Lyrics

mou saitei datta ano keshiki to
asu ni mukatte mata aruite yukeba

bokura atarashii basho ni tatte
sorezore no katachi wo sagashite
miushinau koto no nai you ni
sou shinjite itakatta

tagai no kokoro wa surechigatte
mata toozakaru
sayonara ga boku wo nuritsubu shiteiku

tadashisa dake ga seikai darou ka
sorezore no seigi wa onaji darou ka
kotae wo sagasu tabi wa tsuzuku
owari sae wakaranu mama

mou saitei datta ano keshiki wo
nando mo nagamete wa kara ni natte shimatta no
tada koukai shitatte kawaranai kara
asu ni mukatte mata aruite yukeba

tada koukai shitatte kawaranai kara
mune ni egaita jibun dake no kyou wo
mitsuke ni yukou

English Translation

That ghastly scene
If we renew our journey towards a better tomorrow,
Will we find it?

We stand at the dawn of the new
Figuring out the shape of our own futures
So we don't lose sight of it
That's what I held on to

We disagree on our heart's desires
And move apart again
Goodbyes fill me with grief

Is justice the only truth?
Do we all share the same justice?
The journey in search of truth continues
Even though there's no end in sight

That ghastly scene
I have seen it so many times that it now feels empty
But regret won't change anything
If we renew our journey towards a better tomorrow,
Will we find it?

Sitting in a dark room
Just counting our misfortunes,
And stretching out towards the darkness
Won't get us anywhere

Did we choose the right path?
We are terrified by nonexistent futures
Which isolates and suffocates us
As we lose our way,

That ghastly scene
I have seen it so many times that it now feels empty
Regret won't change anything
Yet I'm unable to change my ways

Yes, because we are alive
We can cry, laugh, grieve, and rejoice
The truth we yearned was hiding in ourselves all this while
Yes, because we are alive
We can overcome the night, and advance toward the sunrise
Isn't that right?

That ghastly scene
I have seen it so many times that it now feels empty
But regret won't change anything
Let's head out and find
Our ideal selves at this moment
