Into the Light Lyrics English Translation by Kessoku Band
藤森元生 writes about shattering self-doubt, with the line “I’ll shatter my inferiority complex and jump into the light!” The poet also mentions catching miracles in each passing moment.
(Watashi + kitai – fuan) x gitaa = rokku da(Me + expectation – anxiety) x guitar = rock!
(Watashi + kimi – jikan) / gitaa = raibu da(Me + you – time) / guitar = a live show!
Sensenkyoukyou ni natteruI’m trembling with fear,
Honban hachi shousetsu maejust eight bars before the show starts.
Rettoukan bukkowashiteI’ll shatter my inferiority complex,
Hikari no naka e tobidashitaand I’ve jumped right into the light!
Umareta yo hitotsuA new world has been born,
Atarashii sekai gajust for us.
Kono jikan kono basho marude esoragotoThis time and this place feel just like a dream.
Maifun maibyou ga kisekiEvery minute and every second is a miracle,
Setsuna no kiramekia momentary flash of light.
Hibi no sukima ni imi o otoseLet’s drop some meaning into the cracks of our daily lives.
Umaku ikanakute moEven if things don’t go well,
Mae o mukenakute moeven if I can’t look forward,
Kono fureezu kono utathis phrase and this song,
Hontou ni suki na otoare the sounds I truly love.
Ganbattatte tsumahajikiEven when I try my best, I’m an outcast,
Sore demo tsumahajikibut I’ll keep ‘plucking away’ at it anyway.
Todokete miyou bukiyou demoI’ll try to reach you, even if I’m clumsy,
Tabanete ikou izuko made moand I’ll keep tying it all together, no matter how far we go.
(Watashi + seken – ishi soutou) x rikai = auto da(Me + society – ‘mutual intent’) x understanding = I’m out!
Watashi + kimi wa baiasu oto / mugen no wa = bando daMe + you is a biased sound / an infinite loop = that’s a band!
Genjitsu kakezurimawatteI’m running around in circles through reality,
Risou ga tonza suru jittaiwhere my ideals always come to a standstill.
Gensou konekurimawashiteI’m messing around with illusions,
Ritou ni seiza suru seitailiving like a creature isolated on a remote island.
Kotei kannen toriharatteI’ll clear away these fixed ideas,
Yogen o satchi shita konyabecause I’ve sensed a prophecy tonight.
Hikari no saki e daibu suru utaThis is the song that dives into the light!
Umareta yo hitotsuA new world has been born,
Atarashii sekai gajust for us.
Kono jikan kono basho marude esoragotoThis time and this place feel just like a dream.
Maifun maibyou ga kisekiEvery minute and every second is a miracle,
Setsuna no kiramekia momentary flash of light.
Hibi no sukima ni ishi yo yadoreLet my will take root in the cracks of our daily lives.
Rikai funou de atte moEven if it’s impossible to understand,
Yomaigoto to shite moeven if it’s just nonsense,
Kono sukeeru kono doraibuthis scale and this drive,
Hontou ni suki na otoare the sounds I truly love.
Dou yattatte tsumahajikiNo matter what I do, I’m an outcast,
Sore sura tsumahajikiand I’ll even ‘pluck’ at that feeling too.
Todokete miyou bukiyou demoI’ll try to reach you, even if I’m clumsy.
Kanadete miyou kono hibi oI’ll try to play the music of these days.
Tabanete ikouI’ll keep tying it all together,
Ima o ashita mofrom today into tomorrow.
Motto kittoI’m sure there’s more,
Izuko made mono matter how far we go!
