dakara
hagareochiru boku mo mitomete tatakau dake da”

elegy ni sukoshi mo kao wo kaezu
yoru no naka iki wo hajimeru

English Translation

A child trapped in the night
Stopped breathing without expression

"There's nothing we can do about any of this
We're drowning in a world that ultimately can not be changed

Open your eyes
Even still, I'm but a sinking shadow, this is our cruel reality

What is freedom?
I selfishly hoped that the pain,
That the pain you gave me might be love
I have no need
For this Schadenfreude that keeps me down
I've grown tired of its heavy-handed drama
Yet, in discord I'm awed

How long can you keep saying, that things are unfair or hopeless?
Until when will I keep saying that?
How much do I have to give up until you're satisfied?

It's laughable

Broken, yet still alive, a disappointing end roll
Yet no matter how many times my heart breaks, I will keep on going
Every time I breathe, I sink into a sea of loneliness
I just need to let go of parts of me, accept and keep on fighting"

In elegy, little by little his face changes
And in the midst of night, starts to breathe
