100 oku no ningen ga10 billion human beings,
100 oku no genjitsu no nakaliving inside 10 billion realities,
100 oku no mousou idaiteholding onto 10 billion delusions,
100 oku no yume o miruare dreaming 10 billion dreams.
Boku no koto o shitte kudasaiPlease get to know me,
Boku o motto wakatte kudasaiplease understand me more,
Motomete bakari no jinsei niin this life of constantly wanting,
Tsukarehateru sono hi madeuntil the day I’m completely exhausted.
Kokoro ni sasatta toge o nuiteWe should pull out the thorns stuck in our hearts,
Bokura wa motto jiyuu ni ikiru beki na no saand we should live much more freely.
Mitasarenu shouninyokkyuuThis unfulfilled desire for approval,
Boku no mune ni aita anaboko niis like a gaping hole opened in my chest.
Suuji ya katachi o hourikonde moEven if I throw in numbers and shapes,
Nukumori dake ga toozakattekuthe warmth just keeps fading further away.
100 oku no shouninyokkyuu10 billion desires for approval,
Barabara na kashi to senritsu dewith fragmented lyrics and melodies.
Ibitsu na kotoba midareta waon noOf distorted words and chaotic chords,
Noizu no yama ni sanchou wa nakuthere’s no peak to this mountain of noise.
Kimi no koto o motto shiritaiI want to know more about you,
Kimi o motto motto kanjitaiand I want to feel you more and more.
Datte onaji ningen ja nai kaBecause we’re the same human beings, aren’t we?
Muzukashiku kangaeru mae niBefore we think about it too deeply,
Ohanabatake atama no nakawith a head full of flowers,
Juudai na genjitsu no nakainside this crucial reality.
Bonyou na nichijou kageki na shisouMediocre daily life and extreme ideologies,
Chuuyou de yuku michi wa aru kais there a middle path we can take?
Kowareta tokei no neji o maiteBy winding the spring of a broken clock,
Bokura wa tomatta jikan o mae ni susumeru beki sawe should move our stopped time forward.
Hateshinai shouninyokkyuuAn endless desire for approval,
Kokoro ga unda sabishisa no tane gathe seeds of loneliness born from the heart,
Iro no nai hana o sakasete shimaiend up blooming into colorless flowers,
Mitsubachi no mure o machitsuzukeruthat keep waiting for a swarm of bees.
100 oku no shouninyokkyuu10 billion desires for approval,
Barabara na enogu to fudesabaki dewith scattered paints and brushstrokes,
Nurie no waku o hamidashita yatsu moeven the ones who color outside the lines,
Irotoridori no e o kaiteruare painting a colorful picture.
