Lyrics

いつの間にか思い出は色褪せて掠れる
– itsunomanika omoide wa iroasete kasureru
命の火に焚べた夢は今もまだ光を放つ
– inochi no hi ni kubeta yume wa ima mo mada hikari wo hanatsu
いつか立てた誓いも自然と時効になるかな
– itsuka tateta chikai mo shizen to jikou ni naru ka na
あの頃は水面の月へ闇雲に手を伸ばしていた
– ano koro wa minamo no tsuki e yamikumo ni te wo nobashite ita

正しさの全部が正しいわけじゃない
– tadashisa no zenbu ga tadashii wake janai
本当に願うものを失くさないように
– hontou ni negau mono wo nakusanai you ni
打ち壊してよ 憂いも暗い夜も
– buchikowashite yo urei mo kurai yoru mo
迷いないその意志で
– mayoi nai sono ishi de
届かない、足りないからこそ
– todokanai, tarinai kara koso
望んで求めて征くんだ
– nozonde motomete yukun da

吹き飛ばしていこう
– fukitobashite ikou
不安も苦難もほら 全てを爆破して
– fuan mo kunan mo hora subete wo bakuha shite
痛みも悔いも導火になれ
– itami mo kui mo douka ni nare
風を待ってなんていられない
– kaze wo matte nante irarenai

拙い軌跡も どんな不格好な過去も
– tsutanai kiseki mo donna bukakkou na kako mo
いつか笑い飛ばせる時が来るだろう
– itsuka waraitobaseru toki ga kuru darou

いつの間にか視界は移ろいで霞んでいく
– itsunomanika shikai wa utsuroi de kasunde iku
自分には無いんだ、と棄てて来た
– jibun ni wa nain da, to sutete kita
拾うことだって出来たはずだ
– hirou koto datte dekita hazu da

今日がまだ遠かった日、どんな自分を描いたろう
– kyou ga mada tookatta hi, donna jibun wo egaitarou
忘れてなんていないけれど
– wasurete nante inai keredo
どこかで隠してしまった
– dokoka de kakushite shimatta
でもほら聴こえる あの日の声
– demo hora kikoeru ano hi no koe
心の奥底 まだ生きているなら
– kokoro no okusoko mada ikite iru nara
応えてくれよ
– kotaete kure yo
胸を焦がす音も秘めたままじゃ消える
– mune wo kogasu oto mo himeta mama ja kieru

何もない 空いたその手じゃなきゃ
– nanimonai aita sono te janakya
掴めないものもあるだろう
– tsukamenai mono mo aru darou

意味が無いんだと誰かが棄てた夢の先で笑おう
– imi ga nain da to dareka ga suteta yume no saki de waraou
馬鹿げた理想で構わない
– bakageta risou de kamawanai
願いは願う者だけ叶う
– negai wa negau mono dake kanau

嗚呼 一生は案外長い
– aa isshou wa angai nagai
啻に生きるには退屈だしどこかへ行こう
– tada ni ikiru ni wa taikutsu da shi dokoka e ikou

打ち壊してよ 憂いも暗い夜も
– buchikowashite yo urei mo kurai yoru mo
迷いないその意志で
– mayoi nai sono ishi de
届かない、足りないからこそ
– todokanai, tarinai kara koso
望んで求めて征くんだ
– nozonde motomete yukun da

吹き飛ばしていこう
– fukitobashite ikou
不安も苦難もほら 全てを爆破して
– fuan mo kunan mo hora subete wo bakuha shite
痛みも悔いも導火になれ
– itami mo kui mo douka ni nare
その切り札に繋いで
– sono kirifuda ni tsunaide

願う奇蹟も どんな向こう見ずな夢も
– negau kiseki mo donna mukou mizuna yume mo
どれもこの手で運命に変えていこう
– doremo kono te de unmei ni kaete yukou

English Translation

Eventually memories fade and blur
Dreams imbued with the fire of life still glow
Do vows made long ago stay true still?
That time you chanced your hands toward the moon’s reflection on the water

Not everything about correctness is correct
Don’t let what you truly want disappear
Destroy it all, bleak and dark nights
With determination unwavering
Exactly because it is lacking
Go willingly and wantingly

Blow it all into smithereens
Anxiety and hardship, look now, all blasted away
Pain and regret like a ignition
Simply cannot wait for the wind to come

However clumsy and awkward the past was
A day will come when you’ll laugh it all away

Sooner or later your vision will turn misty
Those things you turned aside from as nothing to do with you
You could have chosen to take them up

What picture did you paint of yourself when this day was far away?
Surely you haven’t forgotten
Hidden away somewhere
But listen, you can hear, a voice from that day
If it still lives in the recesses of your heart
Answer me now
A sound consumed in the breast will disappear

Sometimes without an open and empty hand
There are things that cannot be grasped

Let’s laugh at the tip of a dream thrown away by someone as worthless
A ridiculous ideal is fine
Wishes only come true for those who wish

Oh, life is longer than it seems
Simply to live is so tedious; let’s go away

Destroy it all, bleak and dark nights
With determination unwavering
Exactly because it is lacking
Go willingly and wantingly

Blow it all into smithereens
Anxiety and hardship, look now, all blasted away
Pain and regret like a ignition
Connect it up to that trump card

Whatever miracles you hope for, your boldest dreams,
Come turn them to destiny with this hand
