Glass Door Lyrics English Translation by Newspeak
Rei describes a world of ‘beautiful lies’ and a ‘broken paradise,’ questioning the truths we inherit. A key line, ‘Light up your heart and stand up on your feet,’ becomes a powerful call to break free from limitations. The poet uses images of fire, breeze, and glass doors to symbolize hope and resilience.
I saw the world shine beneath the seamless skyI saw the world shine beneath the seamless sky.
From a broken paradiseFrom a broken paradise.
Who built the wall of beautiful liesWho built the wall of beautiful lies?
Sekai wo shiri kasaneta fake smileKnowing how the world works, I’ve layered on a fake smile.
Shiraketa machi hitoriI’m all alone in this cold, indifferent town.
Yume wo hisomete mata jidai no seiI hide my dreams and blame the times once again.
Then i heard your heartbeatThen I heard your heartbeat.
Kensou no saki he shiboridashita koeIt’s a voice forced out from beyond the chaos.
Dareka ni ikasare shinde yuku naraIf I’m going to wither away while living for someone else,
I’m ready kono kokoro tsure dasu yoI’m ready; I’ll take this heart of mine out with me.
Light up your heart and stand up on your feetLight up your heart and stand up on your feet.
Light up your heartLight up your heart.
Kaze wo umidashi kakete iku yoI’ll stir up a breeze and keep on running.
Hajimari wa itsu datte ataerareta shinjitsu janaiThe start isn’t ever the ‘truth’ that’s been handed to us.
Light up your heartLight up your heart.
We were born to run free outside your glass doorWe were born to run free outside your glass door.
Is that summer dream glowing the same forever youngIs that summer dream glowing the same, forever young?
Or waiting for the perfect timeOr is it waiting for the perfect time,
To wake while stones turn to grimeto wake up while stones turn to grime?
I couldn’t hold fire till the kingdom comeI couldn’t hold the fire until the kingdom comes.
If we don’t break away right nowIf we don’t break away right now,
We might never make it outwe might never make it out.
Because i heard your heartbeatBecause I heard your heartbeat,
Gave me something to loseit gave me something to lose,
And something real to proveand something real to prove.
Now i see the flame grow higher than everNow I see the flame grow higher than ever.
I’m ready for the world in my own reflectionI’m ready for the world in my own reflection.

What’s over the horizon line i still believe in our high hopesI still believe in our high hopes for what’s over the horizon line.
