One standout line, ‘Go further, go even further one more time,’ captures the song’s relentless spirit. The vocalist delivers these words with a passion that feels both personal and universal.
Itsuka bokura no ue o suresure niSomeday, grazing right above our heads,
Toorisugite itta ano hikouki othat airplane that flew past us,
Fushigi na kurai ni oboeteruI remember it so strangely well,
Imi mo nai no ni nazekaeven though it means nothing, for some reason.
Fugainakute naita hi no yoru niOn the night I cried over my own worthlessness,
Tada tsuyoku naritai to negattetaI just wished I could become stronger.
Sono tame ni hitsuyou na yuuki oThe courage I needed to make that happen,
