NO MAP Lyrics Translation Uverworld | EPIPHANY
TAKUYA∞ tells the story of breaking darkness with a dance floor sonata sanctuary. The poet writes vivid lines about light carving a new world. He notes the line ‘We rise up through the harshness’ as ‘We rise through hardship’.
We walk out from the darknessWe walk out from the darkness,
Break the walls and carve a new worldBreak the walls and carve a new world,
We rise up through the harshnessWe rise up through the harshness,
Chase the lightChase the light,
Chase the lightChase the light,
With youWith you.
Koi dansu furoa sonata sankuchuariLove’s on the dance floor, your sonata sanctuary,
War mo make itai kurai dekai sekai ni daibuDiving into a world so huge it almost hurts to make it,
Nanimo kowakunai run mo tomaru kurai naraI’m not afraid of anything, but if this run were to stop,
Mou kutabaritaiI’d rather just drop dead.
Naifu na like ga ai ni naru tomatta byoushinA raw, sharp like turns to love while the clock’s hand stops,
Meikaku ni mokuteki ga ushinawarenai subete no taigimeibunMy clear purpose won’t be lost in all these grand justifications,
Imi susumu no wa kimiYou’re the reason I keep moving forward,
Sono tame ga kore made no truth energyEverything until now has been for that ‘truth energy’.
