Maze Answer Lyrics English Translation by Kalmia
The songwriter mentions a ‘labyrinth called the world,’ symbolizing the confusion and constraints of life. One line stands out: ‘I can’t fly with these broken wings,’ a powerful metaphor for feeling trapped. The lyrics push for a future where sadness doesn’t define existence.
Toutei kaware wa shinai yoPeople won’t change at all.
Hito no honshitsu wa sonna mon saThat’s just the way human nature is.
Dareka no seiron ga ki ni iranyaIf you don’t like someone’s ‘righteous logic’,
Iron o butsukete kotoba no sensouThrow an objection back and start a war of words.
Koutei ga seigi no sekai deIn a world where affirmation counts as justice,
Sonna toko ni umarete itatteeven if you were born in a place like that,
Sore wa sore de taikutsu nan desu toyou’d just say it’s boring, wouldn’t you?
Fuman ga fuman o sodateru dake saDissatisfaction just breeds more dissatisfaction.
Soutei shite ita mirai waIn the future we imagined,
Dare mo ga waraeru hazu dattaeveryone was supposed to be able to smile.
Sou shita yumemonogatari o kittoSurely, that kind of fairy tale
Dare mo ga souzou shita hazu na no niwas what everyone must’ve envisioned.
Antei o totta ketsumatsu gaBut an ending that prioritized stability
Erabareta hito dake waraeruonly lets the chosen ones smile.
Toki ni wa kamisama mo misuteru hodoTo the point where even God abandons us,
Akireta sekai ni natte shimattan dathe world’s become a truly shocking place.
Iranai yo mou dareka no osagari moI don’t want anyone’s hand-me-downs anymore.
Shiranai kyou o sorosoro choudai yoIt’s about time you gave me a ‘today’ I’ve never known.
Ienai you ni shita no wa antara deshouYou’re the ones who made it so I couldn’t speak, aren’t you?
Ienai kizu ga fuete kienai noMy unspeakable wounds keep growing and won’t go away.
Ai o utatte sakunde todoketaraIf I sing and scream about love until it reaches you,
Dare mo kanashimazu ni ireru kanaI wonder if everyone can live without sadness?
Negatte kanatta mono hodo saThe more we wished for something and got it,
Daiji ni dekinai no wa naze kanawhy is it that we can’t seem to treasure it?
Achira kochira dochira e yukou kaThis way, that way, which way should we go?
Marude sekai to iu na no meiro desuIt’s just like a labyrinth called the ‘world’.
Manzoku ni teashi wa nobase ya shinai yoI can’t even stretch out my limbs properly.
Oreta hane de wa habatakenai noI can’t fly with these broken wings.
Issai gassai nagesutete saI’ll just throw everything and anything away.
Mou ii kai mou ii yoAre you ready? I’m ready.
Mou isso zenbu shiranpuri shiyouI’d rather just pretend I don’t know anything at all.
Tomedonaku tobikau muchi na seigi waThe ignorant justice flying around endlessly
Kitto dareka no sakebi na no desuis surely just someone’s scream.
Sore ja kyou wa mou neru koto ni shiyou kaWell then, shall we call it a night and go to bed?
Ashita ni kitai shite oyasuminasaiPut your hopes in tomorrow and say goodnight.
Ai o utatte sakunde todoketaraIf I sing and scream about love until it reaches you,

Sore hodo iranakattathat we didn’t really want it that much.
Sore dake no hanashi desuThat’s all there is to it.
