Kono sabishisa mo firumu ni tojikometeI’ll capture this loneliness on film,

Suki na keshiki wo kokoro no katachi wo narubekuI want to keep the scenery I love and the shape of my heart,
Firumu no naka ni nokoshite okitairecorded on film as much as I possibly can,
Itsuka furikaeru madeuntil the day I look back on it all.
Ashita ga moshi boku wo kaeteIf tomorrow changes who I am,
Mieru omou subeteand everything I see and think
Kyou to betsumono demois different from today,
Sore ga hontou no sugata dakarathat’s just my true self emerging.
Mada katachi no nai jibun dakaraSince I haven’t taken a final shape yet,
Mabushisugite shirotobi shitait’s so bright that it’s overexposed and washed out,
Mirai fuan kitaithe future, my fears, and my hopes.

Tomadoi nagaraEven while I’m feeling lost,
Now I step into white lightNow I step into white light.
